“Gabrielle was awesome! My 2 huskies absolutely love her. She was punctual, reliable and friendly. She sent me updates with pictures which I really appreciated. It was great to see happiness on their faces. She made me feel very comfortable being away from my dogs. I would absolutely book her again!”
“Carl did in-home pet sitting for us and was a delight to work with. He was responsive, professional , had great questions - making us immediately comfortable, and took care of our dogs exceptionally. He has a perfect demeanor for our dogs. What a gem to have found him!”

“Nicole has been a consistent friend to our dogs and has been a joy to have as a sitter. She communicates throughly while pet sitting and in preparation for her visits. We are happy to have her over and of course the dogs love her.”

“Emily is once again amazing as a sitter with our little pup. She’s super communicative and sent so many picks. Toast absolutely loves her! I feel so comfortable any time we have to leave knowing Emily will be there.”

“For the first time in 12 years, I decided that taking my female Maltese, Gemini, on vacation with me was going to be too difficult. My family planned and invited me to an international 13 day trip with many planned stops and activities was too much to handle (I use a walker and I'm 83) so I hired Tina to watch my dog and home. Managing a dog that has not separated from its owner in 12 plus years is challenging. Tina did a great job of dealing with the separation anxiety while simultaneously building a relationship with her. Within days, Tina had won Gemini over and that allowed me to completely enjoy and unforgettable vacation. I am so grateful. Tina also watched my home and did a great job with that. Tina is responsible, attentive to even the smallest details and is 100% committed to take care of her customers. I will hire her again.”

“Karina was absolutely amazing. She gave us regular updates and spoiled our dogs more than we do. She took care of all of their medical issues. We will definitely ask Karina to watch our dogs again.”

“We couldn’t have had a better experience with Yulija! She offered a meet and greet before the stay, followed our instructions carefully, and left our house in perfect condition. She went above and beyond sending photos and videos frequently throughout our booking too. Yulija was especially great with our dog who is extremely anxious and slow to warm up to people. We’ll be booking again for all future trips. Can’t recommend enough!”

“Krissy was great! She was able to help out in a pinch and took great care of our Toby, who normally takes a bit to become comfortable with new people and he settled right in. She took plenty of pictures, shared lots of updates and most of all kept him safe. Will definitely be using her again and highly recommend to others who need a sitter!”

“Michael did a fantastic job and was able to watch my pups over the holidays. Gave frequent updates. Alerted me to any issues. I returned to find the house just as I left it and my dogs were happy and healthy. I would have no issues booking again.”

“Charlotte was fantastic. We had a few hiccups and she was beyond helpful. She was very communicative and sent daily updates with pictures. I would highly recommend her to anyone for pet sitting and will definitely use her again!”

“Ida is amazing!! She took really great care of our cat and gave updates throughout the day. Our cat was very loved while we were away which gave us a peace of mind during our trip. We really appreciated the open communication with Ida — the house was also spotless when we arrived! Truly can’t thank her enough for taking care of our little fur baby.”

“Erica was great! Our girl went in to heat the day before we were supposed to leave. Erica not only took on the challenge confidently but calmed our nerves with consistent updates of the extra care she provided.”

“Kaylee personalizes her visits/stays to match my dog’s routine, which includes sitting outside on nice days - it’s my dogs happy place. Her second favorite thing to do is go for rides and Kaylee never forgets to take her with.😊 thank you again, Kaylee!”


“Monica took wonderful care of our fur babies and our home while we were away for a week! We have a puppy and senior dog and Monica was great with both! She even worked on some training with our pup! She provided great communication and sent lots of pictures to reassure us our girls were doing well while we were away. If you are looking for someone you can trust to take good care of your fur babies (and your home) while you’re traveling, I highly recommend Monica. We will definitely be requesting her again in the future!”

“Jennifer stayed in my home and took care of my Shar-pei Chuffy. This is the first time I've used a service to take care of my dog. She was totally reliable and kept me updated with texts and photos. She won over my standoffish boy and he fell completely in love with her. I would recommend her to anyone.”


“Brittany did a great job watching our pooch as well as the house. She was very friendly, communicative, clean, and Dozer seemed happy as could be when we returned from our vacation. Highly recommend Brittany for dog-sitting!”
“Diane is terrific. Appreciated all of her help taking care of our high energy dog and cat, plus taking care of the house, and great communications every step of the way. Highly recommend!!”

“Madison took on the challenge of my very difficult Beagle and did great! She was very responsive and sent so many great updates about my dogs. I know my dogs were well cared for while we were away. Highly recommend her and would use her again when needed.”

Ana was amazing with our dog while we were away for the weekend. She had scheduled a meet and greet, which made me comfortable leaving my dog with her. Ana was very responsive throughout her stay and sent many photos. The house was also spotless when we came back. I would definitely book with her again!

Michael was great sitting our 3 dogs in our home! We have small, medium, and large and personalities to match, and Michael managed them all well. He sent pictures and videos daily, which kept our minds at ease while we were away. Our home was left as we found it. We are pleased overall and grateful for Michael's services!

Lois was a life saver! I needed a last minute sitter she was quick to respond and jumped right in! She was able to adapt to my dogs needs and my pup took quick to her! She was so kind and listened well to what my needs where! I’m so thankful to found her and can’t wait to book her again!

Jane was great with Riley- understood her special needs and took great care of Riley. She provided updates during her visit. She also responded promptly to our initial questions and meet and greet request. I would recommend Jane to others and will use her again for any future needed dog sitting.

This is was our first time booking a house/dog sitter through Rover. Our experience with Tina was perfect. she took very good care of Sammy, followed every instruction, sent periodic updates, and overall went above and beyond. I can't say enough good things about Tina - she clearly enjoys dogs and wants the best for them. Thank you, Tina!

Gaby is amazing!! She was a last minute booking for us and she was so accommodating! Gus loves her!! She stayed at our house and left it nicely and clean!
