“Rasika did a great job while watching my dog. I received a ton of updates with pictures. I was never once worried about the job she was doing. She also took care of my house and even took out the trash for me!”
“Elle was amazing! She has an awesome list of questions that she made sure to get answered so she really understood the needs of our pets. We have a very anxious and shy dog, and she was very patient with her and allowed her to come out of her shell on her own terms. She took amazing care of both our dog and our cat, was very communicative and sent regular updates, and was overall great! I will absolutely rebook and would recommend her in a heartbeat.”
“Paula is the absolute best sitter we have ever used on Rover. She is so speedy with communication, attentive to our dogs, professional, and caring. Our pups were so happy to be with her and she took great care of our house as well. Would absolutely recommend her to anyone and everyone and will rebook with her in the future!”
“Tiffany was wonderful! She took great care of our pup, followed all instructions perfectly, and left our home spotless. We especially appreciated her flexibility and kindness when she stayed an extra day after our flight was canceled—truly above and beyond.”
“Melondy was great! We booked this trip over a month ago and it unfortunately landed during the weekend of the winter storm and she was still very understanding. Our two gremlins were super happy when we returned and had a great time.”
“Leslie is a top notch professional dog sitter and I highly recommend her! While I was away she gave me regular updates on how my dog was doing which included pictures and video. When I got back to my home I was speechless - the trash was taken out, my bed was made, and towels were folded and sorted. I felt very secure leaving my dog in Leslie’s care and needless to say I will be trusting her again in the future!”
“Jewel was great with my senior pup, Missy! She even found some creative ways to get her to eat, which I’m still doing because it worked so well. Jewel truly cared and I can’t recommend her enough! I was so nervous to leave Missy behind with someone other than family, but she was great and provided updates while I was away.”
“She is so great with Hank, our rescue dog. Goes above and beyond in walks, playing with him, and taking great photos. So respectful of our home. Hope to use her again!”
“Woody was SO great we with our buddy Shiner! They sent us constant photos while we were away on an 8 day trip while they watched our home/dog. They were super communicative about everything, and even put all linens in the washer/dryer, and tidied up the whole house before they left. You could just tell they LOVE dogs, and took incredible care of our Shiner while we were gone :)”
“Kate was wonderful! Our two crazy dogs loved her and she made them feel so comfortable. She was attentive, communicated extremely well, and took excellent care of our house and dogs. Thank you!”
“OMG! Look no farther. If you want a GREAT Rover experience then Erica is your girl. She gave updates, sent pics, helped in any way possible, communicated often and was very respectful of my home. My dogs literally looked like they took to her quickly- which they never do so this was a testament to her “vibe”. I will hire Erica any and every time I need a dog sitter and recommend you do the same! 10 ⭐️’s”
“Colby did a great job taking care of our dog, who is a bit challenging, for almost a week. He made she got exercise, got treats and just generally well cared for and kept us up to date on everything. Definitely recommend!”
“Amanda was great. She checked in consistently throughout the weekend, sent plenty of updates, and I always felt in the loop. My two cats and dog were all relaxed and happy when I got home, and the house was tidy. Would definitely book with her again.”
“Havana was great! We returned to a very happy pup. Her response time was quick and she followed all instructions. She watched our house and our pup and we will definitely be booking her again!”
Downtown pet parents share their Rover experiences
Paige was amazing with Eddy. She was super communicative the whole time which gave me a lot of peace of mind while we were away. You can tell she genuinely cares about the dogs she watches. Eddy loved her! She was also incredibly trustworthy and left the house spotless, which was very nice to come home to. Would definitely recommend her and looking forward to booking her again!
Jewel is the best! She was so patient with my two dogs, both of whom are very nervous / flighty with new people. My boy shuts down the most and just wants to hide so he’s never let a sitter walk him which limits him to the yard anytime I’m gone. Jewel has such calm and grounded energy and she earned his trust and got him out walking on her first stay. Such a relief, as Kanoa lives for his walks. Communication was great - I got daily updates and photos for both dogs. My home was also immaculate upon return.
Yuliia did an amazing job watching our five-month-old puppy and housesitting for five days/four nights in our apartment. She left our place clean and tidy, and she kept us updated with pictures the entire trip, which really eased our anxiety about leaving. Before the trip, she asked good questions to ensure she knew everything prior to us leaving. Our pup is young and a handful, but Yuliia kept her entertained the whole time. She also takes great photos, which is a bonus :) Definitely recommend!
