Erin stayed with our golden retriever, Harvey, for two weekends in the past month. We’ve never used rover before and we were a little nervous, but Erin was so great with him and sent us lots of updates. She also was very thoughtful of our space! (I.e washing the sheets and towels, making the bed, running the dishwasher, leaving the space clean). Would definitely recommend!

Briana was fabulous! Both my cat and dog are picky eaters and Briana got them to eat. She was patient and conscientious. Originally we had booked her to just cat-sit, but our plans for our dog fell through and she gladly took on the challenge of taking care of our diabetic dog, insulin shots and all. We are so thankful for her!

This was our first time using Rover and we found a great sitter with Sarah! From the meet and greet, she had a good connection with our two dogs and from the photos we received during the trip, we could tell the boys were having a good time. House was left in great condition and we will definitely look to book with her again when needed. Highly recommend!!

Grace had a great stay with my critters, Billie (dog) and Bill Murray (cat)!!! It was my first time using Rover so I was a little nervous to entrust my pets with a stranger, but Grace spent an hour with us during the "Meet & Greet" and took the time to walk with us around the neighborhood. That really put me at ease! She notified me right away as things came up, and checked in each day with pictures and videos. My dog has a difficult time with other dogs and Grace was able to re-direct her to keep her safe. This time of year is always tough, too. My neighborhood was covered in a sheet of ice, followed by a blanket of snow a few days later. Grace braved the weather and kept the pets on their routine. When I got back, everything was clean and in it's place, and the neighbors only had nice things to say after meeting her! She followed instructions to a tee and the pets were as happy as could be with mom gone for a week. I've already booked her for my next trip :) Thanks, Grace!!!

Emily was great with our 9 month old Aussie mix. He has tons of energy which requires multiple play sessions per day as well as mental stimulation. Emily was able to do all of those things and help Earth adjust to us being gone for a few days. She always responded with info on how Earth was doing when I asked for updates. Our home was in perfect shape when we arrived home as well. I would love to have Emily watch Earth again in the future and would be comfortable with her watching him knowing all his needs can be met despite being a high energy pup.

Connie was an absolute pleasure! She is so caring and personable. She took care of our Lola, who is a senior girl that required love and affection because her mama wasn’t there. Connie took such good care of her. Even shared some of her lunch when I told her that Lola wasn’t eating her treats or dog food.(after checking with me first). We cannot say enough good things about her. She sent us pictures and videos of Lola, providing extra reassurance that our little girl was doing ok Connie is a very genuine and respectful person. I would definitely use Connie again and whole heartedly recommend her to my family and friends!

Olivia was fabulous! This was the first time we went through this app to have someone watch our dogs and I was nervous to be honest but Olivia eased all of my anxiety. She did frequent check ins on how the dogs were doing, when it was a hot day she asked about doing a shorter walk so the dogs didn’t get too hot and our fur babies absolutely loved her! If your dogs mean the world to you, Olivia is a great person to care for them!

Emily was an amazing care taker for my dogs. They are a little extra, like most dogs are lol. And she took good care of them and all their quirks. She communicated often, sent photos and videos and walked and cuddled them like they were her own. I recommend her for the care of your fur babies and hope to have her again in my home to stay with Otis and Myla 🐶❤️

Finding dog care is usually stressful in itself for us. But a family emergency required us to leave town on relatively short notice, that stress was multiplied. I work from home so our two dogs are used to having someone around most of the time. One is also a bit high-maintenance—slow to warm up to strangers, needs medication, requires frequent potty breaks, and has some incontinence issues (diapers!) due to said meds. Stephanie made the experience as worry-free as possible. She responded quickly to our booking request, and her calm, confident demeanor during the initial meet-and-greet immediately put us at ease. While we were away, she provided frequent updates and photos, giving us peace of mind that our dogs were in great hands. We came home to a clean house and two happy, well-cared-for dogs. I truly appreciated Stephanie’s care and professionalism during a difficult time for our family. While the cost of having someone stay in your home can sometimes feel like a luxury, she gave us one less thing to worry about when we needed it most—and made her stay worth every penny.

Emerson was an amazing sitter for our two girls. I got daily updates, came home to a clean home and didn’t worry one bit while we were away. We came home to two very happy doggos and will definitely book again. Thank you for taking such good care of our girls and making it so easy to enjoy our vacation. We appreciate you!
