1. Amber K.
“Amber is very caring and truly loves animals. She tended to our dogs and even bought a couple toys for them to keep them extra happy. She was attentive and took pictures as well as took them for walks for fun. We were in a wedding and our sitter cancelled on us last minute. She helped us for a second weekend in a row and was prompt in responding to our request. She is awesome.”
2. Ginger T.
“Ginger was great. Arrived early and took very good care of my dog. Sent me text pictures during the stay. I could tell that Jazz really liked her. The stay was for just a few hours to allow me to attend a social event, but I was happy to pay, the full overnight charge as Ginger was very professional, very pleasant and indeed very reliable. She would be my first choice in the Highlands/Cashiers NC area when I am traveling there. MKW.”
3. Sara W.
“We felt totally at ease leaving our pups with Sara. Her energy is calm and gentle and I could tell that our pups were just as comfortable as we were. She was very communicative and sent lots of pictures and we came home to a clean house and happy, tired out pups. What more could you ask for? We would definitely call Sara again!”
4. Levon B.
“Levon is amazing! My boy Melvin is very skittish and inclined to be fearful of new men, but Levon put him at ease right away, and Melvin was licking his face and trying to climb on him within minutes of our first meeting! I’m blown away by how Levon immediately knew exactly how to handle and communicate with Melvin—my guy is definitely a tough case with major anxiety and leash reactivity (which means 62 lbs jerking at your arm when our passing-trigger protocol fails to keep him calm), and Levon is literally the one and only person I feel comfortable handing the leash to as of right now. I was finally able to take a three-day trip without Melvin over Thanksgiving because of Levon—I hadn’t been able to do that since adopting him because he’s such a handful and has some special needs—and I was actually able to enjoy myself without worrying about Melvin! For him it was just a great visit with his buddy who took him for awesome outings to walk and hike, and quality time at the house where he received lots of love and attention. Melvin and I are so grateful to have Levon as our go-to now for when I want to schedule trips, and also as someone who can bring him out on adventures for extra exercise and stimulation!”
5. Stacey L.
“Stacey is absolutely the best - she took such good care of our dog!! We were nervous about leaving for a few days, but as it turned out we had no reason to be - she cared for him as if he were her own. We feel very fortunate to have found her.”
6. Hayley S.
“It was my first time using Rover and of course I was nervous about leaving my 2 not so little soul mates, Olive & Kipper! After I messaged Hayley she quickly responded and suggested we met in a public park so she could meet them. At first meeting I was blown away by her professionalism and her instant love for my puppachino’s! Whilst away she sent several updates of how they were doing, along with adorable pictures of everyone playing and snuggling! I was able to enjoy my trip away to New England knowing that they were being loved so wonderfully! Upon returning home, Hayley had even gone above and beyond looking after our home as well. My instructions were “as long as my babies are thriving then nothing else matters”, however she had kept the place beautifully tidy (I’m a bit OCD with having a clean home, and I was impressed). I cannot tell you how happy I am knowing that I have someone I trust with my two 70lbs pitbull love bugs! I’d recommend Hayley to anyone and everyone!! She truly is special ?”
7. Madeline M.
“Madeline did a good job with my fur babies and I would definitely use her again.”
8. Megan K.
“Megan did a phenomenal job taking care of Kyla while we were out of the country. My other sitter cancelled last minute due to an injury to her leg 2 days before leaving. Megan stepped up last minute and gave Kyla the extra attention and love that she needed. We felt completely comfortable while away thanks to the updates about her condition, plethora of pictures, and prompt replies! She even went to the vet to pick up additional meds and provided an update about the vets suggestions. We could not have been more comfortable, appreciative, and overall overjoyed with how well she took care of Kyla. We will absolutely be requesting her services again any time we cannot bring Kyla along!! Thanks for an incredible job!! Also, she took exceptional care of the house while we were away, going above and beyond as if it were her own. We cannot thank you enough!”
