3. LN (Ellen) L.

“LN was amazing! Went so above and beyond with communication and care. She was flexible when our plans changed and we came home to a very happy dog. Cannot recommend enough!”


4. Sydney S.

“Sydney took care of our aging and rapidly declining cat. Without hesitation they gave him meds and cuddled with him. They also sent us photos and kept us updated on his condition and eating habits. We would highly recommend you hire Sydney for any pet, healthy or not.”


5. Ellen F.

“Ellen was fantastic! She stayed at our house with our two dogs, and it felt great leaving them (and especially our needy senior guy) with someone who was clearly very responsible and loves animals. We came home to happy dogs and a spotless house. Thank you Ellen!”


6. Maggie A.

“Maggie is awesome! She took great care of our home and dog. Plus she was super patient when we had plans change that got us back to town a bit early. We would definitely recommend!”


7. Amber B.

“I have known Amber for 8 years now. I can't count the number of times she has looked after my mom and sister's cats while they were out of town. She loves pets and I trust her with mine without a second thought. I've recommended her to quite a few people as well.”


8. Sarah H.

“Sarah was amazing with our lil girl! She communicated with updates and sent pictures daily, very attentive to our needs as fur parents. Our lil girl was well taken care of and loved for the whole time we were away. Wonderful experience with Sarah, will use again! Thank you Sarah ?”


9. Emely R.


“Emely was great with our 2 dogs. This is our second time booking with her and we will book with her again. She is trustworthy, responsive and responsible.”


10. Sierra M.

“Sierra took great care of my three dogs (one of which is a 3 month old puppy)! She was communicative and sent updates and photos. Would hire her to watch them again!”


11. Yovany L.
“I encouraged Yovany to sign up for Rover, because he is so kind and caring with my dog, Isabel, when he walks her. He loves animals and he is just the person you want caring for your fur baby, when you can't. Yovany is honest and dependable. I would not hesitate to recommend him to pet-sit, walk or care for your pet. He provides these services because he has a passion for animals. It's not just a job to him. I highly recommend!”


12. Rinnah A.

“Rinnah, was excellent with both my dogs even though one of my dogs was not able to bond with her because she needs at least 3 weeks to become friends with a stranger and on her terms. 😂 Rinnah sent me pictures and videos of my pups every day which was great to see how they were doing. I would highly recommend her to everyone who has pets.”




13. Zack P.
“It was our first time using Zack and we’re a fan! We have a very exuberant pitty who is a challenge to manage due to her strength and love for everything except the word ‘no.’ Our ‘kids’ loved him and one can tell he has a special place in his heart for animals the minute you meet him. Zack is conscientious and thorough, communicates clearly and leaves the house tidy. What’s not to love?! We will definitely book again in the future. Thank you, Zack! ?”


14. Sigrid M.

“Sigrid was amazing with my anxious, reactive girl! Took good care of her and provided great updates. Kept my house neat and tidy while housesitting. Overall a total pleasure to work with!”


15. Katherine M.

“Katherine did an awesome job taking care of our house and dog during a snowpocalypse with a power outage. When we got back the dog was happy and the house was clean. We look forward to having her watch our dog and house again.”




16. Erica & Christopher K.


“Erica went above and beyond for our dogs. She helped us out in a bind with a last-minute booking/availability and quickly came by to meet the pups. It was so nice to leave town for a night and not have to worry about them, and she kept us updated often with texts and pictures. Highly recommend! Will definitely be booking with her again. Thank you Erica!!!”


17. Rachel B.

“Rachel was very accommodating when my flights were delayed and then cancelled. My dog enjoys his time with her along with my cat who is slow to warm up to others. It’s nice to have a pet sitter you can trust! Will continue to book.”


18. Sinead B.

“Sinead was great with Vincent and sent photos/check-ins almost everyday. This was my first time using Rover and I booked daily check-ins instead of housesitting (what I wanted) so I can’t blame her for not being here as much as I expected but can’t blame her either. I would definitely use her again, just with the clarification up front of what exactly we expect. Overall, Vincent was happy and well taken care of!”


19. Hawken J.

“Hawken was absolutely amazing! He took incredible care of my moody and neurotic dog, handling her quirks with patience, love, and care. His regular updates gave me peace of mind, and it was clear my dog was enjoying her own little adventure while I was away. On top of that, he left my home spotless and went out of his way to ensure I felt comfortable throughout the entire process. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and I cannot recommend him highly enough!”


20. Kara M.

“Kara was very clear with communication and took excellent care of our two big dogs, one of whom is a bit of a challenge. She sent pictures and updates daily and clearly enjoyed spending time with them. We came home to a clean house and even partially shoveled roof. I would definitely book Kara again!”
