“Miglė did such a wonderful job caring for our animals. They looked so happy in every picture she sent. We would definitely recommend Miglė to care for your pets!”
“Jenna was wonderful! She took great care of our 16-year-old Beagle. I think we were all a bit nervous being first time clients and Rover users. But we couldn't have been happier and more at ease. Jenna was professional, kind and responsive. We definitely will book again.”
“We’re so happy we found Elizabeth! Both our dog and our cat trusted her right away, and when we came back from our trip, they were both calm and relaxed. It gave us so much peace of mind to know they had company while we were away. She stayed at our home, everything was great with the house too, and we absolutely recommend her 🙌🏻”
“Nikoleta was WONDERFUL! We absolutely will be using her again. This was our first time using Rover and she made it so painless. She loved our animals and knowing they had company and care while we were gone gave us peace of mind. 10/10”
“Cheryl K was a wonderful sitter of my dog and my house. I will trust her again in the future and highly recommend her to anyone in need. She is professional and attentive. She was respectful of my house, leaving it clean and neat and a dog clearly calm and happy. Thank you Cheryl. See you again”
“Jared came through for us when a previous Rover sitter bailed less than a week before our scheduled vacation which we had been planning for a year. He came over for a meet and greet within a day or two of contact. The pups really seemed to like him. We booked him and he showed up which was a great relief after being let down several times before from Rover sitters. We left him detailed instructions and our contact info if there were any problems or questions. He sent us a pic of the dogs when he arrived for the first day and was communicative throughout the stay. He took great care of the pups and was very respectful of our home. Would definitely recommend him to anyone who is in need of a reliable sitter. We will use his services again.”
“This was our first time using Rover for our new dog. Everything was very professional and the app was easy to use. Chloe was great and gave us daily updates and photos during our time away. We will definitely use her again!”
“Miranda stayed at our home for three days and took great care of our Maltipoo. Communication was easy, and we came home to a happy dog and a spotless house. Would definitely book again”

“We had a fantastic experience with Ian! This was our first time having someone stay in our home with Wally, so we were understandably a bit nervous. But Ian immediately put us at ease… and more importantly, Wally too. Ian was super communicative throughout the stay. He sent plenty of updates and pictures, which reassured us that Wally was in good hands. We really appreciated that Ian asked questions and sought clarity when needed, rather than making assumptions. We quickly came to trust Ian and are grateful for the care he provided. We’ll absolutely be booking him again!”
“Sadie was so good with baby and knife! She made sure they got plenty of exercise and snuggles. She is super communicative! Will definitely be rebooking!”
“Monty provided wonderful care for Jello while I was out of the country. They were super responsive when I checked in and sent photos most days, which I really appreciated. They were also great about adapting to my 15 month old’s puppy energy and zoomies, which is no easy feat. Would absolutely book with Monty again.”

“Shelby was great! I was a little worried leaving my dog for a week because he usually stays with family/friends. Shelby sent me daily updates and pictures which made me much more at ease and I could enjoy my trip. He got daily walks/activities when it was extra rainy. She was very responsive and stayed in touch when I thought my flight would be delayed, she was available to continue watching him if needed. I would 100% leave him with Shelby again.”
“Prompt responses on all communication. Pets were well cared for, house was taken care of, had no worries for our entire trip.”
“Highly recommend Martha! This was my first time leaving my pup with someone I didn’t know, and she put all my worries to bed after the meet and greet. Sent daily pictures and messages, so I knew my dog was having a nice time :) Very attentive to the details I laid out and responsive to any questions or concerns I had throughout the entire experience and left my house just like it was when she arrived. I would book her again and would easily recommend her to anyone else!”
“Absolutely thrilled with David as our dog sitter! He went above and beyond in every way- accommodating two back-to-back, last-minute requests without hesitation. From the start, he was professional, respectful of our home, and left everything spotless. Our pup was in the best hands- he sent daily photo updates, took her on regular walks, and made sure she felt loved and cared for while we were away. David is trustworthy, reliable, and truly a perfect house guest. We would 100% book him again and recommend him to all our family and friends without hesitation!”
“Kept my kitties and dog happy and comfortable. Gave medicine to our sick brand new kitten. Came home to her looking much better! She took care of our house, followed instructions for the alarm and made us feel very comfortable while we were away.”

