“Rico was well cared for and very comfortable with their care. This was my first time having an in-home sitter and I am more than happy to both hire them and recommend them to other people.”
“Jini took amazing care of my kitties! She was super communicative, did a great job giving injections to my diabetic cat, sent lots of cute photos, and left the house immaculately clean. Thank you so much for all your hard work!”
“Kymberlee is wonderful and was so attentive with our two big dogs and two cats. We received updates and silly photos of the animals. Even though we had to change plans due to the snowstorm, she stayed flexible and kept us updated about everything. We would highly recommend her!”
“Jayme was a good house sitter and took good care of our dog and cat. Jayme updated us daily with texts and pictures, and answered questions promptly. When we returned our pets were happy and our home was just as we left it. If we need a house sitter/pet sitter again, we will reach out to Jayme!”
“Shannon was great and took really good care of Lady! She sent pictures and was very communicative the whole time. I could tell she really cared for Lady while she watched her.”
“Mark was very attentive and caring towards my two dogs during a weekend trip. He easily managed their routine and won the heart of my very anxious chihuahua. Highly recommend!”
“John was so very courteous and kind to help out our family at the last minute due to my mom's hospitalization. He was very understanding of our need to be with my mom, and did a wonderful job of caring for Sherlock, our English Setter, who is such a total couch potato. Turned a stressful experience into an much appreciated family time with my mom.”
“Kelli did an amazing job for us! We have one dog who is on meds and has epilepsy, Kelli made sure he was taken care of. She let our boys have a lot of ball time! Highly recommend her. She left our house clean and our dogs were very well cared for during our trip.”
“Michele was wonderful! She sent plenty of photos and was very communicative. I really feel like she enjoyed the time she spent with my Fitzgerald, and I think he feels the same 😊 I’m happy to have her back to care for him any time!”
“They were absolutely great with watching my little yorkie. Before the sitting they were very diligent about setting up a meet and greet. During the meet and greet we did a practice walk and went over the stay. During the stay they were so sweet and kind to my girl. At one point my yorkie wasn't feeling well and they took my yorkie to the emergency vet and stayed there with her until I could get there. I highly recommend!!! They are a wonderful and caring sitter.”
“Christina was wonderful and we were so grateful that she took such good care of our two senior beagles while we were out of town. She is awesome !!!!”
“Mirren was a dream. During our meet and greet, she was attentive to our directions and sweet to our pooches. She communicates well and often and wasn't afraid to ask questions. I really appreciated her easy going manner and ability to deal with unexpected hiccups. We would definitely use her again!”
“Russell was very responsive and sent all kinds of photos and updates for Marra. He also worked through the initial awkwardness with Marra and made she she got lots of walks and love.”
“Mark was amazing with our dog, going above and beyond with him when we were out of town. We have a high energy dog and mark took him on several long walks. He was really great about sending photos too! And he took great care of our cat , checking on her multiple times . We look forward to working with him again soon!”
“This is Andrew's second time with Stephanie pet sitting and I know it will not be his last! He was calm and clearly well-cared for when we got home. Andrew is blind so it's not easy for him to have new adventures but Stephanie kept him occupied with massages, games and lots of affection. He is not crazy about taking walks but Stephanie somehow got him to take a 45 minute walk! She sent us detailed updates and funny, adorable photos. I feel very comfortable with Stephanie. We were able to take our trip without worry. Plus, the house was beautiful when we got home.”
“My cats have never been so calm and happy when I return home from a trip. A’layza always communicated with me, sent me daily pictures of my fur babies, and left the house cleaner than it was. Highly recommended A’layza!”
“Wow! I have nothing but AMAZING things to say about Audrey-Anne! From communication to kindness, she made me feel as if my dogs were in the best hands while we were away from home. Not only did we come home to the pups happier than ever, but our home looked and smelled better than we left it! Would not hesitate to book her again!!!!”
Downtown pet parents share their Rover experiences
Kymberlee was absolutely wonderful with our dogs, Deacon and Parker, during the 16 days she stayed with them. This was the longest we had ever been away from them, and she made us feel completely comfortable knowing they were in such good hands. Her communication was excellent throughout, and she sent us pictures while we were gone, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was clear from the beginning that she truly loved our dogs and that they loved her too. She went the extra mile to make sure they were happy, comfortable, and well cared for, from giving them treats to taking them on walks just to sniff and explore, which they love. She even let them sleep in bed with her, where of course they took up most of the bed space. She was also very patient with Deacon, who still has a lot of puppy in him, and even tried to help him practice some manners. We also really appreciated that she was thoughtful about not leaving them alone for more than a few hours each day. We are so grateful for the care, attention, and love she gave Deacon and Parker. We would absolutely recommend Kymberlee and would be thrilled to have her watch them again
Gabriyela was everything you could ask for in a sitter at our home - she was professional, attentive, and communicated every day sending pics and updates while we were gone, and she left the house completely spotless. I could tell our pup was a happy girl to be able to stay in her own home and be cared for by Gabriyela. We will 100% be looking forward to booking with her again!!
Macy is a standout! We have used her services multiple times. She tenderly takes care of our large male Rottweiler. She watches over our house and takes care of all types of stuff while we are away. If you need a professional, honest, timely dog walker/caregiver. Look no further! Book Macy ASAP!
Emily did a phenomenal job watching my dog and home while I was gone for a week. I came back to a spotless home, content dog, and not having to worry about anything as I decompress from travels. She sent frequent pics and updates. Would book Emily for pet sitting and/or walks again! Thank you!
Juliet did a wonderful job taking care of our Poppy while we took an extended vacation. She kept us updated throughout the trip with adorable pictures of Poppy, who always looked very happy (especially on their walks!) and content. The house was very clean and organized when we returned. We would highly recommend Juliet and will definitely ask her to take care of our girl again.
We had an amazing experience with Hallie as our housesitter for our two cats! They seemed to really love her and showed her affection immediately. She sent such cute photos and updates to put our minds at ease. We can tell that she made sure our two cats were fed, loved, and stimulated every single day! On top of the great cat care, she left our place spotless. Highly recommend!
Nicole was amazing! She was flexible with me on a short notice and quick stay, took great care of my zoo (2 dogs and 2 cats with their fair share of issues!), and left my house in better condition than I when I left. We will absolutely be asking her to stay again :)
Michele did a great job with Mac and took excellent care of my home as well. Great communication and probably the only Rover sitter I’ve used that leaves my home cleaner than she found it. First time using her for overnight sitting and will definitely use again.
Julie did a great job taking care of our cat pepper! She sent thorough updates and followed all instructions. She also took great care of our place and left it clean and tidy. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a responsible and communicative pet sitter.
