I left my dog for the first time ever and I was nervous. Nancy put me at ease sending me videos and reassuring me the dog was fine. Nancy was really good with my dog and allowed me to really enjoy my trip. She is dependable and reliable. I highly recommend her.

Kennedy was a wonderful house and dog sitter for our puppy. We chose Rover to keep our pup on a schedule while we attended an out of town wedding and Kennedy did a great job. She sent me updates and pictures. I will definitely hire her again!

Jodie was fantastic! She was very accommodating of the pets needs and spoiled them just as much as I do! She even stayed later to help with my senior dogs meds when my return flight got delayed. Her girls were excellent helpers and did so well with my dog, cat and Guinea pigs. I can’t say enough good things about Jodie! I definitely will be rebooking her!

Angela was great with watching our dog while we were out of town for the weekend! She was super responsive, sent updates throughout the weekend, and we could tell our dog was as well cared for when we got home. I definitely recommend Angela and am excited for her to watch our doggo again in the future!

Ella did a great job looking after our Charlie for our week long vacation. Ella stayed evenings and overnight with him as he is a nervous dog. Ella also had him feeling comfortable and had him playing right away. Ella did a great job taking care our our property as well, cleaned up after themselves and made sure to keep us informed about Charlie the whole week. A+++ highly recommend!

Sidney did a wonderful job house-sitting our 2 kitties. It was our first time using rover so we were a bit nervous, but she was great about communication & giving frequent updates. Our house was even cleaner than we had left it! We would very much recommended Sidney for pet sitting and would use her for future trips.

Jessica worked as an employee of mine at a dog boarding facility. She was easily one of my most reliable and trusted employees. She loves the dogs so much, pays attention to details and noticed of anything was off like not drinking water or eating well. I would trust her to care for my pets and would highly recommend her to anyone!

I have a special needs doggo, and needed a sitter for him while I went on a work trip. My pooch has pretty bad separation anxiety, which fuels my anxiety at leaving him, but Sara was absolutely amazing with him! Not long after leaving him, I got pictures of him relaxing and getting plenty of love. She really went out of her way to put us both at ease, and I can’t thank her enough. 10/10 from me!
