“Zelda, our dog, has separation anxiety. Rayna visited a few times before her stay and was calm and gentle with Zelda. It was very evident that, after we returned home from our trip, Rayna did everything she could to make Zelda comfortable and feel safe even though her pack was away. Rayna was quick to respond to my texts during our vacation and took very good care of the house.”
“Elizabeth house-sat for us for a few days while we were away and took wonderful care of our fur babies and garden. She was thoughtful, incredibly detail-oriented, and kept us updated with photos throughout our trip. We always felt confident that she was responsive, trustworthy, and attentive to everything at home. It gave us great peace of mind knowing everything was in such capable hands. Thank you, Elizabeth!”
“We are really excited to have found Daniella. She is very reliable and competent. She did everything we needed plus some. She took care of our 3 dogs and our horse. She sent us lots of pictures and updates. Our dogs are my babies and it makes me anxious to leave them but I could tell in the pictures they were enjoying themselves and happy so I could relax and enjoy myself. We will definitely use Daniella again.”
“Adding in to my earlier review, as I mentioned Rebecca did 2 back to back jobs for us. She also watches the house, the pool and our fish tank. We provided a list of instructions and briefed her on them ahead of time; all went according to our requests. She did tell us that she had school commitments up front and we discussed how long she would be out of the home in advance. It was never very long and our Bogie was kept comfortable throughout. Rebecca was professional in her communications and ensured we had all the information to make the right decision for our pet. We were very pleased with Rebecca's efforts and will be asking her for future bookings.”

Pets, like people, require food that specifically fulfills their nutritional requirements. Both dog and cat diets are made to satisfy the nutritional requirements of the respective species. Importantly, they have quite different food requirements. And I can give that to our furry family members with affection! I'll ensure that your pets have access to clean water at all times. Giving pets a secure, comfortable home is part of giving proper pet care. Pets need to use the restroom frequently, and I'll be there to assist them if they do. I'll see to it that your pet exercises frequently.

Over 7 pet parents in August have booked house sitting
August pet parents share their Rover experiences
Ashlee is the best! I am beyond happy and satisfied with my experience. Let me start with, I was very hesitant about using Rover, but meeting Ashlee and the relationship she had with my fur babies put my mind at ease. I will use her from now on and refer to my friends and family. She sent me pictures and updates every day, which I loved. She noticed my girl needed her donut to stop licking her paws. Coming home and seeing how well they were taken care of is the best and stress-free.
If you like a sitter that is bubbly, happy, full of life, don’t look elsewhere, Hanna is the right fit because my fur boy resonated all that and it filled my heart with gratitude and loads of good wishes for Hanna. She is a natural, dedicated and doesn’t take her responsibilities lightly, actions make people to have faith in others and Hanna has won our hearts completely.
