“Amelia was fantastic. We will 100% be booking with her again. She took great care of our baby while we were away and took amazing care of the house. The house was cleaner than when we left it. She took pics daily and gave us a daily report. We are so lucky we found Amelia to watch our Willow. Thank you so much, Amelia!”
“Courtney is fantastic and was able to help me out with an evening walk (last minute) as well as sitting for my Shiba during the week I was out of town. My place was exactly as I left it, and I came home to a happy Shibe. Courtney was great with communication and overall super easy to work with. Would absolutely recommend.”
“Nyree was an amazing sitter for my little guy! She made me and my pup feel so comfortable and confident about the stay. I was gone for a week in Europe and Nyree sent me daily videos and pictures. Not only was my dog happy and healthy when I got home but she left the condo immaculate! Definitely will be using Nyree again - she’s a 12/10!!!”

“Leaving our energetic standard poodle with Jessica felt like we were leaving him with a close friend. We were away for two weeks and we didn’t worried about him once. Jessica kept in touch just the right amount and from her texts and photos we could see that Charley was get plenty of exercise and love and he likes a lot of both. We and Charley look forward to having her dog sit again.”

Downtown East pet parents share their Rover experiences
Kelley did an excellent job with Ryely! She followed all our instructions perfectly and we come home to a clean house and happy pup! We appreciated Kelley’s communication throughout the process and will definitely be reaching out for future needs.
Rachel was amazing! She organized a meet and greet with us and our pup prior to us being out of town. She sent updates and provided great care to our puppy.
Tatiana, hung out with our crew of 5 sighthounds (whippets and greyhounds) at our AirBnB for 12 hours when we were in town for a family wedding an hour away. It was too far to drive back and forth during the day, so knowing someone was there to feed them dinner, potty them and let’s face it … watch them nap 😂 was a relief and allowed us to enjoy my step daughter’s big day. Tatiana was thoughtful, calm and accommodating to the needs of our crew. She cleaned all their dinner bowls and food containers and we came home closer to midnight to a calm crew of doggos. We can’t thank her enough and hope we have another reason to need her next time we come to town with everyone. ❤️
Jade stepped in at the last minute to stay with and care for our 3 pets - 2 dogs and a cat. It was clear from the moment everyone met that our pets felt immediately comfortable with Jade, which is always a good sign :) Jade sent us regular updates and was a great communicator. Thanks, Jade - you're the best!
KaShonna was a great pet sitter! She watched our cat Luka for a week+ and we felt so happy knowing our kitty was in good hands. We appreciated the daily photos and her letting us know about a water backup in our apartment. KaShonna left our place super clean, too. Will definitely book again! :)
Hannah went above and beyond for my little dude!! I left town for a month and Hannah watched him for three weeks while I was gone. He loved Hannah! Hannah was super helpful and took great care of him, even consulting with me on some ways to help out his hairballs. Hannah was a trooper and prioritized Morty's health and well-being even when the power went out at my building for a day during a heat wave. Hannah is communicative, caring, and great at what she does! I look forward to having her sit for Morton Salts again the next time I have to go out of town.
Nyree provided multiple daily feedings and attentive care for Olive. She responded quickly to any communications and did a great job taking care of her while we were away.
Anya went above and beyond! She did a phenomenal job and we would absolutely recommend her. We hope to use her again for next sitting. Extremely responsive, always gave us updates, and did more than we asked for. A+
Emily is great! Amazing communication and sent lots of pictures too. Emily is so kind and truly cares for our dogs. We had peace of mind while we were away couldn’t recommend her more!
Alisha is a wonderful communicator and was so helpful in being available to offer last minute pet care for Lola and Blossom. She is active and kept my energetic and friendly (read, hungry for attention while awake) dog exercised and entertained. Would definitely have sit again!
Did a great job watching our dogs and rats! Very punctual over text and answered any questions we had!
Carolyn was such a lovely warm pet mama to our Moo & Goo, exactly what we were looking for! So happy to have found her!
I left my two dogs + home in Brittney's care for about a week. Brittney was super easy to work with, on top of things, thoughtful, and responsive to my pups' needs. Would recommend!
Olga and Natalia are truly so wonderful! Our dog has pretty significant anxiety issues and they navigated them so well. They have both been very responsive with sending photos and keeping us updated.
Pete had another great weekend with Kortney! And I’m thankful for her help! She’s friendly, communicative, sent updates and photos, and I came back to a happy dog and clean home! Hope to have her help again in the future!
Marykay did a great job watching our dogs. She stayed at the house with them the entire time and kept a careful eye on the one who needs constant vigilance in order to stay safe. She also watered all my outdoor plants which was enormously helpful and I appreciated coming home to a clean house, as not all sitters I’ve had have cleaned up after themselves. She was very responsive and sent updates and pictures several times a day. Would recommend!
Coco is amazing!! Thank you so much for taking great care of our girls (and extended fam). We'd be glad to have you back.
As usual, Amanda took really good care of Mable and our home while we were away. We came home to a tidy house and a happy pup.
