“Joseph did a great job with taking care of Bosco and the house. He was very responsive when I reached out to see how things were going; and he notified me when he thought I might have a concern about Bosco. He took great care of the condo and left it very neat. Great job!”

“I would give 100 stars, if I could! It was my first time leaving my puppies, and Ishmell was soooo wonderful! He stayed at my house over night, took care of all 3 dogs, and was a great house guest! So happy I found him, and can't wait to use him again!”

“Ebony was so kind and helpful throughout my dog baby's visit. She sent me tons of photos and updates while she had my baby. Baby(my dog) was well taken care of threwout her stay with Ebony. I'm so grateful for her, as she took my booking last minute since I had an unexpected family emergency come up. I will definitely use Ebony again in the future seeing as how amazingly she took care of what I consider a family member to me.”

“We were so lucky to have Mickey take care of our Sofie. He went above and beyond, especially with handling an unexpected neighborhood blackout. It is rare to find someone so professional and compassionate. Would hands down recommend to anyone.”


“Our dog received excellent care from Madi for an overnight house sitting. Madi communicated regularly and provided several updates and pictures. Our home was kept clean. Most of all, our dog seemed to have a fun and comfortable experience. We would highly recommend Madi!”

“Palace was amazing! Took very good care of the dogs, kept in touch with messages and photos while I was away, and I came back to happy dogs and a clean home. Would absolutely book with her again in the future!”

“Alexis was amazing and the best pet sitter I’ve ever had! She went above and beyond to make sure my kitties were well taken care of, and they loved her! Can’t recommend Alexis enough!”
“Keith was very responsive and available to come to our home to meet Abbot before our trip. When we left for our trip, he arrived at our home on time, let me know he was here, and sent pics of the dogs. He maintained regular communication and pictures even though we were only gone two days. He was schedule was accomodating if we ran into weather issues, which luckily we did not. He let me know when he left the house and it was in the exact same condition as when we left. We were comfortable having him our home and will use him again on our next trip.”

“Aspen was fantastic with the animals, frequent check-ins and so respectful of our home. We'd be delighted to have Aspen back for a future trip”

“Kristen did a fantastic job with our two dogs while we were out of town for 5 days! She was very responsive to communication the entire time. We didn’t return to any accidents or messes we had to clean up which for us is a blessing as one of our dogs tends to have some potty issues when we are gone for an extended period. Usually our dogs are super excited to see us when we return- this time I think they were disappointed to see us and not to see Kristen!! Would definitely rebook ☺️”


“I felt at ease having Cece taking care of my dog for a few days while we were away. I got daily photos and updates and I could tell my dog was happy and comfortable with her. It was a wonderful, worry-free experience and I would love to have Cece back in the future.”

“Mont’e was absolutely amazing! He provided excellent care for my cat and dog while house sitting. I was pretty nervous to leave town and Mont’e was super kind and professional. He updated me regularly, took my dog on walks, and even took her to his family’s Christmas Eve celebration (after asking of course) because I was worried about her having separation anxiety! Mont’e treated my pets as if they were his own and when I came back they were both super calm and relaxed because of the great care provided. Mont’e was also super respectful of my home and left it very neat and tidy! Highly recommend Mont’e for all pet sitting needs, I’ll definitely be asking him to come back!”

“Danielle was truly heaven sent while we were on our honeymoon. Our dog has special needs and she handled everything like a pro! Our pup even had some tummy troubles while she was there and she went absolutely above and beyond to take care of him until we could get back. We are so grateful to have found Danielle and we will absolutely book with her again!”

Central pet parents share their Rover experiences
Carla was fantastic! I felt really at ease knowing she was with my dog Kiwi when I had a last minute request. She was super communicative and I really appreciate how much TLC Kiwi got while I was gone, and loved the pictures! 10/10 experience would absolutely recommend.

Lydia did an excellent job! She communicated well, sent us lots of pictures, and asked all kinds of questions to ensure she was providing the best care possible. We appreciated her flexibility, friendliness, and holistic care for our pup. Glad to have her back in the future!

Aashna is the perfect sitter for my 4 year old Pom Gus. She’s very punctual , and I can tell from the pictures she sent that Gus was comfortable and happy around her. She followed his care instructions really well and communicated regularly. I would 100% use her again and I highly recommend her.

Georgia did a great job watching our pup while we were traveling for the week. She kept her fed and happy, and even helped with last minute medications. She was very clear and consistent in communication and made it so we never doubted the standard of care our dog was receiving.

Spencer was wonderful with dog Honey. We think she had a great time. When we got home, she was looking for Spencer everywhere. Haha. If you are looking for someone that will care and show your dog lots of love, Spencer is the guy to hire. This was our first time using Rover and we were not disappointed. We will definitely hire Spencer again.
