2. Pamela N.

“Pam did a great job staying at my house with my 4-yr-old miniature poodle while I was away. I could tell when I got back that he had a really fun time with her, and he had been super well cared for. She sent lots of adorable photos, too. I would definitely hire her again!”


3. Erin H.

“Erin is amazing! She went above and beyond and you can tell just loves animals! I am so happy I found someone who I feel loves my dog as much as I do. I would 11/10 recommend her if you need an amazing sitter to watch your fur baby!”

6. Sarah M.
“Sarah has been a great sitter for Sunny who suffers from diabetes and requires insulin injections. We haven’t had any issues with her. We fully trust her to stay at our house and take care of my senior pet. Keep up the good work Sarah!”


7. Raakhee S.

“Raakhee was amazing with our pups. She took great care of them, made sure they had a lot of outside time and took them for walks. She provided detailed daily updates and sent lots of photos which was greatly appreciated. We have a senior dog that requires medicine twice daily and she made sure that he took it. She also took great care of our home and went above and beyond. We would definitely recommend Raakhee!”


8. Evelyn B.
“Eve has watched my dog on several occasions and has been such wonderful sitter for my senior dachshund. She is very patient with him and treats him as her own. She has communicated and asked questions when necessary. She is also always willing to accommodate my dog’s needs. I’m lucky to be able to depend on her!”


9. Mya G.

“Mya house sat for us over the holidays and was the perfect caretaker of the house and the 2 dogs. She sent lots of photos, communicated promptly and left the house in great condition. Our mini-Dachshund is a bit of a handful, but she did great with her. And, our suspicious older Corgi even warmed up to her. Thank you, Mya!”


10. Julia N.

“Julia was fantastic! She took great care of our two dogs and two cats for a week - no small feat considering our beagles have separation anxiety and other behavioral issues. Julia has a warm, calm energy and the dogs took to her right away. She’s a great communicator and sent text updates and pics every day. We had complete peace of mind for the entire week.”


11. Aly S.

“Aly watched our old doggo for 10 days in our home. I never had a sitter stay that long and we were going out of the country. Aly was really kind and caring with our pet and a great communicator with us. She even took him to the vet when she suspected he was unwell. I will definitely hire her again!”


12. Liudmyla H.

“She exceeded my expectations. She was very careful and affectionate with my cat, and throughout the time, I received videos and photos in which the kitty looked very comfortable and happy. It is clear that she loves animals and knows exactly how to take care of them and make them feel comfortable and safe. She is very organized and responsible. In my case, she took care of my pet for eight consecutive days, and when I arrived, everything was perfect. I highly recommend her 100%.”


13. Mansa A.

“Mansa took great care of our pup and our home. She kept in touch while we were gone (sending along pics and updates), and we came back to a happy pup!”


14. Kiera W.

“Kiera was amazing! She was able to help us out with a last minute dog sitting, and our Piña warmed up to her so quickly! She sent us pictures of Piña throughout her time dog sitting, which was awesome. We will definitely be rebooking with Kiera 💓”


15. Karly S.

“Karly was incredibly communicative and attentive to my little Bear over a last minute weekend away. She took great care of him and kept me updated with pictures and updates all weekend. I felt comforted by her watching him all weekend to enjoy the time away— will definitely be booking Karly again!”


16. Zoe F.


“I can’t say enough good things about Zoe! Bailey - who is a great judge of character - like her so much he even slept in the bed with her! Without asking she brought in our recycling and trash bins in addition to bringing our packages indoors - truly going above and. Highly recommend her if you want a trustworthy, loving sitter!”


17. Shereen i.


“I’ve had three other dog sitters from rover before, and they’ve all been truly amazing. Shereen, however, was the best sitter I’ve ever had and it’s not even close. Our rescue dog is incredibly challenging, high energy, strong, petrified of strangers, and reactive; but Shereen won her heart over, took amazing care of her, handled everything our dog threw at her, sent amazing pictures and updates, knew exactly what to do, and even managed to train her in being less leash reactive! Thank you Shereen for being so amazing! If you can hire Shereen, do it!”


18. Lindsey W.

“Lindsey was amazing over a full weeklong stay with my crazy band of pets. She provided excellent care for my two big velcro dogs with anxiety and two cats (one of which requires a daily pill and additional care). Great, regular communication with pictures and left the pets and house in better shape than when we left! Would definitely recommend.”




19. Amber H.


“Bandit gets so excited when I tell him Amber is watching him! Amber is very respectful and considerate when staying in my home. She sends updates on Bandit and recently helped me accommodate his food sensitivity. Highly recommend!!”


20. Leonardo O.

“Leonardo was amazing. He was house sitting our home and took care of our dog sol and she was super happy and healthy. He sent us pictures and even video called us during our trip. Excellent communication and very neat and tidy. He treats your dog like his own and will go out of his way to make sure you are comfortable. Will definitely have him as a sitter again. 100% recommend!!”
