“James was amazing! He took amazing care of our tiny dachshund and senior hound who have such different needs (as well as our house) while we were gone for 9 days. He sent wonderful updates and pics each day. Will absolutely book again!”
“When we read Danielle's profile we knew she was the perfect match for our older dog. Danielle was always quick to reply, great with our dog, sent lots of pictures throughout, and kept us informed about how our dog was doing. We also appreciated that Danielle was willing to schedule some meet ups before our booking to get to know our dog, and let our dog get to know her. We booked Danielle to stay overnight, and our house was exactly as we left it. We cannot say enough good things about Danielle, except that we will definitely book her again in the future”
“Mary took fantastic care of our two dogs for 8 days - she sent pictures and updates often, and was quick to respond to any messages we sent her way. We would be happy to have her petsit again in the future!”
“Tessa was awesome! Our pets had a great time, she was consistent with communication and left us completely unburdened regarding our furry family while on vacation! Would 1000% recommend Tessa to anyone in need of a hand with your pets!”
“Madelyn did a fantastic job taking care of my two dogs, two cats, and house during a recent overnight trip, and I can recommend her without reservation. It was my first time using Rover so I wasn't quite sure what to expect, but Madelyn made it super easy. She is responsible, enthusiastic, and communicative, and it's clear she loves animals. And judging from the pics she sent, the animals had a wonderful time!”
“Fantastic sitter for my pup. Maggie stayed with my dog in my house and she took great care of my dog and home. Great communication and an overall excellent experience. Highly recommended!”
“Jordan went above and beyond as a dogsitter at our house! She was so great with communication, we did not have to worry about anything. We returned to our house even cleaner than how we left it. I would recommend Jordan to anyone, and I definitely hope she is available next time we need a sitter!!”
“Star did a fabulous job housesitting and caring for my cat and 2 dogs, one of whom is super timid and requires lots of time and patience to earn her trust. The pets were all happy and relaxed when I returned, and my home was clean and tidy. Star is professional, great at communicating, and is flexible and accommodating too. I highly recommend her if you want peace of mind that your pets and home will be in the best hands while you're away.”
“Amanda was a wonderful sitter for our doodle Henry. He loved having her and she really took great care of him. He had walks and playtime and she sent frequent pictures showing us how much fun Henry was having. I was completely at ease knowing she was at our house with him. She also left the house impeccable. We highly recommend her!!!”
“This was our first time working with Jonathan as our pet/house sitter and it was a great experience. We were grateful that he was willing to stop by a second time before our trip so we could have the peace of mind that our dog would recognize him and be comfortable. He also sent us updates and pics every couple days and the house was just as clean as we left it. Couldn’t ask for more!”
“Christian was amazing! My dog loved her and she sent so many updates of pictures amd videos. Even cleaned the house before she left. I've already booked her again.”
“Dakota, this review is written also as my gratitude. Thank you again for all your time and attention to my dogs for such a very long time (12 days!). They were content and happy when I got back. And the house was spotless! (You didn’t have to clean up!) I felt safe leaving them with you and deeply appreciated your daily updates and photos. I hope you and Spam would be willing to help us out again in the future 😊!!”
“Was nothing short of amazing. From the meet and greet to entire time Lettie was house sitting, she was attentive and thorough. Gave updates along the way and made the entire experience so stress free. Best experience with Rover yet!”
“Mackenzie was wonderful! She was so kind and considerate of our pets needs and communicated with us often so we never worried a bit about our fur babies back home. Thank you Mackenzie!!”
“Hannah is the best House Sitter/dog sitter that we’ve had in a very long time! The dogs took to her right away. She gave us regular updates with pictures, which was fun, but she also left the house in a wonderful clean state, including some welcome home things! I cannot recommend her highly enough. Hannah is a professional.”
“Lilian was wonderful for my last minute house sitting request! She was quick to respond, sent lots of updates, and so responsible. My dog Pearl was in great hands! I would certainly book again.”
“Jessica was so patient with my anxious pup and kept me updated throughout the sitting! Left the house nice and tidy as well. Would highly recommend her to other pet parents!”
“We could not be happier with our experience having Samantha as a house sitter - she went above and beyond! She shared multiple updates with pictures each day, left the house spotless, and even took our young pup for trail walks which she loves. We wouldn't hesitate to book her again or recommend her to other pet parents looking for a house sitter!”
“Kris was wonderful - I came back to happy healthy pups and a clean well-cared for home I would highly recommend Kris and wouldnt hesitate to have her house sit with my dogs when I go away next time Very caring and considerate - took out my trash and brought in my mail too!”

Danielle was wonderful! Sent me regular check-in texts and photos of my pups who really took to her. My dogs have very different needs (one very old, and one very young!) and she did great with both of them. Also left my house spotless with overnight care! Thank you so much, Danielle!!
Lizzy is great!!! She has watched our three precocious Frenchies twice now. They can be a handful but Lizzy knows how to keep them in line. Lizzy will be dog-sitting the three for almost a month!! Definitely recommend Lizzy if you are looking for a reliable and conscientious dog-sitter!
Lauren was super responsible and great at communicating. When we came home our dog was so well groomed and cared for, and the house was in perfect shape. The spaces our two cats eat, drink and use the litter box were also immaculately clean and tidy. We highly recommend Lauren!
Christian is the most wonderful sitter ever! Our senior dog decided this was the time to get super picky about food, and Christian was so patient and made sure to find something she would eat and enjoy. Christian is so loving and kind. I feel lucky to have found her!
Emily could not have done a better job! With her I knew my high energy 1 year old pup and chatty cat were in great hands. She sent me pictures / videos while we're were out of town and blurbs about their day periodically! Knowing our pets were well taken care of and in our own home meant so much to us.