Bayou Saint John pet parents share their Rover experiences
We have 2 anxious and reactive dogs and have been nervous about having anyone watch them. Migle was so good with them and kept us updated regularly to ease our anxiety about leaving them. Can not say enough good things!
Monty provided wonderful care for Jello while I was out of the country. They were super responsive when I checked in and sent photos most days, which I really appreciated. They were also great about adapting to my 15 month old’s puppy energy and zoomies, which is no easy feat. Would absolutely book with Monty again.
Sonjia went above and beyond to make sure my senior cat and our home were well taken care of. We really appreciated her care and attention!
Shelby is great! This is the 2nd time she's watched my dog and she's great at updating me every day. The pictures she sends looks like they are having a blast!
As much as we dislike leaving our pets (including two seniors with special needs) and home, we’re grateful they’re all in great hands with Joel. We appreciate the regular updates and him going above and beyond to take such good care of everyone while we’re gone. Will happily reach out to Joel for future pet-sitting needs!
Laura is a shining star from above that has graced us with her lovely presence to tend to our 20 year old pup’s needs. We breathe a serene sigh of relief knowing Laura will be in our home attending to our dogs wants/needs. She is very delicate towards our pup and treats our home with the utmost care. After getting to know her, we feel like she is a dear friend. We rely on her to take care of our number one dog in our lives. She is just stellar.
Heather was an absolutely amazing sitter for our cat Lizzie. Lizzie has not had many sitters and she usually takes a while to warm up to new people but she was cuddling immediately because Heather has great energy and takes such good care of your pet. She's kind and caring, made sure to update us at every step along the way, took great pictures, and really showed our girl the kind of love and attention that all pets need when you're away! Everything was super easy and we would HIGHLY recommend Heather.
Wonderful dog/house sitter. Very trustworthy. Great communication. Will definitely use Elizabeth again. Our dog loves her.
Alaina is such a great cat sitter! There was a storm while I was away and I had minimal phone/ internet to get in touch. I was very stressed about it but Alaina handled the emergency so well, took my cat to her house and he was doing great when I got back.
Cody went above and beyond caring for my rabbit. She sent many pictures twice a day during the drop in visits and it helped me feel at ease while being away on a 10 day trip. I sent her long instructions and she followed them perfectly. There are not many sitters I have trusted with my pets, but she genuinely cares for animals and is 100% reliable, safe, and respectful.
Chloe did a fantastic job with our cat and dog! She treated our home with so much respect, sent us countless pics and updates, and made us feel relaxed knowing our babies were in good hands. Would definitely have her back!
Another great stay from Ryan! My big ole dog Clyde can be a handful as a young puppy but Ryan does great with him. Spent time in backyard as well as getting him a solid walk. Will definitely use Ryan again.
Cheryl is simply the best dog sitter I’ve ever had. She is so loving and gentle with my dog. She is beyond trustworthy and always kept me updated on how everything was going with pictures and texts. I finally was able to stay present on a business trip knowing she was there caring for my dog! She did a wonderful job once again. I will always use her to watch my dog!
E was fantastic. I got pictures and updates daily and I know my Honey Bunny was very well taken care of. My house was exactly how I left it and I will be hiring E again for my next trip!
Madelyne did a wonderful job of caring for our home and cats. She went above and beyond the call of duty by taking extra measures to save some of our newly planted flowers. She also washed and folded the sheets and towels we used, something we very much appreciate. Thank you, Madelyne, for doing such a great job!
Leslie was great! Communicated quickly and sent photos of the pups. We have the not-so-easiest elder dog and she kept up with his meds and clean up. We recommend and will ask for her again. Thank you, Leslie!
My girls could have not been in better hands. It was as if I was here taking care of them my self. She sent pics and updates thru out the day. Made traveling easy knowing my babies were taken extremely well care of. 10 out of 10
Marybeth is truly awesome! She was fantastic at communicating—always sending me the most adorable pictures and keeping me constantly updated. I came home to a spotless house, and I could tell my sweet Charlie absolutely loved her. Couldn’t recommend her more!
Martha took fantastic care of our furry daughter and our home. She responded quickly to all texts and sent daily photos of our girl. Martha is a caring and reliable dog/ house sitter.
Xander was an amazing sitter for my dog and cat while I was away for a week by providing prompt and regular communications and lots of sweet photos and updatesI felt completely at ease knowing my fur babies were being taken so well taken care of. I look forward to working with you again! Thank you!
