“Samantha was wonderful! Very communicative and took notes when first meeting our animals. Left our house in lovely condition and was very respectful! Our animals were well cared for when we got back. Even our shy cat came out to say hello and get pets!”
“I couldn’t be happier with the care my pets, 2 large-breed dogs and our cat, received from Courtney. From the moment we met, I knew they were in great hands. Courtney is not only professional but also incredibly caring and attentive. It’s clear that Courtney genuinely loves animals and goes above and beyond to make sure they are well taken care of. I came home to a happy, healthy, and relaxed pets. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for top-notch pet care. I will definitely be booking again in the future! Thank you, Courtney, for treating Guinness, Luca and Sefi like family!”
“Amelia was fantastic. We will 100% be booking with her again. She took great care of our baby while we were away and took amazing care of the house. The house was cleaner than when we left it. She took pics daily and gave us a daily report. We are so lucky we found Amelia to watch our Willow. Thank you so much, Amelia!”
“Nyree was an amazing sitter for my little guy! She made me and my pup feel so comfortable and confident about the stay. I was gone for a week in Europe and Nyree sent me daily videos and pictures. Not only was my dog happy and healthy when I got home but she left the condo immaculate! Definitely will be using Nyree again - she’s a 12/10!!!”

“Shykala agreed to watch my dog at my home on short notice while I was away for the weekend. She went out of her way to accommodate my schedule in order to do a meet and greet with my dog, who is anxious around new people. While I was away, she sent multiple updates, photos, and maps showing the routes she walked with my dog. When I returned from my trip, my home was just as I had left it and shykala had taken the trouble to strip the bedsheets and take out the trash. I will definitely be asking her to watch my fur baby again!”
“Adrienne is an excellent dog sitter, I'm glad I hired her for this past weekend at my place. I was even gone a little past what I quoted for time frame and she was incredibly understanding!! Chance warmed up to her right away which is always a great sign - and I felt at ease when I was gone. Will definitely hire her again!”

“If I could give 6 out of 5 stars, I would! Autumn took such wonderful care of our dog, plants, fish and house. We got detailed updates throughout the week and never had to worry about how our dog was doing while we were away. Outstanding.”
“Kaitlin was great with our girls. She communicated with us while we were gone, sending pictures and updates. It’s a great feeling knowing that someone trustworthy is staying in your home taking care of your fur babies. Will definitely book with her again for our dog sitting needs.”
“They say do what you love and the rest will follow. Well, it's clear that Marykay loves what she does because she's very good at it. She definitely loves cats. She took good care of my house as well. She even left me a gift for when I got home. I would definitely request her services again. It was nice to be on vacation and not have to worry about what was happening at home.”

Central pet parents share their Rover experiences
Rachel is a wonderful dog sitter! Our dog, Teddy, is a rescue that has always had a hard time trusting other humans but Rachel won him over and now they are besties! He is also getting to be an older guy and she was so gentle and caring with him. We really hope she will be available to watch Teddy when we go out of town again. We are so happy to have found her!
5 stars! Adam was fantastic with my dogs while I was away. I came home to happy, well-cared-for pups and a tidy house. He was responsive and kept me in the loop with clear, friendly communication throughout his stay. Super reliable and easy to work with—would absolutely book him again and highly recommend to anyone looking for a trustworthy sitter. Thanks, Adam!
Second time booking Malka for dog sitting and it was just as great as the first. She provided timely updates, walked and spent time with my dog, and left my home just as clean as it was when she arrived. We will continue to book with her! She does such a great job :)
Tiffany was amazing and I am so happy we hired her for our 2-week trip. She was curious and had great questions, she was open and communicated with us often with photos, videos and updates on how our two cats were doing. Our shy cat did so well with her! I plan to rebook with her for our next get-away so that our kitties feel loved and well taken care of while we are gone. It is such a relief to hire someone who pampers our pets as much as we do. Thanks so much!!!
Rachel did a great job with our fur-babies. She was incredibly communicative and very sweet with our girls. Our puppy got sick half-way through and she cleaned up her many messes in stride. We were grateful to have Rachel caring for our animals and it kept us at ease while we were on vacation.
Brittney did a great job. Our puppy got sick and she took extra care to support him--reaching out to our vet, and prepping his bland diet. We loved the videos Brittney shared (she has some awesome soccer skills!) and we came back to our house just as we left it. We were in a remote area for our trip and couldn't do a lot of communicating, Brittney worked with our constraints and was a good communicator! Our puppy is not a great leash walker and she supported his exercise and engagement needs with dog parks and swimming (which he loves). We super appreciated that!
