“Thanks Walter for doing a meet and greet with our husky mix, Comet. You handled his energy really well during a longer 6-hour stay. Appreciate you keeping him on his walk schedule and helping him stay calm - he was so mellow when we got home. I’d happily book again! 😊”
“Emily is communicative, trustworthy, and compassionate. During her first stay with our dog and two cats, she handled a vet emergency responsibly and with grace. We’re very happy to recommend her services!”
“Kelso was great watching my 12-week old puppy for the day! I was worried because it was our first time leaving him with a sitter, and Kelso rally put us at ease and took great care of him. Would recommend and use again for sure!”
“Adam is the best house guest and pet buddy. I know he is loved and adored because he gets the same pile on treatment we do as evidenced by the photos he has sent. He leaves the home immaculate and is very timely, caring, and communicative.”
“Kristin was a fabulous caretaker for our dog (and home) when we traveled for a whole week. She was responsive to all our anxieties, and provided regular check-ins so we never had to wonder if everything was okay. Most immportantly, Kristin has a calm presence and was patient and kind with our dog, who is slow to warm up to strangers, and we know that he was safe and happy in our absence.”
“Dilrose took excellent care of my pup while I was out of town. She kept me updated throughout the stay and sent many pictures. I will definitely ask her to watch my pup in the future and highly recommend her to others.”
“Carlyle was an amazing dog sitter for our Greta! We got regular updates, and she handled Greta's medication schedule perfectly. We're usually a little nervous leaving Greta with someone else, but Carlyle made us feel at peace that she was with someone who truly cared for her. Would 100% book again!”
“Had a great experience with Tammy, who provided in-home dog-sitting for our two dogs while we were away for a couple of weeks. She was kind, professional, communicative, and took very good care of the fur babies. We returned to a tidy house and a couple of happy, healthy doggos. Will definitely ask her to sit for us again, and would recommend her to others!”
“Cheryl was on standby for a week but I was impressed that she was very interested in every aspect of my cats health, her feeding and play. She also spent the time to learn any issues in my apartment. I would definitely hire 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.”
“Joel was so kind and responsive housesitting and staying with my older dog. I couldn’t have hoped for more! I felt so comfortable being gone. I will absolutely use him again.”
“Bethany was extremely communicative and a pleasure to work with. My dog Zoey it’s always a little standoffish with someone new. However, Bethany gave her the space to earn her trust. She took her for many long walks daily and made sure she had plenty of pets and snuggles when they became friends!! Bethany was very professional and super helpful while I was away. I hope to work w her again in the future.”
“Wamuyu did a great job watching our pup. She had honest and open communication while treating our house and dog with compassion. I highly recommend her for your next booking!”
“Emily did such a great job house sitting for me and watching my kitty for 11 days! I was nervous using this service for the first time but she was so communicative throughout. She sent daily update photos and followed all instructions to a T. My house was left clean and tidy, and my girl was noticeably more content than usual upon my return after a long absence. I would absolutely use Emily again and highly recommend her.”
Avondale pet parents share their Rover experiences
Nicole was great! Stayed with our girls on short notice and took such good care of them (and us)! Came for a meet-and-greet since this was our first time, which I really appreciated. Just the right amount of communication while we were away, including photos of our dogs looking blissful. Thank you, Nicole!
Megan is absolutely wonderful! Not only did she take amazing care of our pup, she also left our home more spotless than when she arrived and helped take care of a lapse in our internet service while we were gone. She is the definition of above and beyond. And such a joy to communicate with! I feel so comforted knowing she was with Bandit and watching over our home.
Nya was fantastic! From the very first meet and greet, she asked thoughtful questions and made it clear she genuinely cared about getting to know Cowboy’s routine and needs. While we were away, she sent detailed updates twice a day along with tons of photos, which gave us so much peace of mind. She was incredibly attentive, communicative, and proactive, and I truly never worried about Cowboy while he was in her care. It was obvious he was getting lots of attention and affection. On top of that, our house looked exactly as we left it when we got home. I would absolutely book with Nya again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring sitter.
We originally booked Allie for a 2 week house sit, and unfortunately Socks had a medical emergency while we were on a different continent. I genuinely don’t know what we would have done without her. Allie became Socks’ advocate when we couldn’t be there ourselves. She drove her to multiple vets, spent hours and hours at appointments, volunteered without hesitation to make long drives, stayed with Socks throughout the entire process, and made sure she was never alone or scared. Over three incredibly stressful days, she kept us constantly updated, remained calm and level-headed, asked the right questions, and helped us make decisions from thousands of miles away. What impressed us most was not just the time and effort she put in, but how deeply she cared. She was firm and clear with the vets, thoughtful with us, and incredibly compassionate with Socks. At every step, we knew our dog was being cared for by someone who genuinely had her best interests at heart. Allie has set an exceptionally high bar for every future sitter and dog walker we use. I honestly can’t imagine many people responding to this situation the way she did. We trust her completely and will always be grateful for everything she did for our family.
This was our second time booking with Renee. She took great care of Bert while my boyfriend and I were out of town for a wedding. She clearly loves dogs and treats Bert so well. He was very happy to see her again. Not only did she take good care of Bert she also tidied up the house before departing.