9. Indigo L.
“Indigo did a great job watching my pets! I have a puppy, 4 cats, a bearded dragon, and a snake. Indigo provided pictures daily as well as updates and did everything we asked. Would definitely book with them again!”
10. Katherine G.
“Kate took great care of our dogs while we were on vacation! This was our first time using Rover and a pet sitter to stay at our home and we felt completely comfortable and will definitely use Kate again. She treated our home with care and respect and was also so good with the dogs and their needs. We received pictures and video updates throughout our time away that really helped us feel connected. We returned home to two happy pups. We would highly recommend Kate to anyone looking for a reliable pet sitter.”
11. Gabriela B.
“Really glad we used Gabrielle! TJ really enjoyed her company! Kept us up to date with how he was doing over our 3 day stay. We will use her again and would highly recommend!”
12. Megan W.
“Megan and Josh did an amazing job watching our pups! They send many great pictures of Georgie and Evie during their stay and we can’t wait to have them back. I know for a fact the pups enjoyed their time! Highly recommend!!! :)”
13. Gillian L.
“Gillian was absolutely amazing. She responded immediately and was available last minute/short notice to watch our dog for the weekend. She sent photos and updates multiple times a day. She is a dream come true pet sitter. Our dog loves her. I would highly recommend Gillian! The best!”
14. Thomas M.
“I have used Thomas as a dog walker and recently as a house and dog sitter. Our pup was very happy and Thomas provided daily pictures and pup news. I felt very comfortable leaving Thomas in our home and with our pup. Highly recommend”
15. Kaley M.
“Kaley took care of our pet family while we were out of the country for ten days. She sent regular updates and pictures, often enough but not so much as to be intrusive. She took our dog on hikes away from home making for a very happy dog. We felt confident and relaxed knowing our three pets were well cared for. We returned to find the house as we left it with the laundry and dishes all done. We would hire Kaley again in a heart beat. Thank you, Kaley.”
16. Juliann C.
“Our regular dog/house sitter cancelled on us with three weeks notice. A sitter I had booked months in advance. Trying to find a new sitter is very stressful as you want your pets to have the best possible care in your absence. Having selected a few from the Rover site. Juliann responded to our initial request. We are so happy that she did. Juliann requested a meet and great to see if our dogs where a good fit for her. Upon meeting Juliann we were completely confident in her ability to provide excellent care for ours dogs and our home in our absence. Juliann is by far the best dog/house sitter we have ever had. She arrived on time and and sent us updates and photos daily. Our dogs wanted for nothing. Juliann went way above and beyond. Our dogs loved their time with her. Our home was spotless when we arrived back from our trip. Juliann even went as far as to wash all the bed linens and remake the bed in our bedroom. We can’t say enough about quality of care she provided. We where extremely lucky to have found Juliann on the Rover site and you will be too! She is simply the best.”
17. Anna K.
“Anna communicated very well with us and kept us informed about Lucie. No problems were encountered, and she took great care of Lucie. We will ask Anna to sit for us on future trips.”
18. Neil B.
“Neil and his daughter Mackenzie have been my go to choice for my pet care. They are highly reliable, fast to respond to messages, and send me daily photos of my pet as reassurance while I am away. They go above and beyond to care for my cat, and with Neil I know my Emmy is in good hands. I highly recommend Neil's services to anyone looking for a regular pet sitter.”
19. Craig K.
“Thank you so much for taking such good care of our babies!!! You did such a great job of communicating with me the whole time we were gone and I truly appreciate it!!! It's not easy to leave your home behind much less your babies when you have to travel but Craig made the process a million times easier and we were able to focus on our work knowing that all were well cared for. I have to say I am not an easy person to put at ease so this is all a huge compliment to Craig. Thank you again!”
20. Anastasia S.
“Anastasia took on our complicated situation with these. Our dogs secure and remained calm despite their reactivity issues. She was excellent with feeding and special accommodations of medication and foods for our allergic dog. I’d recommend her with regards. She even met the challenge of walking them sometimes can be difficult and our neighborhood With animals running loose .”
