7. Kelcee G.
“Kelcee was great and took good care of our dog Winston in our apartment for a weekend! She came to meet us and Winston the week before our trip, and kept us updated with photos of him while we were away. This was our first experience using a dog sitting service like Rover and it was great to have peace of mind the whole weekend knowing Winston was being taken care of. Would highly recommend Kelcee to anyone!”
8. Julia R.
“Julia provided a week of pet sitting for my anxious dog. She was very kind and accommodating and offered to meet us multiple times beforehand so my dog could get used to her. We even booked a walk through Rover before the sitting. She was a great sitter, and I’d recommend her!”
9. Nicole C.
“Nicole is a wonderful pet sitter. She is incredibly good with dogs who adore her. She is responsible and respectful of any pet-specific needs. She is also good with dog training and keeping your pup sharp. We trust her immensely and seeing our pup so happy with her gives us good reason to. Our pup loves her immensely, and I know yours will too!”
10. Molly D.
“Molly is fantastic. We have a 12 y/o Golden with lost mobility in his hind legs. Taking care of him is no small feat and Molly did a great job handling him. She’s responsive, super caring and very thoughtful about caring for our guy and for our home. She went above and beyond and we are so grateful to have such a thoughtful and capable partner when we’re away from home!”
11. Sarah M.
“I highly recommend Sarah as a dog walker and pet sitter on Rover. Having grown up with dogs her entire life, Sarah has a deep understanding and love for our canine friends. Her experience with very large dogs demonstrates her capability and confidence in handling pets of all sizes. Additionally, Sarah's nurturing care extends to cats, as she has lovingly cared for her own for the past four years. With her gentle demeanor and genuine passion for animals, Sarah is sure to provide exceptional care to any pet entrusted to her. She has been a great pet sitter over the years for our lab.”
12. Kristen K.
“This is the second time Kristen has watched Miller at our house, and she's been great! Communicative, punctual, goes above and beyond, and most importantly, Miller really loves her. Will definitely use Kristen again & again :)”
13. Jacob Z.
“Jacob was a great sitter for Marilyn when we went away for the weekend! He read through all the instructions thoroughly and was very good about updating us with photos. Marilyn is a 70lb German Shepherd mix and can be a stubborn walker at times and he managed to take her on a ton of walks! He even cleaned up before he left and left the house just as it was when we left. Would recommend!”
14. Zoe C.
“Zoe was fantastic with Sunny! She got there right on time and on short notice too. I felt completely secure the entire time and she sent many wonderful pictures. She even helped take care of the plants! Thanks Zoe!”
15. Sabine G.
“Look no further. Cannot imagine a better dog sitter than Sabine!. We were planning an extended trip to Oregon and, needed a dog professional to be with our 7 month old cockapoo. We didn't know Sabine from Adam's house cat. She was spectacular. Even before we met, she was clear, friendly, and responsive in all communications.. Dogs know the truth and our dog loved her immediately. Sabine took Augie for long walks, cuddled with him, understood him, and he adored her. She followed our instructions to a T, and this was for an automated house. Upon our return, our house was spotless, and our dog was spotless. She even bathed him. She shared details of his day and sent great photos daily. When we were reunited with Augie, he was relaxed, and happy. Clearly, Sabine was the total package: responsible, flexible, kind, fit and smart. If we could have given Sabine more than 5 stars, we would have. We've already reserved time with her for another upcoming trip. Thank you Sabine!”
16. Tom S.
“Tom was wonderful! Our dog is usually really nervous around strangers and we’re pretty used to coming home to a skinnier version of her but she seemed to really enjoy being around him. Would definitely ask him to look after them again.”
17. Renee R.
“Renee has now sat for our two labs in our home several times, and each time provides excellent communication (including photos) about the dogs or anything that may be happening in the house. We return to a clean home, happy pets and it has made returning from going away so much easier. Highly recommend.”
18. Maria L.
“Maria was so kind and communicative while watching Charlie. I loved all the pictures she sent, and she gave me peace of mind while I was traveling last minute. It is ideal if you have parking available for her.”
19. Kevin O.
“Kevin is very compassionate with pets of all kinds. I’ve relied on Kevin many times to watch my two kittens. He’s cared for them in special ways and always done an amazing job at making my pets comfortable and feeling like they are at home.”
20. Shawn V.
“We had a wonderful experience with Shawn, who is a bright, resourceful, skilled , trustworthy and exceptionally likable woman. Such a pleasure to return after our trip to a houseful of calm, comfortable, happy pets. Thank you so much, Shawn!”
