Yasmin went above and beyond and took my kitten Sir Snuggles to the vet when he was not feeling well (with my approval) when I was on travel abroad. She even got the vet on the phone at the appointment to talk to me. She was fantastic - and Snuggs is all better now thanks to her help.

Good communication. Willingness to do a meet and greet and house sit on short notice was a life saver. Rachel and family seem to really love pets and get to know their personalities. Our animals were all happy when we came home.

Jessica was great! We were out of town 4 nights, and then our flight got delayed and she was able to adjust her schedule to stay a 5th night to take care of our dog. She sent photos and updates at least twice a day and I felt better knowing I had someone here at our house to care for our dog (instead of boarding him). Our dog has some anxiety and allergy issues and she took care of all his meds and gave him lots of love and cuddles. She also washed all the bedding, towels and took the trash out (which she didn't need to do but did it anyhow). Highly recommend! Thanks again, Jessica.

Great communication and daily photos/videos. This was our first time leaving our dog, so she didn't eat for the first day we were gone. We collaborated on some problem solving, and she decided she could eat again with the help of some peanut butter. House was well cared for, as well.

We left for a full week. I was really nervous to leave my 2 dogs and cat with a “stranger” but Allison provided us with a visit before our trip to make sure that we felt comfortable with her as well as the puppies. The day we left she show up on time as scheduled and she make me feel really good before we left assuring me that everything will be okay. Every day she send me pictures of my puppies and she gave me constant updates. My dogs absolutely love her, and even the cat that really doesn’t like anybody, warm up to her. If you are looking on someone reliable and loving to take care of your best friends I should absolutely recommend Allison.

We had a pretty last minute trip come up and our usual sitter (my best friend) was unavailable. Victoria helped us out a ton with accepting my request and she went above and beyond caring for my pets. We have two large dogs and three active orange cats who are used to having someone home 24/7 so I hired her for house-sitting service. She took the dogs on multiple walks, brought in packages for me, and kept me extremely updated with pictures. I could not have asked for a better first experience on rover and would highly recommend Victoria to anyone! We sadly had to cut our trip short but the animals will be excited for us to go on another, and I feel happy knowing they will be taken great care of.

Sophia took excellent care of Tiffany while I was out of town for a few days. I keep rebooking her because when I come home, Tiffany is happy and stress free. Sophia follows the instructions I leave for Tiffany’s medicine and routine perfectly and I know I can trust her with Tiffany and my home.

Travis was exceptionally quick to respond and very attentive to my three dogs. Two of my dogs can be hyper and he never once seemed put off by their behaviors. I got photo updates from him without having to ask and he was on time to get to my house before we left out of state. If we needed a sitter again, we’d definitely book with Travis.

Megan was a huge blessing to us! She came over prior to our trip to meet us, go over our house rules, and meet the dogs (German Shepherd and Pointer/Hound). While we were gone she sent daily updates with their activities and photos. They consistently looked happy and healthy. When we returned the house was clean and tidy, and the dogs were happy as could be. We will defintely be asking Megan to house/dog sit in the future!

Katlin was so considerate with us and our two doggies. She house sat for us while we were out of town. We've got a puppy, Peach and a 5 year old, Zelda. Peach is definitely a handful and Zelda requires meds daily. Katlin did a fantastic job of handling everything they threw at her. Peach ended up having stomach problems and Katlin took care of everything beautifully. We came home and the house was absolutely spotless and I know our dogs can make quite the mess. To top it all off, our construction contractor decided last minute that they were going to start on the exterior of our house and Katlin was extremely accommodating even though there was a dump trailer in the driveway and I'm sure lots of noise the last few days of her stay. I would definitely recommend Katlin to anyone, your doggies will without a doubt be well taken care of and your house will look like nobody had been there.

Sam was our house sitter taking care of our Golden Retriever Frankie while we were on vacation. Frankie had a great time with Sam and we had great comfort during our vacation knowing that Sam was taking care of him. We'll definitely reach out to her again the next time we need house sitting for Frankie. Thanks Sam!

I so much appreciate the care Adrianna offered my dogs! I have two high energy dogs & the younger one is still very puppy. He is a challenge & we are still in the depths of training with him. She met all of his challenges with grace, patience, and creativity! Adrianna's communication was above par & meaningful to me & my family. I always have such a hard time leaving my wild crew. Thank you, Adrianna, for all your hard work. You're the best!

Lydia is outstanding. Our senior dog can often get anxious when we are away, but he was visibly calm and relaxed with Lydia. She gave us frequent updates and kept us well informed. And while he was very happy to have us home it wasn't the manic greeting we have experienced before, it was clear he was well cared for and experienced a calm and relaxing environment while we were away.

Our dog Pickles takes some time to warm up to strangers. Jessica took the time to work with our dog twice before we left on vacation. We were confident they would be fine and were not disappointed. When we missed our connecting flight Jessica made an extra visit to let her out. That was a big help.

Abby did a great job of keeping us informed regarding our dogs. Everyday we received pictures and a verbal update. We are grateful for Abby and will definitely ask her to care for our dogs during our next trip. Thank you Abby, we appreciate you!
