“Victoria did a great job with Freya (who can be very shy and anxious with new people). She kept me updated with pics and texts throughout the session. I would definitely trust her to watch Freya again!”
“Anastasia is a regular dog walker for us and recently stayed with our pup while we were away for the weekend. Our dog is clearly very comfortable with her and she always does a great job caring for him and paying attention to Ira’s need and idiosyncracies!”
“Meaghan did a phenomenal job with in home sitting over a weekend away! She was very punctual, professional, and did a great job with communication and sending updates. Would be happy to have her watch our dog again!”
“Soli was awesome and we will absolutely be requesting her services again. She was kind/friendly, treated our home like her own, and most importantly she was great with our dog. I got regular updates from Soli that gave me peace of mind and confidence that Murray was in good hands. I highly recommend Soli for dog sitting!”
“Angie did a fantastic job watching Lady. She is very prompt with all communication. she was accommodating when we hit curveballs like not having parking for her car and when I was delayed on my return trip. she treats your dog like her own and sends lotssss of pictures . I also felt really comfortable having her in my apartment. She’s a girls girl and very respectful, she left the place spotless! Will work with her again!”
“Emily was amazing with our dog Teddy! Her communication was great from the start and she was punctual and kind. She sent multiple photos and quickly put our minds at ease. We are so happy we have found a trustworthy sitter in the neighborhood and can’t wait to have her watch him again!”
“It was such a wonderful experience having Vanessa watch Mochi at our house for us! We knew from the first moment at the meet-and-greet that Mochi would be well taken care of and we came home to a very happy pup. Vanessa took her out for walks as requested, sent us great photo updates, and cuddled with her while we were gone. Mochi was genuinely sad when we got home because Vanessa had to leave, and I think that says a lot about their bond! We will definitely ask Vanessa to house sit for us again!”
“Wen was a great communicator, respectful of our home, and sent us many updates with photos. We could tell our cat and dog had a good time and were well taken care of. Thank you, Wen!”
“Sevtap was great with my cat Louie. She watched him while I was out of town for a few days and I asked her to send me regular photo updates so I could see how Louie was doing and she did so. My apartment was clean and Louie was happy when I got home! Would definitely recommend her!”
“Carla was wonderful. She did everything in her power to make sure Misha was comfortable, which is no small feat with a teething puppy! She was very communicative and kind. Definitely can recommend her!”
“Emily was INCREDIBLE with my dog Mabel while I was gone for a weekend for a wedding. She stayed in my home, took such good care of my dog and my house, was so prompt with updates & pics, and then went above and beyond and left me a super detailed note about their time together & how much she loved her!! Truly haven’t had a dog sitter make me feel so comfortable leaving my girl with someone (crazy dog mom, hi!). Will 10/10 rebook Emily ◡̈”
“Megan was very quick to respond to any questions or requests, kept us updated on our little buddy's wellbeing and seem to have taken a very good care of him :) thank you Megan!”
“I am so grateful for Elise's patience and understanding given the particular challenges Pedrito has. My dog can be very reactive and territorial and has a hard time with new people. We arranged to meet before she I went away and it was clear her demeanor (so calm, and patient and kind) is a perfect match for my little nugget. I very much recommend Elise for dog sitting. She was prepared and asked about any medications, or special needs Pedrito may have. Luckily he does not, but it's clear she was on top of his schedule and made sure he got his carrots and greenies like normal when I'm here. Having a reactive dog can be tough, and I do my best to set him up for success. Thanks Elise for bearing with all the detailed instructions and the one time he growled at you for daring to enter the apartment! He was so happy when I returned and I'm so glad we found Elise on here!”
“Shane watched our elderly English Bulldog for two weeks and was great. He was very responsive and made sure our dog had everything she needed. I would highly recommend Shane if you’re looking for someone to watch you dog.”
“We worked with Paul for the first time when we needed someone to housesit for our two corgis for 9 days. He was wonderful to work with from the time we booked him; he was the first to reach out to coordinate and confirm visits and was always on time. Paul took a lot of time to ask really thoughtful questions about the dogs' needs, their routine, and even took the dogs on a practice walk before our trip to familiarize himself with them and the neighborhood. We also really appreciated that he does not book multiple clients at a time (e.g. a drop-in client while housesitting), and being fully remote, he dedicated 100% of his time to our dogs and home. He sent daily updates with photos and videos, and answered any questions we had while we were away immediately. Our house was in great shape, he had laundered and cleaned everything before leaving, and the dogs were happy and healthy when we returned home. I would work with Paul again without hesitation and highly recommend him for anyone who is looking for a trustworthy and reliable caretaker for their pet and home.”
“Lauren was so wonderful with Mimi while I was away. It's such a relief knowing she was safe, happy, and well-cared for. Lauren kept me up to date with pics and notes and left the house spotless! Thank you, Lauren! Mimi loves you!🙂”
“Heaven was wonderful and accommodating with our somewhat anxious kitty. She gave us detailed updates to soothe our separation anxiety, too :). We couldn’t be happier with the care she provided!”
“Paige was so great with my dog, Louie! She sent pictures throughout the weekend and kept me up to date on their various outings. I’d recommend Paige to anyone wanting a responsible sitter for their animals!”
“Arshneel did an excellent job house sitting my dog! She is flexible, a wonderful communicator, and followed all of my instructions. She also kept my house pristine! Would highly recommend her and hope to use her services again!”

Central pet parents share their Rover experiences
Anyi housesat our dog and 3 cats for a week and she took great care of them! She gave them plenty of enrichment and sent me daily photos and updates. She is a fast communicator and did a great job following our care instructions! Our house was in perfect condition and our pets were happy and healthy when we returned home. We will definitely be reaching out to Anyi first whenever we go out of town next!
I am very particular about who I’ll leave my dogs with. I have a strong pittie mix who also needs meds 3x a day and Lauren was wonderful! She sent pictures every day and was extremely communicative. She’s truly just a text away. She was flexible with start and end times which was great! She also left my apt perfectly clean even running the dishwasher before she left. Would definitely recommend her!
Kate was amazing with our dogs. We were gone for 2 weeks and Kate was always messaging letting us know about our dogs. There were a few unexpected accidents in the house that she handled and modified their meals till they felt better. I will definitely reach out to Kate again to care for our dogs!
Emily was absolutely the best pet + house sitter we have EVER had. Not only was she fantastic with loving our 5 cats + doggo, but she was able to ensure they received their medications, had clean litter boxes, followed their special diets, and respected our space 100000%. She sent us so many photos throughout the week & it was clear that they all loved her back. We are so grateful for her & you would be losing out by not booking her!
Connie was amazing, stayed over for 6 days while we went on a trip, it was our first time on Rover and she really made it super easy and stress free. Sent plenty of picture updates and was very communicative! Will 100% be reaching out again next time we go out of town!
