“Marie was amazing with our needy , energetic frenchie! You can tell she cares deeply for animals. She asked all the right questions, making sure she understood our dog's needs and routine. She checked in often and kept us updated, which we really appreciated. You can tell she genuinely loves what she does. We highly recommend her!”
“Dahn stayed at our house with our pups while we were out of town for 2 nights. We felt very comfortable with Dahn here and everything was exactly how we left it. More importantly she took great care of our dogs and sent constant updates and pictures. Our Marley gets scared when it’s storms and there was a storm while we were gone. Dahn gave her extra love and made sure she felt safe! We will definitely use Dahn again and would highly recommend her”
“I reached out to Emily after a friend recommended her, and I’m so glad I trusted my friend - Emily was highly communicative every day, clearly spent time with the animals, and very responsible! I recommend her highly! 😊”

We did a meet greet at our home with her and the dogs and we knew immediately Jordan was going to do awesome. She of took great care of our little guys and our house. Jordan is friendly, attentive to the dogs, and super easy to work with. She communicated throughout her stay giving us peace of mind knowing the dogs and our home were being well cared for. We will definitely use Jordan again !”
“Amanda was just great. She was very responsible and respectful and very communicative. She sent us pictures of Buddy and kept us informed of what he was doing. We felt very comfortable about being away knowing that Amanda was there. We found everything spotless when we returned and we really appreciate that! We'll certainly have Amanda back!”
“I can honestly say that Max is the best pet sitter I’ve had yet! They were able to accommodate the sit on a bit of short notice, not to mention some unexpected medical needs for my dog. I almost didn’t go on my trip because my dog woke up with an eye infection that required medicine the morning I was supposed to leave. Max’s confidence to give her medicine put me at ease so I could still go. They kept me updated on how my pets were doing throughout my trip and gave them all the love/care they needed. Would absolutely book again and recommend to others.”
“Matt was/is amazing! A true hidden gem or maybe not so hidden but either way I'm glad I found him. His immediate calming demeanor was just what my semi high strung energetic dog needed, as well as my timid cat. He was flexible, punctual, incredibly kind, and went above and beyond while caring for my fur babies. It made being away from them that much easier as my mind and heart were at peace. He also sent me lots of photos of them which always brightens my day when I'm away from them. I could not recommend Matt enough.”
“Veronica was amazing! She took excellent care of our pup and was very communicative. Cooper was very well cared for and we felt at-ease leaving him with Veronica, even when he had some special needs and required extra attention/help. We would highly recommend her for any pet care!”
“This was my first time booking a cat sitter through Rover - Jen is phenomenal! She is so kind, and was consistent, reliable, thorough, and thoughtful in taking care of my two cats and home. She went the extra mile by showing care about understanding the cats’ routine, bonding with them, sending updates, and keeping things clean in my absence. It was so nice to trust that the cats were being well cared for while I was away at a research conference, and Jen was perfect with communication/updates. I will definitely be a repeat client of hers!”
“Sadie did a fantastic job house-sitting my two cats! She definitely knows how to take care of cats, as evidenced by my timid one warming up to her within hours of meeting her! I had total peace of mind while I was away, and I'll definitely be her repeat customer :)”
“Rachel watched our 2 dogs and home for a week. We were very happy on our return. Our puppies were well cared for and she left our house very clean. We'll definitely use her again!”
“Mary Rose was wonderful!! Very communicative, caring, and did a great job updating me while I was away. I would highly recommend her to anyone in need of a pet sitter. The frequent pictures she sent of my boy throughout the day eased any worry and I knew he was being well cared for. Cloud approved and made a new friend😊🤍”
“Megan was great! Both of my dogs loved her! She was very professional. You could tell she loves animals. We needed a house/dog sitter in less than a week and Megan responded promptly to the request.”

“Rebecca is amazing with our dog - that has quite a personality! She’s conscious, attentive and caring - all we could ask for in a sitter. We were completely at easy knowing that Rebecca was in charge. Can’t wait to use her again in the future!”
“We’ve had a lot of sitters, but Kate quickly proved she will be on the top of our favorites going forward. I loved that she understood my dog and wanted to keep to his own routine while I was traveling. She was communicative and kept me in the loop on everything. She rolled with stepping in to help deal with some sensitive tummy issues and providing meds and helped him quickly recover.”
“Nancy took such great care of our two pups and our house. We were in regular contact with her while we were gone and she sent us several "pupdates" to let us know Sophie and Loki were happy. We'll definitely be rebooking her for future vacations and will recommend her highly to our friends who are looking for a dog sitter.”
