“I am overjoyed with the care my babies received with Natalya! My pup can be a bit of high maintenance with anxiety and bladder issues. She sent daily updates and reassured me of how they were doing with photos and videos! She did over night visits and hung out with them in the day as well! She is so kind and respectful. I could tell my fur babies felt at ease and comfortable in her care! I would recommend her to anyone and will definitely request her services in the future.”
“Elsker and Kody loved being with Renee this beginning of September while their parents were out of town! They appreciated all the walks, the frozen snacks and Renee’s company at night! They are looking forward to spending more time with Renee next time their parents go on vacation! Thank you Renee for everything you have done for Elsker and Kody!”
“Rose was great! Stayed with our herd overnight and even managed to get our under-the-weather dog to take her meds. Our 3 cats warmed up to her really quickly and everyone was happy when we got home.”
“Ravan was awesome! She took such good care of my dog while I was away, I didn’t have to worry about a thing. She took him for walks and to the park. Even my plants were watered!! I will absolutely book with her again and will recommend her to anyone looking for a thoughtful and caring sitter.”
“Minh was great! She took amazing care of my dog, was very responsive and sent me fun pictures and updates while I was away. I came home to a very happy boy so I couldn’t be happier!”
“Katelynn is a sweet and thoughtful sitter! She was very respectful of finding ways to help with our homecoming. She kept us informed and updated photos very well. Katelynn has a gift with animals and is missed at our home.”
“Our dogs loved Jessica! She is very communicative and took care of them and our house as if it were her own. Our flight was delayed and she was able to help us out a little longer too.”
“We are so thankful for Victoria! She took care of our 3 dogs and home for a weekend and we trusted her through out our stay. We appreciate her communication and the time she spent with our dogs. Thank you Victoria!”
“Krista was amazing! She stayed in our home and gave our dog Bailey lots of love and attention. She also gave us thoughtful updates on how she was doing including some pictures. We came home to a happy pup and a spotless house. Highly recommend!”
“Morgan was wonderful. She was so attentive, playful and caring towards my 5 month old puppy. I'm a first time dog owner, and she gave me helpful tips and even left me a list of suggestions of products for my pup. I have already asked her to watch him again. :)”
“I don’t know if you’re able to review a person more than once. But I had Andrhu coming for drop in visits during my long work hours because he lives just a few blocks away. I noticed my cat who is 15 took to him right away and he paid attention to my very *particular* requests about her care. Not only did I have a significant increase in my cats level of calmness - but literally at the LAST minute I saw that the sitter I use when I’m out of town had left my cat alone for almost 24 hours. Then pushed he out of bed when the cat tried to ask for minimal attention. To say I was crushed was an understatement. I was in complete tears. I have a lot going on and am kind of a single pet parent until my husband can join me in the USA. Andrhu AGAIN was a god send. One one days notice I let the other sitter go home for personal reasons and Andrhu agreed to stay - he was with her most all day every day. I came home today, my cat happy, playing with a ball at 15 years old. And now I am comfortable purchasing a kitten to make her (and I) even happier. Knowing I have Andrhu close by - he’s SO flexible. He’s honest and communicates expectations clearly which I appreciate and respect. The amount of guilt I carry about leaving her is at a zero. Down from about 200 on my last vacation. And now with our new addition coming - I consider Andrhu to be part of my cat tribe to make sure they’re all ok. I don’t want him to get completely booked (selfishly). But this is the relationship I needed for my sweet girl until my husband is allowed to live here - and for every vacation after. I highly recommend treating him with utmost respect. I have a guest set of linens, towels and hope Andrhu will help himself to anything food or drink in my home. At this point my home is him home and even if we haven’t met he is cat-family. Hire him whenever you can. The compassion he shows to even old pets it unmatched. I’m almost crying tears of joy from having my anxiety so much reduced in this difficult time in my life.”
“We love Heather so much! She watched our two dogs and cat for 5 nights, and took such good care of all of them. She has great communication, attention to detail, sends updates and photos, and most of all is sweet and kind with our animals. Our reactive dog loves her calm demeanor. Thanks, Heather!”
