1. Mackenzie W.
“Great communication and daily photos/videos. This was our first time leaving our dog, so she didn't eat for the first day we were gone. We collaborated on some problem solving, and she decided she could eat again with the help of some peanut butter. House was well cared for, as well.”
2. Yasmin M.
“Great job by Yasmin. Cyrus the dog got to run in the yard and play tug, and Frank the cat was safely fed in the privacy of his bedroom. Well done and we appreciate Yasmin's pet care.”
3. Sarah P.
“Sarah is a favorite of ours! Our Barney boy absolutely loves her. She spoils him rotten and sends us lots of pix. I know when she's here I don't have to worry about a thing!”
4. Cory W.
“Cory was awesome. I will definitely book with him again. He was on time and kept in contact with me throughout the house sitting process. I had a bad experience with Rover before and he has certainly renewed my faith about the program. Thanks again Cory!!”
5. Allison G.
“Allison did a great job with our elderly, diabetic dog and our cat while we were away for a trip! Our animals were well cared for, and our house was taken care of for us while we were gone. Allison followed all of our instructions, and communicated well. We would definitely reach out to Allison for help again!”
6. Victoria B.
“Victoria went above and beyond for our girls! She kept the schedule she indicated, followed all of our (many) instructions and kept us informed of medical emergencies when needed. I would recommend her for any pet sitting!!”
7. Brenda E.
“Brenda was amazing with our boys! She also sent pictures so we could see them daily. She also took care of our fish and our house. Even changed the sheets! Definitely would book again. Thanks again Brenda!”
8. Molly B.
“This was my first time with Molly watching the boys. She was awesome! She sent so many pictures and videos which was great, I could tell that they were comfortable with her. She even let them sleep with her and hog the bed! I had several issues with my flights and she was more than willing to be on standby if I didn’t make it home on time. I’ll definitely use Molly again in the future 🌟”
9. Jessica D.
“Jessica was an amazing house sitter. The boys got spoiled with her and she was so loving to them. Hey miss her already. She was very prompt with communication. We plan on using her again in the future. Thank you Jessica!!”
10. Ky R.
“Ky is awesome!! Absolutely the nicest and you can tell how much she cares about animals. Super communicative and flexible, and takes plenty of adorable photos! 11/10 would book her again.”
11. Andrea M.
“Andrea stayed at our house and watched the sogs over a ling weekend. She gave us updates on the pets, was on time, met with us before she watched the dogs and asked great queations about their routines. I will for sure use her again if we need a dog or cat sitter.”
12. Nadine H.
“Nadine was absolutely professional, always sent me pictures and little notes about anything going on with my dog. Followed instructions to the letter.”
13. Jenna R.
“Jenna is a genuine joy. Her immensely warm demeanor and professional presence made us feel incredibly comfortable leaving our crew of silly misfits in her care during our first partnership with Rover. Responsible, respectful and a real pleasure to work only begins to describe her and her gift of service. We are truly blessed to consider her to be a member of our pack. Thank you for you, Jenna! 💜”
14. Nathan P.
“We loved having Nathan stay at our home! He sent us a lot of pictures and videos of our corgi Penny. We loved his communication & he was super flexible! Will definitely book him again.”
15. Summer M.
“Summer did an amazing job. This was our first experience with in-home care and it was really reassuring to know that Bama was getting good care. She noticed if there were any issues, worked with me when things came up, and, most importantly gave her love and attention when we weren't there. Her vet tech training gave me peace of mind since Bama is an older dog. She sent pics and videos, which I really appreciated. I would definitely use Summer again if the need arose. Thanks, Summer!”
16. Noah M.
“We hired Noah again! Such a respectful and caring sitter for our little girl. He stayed with her for a long weekend and we didn't worry at all about her well being. It's so nice to have someone you trust care for your pet while you're away! It allowed us to fully enjoy our trip! Highly recommend Noah!”
17. Madi B.
“Madi was fantastic! I will definitely be trusting them to watch our animals and our house again in the future. They went above and beyond in taking care of our animals and home. Thank you Madi!!”
18. Aurora A.
“Aurora was great with Lola! I would definitely use her again! I felt that Lola was in very knowledgeable hands!!”
19. Travis S.
“Travis was exceptionally quick to respond and very attentive to my three dogs. Two of my dogs can be hyper and he never once seemed put off by their behaviors. I got photo updates from him without having to ask and he was on time to get to my house before we left out of state. If we needed a sitter again, we’d definitely book with Travis.”
20. Javon L.
“Javon is simply the best! A true animal lover. Our dog has an anxiety but he is so comfortable with her. So glad we found her! You will be too.”
