“Grace was everything I had hoped for and more. From the moment I met her, she was warm, upbeat, and genuinely kind—especially with my dog, Violet. She has a natural confidence and a calming presence that immediately put me at ease. Violet is a senior and can be a bit strong-willed, but Grace handled her with patience, care, and real attentiveness. I was out of the country for a week, and knowing Grace was at my home taking such good care of her gave me complete peace of mind. I especially appreciated the regular updates and photos—they meant a lot while I was away. I’m truly grateful for Grace and would absolutely trust her again in the future.”
“Michelle is the most dedicated dog sitter! She is attentive to every need/want our Gracie had. We will definitely reach out to her again. She also takes and sends the most beautiful pictures and videos. Thanks so much for taking care of our Gracie.”
“Isabel took great care of our two dogs in our home over the weekend! She was comfortable administering their medications, and sent lots of great updates and pictures. We would definitely have her watch our boys again!”
“It's always hard to leave the old boy, but Marie was outstanding and kept Bentley safe and warm as well as providing a constant presence. Marie is a neat and conscientious house guest and I would not hesitate to ask her back again.”
“Maya was fantastic with our VERY energetic large puppy and kitties. We appreciated receiving photos, questions and updates along the way. We felt confident our pets and home were in good hands which allowed us to enjoy extended time away. We returned home to a clean house and happy healthy pets! I highly recommend Maya and will certainly rebook in the future.”
“Our pups were so calm and happy when we arrived home. Meaghan kept us updated and was kind and clean! We would definitely recommend and hire her again in the future! :)”
“This is our 2nd time using Sophie for in home dog sitting. Sophie engages, plays and loves Luna while caring for her & also sends updates and pictures often. Our dog is always happy and very well taken care of.”
“Sarah was amazing. So intuitive with our nervous dog, who was immediately comfortable with her. Reliable, responsive, kind, caring and very clean. We feel so grateful to have found her! Thank you for taking such good care of our pup.”
“Nicky was so attentive! She covered all of the bases when it came to caring for our two dogs. She communicated with us during our time away and included photos for us to enjoy! In addition she left our home in pristine condition!”
“Bri was SO phenomenal taking care of our dogs for 2 whole weeks. She communicated daily with awesome, honest updates and made us feel completely secure that our dogs were getting excellent care. She is so organized and professional, and our dogs adored her. We would love to have her watch our dogs for any trip!!”
“Kaitlyn is super communicative, thinks about how to make the experience the best it possibly can be for your pet, and sends tons of photos and updates to make sure you know your pet is in the best hands possible and is happy and taken care of! It’s obvious Kaitlyn enjoys caring for pets and that this means more to her than just a job!”
“Jonathan took fantastic care of both our dog, Winston, and our house! I would highly recommend him as a pet/house sitter. He took Winston on very long walks, sent daily photos and updates, and kept us informed on Winston's well-being during our absence. We knew Winston was well cared for, and therefore we had no concerns while we were away. Jonathan gave us peace of mind that our "baby" was just fine.”
“Jayla accommodated our last minute request. Great communication throughout the days we were away and lots of fun pictures for our peace of mind. We will be looking to book with Jayla again in the future!”
“JL was an absolute dream! My boys -- a cat and a dog -- were so well taken care of, as was my apartment. They adored him. Took the dog on long walks and followed feeding directions to a T. Would indubitably have him pet-sit in the future.”
“Emily spent the weekend at our house with our dear Franklin. She’s kind, loving, and absolutely professional - she made sure she knew all the ins and outs of Franklin’s routine. He was happy as a clam and tired out from all their long walks! Will definitely be booking Emily again!”
“We had such a great experience with Sam!! Our 10 year old mic breed Tobin can be quite shy with new people and warmed up with Sam immediately. Sam was incredibly attentive from the start, taking details notes during drop off and really listening to all our instructions around meals and walking routine. Throughout the stay Sam sent regular updates and photos which was so reassuring (especially since this was our first time doing an in home stay with rover). Sam left our home cleaner than when we left it! We couldn’t be happier and will definitely book Sam again. Highly recommend!”
Charles pet parents share their Rover experiences
Jonathan was communicative and proactive over the course of the week we were away. He was very attuned to our dog’s needs, including taking extra time and thought to prepare her special food when her appetite was low. Our house was in great shape when we returned. We are grateful for his care and consideration!
Katie did a phenomenal job with my cat Gracie! She was communicative, kind, and attentive to detail - and I had a lot of confidence leaving my cat in her care. I came home to a happy cat and a house just like I left it (emptied trash, fresh sheets, clean dishes) - would happily use her services again!
Christine was our first ever in-house dog sitter for our two pups and we couldn't have been more pleased. She communicated with us promptly and regularly while we were away, and took great care of our ladies (and house). I would highly recommend her for any of the services she offers.
Lisa was great to work with. One of my dogs is protective of the house/yard and Lisa handled the situation well. Both of my dogs warmed up to her quickly and the updates she provided throughout the stay were comforting. I will definitely contact her again if I need a pet sitter.
Maricela was fantastic! Lucy loved all the attention and I was grateful for the help with not only my baby but my plant babies as well. We left for a weekend trip our house was spotless and our Lucy was happy. Maricela sent photos and updates everyday- since it was a busy weekend it was reassuring to know she was well taken care of. So grateful
Five-star service! Joselyn did a fantastic job house sitting and looking after Chance. Professional, communicative, and great with dogs. Chance clearly enjoyed his time with her, and the house looked great when we got back. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy and reliable, look no further.
Bri was SO phenomenal taking care of our dogs for 2 whole weeks. She communicated daily with awesome, honest updates and made us feel completely secure that our dogs were getting excellent care. She is so organized and professional, and our dogs adored her. We would love to have her watch our dogs for any trip!!
Kat is the best! Maxwell loves her, and she is so good with him. She gives you detailed updates every day with lots of good photos. And she leaves our apartment in such good order. This is the second time we have used her for dog sitting and would do so again without hesitation.
We had such a great experience with Sam!! Our 10 year old mic breed Tobin can be quite shy with new people and warmed up with Sam immediately. Sam was incredibly attentive from the start, taking details notes during drop off and really listening to all our instructions around meals and walking routine. Throughout the stay Sam sent regular updates and photos which was so reassuring (especially since this was our first time doing an in home stay with rover). Sam left our home cleaner than when we left it! We couldn’t be happier and will definitely book Sam again. Highly recommend!
LA did such an amazing job with Fletcher. They were consistently communicative and responsive. They sent updates regularly throughout the day and took great care of Fletcher and my place. The fact that he warmed up to them so quickly speaks to how well LA cares for animals and builds trust. It is reassuring to know that my shy and sometimes skittish pup is in such great hands.
Jules is phenomenal and she took such good care of our two girly cats Ruby and Hollow while we traveled!! She catered to each of their needs individually and made sure they both had a great time with love and cuddles and lots of playtime and treats! She sent so many photos to update us and it gave us a real peace of mind that the girl’s were well taken care of!! She even made sure Ruby got her additional food supplements and brushing time everyday! Book book book!! We will be booking with Jules again for all of our travels in the future!
Hannah has been absolutely amazing, truly an angel. She took care of our dog for two weeks and showed incredible commitment and care throughout. Our dog can be challenging, especially due to his anxiety around paw cleaning and eye care, but Hannah handled all of his needs with patience and skill and treated him as if he were her own. She sent daily updates without fail, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. On top of that, she took excellent care of our home and we came back to a house that was even better than we left it. Hannah is exceptional and we would absolutely trust her again. We cannot wait to have her pet sit for us in the future. 🙌🏻
