“Janelle was wonderful when dog/cat sitting for us! Attentive in every detail and provided as many updates as we needed. We will be booking again with Janelle! Highly recommend! Our dog was so happy when we returned and enjoyed his stay with her.”
“Stephanie is a very attentive and communicative pet sitter. She sent me multiple pictures and detailed updates throughout the time she spent with my boys, giving me peace of mind while being away. She dropped in as often as she said she would and followed directions. My pets were happy and healthy when I got home. Highly recommend and will use again.”
“Erin did an amazing job. She watched our dog and house for 2 days and provided regular updates. 10/10 would recommend. Our dog was probably spoiled more than we already spoil her.”
“Danielle took great care of our boys and apartment while we were away. She gave us daily updates and adapted quickly to the nuances of our dog and cat. We would be happy to have Danielle back over in the future!”
“We were out on an extended trip, and Ellen did an amazing job with our pups! She was very responsive to messages and sent lots of pictures. She left our house tidy and our dogs seemed to love her! Will definitely book again!”
“Juanita was wonderful in every way. Her communication was thorough and frequent and I received many pictures from her during her time with my dog. She left my home in excellent condition and I have no doubt my dog was very well cared for. I look forward to using her again!”
“Olivia was great; she was attentive, communicative, and totally took care of my furry family as well as our house. I highly recommend Olivia, and look forward to booking her again soon!!”
“Lainie was great with our dog George, and watching our home. She would send us a picture at least once/day, and was great keeping in touch. First time using Rover.com. Would highly recommend Lainie!”
“Ella was an absolutely wonderful pet sitter for my dog, Bear, and my cat, Cheesecake. She kept me updated regularly with messages and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. Both of my pets felt completely comfortable with her, and it was clear they were well cared for and happy. She also treated my home with so much respect — everything was spotless when I returned, and it honestly looked just as clean as when I left. Ella truly went above and beyond, and I would love to have her watch Bear and Cheesecake again in the future. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and thoughtful pet sitter!”
“So glad that Carissa was available to watch my babies for a long weekend! She was great with updates and pictures and I felt really good knowing she was there with them. She took wonderful care of my babies and my home, leaving my place so clean and nice. She’s a gem and I will absolutely use her again! Thank you Carissa! 🙏”
“Nadia was great with our dog Charlie! She was able to help us out on short notice, which we were so grateful for. And while we were gone, she was an excellent communicator, sharing photos of what she and Charlie were up to multiple times a day. We would definitely work with her again!”
“I had a really good feeling when Cecile came over for initial meet and greet. She is very time conscious and asks great questions for providing client-centered care. Islay took to her right away, and I’ve already scheduled Cecile for several more appointments. So thankful to have her on our call list!!”
“Taylor did a great job taking care of our girl while we were out of town for the weekend. She had great communication and sent pictures and updates. Would definitely recommend her!”
“My puppies (Great Danes) absolutely fell in love with Felicity and she was in regular communication about them. I felt very safe and secure knowing my babies were in amazing hands!”
“Thank you for taking such great care of Duke! I REALLY appreciate getting pictures, will definitely be in touch for the next time I need a sitter for him.”
“Sunnie is stellar! We have a big fam, two dogs and two cats — two are seniors! Sunnie is the most responsible dog sitter and I felt at ease the entire time we were away. We are lucky to have had Sunnie care for our little fam. House was in great shape, animals are happy, we look forward to having Sunnie over again.”
Derby pet parents share their Rover experiences
Sydney was an absolutely wonderful sitter for our dog and cat. She communicated super clearly, was on time, sent photos, and even checked in when our pup was scared during a thunderstorm. She gave our dog’s tail a little wash when she peed on it! She also left the house in even better shape and left CUSTOM STICKERS of both pets!! We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and feel so confident she will take excellent care of them in the future. We can’t wait to book Sydney again!
When booking a new Rover stay, you HOPE to find someone as courteous and responsible as Taylor. This was our first booking with Taylor. She house sat our two bulldogs and was absolutely wonderful. She is timely, communicative and caring. She followed instructions, left our home clean, and took amazing care of our doggies! She made our trip home easy and worry free. Thank you so much!
Courtney was fantastic with our dog and two cats while we were on vacation for a week. She was very communicative and sent daily photos. She took great care of our pets and even understood how to handle one of our more spicy cats! Will absolutely have her over again in the future to watch our pets!
McKenna was a great sitter for our 5 month old pup, Honey! She stayed with Honey for 3 nights and was a great communicator and sent pics and updates. I was never worried that she was going to dissappear. When we got back Honey was in a good mood and the house was in great shape. We hope to have her back next time we leave town. Thank you, McKenna!!
