“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!!”
“Melondy was great! We booked this trip over a month ago and it unfortunately landed during the weekend of the winter storm and she was still very understanding. Our two gremlins were super happy when we returned and had a great time.”
“Jolene was great with my pup and kitty. My dog has some health issues and Jolene medicated him and kept to his schedule like instructed. She was loving and kind to my animals and they were not that excited when I got home!”
“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.”
“We love Candice so much. She takes care of my pups as her own. Our neighbors see them walking and say she just adores them when I’m traveling. She communicates and just is the best. Will continue to work with her as long as she’s doing this.”
“Great sitter. Was able to help out on short notice and provided updates on our pets. Gave us peace of mind and we were able to enjoy our vacation. Would definitely book again”
“Cienne took great care of my pups! She stayed at my home and sent lots of updates which I love. My girls looked very happy and comfortable. Will definitely have her over again!”
“Our dog does not like people other than my wife really. But she took to Christine on day one and was climbing into her lap that night. It is such a relief to know someone who gets along with our dog is taking care of them. Would definitely hire again!”
“Jessica stayed at our house with our dog and our bird. We hate leaving our dog because she has anxiety but Jessica did a wonderful job communicating with us while we were away and putting our minds at ease. She also left our home immaculate. Would highly recommend and will definitely book her again in the future!”

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!
Allison cared for my cat while I was on a business trip, and she was great. Sent good photos, took good care of my place, and her communication was excellent. She’s a kind person and you can tell how great and caring she is with animals. I would book her again and you can book her with confidence!
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.
Allie housesat for me while I was out of town and was wonderful with Bisou. Her communication was excellent- she kept me updated throughout with photos and regular checkins. There were also some small things I needed done around the house that she was able to take care of for me with no hesitation. I'd definitely book her again and highly recommend her!
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!
Sterling is fantastic! From our meet-and-greet, she was warm, friendly, and immediately put me at ease. The pups took to her right away, and I felt confident leaving them in her care. The photos, videos, and updates throughout the stay were much appreciated. Her communication was excellent, and it was reassuring to know how the dogs were doing while I was away. It was clear they were happy, comfortable, and well cared for. The Happy Meal and I highly recommend Sterling to anyone looking for someone reliable, caring, and communicative. I'll definitely be booking with her again.