“Mariana is absolutely wonderful. She was very communicative, kind, and paid close attention to detail to make sure she was giving the best care to my older shiba, Luna who has a lot of quirks. :) I got so many updates with photos throughout her stay and did not have any worries with Luna’s care while I was away, which is priceless! On top of that, she kept everything very clean in the house. We would love to have Mariana stay again with Luna in the future. Thank you Mariana! :)”
“Lizette was hands down one of the best pet sitters I’ve ever had. They were attentive, thorough, respectful and kind. We did a meet and greet prior to booking and they made sure to bring a list of questions and take lots of notes on our pets behaviors, quirks, likes/dislikes. Parker is more on the anxious side when my partner and I travel and Lizette was intentional with spending as much time with him and playing with him as possible. He has a lot of energy, and Lizette made sure to be attentive to that. I would highly recommend Lizette to anyone that has anxious pups/high energy pets. & Of course, our little kitty, Dusty loved them too. Thank you, Lizette! We hope to use you in the future again.”
“Shelby was so incredible! She was very attentive to our pups, sent lots of pictures, and handled our special needs dog with the utmost care and grace. She went above and beyond by washing a few dishes we had left in the sink before we went out and we were surprised and delighted that she did that for us. We look forward to seeing her again and so do our pups!”
“Michial is always great! Our two Goldens love spending time with him, he keeps us updated, and very respectful. Takes great care of our home and pups while we are away. Would 100% recommend!”
“Matthew was awesome. My shy boy, William, took to him instantly. He has a new best friend. Bailey was very shy at first. Matthew was very patient and she eventually interacted with him more. I would highly recommend Matthew. He took very good care of my babies and our home.”
Algona pet parents share their Rover experiences
Brandy did an amazing job with my pup while we were away on vacation. My German Shepherd is older and has separation anxiety every time we leave. Brandy took the time to get to know her and her routine. We received photos every day, and I could tell my pup was happy and getting so much attention.This was the first time I hired a dog sitter to stay in my home, and I was a little nervous. Brandy was professional and took care of my home and my pup as if they were her own. I would absolutely recommend Brandy to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter.
Morgan was great, on time, and communicates. We werent gone long but recieved a sweet photo of our girls while they were in morgans care. We felt very comfortable leaving our girls in her hands. More days/ weekends planned for her to stay with our girls. Our girls loved her!!

Danielle was so wonderful! I received so many pictures of my boys, it makes me so happy to see all the fun and love they got while I was gone! She left my house so clean, and even put clean sheets on my bed so I didn’t have to think about it after a day of travel! Will absolutely be reaching out to her again!
Shay is the most professional, and reliable, and just “above and beyond” dog sitter you could ever ask for! Our pup had a better time with her than she does with us at home! Shay is a great communicator and always kept in the loop even during our busy trip. Shay will definitely be our top choice when we need someone for dog sitting!
I would give Charolette 6 or 7 stars if I could! She was amazing with my two little dogs and they now LOVE auntie Charolette. She was great about communicating any questions or concerns that came up. She cleaned up without hesitation when the dogs made "deposits" in inappropriate locations, and our house was perfectly tidy when we arrived home to happy, calm puppies. Thank you Charolette for being the best dog/house sitter we have ever used! There needs to be more of your kindness, compassion and consideration in this world.
Yvonne was great!! Her communication was top notch! Her attention to detail was wonderful! She truly cares for the animals she is looking after! Our two dogs and a frog were in perfect hands while we were away. In addition, Yvonne was very respectful of our home. I would definitely say she went above and beyond!
Joanne was great. We booked her last minute when our usual dog sitter cancelled last minute. This was our first time using Rover and were a bit skeptical about letting a stranger in our home. She was flexible, a great communicator, and took great care of our fur baby and home. She even offered to come back the next morning if our flight plans changed. I will definitely reach out to Joanne again in the future and highly recommend her to care for your pets and home.
Christine is a fantastic pet sitter. We have never had an overnight sitter but needed one and she came highly recommended for good reason. Our dogs and cat clearly love her, we received plenty of photos and our house was immaculate when we returned (maybe better than we left it). Best of all our pets were happy and healthy and had clearly been well cared for in our absence. Thank you Christine!
