“We've used Matthew more than once for petsitting our 4 fur babies (2 dogs and 2 cats), and will continue to do so! Very good communication and super punctual. We got lots of updates to show how much fun our pets were having with him.”
“Denise was so kind to our dogs we have a special needs dog and she was wonderful with him she stayed the entire time and even took them on a hike and to the mall. Excellent care of our home and our pets!!! I would highly recommend!!! She even charmed our cat who hates everyone!!! We came home to a clean home and happy babies !!!”
“Sarah was punctual, communicative, and so sweet with my dog. I appreciated her short turnaround response and hope to use her again soon for my frequent work trips. Highly recommended! Thank you!”
“We recently had the pleasure of having Sam watch our two dogs for nearly an entire week, and we couldn’t be more grateful for the care and attention he provided. Sam went above and beyond, even rearranging his work schedule to make sure our dogs were well looked after. He maintained their regimented routine, preparing their unique meals twice a day and taking them out for potty breaks and exercise an additional 3-4 times per day. His conscientiousness really showed in everything he did. Sam stayed overnight in our home, ensuring our dogs felt safe, secure, and comfortable in our absence. His communication was excellent—he sent us multiple photo updates throughout each day, which gave us such peace of mind. It was clear from the photos (and when we returned!) that our dogs were happy, calm, and well cared for. Honestly, I don’t think they even realized we were gone! Sam is incredible with animals, and it’s obvious he has a natural connection with dogs. He’s also friendly, respectful, and trustworthy. Knowing he was there allowed us to enjoy a much-needed vacation without any worry. We’re already planning to book Sam again for our next trip! If you’re looking for someone dependable, kind, and dedicated to caring for your pets as if they were his own, we can’t recommend Sam highly enough. Thank you again, Sam!”
“Wonderful! Very attentive to my poodles. Helped to address a food issue when one of mine went on a hunger strike. Very respectful of my home. She stayed for 3 days and 2 nites. Great communication! Love her!!”
“He was right on time and avalible at very last minute after I got called into work and even stayed later then he was supposed to after I had to stay late for work, I will definitely be using him again.”
“Lindsey was amazing! She helped us out with a last minute trip and was very communicative. She sent lots of pictures of my babies and they seemed to love the attention. Would absolutely recommend her!”
“Leola was AMAZING!!! She was so sweet to my 2 dogs and took great care of them and my home. One of my pups had tummy issues and she was very knowledgable with that to do. She arrived right on time, send me photos and videos to ease my nerves about leaving, and was very quick to reply in our communications. I HIGHLY recommend you allow Leola to take care of your furbabies. I will ABSOLUTELY be asking her to come back soon!!”
“Z’le did an amazing job caring for our pups while we were away for our wedding and honeymoon. She watched them for 3 weeks. They had a bit of a hard time adjusting at first, but Z’le comforted them and really took charge of the situation! Absolutely recommend!!”

Arboretum pet parents share their Rover experiences
Denise was amazing! She stayed with my dog the entire time and made her the main priority. She sent a lot of pictures and updates throughout the day! My dog has a lot of anxiety and Denise clearly made her feel so comfortable and happy. I will absolutely book again!
Emelie was absolutely amazing! She took incredible care of Tito and kept me updated with adorable pictures of him having the best time and sleeping comfortably. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing he was happy, safe, and truly loved. I couldn’t recommend her enough—10/10, hands down!
One word to describe Pauline is Fabulous!!! She has a ton of experience and knowledge when it comes to dogs. My older dog now needs insulin twice a day and Pauline was up to the task. She house sat the dogs and did everything we ask of her. our dogs weren't exactly friendly but she managed them so well that she had them walking the neighborhood, a first for us!! Pauline has a very nice outgoing personality that makes it super easy to communicate with her and is the nicest person you'll ever meet. We were blown away by just how good she really was, we will never use anyone else!!!!!!
This was my first time using Rover, and I needed a cat sitter at the last minute. Kristina was fantastic! She communicated regularly and sent daily pictures, which gave me peace of mind. She even provided a private room for Chloe to help reduce stress, which I really appreciated. Kristina went above and beyond to make sure Chloe was comfortable and cared for. Highly recommend!
Karen was absolutely wonderful! We received frequent updates and took such amazing care of our pup as shown through the photos. She left the house immaculately clean and even washed her bedding. We were not expecting that! We will definitely use her again and she was an amazing fit with our reactive pup.
Stephanie is such an amazing person to rely on for help with your pets. Since moving to San Antonio, we have struggled to find a pet sitter we can trust with our cat and elderly dog. Stephanie took the time to meet with us and go over each detail about caring for them. She was extremely communicative and respectful of our home. She is also extremely knowledgeable about pets in general. We’re so grateful to have met her, and we look forward to working with her again. Thank you, Stephanie!
We could not possibly have asked for a better sitter. I was extremely nervous about leaving my babies alone for a week, but they adored Alexandra. At one point I was beginning to wonder if they preferred her to us! :) Because I felt so secure that my pets were being loved and well cared for I had a fantastic vacation. She was prompt, she complied with request for photos, she got to know each of the animals and put up with my corny jokes. She’s a gem of a sitter. I will 100% be hiring her again. I just hope she’s got space in her calendar! If you’re nervous about leaving your pets alone—Alexandra is the sitter for you. You’ll have nothing to worry about!
