“Max was an awesome dog sitter in our home for our two pups while we were out of town for a week. He was very caring, followed directions, and was communicative throughout the stay. Thanks to him, our dogs were played with, cared for, and loved. We will definitely be using his services again in the future!”

“Diane is amazing! Our dog Juni is really tough. She's petrified of strangers and sometimes nips. She's very slow to warm up and sometimes won't even let sitters let her outside. There have been times when she boycotted eating for days, and even when we have family watch her, she's often sick for days after we get back because of stress. Diane worked with Juni and treated her with kindness, patience, and understanding. She gave her space and even did some emotion/body coding work with her which I thought was really cool. She treated our house with respect and we returned to it spotless. I felt very safe and comfortable having her stay in our home, and I think Juni did too. She was in great spirits when we got back and she even had a great few days of eating, no stress sickness. We so appreciate Diane's willingness to work with her! In addition, she was very communicative and thorough when it came to the details/logistics of the stay, and came by in advance to meet us and Juni. I would recommend Diane to anyone.”

“Christopher took such great care of our dog, Mochi. He kept us updated with thoughtful messages and great communication, which made it easy to relax while we were away. The best part was picking Mochi up and seeing how happy and comfortable he was. You could tell he was treated like family. It's not easy trusting someone with your dog, but Christopher made it feel effortless. We'd happily book with him again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a caring, dependable sitter.”

“Malcolm is very flexible and punctual! He gave our dogs so much attention and love. I have a reactive and anxious dog I was very worried of being away from, but she loved him and did well. He provides thorough updates and is detailed. Would recommend for dog walks and house sitting needs!”

“Katalina was great while watching our dog and cat! She was responsive and left our home spotless! Thank you for helping us get away for a few days… not easy to do with 3 kiddos these days. It was such a relief to not have to worry about the animals. I would def recommend her!”

“Faith was able to fulfill a last minute house sitting request for my girls and she did a great job caring for them! Very communicative, sent photos, gave snuggles and love, and was very respectful of our home. Will definitely book her again in the future!”

“Justice took good care of my dog and four cats. She was very communicative and had to follow a medication regimen and somewhat complicated feeding system. I will definitely book her again when I’m next out of town!”


“Leah did a fantastic job of keeping us updated on our fur babies. She kept our space clean, maintained good communication, and loved our pups! We are happy to have her again!”

“Milagros did a good job taking care of our dogs while we were away. She was reliable, communicated well, sent photos, and made sure they were well fed and walked.”

“Cheryl was terrific! She stayed at our house and she and Maggie got along great while we were far away for 12 days. She sent regular pictures and updates, so it was great to have a worry-free vacation. All was well at our house when we returned. We would have Cheryl come again.”

“We had an amazing experience with our Rover sitter watching our 3 kitties while we were away. She was incredibly attentive, kept us updated regularly with messages and photos, and really helped ease our anxiety about being away from home. Our cats were well cared for, and we came home to a clean and well maintained place, which we truly appreciated after traveling. You can tell she genuinely cares about the pets she watches and goes above and beyond to make both the animals and owners feel comfortable. We would absolutely book with her again and she will definitely be our go to sitter moving forward. Highly recommend!”


“I’m so glad I found Robin on Rover. It’s always so anxiety-inducing having to search for a new sitter. My usual sitter moved away. Robin was super communiicative, asked great questions, followed the loose schedule and instructions I left and even helped me figure out ways to fix my dog’s picky eating issue. I’ll be using Robin’s services over and over again.”

“We are so grateful we found Colleen! She took amazing care of our 4-month-old puppy, Sal, and gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. On her very first sitting session with us, Sal ate a bee on a walk and vomited a couple of times. Colleen handled the whole situation with incredible calm and good judgment. She recognized something wasn't right, kept us updated the entire time, and got Sal to the emergency vet, through evaluation, and back home swiftly! It was an awkward and difficult situation for everyone, but knowing Sal was with someone who stayed level-headed and made all the right calls meant everything to us. Beyond that, she was kind, communicative, and Sal loved her from the first moment of the meet and greet. We will not hesitate to book with Colleen again and can't recommend her highly enough. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“Dylan was a wonderful sitter! He was very accommodating to my last minute plans and was able to come to my house to sit my dog Sabu. I think Sabu really enjoyed his time with him and I would recommend him to any pet parent!”

Justice stayed with my girl for the weekend and it couldn't have went better. She sent updates, plenty of pictures, left my home spotless, and let me know if anything needed my attention. I'm super grateful to have had her be with my girl and payed attention to the little things. Thank you so much Justice for everything!! ☺️

Sophia watched our two senior dogs while we were out of town, and she was great. She was super communicative and kept them on their regular schedules. We didn’t worry at all on our trip and came back home to two happy and relaxed dogs. We would be very happy to have Sophia watch our dogs again.

Sarah is an awesome and reliable sitter! I had a quick work trip immediately after moving to the area and Maple wasn’t feeling the best, so I was extremely anxious about leaving… but Sarah was so communicative and easy to work with and Maple loved her. Came home to a happy and healthy dog and we are both extremely grateful for Sarah! I will definitely be booking again, thank you Sarah!!!

Another great cat-sit with Violet! My two cats love her and she clearly cares so well for them. She sends great pictures and checks in regularly, which I love when I’m out of town. I also came home to a SPOTLESS house. Cleaner than when I left it! Thank you Violet!

Jacob was an exceptional find for our furry tornado of energy. His experience is obvious to anyone within a few minutes of meeting your dog. He is knowledgeable, kind, and patient. He also left our house in immaculate shape at the end of his stay! You will know your dog is in good hands when you hire Jacob.

Ruby did a fantastic job taking care of our pets and our home!! We came home to three very happy nuggets. I think she brushed them while we were away, since our (very large) dog’s coat is super shiny - and she even took out the trash before leaving! We had to extend our trip by 2 days for a family emergency, and she was incredibly flexible and was able to provide care for the additional 2 days. Ruby definitely went above & beyond, and we’d love to have her sit for our dog & 2 cats again any time!
