1. Mahlet B.

“I truly can’t say enough nice things about Mahlet and the care she gave my kitten! We had a trip planned for 8 nights away and leading up to the trip I was nervous as this was my first Rover experience. Meeting Mahlet immediately put me at ease! During the trip she sent multiple photo and video updates throughout the day and it was so clear from all of them that my kitten adored her! He is literally smiling in every photo cuddled up against her! He is on a daily probiotic powder which he ran out of during his stay with her so she went out and picked some up (without us needing to ask) so there would be no lapse in his daily probiotics. It is so clear that she loves cats and is very knowledgeable about them. On top of all of the great care she provided to my cat, she also left my apartment spotless! I feel very fortunate I was able to have her as a sitter for my cat! My kitten definitely misses her and we will absolutely be booking her again!”


2. Yaisa G.

“Yaisa was so helpful and wonderful! She kept sending updates about Mowgli throughout the day. I was at a work conference and it gave me so much peace of mind every time she would send an update about Mowgli and a picture of him! She even left a Polaroid of him on my counter! Thank you so much Yaisa!”


3. Caroline G.

“Caroline was exceptional. She took wonderful care of my senior dog that required daily medication. I received tons of pictures and videos and most importantly, she developed a very sweet relationship with my dog. I would book her again in a heartbeat.”


4. Aaron G.

“Aaron is a gem. He was so caring for my boy Krunk. He has a heart and passion for furbabies. Thank you for being such a wonderful soul. Tricia 😉”


5. Jessica D.


“Jessica took great care of my dog while I was out of town. She sent very detailed updates and photos throughout their days. She was a very respectful house guest, and I’d book her again in a heartbeat!”


6. Schirn J.

“Schirn did a wonderful job watching my puppy while I was overseas on vacation. She sent updates and photos every day, and kept her occupied with lots of activity and play. I will (hopefully) work with her again the next time we take a vacation. Thank you!!”


7. Anna M.

“We felt very comfortable that our beloved dog was well cared for and safe while we were out of the country! We got daily updates about his well being with pictures. Will not hesitate to rebook in the future.”


8. Jana P.
“Jena was great with my two kitties and super responsive! I am a super nervous cat mom, and she put all my nerves at ease. Would totally book her again!”


9. Madison O.

“Madison is easily the best dog sitter we’ve ever had. She not only followed the instructions we left perfectly, but went above and beyond to provide our pups with the absolute best care. We were given plenty of updates which included adorable pictures. Both of our dogs are seniors, and Madison was very patient and attentive with their needs. Madison is so kind and thoughtful, we will definitely be reaching out to her again when we need another dog sitter.”


10. Leslie M.

“Leslie was awesome - on time, detailed-oriented as can be, courteous, and most important, put my puppy at ease from the moment they met. Highly recommended. Just don’t hire her when I need her!”




11. Alice C.


“Alice is heaven sent and a life saver! We needed someone to take care of our babies while we were away for the holidays, and I am so thankful we found Alice. She cares so much for the pups, she sends frequent updates, and she left the house spotless. I will absolutely book her again to care for my babies!”


12. Lenin S.

“Lenin is very professional, followed instructions to a tee, and let us enjoy our vacation in peace knowing our animals were being loved and cared for. Would definitely recommend and will be using again.”


13. Enmanuel P.

“We recently booked Manny for 7 nights to take care of our sometimes picky-eater chihuahua. We arrived home from our vacation to a spotless apartment and a very happy doggie! He sent some cute photos while we were gone — our little Ziggy clearly feels comfortable with him and it gave us peace of mind to know he was caring for her. Manny communicates clearly with us, shows up and departs on time and is an overall pleasure to work with. Will certainly book again!”


14. Bryan m.

“Bryan was very patient and understanding with my large anxious dog. We worked together to get her to be comfortable with him and I had the utmost confidence in leaving her with him for two weeks. By the end they were best friends. Vacation saved! Thanks Bryan!”


15. Julia G.

“She was professional and sweet with my pup. Would hire again.”


16. Nataly A.

“We are beyond grateful for Nataly, who cared for our wonderful dog, Topanga, like she was her own. Topanga, who has separation anxiety, can be a little nervous when we leave, but Nataly did an amazing job calming her down and even timed how long it took to settle her, knowing we’ve been working on this. Nataly also went the extra mile to provide us with valuable recommendations for vet services since we’re new pet owners. Her kindness and expertise made us feel completely comfortable from the start. We’ve already booked with Nataly multiple times because Topanga absolutely adores her. We’re recommending Rover to all our pet family and friends—Nataly is the best of the best! Thank you, Nataly! Topanga can’t wait to see you again!”


17. Kerri Anne B.

“Kerri Anne always does an incredible job taking care of our two dogs. She’s great at giving daily updates while we are away and leaves the place spotless! Thanks so much, Kerri Anne!”


18. Brittany L.

“Brittany was amazing! She made me feel so comfortable knowing my girl was in good hands while I was traveling. And she even left my home cleaner than I left it!! Thank you so much!”


19. Colin J.

“Colin is a great sitter! He stayed in home and ensured the cats were played with, ate well, and had company! Will be working with him again and again in the future!”


20. David B J.
“David cared for my Aimee all through his time in HS and college. She was a standard poodle and David loved her. He would take her for long walks and feed her and spend time with her. I never felt bad going away when I knew David would be caring for her. Her would walk her if I had plans after work and couldn't get home or when I traveled. He was completely reliable. He always showed up on time. I would highly recommended him as a dog walker and sitter. He is a honest and responsible young man. ”
