“Megan was the best whole caring for our 3 animals. We have a high anxiety dog and she was able to make him feel at ease and relaxed while we were away. She was communicative, sending pictures and updates and answered any questions we had.”
“Ryen was great! Loved the communication and I felt like I could really trust that my pets were being well taken care of - there really is nothing better than that kind of peace of mind.”
“Michael was great! For my dog, Klaus, it was love at first sight. When he met Michael he started trying to do zoomies in the hallway of my apartment building! Michael contacted me the day before he was going to take care of Klaus to ask some pertinent questions. I really appreciate it when someone is so professional and shows good communication skills. I could tell that Michael had read over Klaus' profile and that he wanted to make sure to follow my instructions to a tee. He sent me some adorable pictures of my pup while they were taking a walk He was very gracious when I returned home a little late. I could tell that Klaus really enjoyed his time with his new buddy, Michael! I would not hesitate to call on his again. Thank you, Michael! Klaus says hi!”
“Always the best, goes above & beyond. My elderly cat wasn’t feeling well, and she not only took him to the vet, picked him up, gave him his medicine, PLUS purchased some addl items to help him recover. The absolute best, can’t recommend her highly enough. ❤️❤️❤️”
“Lisa was fantastic! We booked an overnight stay for a week for our three cats and they all loved her, even the shy one who hides from strangers. She was responsive and took some adorable pictures of them. Our cats were very well cared for and we would absolutely book with her again.”
“Chloe was super sweet with our babies when we were abroad, keeping them well accompanied, fed, and cared for. Sent photos and updates upon request and left house as she found it. Would book again!”
“Misao is amazing, my pups really took to her and were extremely well taken care of while we were out of town for our son’s wedding. She communicated frequently and sent to us a lot of pictures, letting us know what was going on with the dogs and our home. I will definitely be booking with her again!”
“Destiny was very attentive to Luna’s needs and kept her company while I was gone. I received plenty of photos and updates which made me feel at ease. I would absolutely book with Destiny again!”
“Yvette was amazing with our pups! She was also able to accommodate our booking on such a short notice, and we were very thankful. She left our house clean. She sent lots of pictures while we were gone to let us know our pets were happy and comfortable! We would recommend Yvette to other pet parents and will be using her again ourselves! Thanks again for keeping our girls!”
“I booked Jaden for a last minuet weekend house sitting. Her and her boyfriend are a super cute couple and I felt instantly safe letting stay in my house and watching my babies. There were no issues and I would definitely book them again!”
“Shania is the best pet sitter! She takes such wonderful care of my baby. Very reliable. Good communication. Very caring. Definitely will ask her to house sit for me again.”
“Holly watched our pup and our home for an extended house sitting stay. She was very respectful and kept the home tidy as well as kept our dog company. We’ve used Holly for several months and will continue to do so in the future! Thanks again Holly!”
“Andrea is amazing! She went above and beyond taking care of our pups and home. She took them on walks, spent quality time with them, kept us very well updated and even cleaned up our house. We and the pups will be excited to have her back for our next trip!”
“Brooklyn was our first Rover experience, she did a meet and greet in advance with our house and pets. A month later, Brooklyn bonded with our brood during the first day, sent lots of pictures and updates during our trip. She was very thorough with her caretaking and left our home exactly as she found it. I would highly recommend Brooklyn for cats and dogs (oh and she fed the hummingbirds for us too)!”
“Minh was a great sitter for my two dogs. She was an excellent communicator and provided great updates during the stay. She was very detailed and thoughtful with her care of the dogs and our home. We would definitely use Minh again.”
“Always a great experience having Paul housesit while I’m away! I come home to a clean house and happy animals!! That’s the best feeling, being able to go away and not worry about my pets.”
Central pet parents share their Rover experiences
Megan was amazing! She stepped in and took over the care of my cats when another sitter did not show up. She made sure they were taken care of and received all the love. She even made sure my place was clean for me when I came home. She is very communicative and sent lots of photos of the cats.
Payton was great. We had to schedule only a couple of days ahead of time and she was willing to accommodate us and came out next evening for a meet & greet with our menagerie. The dogs took to her instantly - which is not common for our husky in particular. Everything went well the day of her stay with our pets and everyone was happy. We’d happily recommend Payton!
I highly recommend Alexandria for all your pet sitting needs. She was absolutely amazing and made our trip stress free for many reasons. Upon meeting our dogs for the first time you could tell she was an animal person, completely comfortable getting on their level and letting them sniff it out for a bit. One of our dogs is very nervous around new people but he was even warmed up to her wagging his tail by the end of her visit. Things felt really good to move forward. She arrived promptly every time we had scheduled and had great communication from the start. The updates we got were warm, caring and fun! She included pictures and was great about any special requests we made. She made a point to keep our house very clean and even washed the sheets before leaving. We found our house exactly how we left it and some very happy dogs upon returning. Truly a game changer to have someone like her to be part of our team with travel planning. We are so grateful she was available for us.
I'm so grateful to have found Lisa. She is wonderful with our fairly particular and needy dog. She took excellent care of her and was super flexible on my last minute request. She worked closely with me to make sure our dog wasn't alone for too long and gave great updates to keep me assured our pup was doing well while we were gone. She also helped me at the last minute with a dog walk when I was unable to do it! I love seeing how much my dog likes her! ❤️
Megan is great! She is reliable, communicative and great with our dogs, who are spoiled babies with their own set of quirks. She has been helping us with dog walking for the past few months and we recently used her for an overnight stay. I was a little nervous because my dogs are kind of pushy little divas, but everything went great and they were very well taken care of. Thanks again Megan!
