“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.

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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! 🐾💕”

Byrd Park pet parents share their Rover experiences
Excellent caretaker for Roxy. We went to Aruba on vacation and Cindy stayed at our house. She was thoughtful and did a meet and greet a week prior to our vacation. Roxy loves her. She kept in contact with us throughout the trip. She noticed that Roxy had a chronic cough and notified us. She took her to the vet and Roxy was treated with medications. Cindy was able to give her the medicines and keep her safe and comfortable. She also washed our towels and cleaned the kitchen. She is a pure joy and we are grateful for Cindy. Definitely, more than 5 stars!
One word to describe Christine and that is AWESOME. She took care of my 4 month old puppy for my first time leaving her and she nailed it. She kept me updated with the cutest photos and I could tell right away she was loving and caring for my little girl. She even helped with training as we are in a puppy class. I will use Christine in all my future pet sitting needs as long as she is available, as I hope she always is for me.
Kali is my go-to dog sitter. She always does great with my little Morty Mouse whether its boarding or in-home sitting. She is reliable, communicative, and a true animal lover. Morty knows her by name and always feel safe and loved when we go out of town. Hire Kali and your pets will be loved just like youre at home
Emma was great!! We felt really comfortable leaving Leo with her. She sent tons of updates and pictures and also took great care of our house (she even washed our bed sheets for us!). We came back and Leo seemed really happy and healthy. I recommend her 100%! Thanks Emma!!
Emily did an incredible job taking care of our dog Pepper! She was happy to assist us with a last minute house sitting request when the family members who were originally going to watch our dog had to cancel for a personal matter. Even prior to being formally booked, Emily was quick to respond and receptive to the specific needs of our dog. We were able to set up a meet-and-greet between Emily and Pepper a few days before the house sitting, and it was clear that Emily was the right choice - our dog can be hesitant around new people, but she quickly warmed up her new friend. On the day of our departure, Emily arrived early enough for us to hand over our house keys safely and within 5 minutes of us being out the door we had our first update that Pepper was happily cuddling with Emily on our couch. On the following days, Emily provided regular picture & text updates about how our dog was doing and it was clear the two of them were getting along great. We couldn't be happier - thank you!
Rose did an amazing job watching our dog and cat while we were away for a week. It’s such a relief to know how well taken care of they are so we could relax on vacation! Rose is an excellent communicator and sent regular updates and pictures. The pets were very happy and the house looked great upon our return! We are repeat customers and would definitely work with Rose again.
We had another great experience working with Egon! They did a wonderful job taking care of our grumpy old cat and two kittens :) We knew the kitties and our house were in good hands, and we came home to a tidy house and happy cats. We'll definitely be asking Egon to housesit for us again!
Catherine provided excellent care for my dog! She was proactive and consistent with updates, and she made my vacation super easy by staying at my house while I was out of town. It was so evident my dog loved spending time with Catherine. Couldn't have asked for a better experience.
