“Katie was such a wonderful pet sitter! She took care of our large lab-mix and 4 cats over the course of a weekend. She was quick to respond to setting up a meet and greet and responded immediately to our booking request. During the weekend, she set us updates and pictures so we could be sure our pets were having fun! She helped to ease our anxiety about leaving our one cat who is a "runner"! She even walked our dog in the morning before she left which left the pup calm until we got back home. I would 100% recommend Katie to anyone looking for a pet sitter/dog walker! Thanks again Katie for the organic veggies!!”
“Lydia took amazing care of our dog (and also our house). She truly went above and beyond to keep Basil happy and loved on (especially when Basil unexpectedly had an upset tummy, Lydia slept on the couch instead of the guest bed so she could be close to Basil in her crate in case she needed anything). Her photos and updates were thoughtful and even with the worry that comes with a pet not feeling their best, at no point was I anxious about the care she was getting. We highly recommend Lydia!”
“Kathleen took great care of our senior cat and our home. She navigated some technical challenges with our alarm system with professionalism and good humor. Highly recommend. Will definitely re-book.”
“Allison was amazing with our pittie mix rescue who was a stray for 2 years and can be anxious and skittish. She immediately loved Allison (more so than she even loves us, I was joking with my husband) and even went to sleep while Allison was watching her which is unheard of for our dog. Highly recommend, Allison is truly a dog whisperer!”
“Kathleen helped out last minute with a dog sitting for our girls and we couldn't be happier to have had her watch them. She was really sweet to them and sent updates while we were out of the house so we felt very at ease.”
“Christine is the best! She takes such wonder care of my two dogs and I couldn’t feel more comfortable leaving them with her. I highly recommend her services. We already have our next stay with Christine booked!”
“Ty is super helpful and communicative! And our cat loves him! Cat barely comes out to play with other sitters, but Ty always seems to entice our cat to play, and sends pics. Thanks Ty!”
“Elizabeth was amazing! She was so good with our three dogs and cat. They are a handful and we worry leaving them with new people but Elizabeth put our minds at ease with frequent updates and photos. She stayed at our house and left it cleaner than she found it! She really thought of everything to make sure our late arrival home was as smooth as possible. Would 100% recommend Elizabeth!”
“Evelyn was so wonderful with Sophie! She played with her and sent pictures. We could see that Sophie feels comfortable with Evelyn. We feel very fortunate to have found Evelyn for Sophie!”
“Tyasia was great. She was quick to respond and easy to book. Kaci had a blast with her and I know this because he slept a lot the next day lol. I will definitely be booking again.”
“Emily is great! She sent continual updates and pictures throughout her time house sitting. It was clear that besides regular walks she also spent lots of time hanging out and cuddling with my dog, who is very affectionate and needs the attention. Would definitely book again!”
“Natalie stayed over for several days while I was away and took amazing care of my cat and home. She is so reliable, kind, and professional. I would highly recommend her!”
“Melanie was fantastic!! She gave our very old dog careful attention and living kindness. She cleaned up poop messes and totally accepted all our dog’s senior needs. She maintained very close communication and let us know when she had concerns about our dog’s health. She was amazing!”

Downtown pet parents share their Rover experiences
Kahiyla was so wonderful and communicative. Would rebook 1,000 times again. Even when our pets got sick/ had trouble while we didn’t have service on vacation she was so helpful and ensured they got to the vet and were safe. We were are so grateful to have had her support while we were away.
Alex took great care of my two Great Pyrenees’! Even the most well behaved big dogs aren’t always the easiest to care for in the city & she did amazing with them! I’ll definitely have her watch my boys again!! 😄 I just wish she would’ve sent more photos but that’s just a personal preference!
Lydia did such a wonderful job taking care of our two dogs, Atticus and Adeline! Immediately after meeting them, she was so caring, attentive, and patient with them both. She communicated clearly throughout the entire process and provided regular updates, and we returned home to two very happy doggies! It was such a huge relief to know that our dogs were in great hands while we were away, and we highly recommend her services.
Pre took wonderful care of my house and my two pups. I knew we’d be a great fit from the moment we met, and she went above and beyond during her time with them. She was very supportive and attentive with my girls, and I felt completely at ease knowing they were in her hands. I’d absolutely book with her again!
Sydney did a fabulous job house sitting while we were away. Great communication, had zero issues with timing and let us know right away when our boy was having some stomach issues and continued to update us with how he was doing. Would highly recommend Sydney’s services to anyone!
