1. Mackenzie W.
“Great communication and daily photos/videos. This was our first time leaving our dog, so she didn't eat for the first day we were gone. We collaborated on some problem solving, and she decided she could eat again with the help of some peanut butter. House was well cared for, as well.”
2. Yasmin M.
“Yasmin was amazing with my dog Susie! I had total peace of mind knowing she was being taken care of. Great communication and so kind! I’ll definitely use her again 😊”
3. Lori G.
“Lori is great with our two cats and two dogs, and they all love her. We’ve had her over for check-ins, and she recently stayed with the pets at our house for a week - we came home to four happy pets. Having someone like Lori to rely on gives us great peace of mind!”
4. Allison G.
“Allison did a great job with our elderly, diabetic dog and our cat while we were away for a trip! Our animals were well cared for, and our house was taken care of for us while we were gone. Allison followed all of our instructions, and communicated well. We would definitely reach out to Allison for help again!”

8. Cory W.
“Cory was awesome. I will definitely book with him again. He was on time and kept in contact with me throughout the house sitting process. I had a bad experience with Rover before and he has certainly renewed my faith about the program. Thanks again Cory!!”
9. Brenda E.
“Brenda was awesome! She was flexible when our plans changed and the communication was great from start to finish. It was obvious from the photos she sent that our dogs were very comfortable with her. The house looked great when we got home. We will definitely have her pet sit for us again!”
10. Nathan P.
“Nathan did a great job with our two cats over the long weekend despite it being pretty last minute from us! Tried his best to win them over but they're a fickle crew. Would happily ask him again for future cat visits.”
11. Nadine H.
“Nadine was absolutely professional, always sent me pictures and little notes about anything going on with my dog. Followed instructions to the letter.”
12. Sarah P.
“Sarah took excellent in-home care of our dog and cat while we were away six days! We had to ask an additional favor of her by bringing out trash can in after trash day. We appreciate her agreeing to do so! We definitely hope that Sarah is available next time we need someone to watch our pets!”
13. Madi B.
“Madi was an excellent Rover! We felt comfortable with all the updates they provided each day. Madi did a great job with sticking to our routine and making sure our active dogs got the exercise they needed. When we arrived back home the house was clean and the boys were happy and you could tell they had gotten a lot of exercise and attention.”
14. Molly B.
“This was my first time with Molly watching the boys. She was awesome! She sent so many pictures and videos which was great, I could tell that they were comfortable with her. She even let them sleep with her and hog the bed! I had several issues with my flights and she was more than willing to be on standby if I didn’t make it home on time. I’ll definitely use Molly again in the future 🌟”
15. Andrea M.
“Andrea was a great communicator and took great care of our dog, cat and house. The house was also spotless when we can home. We will definitely have her help again if we can!”
16. Torina G.
“Torina was excellent at caring for my 2 dogs over the weekend. Our dogs have different activity levels and needs, and she was great with both of them. She sent lots of pictures while we were away and left the house clean. I've already booked her again for another stay:)”
17. Jack P.
“Jack is a great candidate for the Rover program. He is kind, patient and always puts the dog’s needs first. He has taken on several foster dogs with his partner and they have successfully helped them become adopted! I would recommend him without hesitation to take care of any dogs in his care.”
18. Natasha A.
“Natasha is incredible with dogs! It was reassuring knowing that our pups were well taken care of. We also appreciated the communication and responsiveness with messaging! A true professional who I would trust with my pups any time.”
