“Oli helped us out on really short notice and took fantastic care of our pup. It was such a relief to know our girl was getting love and attention while we were away. Thank you, Oli!”



“Emily is terrific. She did such a great job watching our pup. Our dog experiences pretty bad separation anxiety and typically doesn’t eat all his meals when we are away - but with Emily he did! She was absolutely wonderful and we will most definitely be reaching out to her again!! She sent us pictures daily, kept the house tidy and was simply great to have. Thanks again Emily for the great experience!”


“Anna was wonderful! She has such a calm demeanor which helped our anxious pup. She adhered to our schedule and our home was in wonderful shape!”


“Danielle was amazing. She sent a ton of photos and kept me updated throughout the stay. My dogs loved snuggling with her and were so happy and well cared for. Will definitely use her again!”



“Melanie was a tremendous choice for housesitting and petsitting! She was communicative, professional, and attentive. I never once worried that my babies weren't getting the care they deserve! HIGHLY recommend!!!!”


“I recently hired Kyle as a house and dogsitter, and I couldn't be more impressed with his service. From the moment he stepped into my home, I felt at ease knowing my house and beloved pets were in capable hands. Not only did he maintain the cleanliness and security of my home, but he also went above and beyond in caring for my furry companions. He followed all instructions meticulously, ensuring my pets' routines were maintained and that they received plenty of love and attention. Kyle demonstrated exceptional responsibility and reliability throughout his stay, and I returned to find my house in impeccable condition and my pets happy and healthy. I highly recommend Kyle for anyone in need of a trustworthy and caring house and dogsitter. His professionalism and genuine love for animals truly set him apart.”


“Katherine was a wonderful house guest and she took great care of my dog! She checked in twice a day and sent me pics of what my dog was up to. I will definitely be booking with her again.”

“Aidan was great! I left my anxious hound dog, Dean, in his care over a long weekend. He was very responsive, and proactive about sending updates with adorable pictures. Dean does not warm up to everyone, but was so sad when Aidan left and was stuck with me again. I'll be using him again in the future.”


“Rachel was fantastic with our pets!! She sent numerous pics and was always extremely communicative of her schedule. We’ll definitely be using her again!”


“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Kenza was absolutely amazing! From the very beginning, they were incredibly communicative and professional, making sure I felt at ease while I was away. What really stood out, though, was how loving and attentive they were to my girls—you can tell Kenza genuinely cares about the pets they look after. I came home to happy, relaxed pups and couldn’t be more grateful. Highly recommend and will definitely be booking again! 🐾💕”

“Elizabeth is so kind and very accommodating for my pup! She did a fantastic job caring for her and followed all my instructions. Highly recommend!”


“Booking Nancy to watch our two greyhounds was the best decision ever made!!! She was very communicative and took great care of both of our girls. Our oldest is almost 12 and has some mobility difficulties, but Nancy made us feel right at ease that she was going to be well cared for. We loved getting a few updates a day on what our girls were up to and took all the stress away from our trip out of town.”


“Caitlin did a fantastic job taking care of my 2 dogs. She kept them entertained and kept us updated on how they were doing with pictures. Highly recommend and will be using her again for our next out of town adventures”


“Robbi is great! She’s very responsive and was flexible in a last minute adjustment to the date/time I need her to watch my pup. She would occasionally check in and send photos of my puppy letting me know everything is going well. Definitely will be using her in the future!”


“We had Jasmine look after our dog and cat for a long holiday weekend. She was attentive, communicated well before and during the stay, and that allowed us to enjoy our time away without worrying about our fur babies at home. I recommend her to other animal owners and will be using her again.”


“Morgan was awesome with our dog when we went out of town for 5 days. She checked on him and spent time with him at least 3 times a day and sent updates with photos. She was very quick to respond whenever I messaged her. Would definitely trust her to watch my pup again! :)”


“My home and animals were clearly very loved and well cared for. Steven updated regularly with pictures and stories about walks. Left everything clean - animals are happy and healthy - so I’m happy!! Would trust Steven again. Thank you! ? Pix, Ed, Momo, & Thor!”


“Violet was great with our dogs. They can be a bit high maintenance and she took that on with grace and understanding. Would highly recommend Violet and will be using her again!”

