“Char and Ben were fantastic pet sitters for my two Danes. It was obvious from the meet and greet that they had experience and were very comfortable around X-lg dogs! The communication and photos were top notch. My dogs are quirky and Char and Ben were able to work with them on their picky eating and fear of the floor register. The Danes were very content when I came home so I knew they had gotten their needs met while I was gone. Bodhi is now moping around as he misses his new buddies. Highly recommend them and will definitely use them again.”
“Erika was a wonderful cat and house sitter! Her communication was excellent from the start - she kept me updated with regular messages and photos, so I always knew how my cat Mitten was doing. She was very accommodating and genuinely cared for Mitten, who clearly adores her and was so happy in her care! Seeing Mitten so loved and comfortable while I was away gave me such peace of mind. I highly recommend Erika to anyone looking for caring and reliable pet care.”
“Scott was communicative and provided great care for our pups! He came and met the dogs ahead of time, which was really nice. He was very easy going throughout the whole process. Thank you!”
“I am so grateful to Sparkle for taking such great care of our pooch and our home. I contacted Sparkle months before our 3-week vacation and we set up a few appointments to help Ozzie get comfortable and to make sure Sparkle was cool with him. All worked well and we had a great 3-week-long vacation! She was responsive and professional, and left us with a freshly vacuumed home and sheets in the dryer (I did not request this).”
“Emily did a great job house sitting and caring for our sweet dog. She gave us regular updates with pictures and looked after our apartment. We would definitely use her again!”
“Shannon went above and beyond taking care of our two dogs and cat while we were away for two weeks. She left our apartment immaculate and we came home to happy, relaxed pets. She sent us pictures and updates and was very responsive. She even figured out our fancy litter box when it jammed. Would highly recommend and would definitely use again!”
“Lucinda took great care of our home and pets while we were away on vacation. She was prompt in responding to our texts and sent plenty of updates and photos. We will book with Lucinda again!”
“Val is wonderful. She took such great care of our chihuahua and our home. Great communication and such a sweet and solid human being. The daily update with pics and videos was so valuable and provided us such peace of mind. Thanks so much Val! We’ll be calling you again!”
“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!”
“Ann took wonderful care of our dogs and home. She is an excellent communicator and is clearly an experienced, competent dog sitter. We definitely plan to book future stays with her!”
“River was great! Very communicative and happy to send pictures/updates throughout. She generously accommodated some scheduling snafus between us, and additionally was happy to come meet him before the trip to ease into things. Importantly, she was happy to ask questions as needed. Our dog requires patience and exhibits some odd (charming) traits, and she was happy to learn how to accommodate a dog like that and get to know and meet his needs. While our dog was happy to see us, he wasn't overly relieved we were back, either :)”
“Dey was a fantastic house sitter, so easy to work with, and took great care of our dog. Not only was Dey super responsive, but I think my house was cleaner than I left it.”
“I booked Helen to stay at my place and cat sit for 4 days. She communicated well, provided consistent updates, and took great care of my cats and my place. I had peace of mind for my trip. Definitely recommend!”
“Elizabeth spent 10 days at our house with our two dogs. She was fantastic in every respect. Lots of communication and pictures. She was obviously great with our pups (they told us as much when we got home) and the house was cleaner than we left it. Highly recommend.”
“Clark took excellent care of my two dogs and communicated well throughout the entire process of booking and the stay itself. Thank you Clark, hope you’ll come back and see Daisy and Ziggy.”
“Can’t say enough about you! Thanks for loving my sweet boy and for keeping me updated throughout my trips with pics. Not just that but you always go the extra mile…changing the sheets & leaving my place spotless. Arriving after a midnight flight to fresh sheets feels so nice.”
“Tyler is one of the best Rovers I have ever booked! He followed all of my care instructions and kept me updated on how the dog was doing. The photos he sent me made me feel at ease. I will definitely book him again!”
“Meagan was great! It was a last minute booking during a holiday week and she just jumped right in. Poppy was feeling pretty spirited and Meagan was able to calm her down, get a harness on her. , and take her for a walk. Also, great communication!”
Downtown pet parents share their Rover experiences
Anna was a good communicator, asked great questions, and took good care of both my pup and my home. My border collie, Alsea, is super high-energy and Anna seemed to handle it well. The house was clean and Alsea was tired (in a good way) and well-adjusted when I got home. I will definitely call Anna again for future pet sitting needs!
Madeline could not have been more excellent! I felt so comfortable leaving my cat Sunday and apartment in her hands while I was out of state for a week. She made sure to send me pictures and updates daily and left the apartment clean upon my return. She was professional, kind, and loving to my cat! I will definitely book her again in the future!
Madison stayed at my home with my cat for a couple of days and was a wonderful sitter; she asks all the right questions and really goes the extra mile to understand your pet’s unique needs and preferences. I came back from my trip to a happy and relaxed kitty and a clean house, and am looking forward to booking her again!
This was my third time booking with Jordan C, and once again, he exceeded expectations. He is consistently professional, reliable, and incredibly attentive. Jordan C took amazing care of Kitty Kitty and kept me at ease by sending multiple updates with photos of their walks and downtime together at home. It’s clear that he genuinely cares about the pets he looks after, and that level of attention makes a huge difference. On top of that, he left my place just as clean and organized as I left it, which I really appreciate. I’m so grateful to have found Jordan C on Rover. If you’re reading this review and considering a sitter, look no further—Jordan C is absolutely amazing. Highly recommend!
Emily has been nothing short of amazing. I have a senior dog who takes scheduled meds, not my apartment isn't particularly low maintenance, and she's been wonderful. My dog loves her, and she sends daily updates. She was thorough in making sure she had everything she needed to care for my baby and my plants and I haven't had to stress a bit while I've been away. Would recommend her a million times over again.
Wonderful amazing human and pet caretaker I am so impressed with how much detail Elizabeth takes care of everything! She made Clauneck feel so welcomed and happy and he gets bad anxiety and she didn’t leave until I got home because he was anxious and she made him so happy the whole time! She made the house cleaner and the cat tree even nicer!!! She added nice touches to make my apartment even better for him a little scratching board too! 10/10 she is worth it and more I’m so happy Eli thank you for EVERYTHING I’m looking forward to future sits knowing I can work and not worry so much about how my cat is feeling while I’m working!
