“Barbara was so attentive to our home and our baby Spaghettio. She stayed with our pup while we went on a week long international trip. During her stay she paid extra close attention to detail and followed our dog’s care routine with amazing precision! When we returned, our home was even cleaner than we left it which felt so nice after travel. Barbara even made us amazing cookies as a welcome home gift!”

“As always Darlene is wonderful with the dogs. Even though is was only 1 overnight, she still kept us updated with pictures and kept the dogs very busy even when it rained by playing games with them in the house.”

“Wow! Sonja was great at following routines (and she asks great questions!). Fennel was cared for and we received a daily photo and update. Sonja is detailed. She has such great energy. Our entire home was truly cared for. Thank you, Sonja!”

“If you are looking for someone to take amazing care of your dog (or other pet) and house while you are out of town, look no further. I truly couldn’t be happier with Kirby, she took great care of our high-energy Aussie Oliver while we were out of town for 4 days. He had lots of playtime and walks and we came home to a very happy dog with absolutely no anxiety. Kirby was very easy to communicate with before we left about Oliver’s routine and the instructions for the house. She was also a great communicator while we were gone, sending us photos and updates on how they were doing but not too much. Because of Kirby’s great care and attentiveness we were really able to enjoy our trip without having to worry at all. Kirby also took great care of our house, it was spotless when we arrived back at home. There is not a single thing I would ask her to change in the future. I highly, highly recommend Kirby and will certainly be booking her again!”

“Ethan was so helpful with my kitties! They took great care of my two cats and my home. In addition, my senior cat has special needs for both food and medicine administration and Ethan was really helpful in that as well.”
“Valeriya was a fantastic pet and home sitter! She is exceptionally adaptive, reliable, and very tidy. I highly recommend her services and will definitely be booking with her again!”

“Ursula was great! She kept us updated and sent pictures of our fur babies while we were gone. She cleaned the apartment before she left and took great care of it. She was reliable and punctual. We didn’t worry about our little buddies at all during our trip knowing she was taking care of them!”

“Amanda cared for my two dogs, Otis and Maddie, along with my six chickens while I was away on vacation — and she did an outstanding job! My animals absolutely loved her! The dogs can be a little skeptical of strangers, but they warmed up to her immediately, which speaks volumes to how she has a natural way with animals. Everyone was well cared for, and I came home to happy pets and a tidy house. During the stay, Otis injured his paw and she took excellent care of him — tending to his wound, keeping me updated every step of the way, and even working with my emergency contact in case things escalated. By the time I returned home, his paw was completely healed, like it never happened. Her communication was thorough, thoughtful, and reassuring. I felt totally at ease knowing my pets were in good hands. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a responsible, caring, and attentive pet sitter! Thank you again, Amanda!”

“Shannon was great with our 5-month-old Border Collie puppies for a 3-day house/dog sit. They are a handful, and both dogs and house were in great shape, upon our return. Shannon is punctual and a solid communicator. Highly recommended.”

“Chardonay and Ben are officially added to my list of dependable house and dog sitters! They took care of my two dogs, Fernando and Dolly, at my house while I was away for 4 days and I could not be more pleased. First and foremost, both the dogs were obviously well cared for and I received photo updates. From the get-go, Nando and Dolly took to Chardonay and Ben right away, and I felt reassured and could tell they were at ease with caring for dogs. Second, the house and yard were in immaculate condition when I returned. Seriously, spotless. Third, they are just super nice and great communicators both off- and online. Highly recommended!!!”

“Meagan was great! It was a last minute booking during a holiday week and she just jumped right in. Poppy was feeling pretty spirited and Meagan was able to calm her down, get a harness on her. , and take her for a walk. Also, great communication!”

“Cody was exceptional in calming our nervous pups last night as we were out to dinner while visiting our son who lives here in Portland. We had arrived at our hotel only hours before we left them. Cody is an excellent communicator and was prompt and very thorough with questions about special needs and specific care for our two golden. We highly recommend Cory for your pet(s).”

