“Gregory is absolutely great with my pup. Spent lots of time to give my boy cuddles, took him to his play group and reliable. I have rebooked him a couple times since he's been great.”

“James went over and above the call of duty!!! Not only did he save me from a horrible sitter but treated by dog like a queen!!! I can't thank Rover and James enough for saving my trip.”

“Christina was perfect with our 2 dogs for the week! She stayed overnight with them and took them for long walks daily. She sent constant updates throughout the week. Thanks so much for treating our pups (and house) like your own!”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter than Kathy! She took such great care of our dog, Rocky, visiting three times a day and keeping us updated with excellent communication. She even went above and beyond to handle some unexpected tummy issues with care and attention. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing Rocky was in such loving and capable hands. We highly recommend Kathy to anyone looking for a reliable and compassionate pet sitter!”

“Caitlin, was amazing with my shy pup, Finn, and my cat, Murph! Finn is usually scared of his own shadow, but she was so patient and gentle that he warmed up quickly. I loved all the photo updates — it gave me such peace of mind seeing both of them happy and relaxed. So grateful to have found someone who cares for them the way I do! Highly recommend!”

“Vivian worked with me! This was my first time using Rover, so I was glad to have someone that understood my concerns. We worked together to make it the best experience for Scarlet.”

“Sam was a wonderful sitter for both the house and my animals! She sent me constant updates with photos and just made me feel tremendously at ease! She really takes great pride in the job she does caring for our animals and appreciated that so much. Will definitely be booking her again and encourage anyone to do the same!”

“Krystal was an amazing house and cat sitter for us! She was available on short notice and during the Holidays which was such a relief! She was respectful of our home and more importantly took great care of our kitties and sent us periodic photos and updates! Great communication and a lovely person! Highly recommend Krystal!”

“Angela stayed at our house and watched our two dogs and two cats! Everyone was happy, fed and safe under her care. We would have Angela back to house sit and care for our babies again!”

Greg is an excellent pet sitter. He stayed in our home and took care of our two cats and senior dog for two weeks while we were out of the country. He was very professional, prompt, trustworthy and communicative. He works hard to make sure that the animals are comfortable with him. Have already signed up for a future booking with Greg. He is great!
James made our first Rover experience sooo easy and comfortable! Great communication, very considerate and friendly. We knew our girls were in good hands! James sent lots of *really* cute photos of the girls and gave us updates and check ins! My very anxious dog was so relaxed and calm with James! I didn’t worry for a second! Came home to a nice, calm, clean house. Very grateful for our experience and couldn’t recommend James more!

Caitlin, was amazing with my shy pup, Finn, and my cat, Murph! Finn is usually scared of his own shadow, but she was so patient and gentle that he warmed up quickly. I loved all the photo updates — it gave me such peace of mind seeing both of them happy and relaxed. So grateful to have found someone who cares for them the way I do! Highly recommend!

First time using Nikki who took care of our 2 Golden Retrievers . Both dogs were calm & relaxed but happy to see us when we returned. She kept them safe, fed, active & happy while we were away. They seemed to take to her very quickly at our intro visit so it made is easier for us to leave them. Our dogs are used to me being home all day so Nikki being available for frequent potty breaks, play time, meals & walks was great! Would recommend her care to others & would definitely use her again.

Alexis took fantastic care of our two dogs during her overnight stays!! We have one younger dog and one older dog who both have very different needs. She catered to each of their personalities, sent frequent updates, and cleaned up nicely after herself. I would definitely recommend her services and will likely book with her again!

Claire did a great job dog sitting our puppy. It was so comforting to know he was in good hands while we were on vacation. We got updates and pictures to put our minds at ease. When we returned he was relaxed and happy. It was a great feeling to know he was well taken care of in our absence. I would highly recommend Claire!!
