“Monday took great care of our beagle, Luka! Sent updates and pics. Luka has separation anxiety so it’s important we find a Dogsitter who is patient and understanding. We highly recommend Monday!”
“Celeste watched over my 3 cats and our home while I was away. She followed all of the care instructions and was very communicative. The updates were great and all of the cats were happy upon return. Thanks again!”
“Freddie is a special dog who is very selective about the humans he allows in his orbit. He is shy and fearful, it takes him some time to warm up to strangers. Imani did a wonderful job being patient and gentle with him, she provided just the right amount of warmth and fun in his daily play. I came home to a very happy little dog.”
“Cody did an incredible job at taking care of our cat and our apartment—he sent updates (and pictures) as well so i knew that Bug was well taken care of. it provided me a lot of ease of mind while we were away for two weeks. we will definitely be using him again in the future! thank you Cody!!”
“Scott took amazing care of my shy lab and crazy cat They both were so happy with him and were well taken care of. I appreciated the regular updates and came home to a clean house and happy animals! I will definitely book Scott again!”
“Dillon went above and beyond for Toby. I couldn't recommend him highly enough. He was so accomodating and cared for Toby like his own. He put his comfort, safety, and happiness as his top priority and was so eager to help with Toby's reactivity.”
“Skyler was great! Did an amazing job taking care of our pups and keeping the house in one piece. Communication was on point, sending updates each day. Would definitely rebook in the future. Highly recommended!”
“Kirby recently took our dog on a few walks, and then dog-sat and house-sat. She took the time to get to know our sometimes sensitive dog and follow our detailed instructions. We returned home to a calm, happy dog, and the house was in great shape. We look forward to working with Kirby again.”
“I just moved back to Portland and was looking for a house sitter for my sweet little old lady, Pearl, and had a few upcoming trips planned. Danny was very communicative, always prompt and was more than willing to help with an unexpected medical need. Pearl was well taken care of and I'll happily work with Danny again.”
“Kayla was a wonderful sitter for our cats while we were away. She was very good about communicating while we were away and our cats were very happy with her. Would be very happy to have her take care of them again!”
“They had such an amazing attention to detail. Eli went above and beyond for my dog and cat, with extra play time and lots of cuddles. So lucky to have connected with them.”
“After another sitter bailed on us, Kai came to our rescue!! Kai followed all of our instructions without any problems, seemed super patient with our silly frenchie and his antics and left our place nice and clean! Thank you so much Kai for all of your help!!”
“Erika took great care of our dog Marshall while we were away for 5 days, we got pictures daily and she was quick to respond, he was a happy boy when we got home. You can trust your animals will be left in good hands booking with her.”
“Elizabeth always does such a fantastic job caring for my kitties and I appreciated that she was flexible in connecting with another Rover sitter since my away time had to be accommodated by not just one, but two Rover sitters! I already have her booked for another sit later in the month. She is very attentive and communicative and I know my cats are receiving the best of care. She gives me great peace of mind when I leave town and does such a wonderful job.”
“Robert took care of my five creatures over the weekend. He was very reliable, staying until we arrived home for a pass off. He did well with our dog’s big energy and our cats need for a calm presence. I’m convinced the house is as clean if not cleaner than when I left. He was responsive with updates and photos. He was able to give my cats their meds despite their best efforts to avoid or dissuade him. I will absolutely be reaching out to him again, the next time we need someone to stay with our animals.”
“Susan was such a great sitter for my two pups! She is very communicative and was attentive to their individual needs. I am so appreciative of how she cared for them while I was away and will definitely welcome her back any time!”
“Ann was great to work with. She clearly has an understanding of the process and knew how to keep things both friendly but also efficient. We will definitely reach out to Ann again.”
Downtown pet parents share their Rover experiences
MacKenzie was fantastic with our pups and our house. He checks in regularly and sends the cutest pics. House was clean and well taken care of during his stay. Pups were happy and healthy upon our return! It is hard to to leave our dogs on long trips but we felt at ease knowing MacKenzie was taking good care of them.
Have never used a service like this before. Always used friends for my dog. Dillon was excellent. He accommodated by staying at my house, took Harry on walks, even out to lunch and let him enjoy the backyard on a sunny day. This worked out better than expected. Thanks to Dillon!
Aubrey did a great job of taking care of our kitties and our house. She sent updates and photos daily, which gave us peace of mind, especially because it was our first time working with her. When we came home the cats were happy and the house was clean. We'll definitely try to book Aubrey again in the future!
When you have a high energy dog, it is not always easy finding a sitter who understands that kind of breed. Yaakov not only reassured us but he took incredible care of our pup! This was the first vacation in two years where I felt I could completely relax and trust that our pets were in good hands. Upon our return it was evident that they were very well cared for, as well as our home. We will absolutely be using Yaakov in the future and will be recommending him to friends and family!
Anna helped watch our dog Buddy while my wife and I were busy for the day. She was very responsive and accommodating with the fact that Buddy was sick. She was very attentive with Buddy and he seemed to enjoy her company! She made sure to take him out often to go potty. She made sure to keep us as informed as we wanted. I would definitely recommend Anna and we will have her return if possible!
Amanda took good care of our big dog and our home while we were away. We had a meeting beforehand to discuss our dog’s needs and Amanda asked good questions. We had good communication while we were away, and the house was in great condition when we arrived home. Thank you!
Santy is an exceptional dog sitter. They were attentive, kind, and took wonderful care of Chico while we were away. Even when we had a minor hiccup with the house key handoff, Santy went above and beyond to make sure Chico’s routine and needs were fully taken care of. Throughout the entire process, they were communicative, reliable, and calm in what could have easily been a stressful situation. I cannot recommend Santy highly enough.
Alex was a wonderful house/cat sitter! She is clean and followed all instructions for my pets. I really appreciate the regular photos sent to me, as well as updates on how the cats were doing. 5 stars, and I’ll absolutely be booking with Alex again in the future!
Monday did an excellent job of watching my two pups! They were on time, sent us great pictures and extremely communicative. One of our pups is kind of a handful and the other is on meds and Monday had no issues handing either. You can absolutely book with them with confidence that your pets will be taken care of and loved!
Ann was always on time, reliable, and made sure Muffin got his medication and followed his daily routine. This was our first time using Rover and leaving him at home. He’s very attached to us and has some separation anxiety, but Ann made the whole experience easy and comforting. We appreciated the daily updates, had total peace of mind and would absolutely book her again. Highly recommend! 🐾💛
