Victoria did an amazing job taking care of my 3 dogs. Could not have asked for better care while I was away. She made a special trip back to my house to let them out again due to my flight not getting in until midnight. Appreciated her communication while I was gone.

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.

Great job by Yasmin. Cyrus the dog got to run in the yard and play tug, and Frank the cat was safely fed in the privacy of his bedroom. Well done and we appreciate Yasmin's pet care.

Jenna is a genuine joy. Her immensely warm demeanor and professional presence made us feel incredibly comfortable leaving our crew of silly misfits in her care during our first partnership with Rover. Responsible, respectful and a real pleasure to work only begins to describe her and her gift of service. We are truly blessed to consider her to be a member of our pack. Thank you for you, Jenna! 💜

Summer did an amazing job. This was our first experience with in-home care and it was really reassuring to know that Bama was getting good care. She noticed if there were any issues, worked with me when things came up, and, most importantly gave her love and attention when we weren't there. Her vet tech training gave me peace of mind since Bama is an older dog. She sent pics and videos, which I really appreciated. I would definitely use Summer again if the need arose. Thanks, Summer!

We would highly recommend Jess to anyone who needs a pet sitter. She was easy to communicate with. She sent us daily updates and pictures like we requested. She was respectful of our home and kept it nice and tidy. We didn't have any worries leaving town with her watching our house and dog. We met her prior to hiring her which put our minds at ease. She bonded with our dog and I would say my dog misses having her here. We will definitely hire her again the next time we leave town.

Sydney was so great with our two large dogs! Sydney was already working a full day interning for BPZ, but she modified her schedule so she could help us out. She was easy to work with and asked questions when needed. I believe she's very trustworthy and has a genuine love for animals. She sent several updates during the day (even a couple pics), which brightened my day and assured me the boys were in good hands. I would definitely have Sydney back, and would consider longer stays in the future. Thanks, Sydney!

Austyn has so far proven to be reliable on the first visit of house sitting! He stayed with my sweet girl the entire weekend I had to be away at work! He was kind and respectful to my home! He agreed to be my go to sitter and so I’ll leave more reviews as things progress. High-key, I feel that he’s a great fit for me and my doggo and really glad he will be our reoccurring sitter when he’s available! Im a poor college age kid too, but when I able to afford tipping him more, I feel he’s worth it! I feel at peace with him and didn’t feel the need to check in multiple times a day like with other sitters. He holds to his word and commitment to care for your doggo! :)

Sophia was great! She stayed with Tiffany while we Al were out of town for the holidays and when we got home Tiffany was so happy and calm. I’m always nervous leaving our senior girl with anyone, but Sophia sent us updates and pictures and made sure everything went smoothly.

I would recommend Nadia to anyone. She will take the time out of her day to make sure your dog is taken care of. She wouldn’t hesitate to take on the tasks you need and she communicates well. If you need a dog sitter, Nadia is the right one for you.
