1. Tyler H.
“If I could leave a million star review I would. Tyler and his fiancée literally saved my dog’s life!! While I was out of town my dog got extremely sick. They took him to the emergency vet two separate times. He stayed there with him all night one of those nights. He made sure that he was getting great care before leaving him. He also communicated very well with me this whole time. He helped so much while I was trying to get home from another country. They are the ONLY reason my dog survived. If it weren’t for them being so caring and attentive I would not have my dog home with me right now. If you’re looking for someone kind, caring, and attentive, DEFINITELY book with Tyler!”

“Stephanie watched my two Frenchies and they absolutely love her! My dogs were well exercised and happy. The updates and photos sent throughout her stay gave me complete peace of mind. I highly recommend Stephanie to anyone looking for a reliable and loving dog sitter. Thank you again for taking such great care of my fur babies!”

“Miliana was great! Very flexible and proactive— scheduled time to meet with our cat beforehand. My cat is super shy but warmed up to Miliana quickly! Definitely recommend. :)”
9. Desiree B.
“Desiree was absolutely fantastic! My dogs were clearly well cared for and loved on while I was away. They were happy and healthy when I returned. Desiree did a great job with feeding, walking, and providing companionship. I would definitely recommend Desiree to other dog owners. Thanks for everything!”
10. Christina P.
“My wife Christina and I have the privilege of owning two beautiful labs. Tina is the most loving and caring dog mom! She has a relationship with not only our dogs, but dogs within our community, like no one I have ever seen. When Tina suggested exploring Rover and explained the app to me, I thought it was a match made in heaven. If you are looking for someone personable, caring , and responsible, then look no further.”

12. Shane D.
“This was my first time using Rover so I was nervous to have a stranger checking in on my two kitties. Shane’s responsiveness and professionalism made my trip worry free because I knew that my kitties were in good hands. I will definitely be using Shane’s services in the future.”
13. Andey D.
“At first I was unsure about hiring someone to help me take care of my dog, you just never know who’s out there, but Andey quickly washed all my fears away. She met our dog first for a meet and greet and it was love at first head scratch. She is great with animals and really cares about making sure they have the best experience possible. Andey also helped ease my worries by sending photos of my little buddy and updating me with where they were or what they were doing.”
14. Catherine M.
“Catherine took great care of my dog Lexi! She gave me photo updates and was very communicative. I would recommend her to anyone in the neighborhood and will definitely use her for future care for Lexi”
15. Prisha S.
“Prisha was an exceptional dog-sitter who consistently went above and beyond to ensure the well-being and happiness of my new puppy, Max. I travel for work and have entrusted him with her on several occasions, and each time, she's shown incredible responsibility, kindness, and attention to detail. Max absolutely adores her, and it's clear she genuinely cares about him as if he were her own. Unlike past dog-sitters, Prisha has consistently been reliable, trustworthy, and gives ample warning if she is unable to watch Max. I couldn't recommend her more highly to anyone looking for a dedicated and compassionate dog-sitter.”
16. Shayna F.
“Shayna did drop-in visits on two occasions for our cats, one being a whole month long. She tended to their food, water, and litter needs. I noticed sometimes the check-in times would stretch longer than the allocated half an hour, so we’re really grateful she went above and beyond and still managed to squeeze in play time with our cats as well during the visits! After every visit, she wrote a description of what she had done, and also attached some pictures of the cats. Shayna was also very flexible and accommodating, agreeing to take on an unforeseen visit with just a day’s notice! All in all, we were very happy with her service and will definitely look forward to her seeing our cats again!”
17. Lauren G.
“Lauren’s checked in on Blake before and this time was the same great experience as always! Lauren is always on time, sends me updates, and makes sure Blake is all set and happy by the time she leaves!”
18. Rachel S.
“Rachel is a phenomenal pet sitter. You can tell she really loves animals and treats all of the animals like her own. She kept my dog for 3 nights and every night sent me pictures and videos of my dog. My dog slept on her bed and went on multiple walks a day. My dog loves her and will be going back!”
19. Emily W.
“Great communication! Emily was on time and provided lots of updates. I’m so thankful Emily was able to drop in for my picky Shiba Inu. It looks like he really liked her too! Thanks again :)”
20. Gina B.
“Gina was awesome and took great care of our 2 cats. She was responsive, caring, and attentive to details during her drop ins. She well-managed the different personalities of our cats and went over the top with tidying the food containers. Highly recommend - thanks Gina!”
