“Barbara was professional and communicative in all of our interactions and during her four-night stay at our place. She sent photos of the pets every day and updates on how they were doing. We came home to a clean home and happy animals who were clearly well cared for while we were away. We would absolutely hire Barbara again and recommend her to others who want top-quality care for their dogs and cats while they are traveling. Thank you!”
“Johnny is amazing! He took such great care of my baby and made me feel so secure. He gave me regular updates on how she was doing, sent pictures and videos, and was so responsive and kind. And my dog LOVED him.”
“Lucinda took great care of our home and pets while we were away on vacation. She was prompt in responding to our texts and sent plenty of updates and photos. We will book with Lucinda again!”

“Alex was a wonderful house and pet sitter for my dog and cat! She was top notch! Took care of everything, sent us cute photos of them while we were away, took our older dog on walks, to dog park and even did laundry before she left. We would definitely call on Alex again next time we are away. We enjoyed having her and I hope she enjoyed our home and silly animals. :)”

“Our first time using Rover was excellent and working with Ethan was the cherry on top! Communications were prompt in coordinating the care of our dogs in our home! We came back from our trip to see our dogs happy and calm. Ethan is a delightful. warm hearted person, plus a very dependable dog sitter. And our house was immaculate when we returned!”

Coming home to a happy dog and clean home was beyond appreciated. We would totally recommend using Madison and will definitely use her again?”
“Jessica house and dog sat for me for a long weekend. Not only did she take great care of my dog, she brought in the mail, cleaned all her dishes, and even stripped the guest bed before she left. Cannot recommend her enough”

“Lillie took care of our two Poms in our home for over two weeks and she was amazing. Took one of the dogs to a vet appt, send us photos and videos most days, and provided little anecdotes of the dog’s antics. She also kept our home spotlessly clean and even washed sheets and towels and made the bed she used during her stay. Surpassed our hug expectations. Lillie been a trusted Rover dog/sitter for us for years - the housesitting was a first for us and really worked out great. Lillie has our highest recommendation- 5 paws!!!”
“I’ve used Stephanie twice now and she was just as amazing the second time! I had a late flight home Sunday night, but she changed the sheets on the bed for me and made sure there was a light on and everything was set for me when I got back. The boys (dogs) always have a great time with her and sent pictures even though she knew I likely didn’t have service! We love her and will definitely continue booking!”
“Natalie is a terrific sitter. She kept in great communication, sending lots of photos with comments/summaries, appears to understand dog behavior and needs. I will definitely hire her again.”

“Shanalee came to sit for us during a tricky time as we were integrating a new kitten. After meeting her, I never had anything but the utmost confidence in her ability to handle things, but her care exceeded my expectations. Communication was great, house was left in wonderful condition, and it felt as though she truly enjoyed caring for our animals. Even going so far as mending our dog's favorite toy. 100% would recommend.”

Mackenzie is absolutely amazing! My cat Meeks has never let anyone other than me pick him up before, but he was comfortable with her right away and she was able to hold him within a few days. I got daily photos and updates and was able to really relax while I was away. When I got home, my house was spotless. I would absolutely recommend MacKenzie.
Madeline took care of my anxious, elderly dog and house sat while I was out of town for 4 days. As she's gotten on in years, I dread having to leave Zara to someone else, but I didn't feel an ounce of worry while Madeline cared for her. I could tell Zara was very well cared for and doted on. When we stopped by to pick up our house key when we got home, Zara actually greeted Madeline with more enthusiasm than she greeted us! Will absolutely reach out to her first if we ever have more travel come up!
Brennan was great! She sent pictures regularly, dealt with some doggie diarrhea like a champ and left my place very tidy. Will definitely book her in the future!
Kai, did a fine job with Toby. He kept me informed on Toby's status and took him to the park regularly and was aware of tobys boundaries on my property and addressed them accordingly i would recommend Kai to care for your pet and most likely will use him in the future
Sadie was very kind to Dash, communicative and left my house clean! I appreciated the daily set of photos and knowing he was safe. I’m lucky to have found someone who is responsible and kind with pets :)
Marceline is wonderful. Period. She house sat for us for 10 days along with our 15-year-old border collie Oscar. From the beginning, Marceline was extremely communicative and thoughtful, setting up a quick zoom meet up, and then shortly following up with an in person visit. She asked great questions, had a great attitude, and made us feel confident that she could take care of our pup and our house while we were away. We received lots of photos and messages outlining how the day had gone, which made us feel comfortable with her and how things were going throughout our time away. I would 100% recommend Marceline to anyone looking for pet care, as well as housesitting
Cat was wonderful with our two indoor cats. She played with them and let them curl up on her lap to their hearts' content. We received photos and updates every day. Cat was timely in responding to my texts. She's an excellent communicator. We felt very comfortable leaving our beloved kitties and home in Cat's care. Our house was clean upon our return and the kitties were happy. I would not hesitate to have Cat back again to care for our cats!
Sarah took great care of my dog Midna while pet sitting for a few days. Lots of walks, cuddles, and playtime. Glad to come home to happy, safe, relaxed dog :) Definitely recommend!
Amazing as always! Takes great care of our fur babe and the house. I hope to have Kat for all our pet sitting needs.
Ben was a great communicator before, during, and after our visit. He watched Penny over the fourth of july and the fireworks were stressful for our dog. He handled it really well and was checking in with us to help manage her stress. Would definitely book again!
5 stars as always! Ceci is our absolute favorite and takes such good care of Bowie. I also love the updates and photos she sends of my happy guy while I’m gone!
Baraka loved Snickerdoodke and she loved him. He acted very responsibly and informed us when she had a minor health problem. She was a bit challenging since she is so attached to us, but he established a very good relationship with her.
What a great experience. Audrey was so thoughtful and thorough on getting to know us and our house before she stayed. She sent very thoughtful updates with pictures and videos. Best of all, we came home to a clean house and happy dogs. We will 100% be inviting her back.
Scott was communicative and provided great care for our pups! He came and met the dogs ahead of time, which was really nice. He was very easy going throughout the whole process. Thank you!
Hannah has always been an incredible walker, and finally had an opportunity to utilize her pet sitting skills too! She was responsive, quick to reach out for clarification, and followed directions to a T. She sent me daily pictures which always eases my anxiety when leaving my pup behind! She was flexible and took my dog around with her during the day, which was so nice as it allowed my dog to have more one on one time, adventures, and overall attention.
Ann took wonderful care of my 3 crew over the 4th of July weekend, a holiday that can be very stressful for them. I came home to 3 happy campers and a tidy home. She also provided daily updates and adorable pictures to keep my mind at ease. :)
Lillie took care of our two Poms in our home for over two weeks and she was amazing. Took one of the dogs to a vet appt, send us photos and videos most days, and provided little anecdotes of the dog’s antics. She also kept our home spotlessly clean and even washed sheets and towels and made the bed she used during her stay. Surpassed our hug expectations. Lillie been a trusted Rover dog/sitter for us for years - the housesitting was a first for us and really worked out great. Lillie has our highest recommendation- 5 paws!!!
Shannon was great with our dog! This was a week long house sitting trip. We got multiple photos and updates per day without needing to ask. Shannon also left the house very clean which was great to come back to. We would definitely book Shannon again!
Michelle was very attentive and helpful while we were away. I would definitely recommend her to other people looking for a solid person for home-stay!
Jessica did a great job watching our two dogs and house sitting while we were gone for five days. I really appreciated that she sent me photo updates at least twice a day so I didn't have to wonder how the dogs were doing. She also was very responsive when I texted about packages arriving or anything else. We came home to a clean house and happy dogs. I would definitely recommend her.