“Lucinda is responsive, trustworthy, and flexible. She has stayed overnight at our home with our dog and cat, and she’s wonderful with them. I’ve had difficulty on occasion with the Rover app and Lucinda went out of her way to contact Rover herself and help me. She goes above and beyond! I highly recommend Lucinda.”

“Renee took such good care of our little old man. We came home to a clean home and a calm pup. She was professional and provided great communication throughout. Thank you Renee!”

“Kayla was a wonderful sitter for our cats while we were away. She was very good about communicating while we were away and our cats were very happy with her. Would be very happy to have her take care of them again!”


“Clark took excellent care of my two dogs and communicated well throughout the entire process of booking and the stay itself. Thank you Clark, hope you’ll come back and see Daisy and Ziggy.”

“Santy took such great care of my dog and apartment while I was away, and was able to do so very last minute! Super responsive, responsible and easygoing. She also understands reactivity and was able to work with my anxious cattle dog very well. Highly recommend!”

“Imani is a fantastic sitter! She was extremely attentive to all three of my pets (two dogs and a cat) while she was house sitting, and sent frequent updates with pictures and videos. She has a very calm presence and asks a lot of specific questions to understand the dynamics prior to sitting. I would highly recommend :)”

“Courtney was the sweetest sitter for my 2yo dachshund! She kept in good communication, sent very cute photos every day, took my pup on walks and left our home all tidied up at the end of her stay. I couldn’t be happier to have found her and definitely plan to book with her again for housesitting!”

Buckman pet parents share their Rover experiences
Scott was perfect for our recovering reactive dog. His calm confidence is just was Sprocket needs to feel safe. Scott has just the right combination of playful and boss. Also, he’s an extremely reliable individual, who we felt very comfortable leaving our house and dog to for an extended period of time.

Darlene was a treasure and I’m so glad she was able to take care of Peanut! She made me feel reassured as I was anxious to leave her and took excellent care of Peanut (her love of dogs is so apparent) even taking her in day trips to the beach! I’d highly recommend Darlene for any care needs!
Emily has now cared for my two golden retrievers many times while I am traveling. She is always perfect - she is loving to the dogs (I come home to very happy girls), a great communicator, and leaves the house in perfect condition. I feel so lucky to have found Emily. I feel completely secure when she is taking care of my beloved dogs.

Barbara was an exemplary sitter from start to finish. She helped us out after a last-minute cancellation by a friend, only days before our trip was scheduled to start. She gave us plenty of updates and was insightful and proactive with any small issues our puppy was experiencing, and it was really clear that our puppy was in great hands. I could not recommend her enough - she was as professional as we could have hoped for - and more. Thanks to Barbara these new puppy parents were able to completely enjoy our vacation with peace of mind - a truly wonderful New Years gift!

Natalie was a wonderful and considerate dog/cat/house sitter. Our old dog had a lot of anxiety when our family was gone over the holidays. It was the first time he had a sitter from Rover. He really gave Natalie a hard time, and his hip dysplasia took a turn. Natalie was so caring and great at communicating and coming up with ideas to help him take his meds. She gave us a lot of piece of mind while we were gone.

Jaycen did a great job watching my dog Lola, who can sometimes be a handful. I received daily updates & pictures. Also the house was very clean when I got home, even the trash was taken out & dishwasher run. I will definitely book Jaycen again when traveling.

Elizabeth spent 10 days at our house with our two dogs. She was fantastic in every respect. Lots of communication and pictures. She was obviously great with our pups (they told us as much when we got home) and the house was cleaner than we left it. Highly recommend.

Kyle was great. I was in a bind as I was out of the country and my sitter was allergic to my dogs. I had to find someone to go meet the sitter and my dogs and make the transition without me being around. He showed up on time, communicated well, and gave the girls the attention they needed. When I got home they were happy and healthy which is really all that matters.