Brookland Park pet parents share their Rover experiences
Savannah took great care of our cat and angsty dog while we were away! Our house too. She was on top of communication and dog walking, and went above and beyond providing k9 emotional support during a thunderstorm. Would definitely recommend and we look forward to booking her again!

Brianna was great! My dog loved her and and a good time. She was also really great with checking in with me.

Maria watched my dog for a weekend and she was wonderful! Took great care of my home and my sweet girl. Would totally recommend!

Lila was amazing! So communicative with me and very attentive with George! Would recommend 10/10, wish I needed a dogsitter more tbh

We had Alexis stay with our dog for five nights. She was communicative and flexible and clean. But I must tell you that... I'm half tempted to tell you that you was horrible. Terrible. This way no one will book her and I can always book her and she won't won't be tied up with other people lol.

Vivian was great! This was my first time with a Rover sitter while out of the country and couldn't have asked for a better sitter. She even offered to check in on Mushu in case my flight got delayed. Vivian also has a cat with feline herpes so I felt at ease knowing she knew how to handle his needs and meds.

Great and easy experience with Allison taking care of our dog and staying at our house. Maddie was very well taken care of and everything was so clean and neat when we returned!! Loved the pictures we got while we were away, too!!

Haley was absolutely amazing. She kept me updated on my babies the entire time she was there with pics and messages. She took care of my home as though it was hers. I would absolutely recommend Haley to anyone who wants peace of mind when leaving your babies when having to travel. Thank you Haley!!

Daniel is always so kind and courteous. His communication is always so reassuring to know our animals are in great hands!

Erica took excellent care of our pets while we were out of town. She was very communicative and send plenty of photos and updates. I would recommend her and would happily hire her again.

Steph was amazing with our pup Bella! She stepped in on very short notice and stayed with Bella all weekend, which we truly appreciated. Throughout her stay, Steph kept us updated with regular messages and adorable photos, which gave us so much peace of mind. We came home to a happy (and wonderfully tired!) puppy — no easy task with Bella’s energy! Thank you, Steph, for taking such great care of her. We’re looking forward to having you watch Bella again soon!

We love having Amber stay with Ruby! Ruby loves her so much, and Ruby doesn’t love many people! We always know she’s in great hands when we leave her at home with Amber. Will continually rebook!

Jordyn was great! She was available super last minute July4th weekend. We set up a meet and greet same day and I was able to show her the routine for my pup and she followed it to a tee. She gave me consistent updates and communication regarding my pup! I felt super comfortable with her caring for him and he loved her. She also was super respectful of my place. I highly recommend her!

Madi watched my dachshund puppy while I was away and was great! She sent tons of picture updates during the week and kept me updated on how he was. Definitely will have her come hang with Theo again in in the future!

Clark took great care of our angsty hound (who was a big fan) and cat whole house sitting. She was communicative and very accommodating when our travel times changed. Would highly recommend!

Kaitlyn was great! Very kind and helpful with our doggos and took care of our home when pet sitting. Great communication and an awesome sitter! Would recommend and will certainly ask her to help out again.

Rose took great care of our dog and cat for several days while we were away. She keeps in regular contact and we love getting updates and pictures! The house was clean and in order when we got back to two happy pets. We are so grateful for all she does to make sure our pets are loved and cared for when we are away.

Abbey was great with Sophie! Abbey house-sat Soph and Sophie seemed to enjoy herself! I enjoyed the peace of mind of receiving a mid-booking photo of Sophie enjoying her walk. Thanks Abbey!

Mo was awesome, she sent updates and pictures of our pup while we were gone. She left the house just as she found it.

Jamie was absolutely awesome with Marley!!! She took him on long walks, played with him and fed him!! She sent me some pictures of him as well!! It was so good to see that Marley was so happy with her!! I also received a page long summary of the weekend!! Marley has some hot spots and she gave me some suggestions on how to help with them!!! She definitely went over and beyond!! also got texts each day to let me know how things were going!! I couldn’t ask for a better dog sitter!! I definitely recommend her!! I will use her in the future!! I am so very glad I found her!! 🐶❤️
