She is so great with Hank, our rescue dog. Goes above and beyond in walks, playing with him, and taking great photos. So respectful of our home. Hope to use her again!

Woody took great care of our scaredy pup Bella. Bella can be challenged when new people come into her life. Woody took steps to help Bella with this and was able to gain her trust. We hope highly recommend Woody for your pet's care.

Mary is awesome! She's very communicative and gives our dogs the extra attention they need while we're away. She's very reliable and really came through when my travel plans home were cancelled unexpectedly and she was able to extend her stay for an extra day.

Erica was absolutely wonderful! She house sat our 2 standard poodles and 2 kittens for 3 nights. She is very professional and attentive and took good care of our fur babies and home. We got lots of communication and photos. We would most definitely have her pet sit for us again.

Mo was really great with my dog, Bandit. Bandit is a Pomeranian with a lot of “agency” and Mo was a great person to have here for a dog that can be difficult at times. I know Bandit loved Mo as when I changed the sheets on his bed, Bandit immediately jumped on the sheets as he missed Mo!

Marisa is the best! She came and sat with our dogs during our wedding with pretty short notice. She gave them lots of love, took them outside lots, and even left us a few Polaroids :) we can’t wait to have her back to hang out with the dogs again soon!!

Gabrielle did an overnight stay while I was away for the weekend with my 3 cats and was fabulous! She took great care of my cats and provided daily updates with photos. My cats are usually pretty shy but they took to having her around with no issues. She is very caring and respectable about the cats space and feelings! She has a great process down when initially booking with her with a phone call and also a meet and greet with the animals before booking which I really appreciated. She was also respectable of my home! I had an issue with my AC malfunctioning while I was out of town and Gabrielle stuck around during the day to meet with the AC repair team while I was away which I really appreciated. She is an amazing pet sitter and I highly recommend booking with her!

This recent booking was our first overnight stay with Steven. I’ve booked Steven a couple times before for day-stays and I was so relieved to hear he was available for house sitting while I went on a several day hiking trip in California. My pup is anxious and very attached to me so, I have a hard time leaving her with just anyone. Knowing Steven would be taking care of my pup let me fully enjoy myself while I was away. I’m appreciative of his flexibility, understanding, and communication. Thank you for all of your kindness and patience with Palomita! Can’t wait for our next house sitting opportunity.

Would highly recommend and will definitely book her again in the future!

I can't recommend Jewel highly enough. She stayed at my house to take care of my dog while I was out of town for 10 days and she really went above and beyond with everything. It's great to know I have someone I can trust when I travel and I'll be absolutely be reaching out to Jewel again for help in the future, and recommending her to family and friends!

Anjana was so amazing! She was super patient even though our cat was very slow to warm up. She sent so many pictures every day which I really appreciate, and our house was so clean when we got home. Anjana was a super thoughtful and attentive sitter and I will definitely book with her again in the future. Thanks so much!

Caroline was wonderful! She stayed at our house with our cats, and we felt so comfortable knowing they were in such good hands. Our kitties can be a little shy, but they absolutely loved her. She sent lots of sweet updates and photos, watered our plants, and left the house spotless. She was communicative, thoughtful, and went above and beyond. We’d be so happy to have her stay with them again!

Sonya was a life saver! My cat Misty is undergoing treatment for lymphoma and I was stressed about having to leave her to go on a trip that had been planned for a while. Sonya was wonderful though, she made sure Misty took her medicine and kept her and my other cat, Bix, company while my boyfriend and I were away. She took great care of our home and sent pictures of the kitties often! It was a relief to know that they were in great hands!

We had a wonderful experience! She took great care of our two very large dogs and handled them with ease. Throughout the stay, she was with them the majority of the time, which gave us a lot of peace of mind. Our boys were happy, healthy, and clearly well cared for when we got home. Communication was great, and it was obvious she genuinely cared about them. We would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, attentive, and trustworthy dog sitter.

I almost didn’t want to leave a review because I’d love to keep Aleksi to ourselves 😊, but he is one of the best Rovers we’ve ever had. I’m always nervous leaving Woody with anyone, and Aleksi made me feel completely at ease from start to finish. His communication was fantastic, the updates were thoughtful, and he took amazing care of both Woody and our home. We came home to a happy dog, a spotless house, and total peace of mind. I can’t recommend Aleksi highly enough and would book with him again in a heartbeat!

Mo is so incredibly thoughtful and kind. He is great with our 12.5 year old boxer. He keeps up with her medication schedule, sent plenty or updates and pictures, and is just super communicative overall. With this being our second house/pet sitting experience with Mo, I can definitely say he is our new go to. Couldn’t recommend him more.

My husband and I had never used Rover before, so we were pretty nervous to be honest letting a stranger stay in our home to watch h our dog. But we were needing someone to watch our dog in our home as we don’t like to board her anywhere cause we don’t trust those places! Sarah did a great job and we appreciated how communicative Sarah was with us from start to end. She sent us so many pictures, videos, and updates. In all the photos and videos, it looked like our dog was having a great time, and she really did care for her with patience and love. Sarah was also very respectful of our home, by cleaning up after, and taking out the trash. Everything was left exactly how we left it. We will def be considering Sarah to watch our dog in the future. Thanks Sarah!
