“Pam did a great job staying at my house with my 4-yr-old miniature poodle while I was away. I could tell when I got back that he had a really fun time with her, and he had been super well cared for. She sent lots of adorable photos, too. I would definitely hire her again!”

“Nicole was fantastic! She was organized, communicative, and clearly took great care of our dog while housesitting for several days. It's easy to see why she's a Star Sitter. We'll definitely hire her again in the future.”

“We had Kylee stay at our house to take care of our two puppies on the weekend. She is very conscientious in her duties and responded to an issue by asking the on call vet for advice. We were extremely happy with her care.”


“First background I left my 14 year old bossy quirky pup at home in Amina’ care. As a 14 year old Jude has a few medical issues but is still fairly healthy but does require a couple of meds daily as well as special diet. Amina did an incredible job in caring for Jude. Truly he looked better than when I left him😊! She daily provided updates and pictures. When she had a question, she was quick to ask! I would not hesitate to have her pup sit again. Definitely removed my stress in leaving Jude for a week!!”

“Brianna treated my dogs like they were her own. I was able to relax and enjoy my vacation with no worries. In fact, I think the dogs were a little disappointed when she left and I came home.”

“Annie was great with our boy, and he was so relaxed with her. She was so wonderful to come at the last minute when our other sitter had a family emergency and she was very patient when it took us a little while to get home.”

“Shereen is simply fantastic. She’s been walking our senior girl for a few months now, but this was the first time we’ve had her pup-sit. She sent regular updates and amazing photos and it was clear how well both pups were being cared for. I’m pretty sure our dogs don’t want us to come home. 😉”
“She's amazing. Very punctual and professional. Got along great with my dog, and took excellent care of my pet and my living space (including some cleaning!) 10/10 couldn't recommend more strongly.”

“Anna is truly amazing! She would pick up on my kittie habits and communicate with me very promptly when she feels there may be an issue - no matter how small or big. I really appreciated her attention to detail. Overall, Anna's communication is so timely, clear, and thoughtful. And I think that's a strength like none other. My cats also loved her, I don't think they even missed me. I normally feel bad asking the sitters to send me pictures because personally I think it could be a tad bit annoying, but Anna would send me pics when they are being particularly cute or show me how my cats are cuddling with her non-stop! TL;DR, I am traveling for a wedding next weekend, and I already reached out to her to see if she could help me again. I hope Anna can be my kitties' loving and caring aunt forever! Please don't move from NYC!”

“Christina was incredibly responsive and showed our dogs lots of love while we were gone. One of our dogs doesn’t usually eat when we leave but Christina made her feel so comfortable that she ate all her meals. We received updates regularly while gone in addition to Christina making sure our home was taken care of. Highly recommend using Christina!”
“Juan was ABSOUTLEY amazing! He went above and beyond to make sure my nephew Apollo’s was comfortable and loved. He also went even further resetting the whole house (cleaning dishes, comforter, etc.)! When ever Apollo is in VA I will always make sure I check if Juan is available first before looking for other sitters. Juan’s communication was also stellar! Sending pictures and constant contact which helped my anxiety tremendously. He followed my provided guide with flying colors and when Apollo got a little sick helped him back to perfect stool! Thank you so much Juan we really appreciate your care for animals and your attention to detail!”

“Elizabeth was absolutely fantastic. She communicated regularly and sent pictures often. She also went above and beyond cleaning up which was a nice surprise after a week of business travel. I would highly recommend her and will be reaching out again.”

“Jena was great with our dog, she came a day before we left for our vacation to do a walk through and meet our pup. She asked plenty of questions and was very attentive to our dog’s routine and needs. We felt very comfortable that he was in good hands. While we were away, she sent daily updates and it was clear in the pictures and videos that she was taking great care of our boy. We will be using Jena again and would absolutely recommend her. She will take great care of your dog!”

“Claudia was extremely generous with her time on short notice to watch my high-energy pup. She was extremely communicative, and went above and beyond to check in with updates and activities. I came home to a very content dog! Book with confidence.”

“Maggie house sat for us during our long weekend and everything went great! Our dog was well taken care of and the house was clean when we got back. Thanks again for everything!”

“Jessica did a great job taking care of my GSD, Auggie. She was very communicative, my place was cleaner than I left it which is going above and beyond, and most importantly, my dog was happy and well taken care of. I will definitely be reaching out again next time I'm out of town.”

“This was our first time using Rover. We came to DC for a graduation and Naval commissioning and needed a dog sitter for a full day. Zoe replied and the rest was history. Her online communication was awesome. We did a meet and greet and which and immediately felt comfortable leaving Dolly (American Staffordshire Terrier/Pittie) with her. Zoe arrived on time and we left. Zoe sent pictures during the day and gave us a status report. When we arrived back at our hotel, they were both snuggled on the couch. To sum it up, Zoe is totally reliable, very communicative and I am absolutely sure you will have no issues if you decide to let her watch your dog(s).”

Buckingham pet parents share their Rover experiences
Laura is wonderful! She saved us when our cat got sick before the holidays and needed someone to monitor her condition and administer her meds each morning. She took great care of our home and our two sweet kitties, and you can tell she really cares about all the animals she cares for, which made me feel so much better about being out of town with a sick pet. She sent daily updates and photos, and even fixed our sticky door! We'll definitely be contacting her next time we need a sitter!

Yiting is amazing and handled our three dogs with absolute perfection and amazing care. She went above and beyond with them. She send many daily photo updates and brought them cute collars as gifts. She took great care of our house as well and even managed a problem or two while we were away. We hope she’s available the next time we leave town.
