“Alyssa was great! She offered to come by to meet our fur babies ahead of time to make sure they would be comfortable! She followed our list to a T and then some! We will definitely book her again when we go out of town next! Thank you again Alyssa!”
“Lavinia could not have done a better job looking after Ollie for 4 days last week! She communicated really well throughout the week, was super punctual, and went above and beyond as far as any request we made. Ollie had a fantastic week and we are looking forward to Lavinia taking care of him again! Thank you again, Lavinia!”
“Deja was an excellent sitter for my dog! I was very nervous to leave my reactive dog with someone for a week while I was across the country and she did a great job! Very thorough and gave daily summaries and pics, came back to a spotless home and a happy dog”
“Draco spent some time with Bethany this past weekend. She was amazing. Communicated amazingly and sent a ton of photos which I appreciate. I was super nervous leaving him but it seem like it went really well and he was happy when we got back to get him. We will be leaving him for 10 days coming up and after this past weekend it has put me at such ease knowing he is going somewhere he is loved and cared for.”
“Emily did a wonderful job with our dog Laurent. He is a very picky eater and has some quirky behaviors but Emily managed it all beautifully. It is such a relief to have someone we can trust with out pet and pur home.”
“We had an absolutely fabulous first experience with Ona staying in our home and watching our kitty Mira while we were in Bermuda for two weeks. What a great communicator!! And she was so willing to do all kinds of extras that come with a large home and land—including putting out corn for our wildlife friends and making sure our gardens didn’t wilt in the unexpected heat wave. Our kitty absolutely adored her, and she wants us to go away again soon so that she can snuggle and play with Ona again :) Thank you for everything, Ona. It was a joy to have you watching over our home.”
“I recently used Alicia for the first time, but it certainly will be the last! She took care of my dog and two cats for a week. My dog is a rescue who can be nervous around new people, but Sadie warmed up to her, and Alicia sent me lots of pictures of the cats on her lap, and Sadie sitting right next to her. That’s all I needed to know to know Alicia was great at what she does. The house was clean when I returned home, and everyone was happy. I highly recommend!”
“We were so happy to have found Kelli to watch our beagle and 2 cats while we were away for 5 days. Her communication was great, with many updates and pics, and we came home to happy pets and she even washed her sheets. Would definitely have her sit for us again!”
“We were so pleased with Carla's communication with us and, more importantly, her time with our pups. The dogs were happy when we got home. The house was in great shape. The overnight linens were washed and dried - WOW! What a great first time experience with Carla and with Rover!”
“Nikole was amazing!!!!! She took care of our favorite child, our mini- schnauzer, watched our cats and fed all 90 of our fish in our fish tanks while house sitting for a week. She updated us multiple times a day, sent videos, photos, and was clear with communication. She took great care of our house shoveled our driveway without being asked and left it in tip top shape. We walked in to a clean home with soft music playing on the tv with videos of dogs playing to keep our pop occupied. She travels with our highest recommendation and we plan on using her all the time moving forward!”
“John was amazing. This was the first time we had a sitter for our 10 month old lab and he made us feel so comfortable and relaxed about the entire experience. He helped train our dog and made him comfortable when we were gone. We can’t wait to ask for John to help us in the future. He is very knowledgeable and passionate about dogs. Lucky to have found him.”
“Emily was a fantastic sitter for our two cats and dog. This is our second time having her stay with our furbabies and we always know they are in good hands when she’s with them. She’s very communicative and provides us updates, which is so appreciated! She’s our go to Rover when we are out of town!”
“David is the first sitter we have used on Rover for our dogs and cat, while we were away for the weekend. He is phenomenal; our nervous pups took to him immediately and I got pics of relaxed, cuddling dogs - and our GSD is not typically a cuddler so this was even more remarkable. All the pets were calm and happy when we came home. He took great care of our home as well. We will definitely rebook! We are very happy with his care.”
“Nina was a great sitter for our three dogs. Even before the booking and meet/greet, she asked questions to get to know our dogs and their routines. She’s very thorough and detailed. Nina communicated throughout the stay with pictures and updates on how they were doing. She kept the house clean also. Would recommend and book again!”
“Portia is the BEST with my zoo. She's always willing to walk Norman and snuggle the kitties. She's attentive and on time, and will gladly rebook her for future visits. I can rest easy knowing I have someone in my home that I can trust.”
“Ricky did an amazing job taking care of our three dogs in our home! We have already booked him again for next month and as long as he wants to continue staying with our little pet family, he will be our first choice!”
“My dog had an amazing time with Maggie! She sent pictures and videos every day and let me know how my boy was doing. Highly recommend and will be booking with Maggie again in the future.”

I had a Rover cancel last minute and Lauren saved the day by being very flexible and communicative. I usually like to do a meet and greet beforehand but the timing wouldn’t allow it given our calendars and the short timeline. Lauren made herself available to text and I felt comfortable leaving my home and pets in her care. She sent pictures everyday and I came home to a very kind note. Hope to book her again and would recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter!
It was such a relief having Hannah sit with our dog while in Rochester for an event which required our absence for long stretches of time. She was flexible with our schedule and sent us a video of how he settled in after we left. She carefully considered our requests and made suggestions based off of her knowledge of the area so that our dog would have an optimal experience - much appreciated! We are very happy with the care that she provided and will definitely request her again whenever we are in the area. Thank you again, Hannah!
John was fantastic with our pets. We have two big dogs - one with some separation anxiety and the other is dog-reactive. He took excellent care of them and was exceptionally communicative and responsive - all the things that allowed us to enjoy our weekend away and know that our beloved pets were in good hands.
Maria is amazing! We have been repeat clients because she always takes great care of our dogs, and they absolutely love her! She provides us with at least a couple check-ins daily and plenty of photos to show how happy and well taken care of they are while we are out of town ☺️
I can’t recommend Izzy highly enough! She took exceptional care of my dog and cat while I was away. My dog can be a bit reactive, but Izzy handled her with calm confidence—walking her two to three times a day and playing enriching games to keep her engaged. She also made sure my cat was well entertained (even using a tablet!) and administered her medication with no trouble. When my flight home was unexpectedly canceled, Izzy rearranged her schedule and stayed an extra night without hesitation. It was such a relief to know my animals were safe, happy, and not alone during what turned out to be a stressful trip home. Izzy is reliable, caring, and clearly has a deep understanding of animals. I’m so grateful for her and wouldn’t hesitate to book her again.
Nina was a great sitter for our three dogs. Even before the booking and meet/greet, she asked questions to get to know our dogs and their routines. She’s very thorough and detailed. Nina communicated throughout the stay with pictures and updates on how they were doing. She kept the house clean also. Would recommend and book again!
Emily went above and beyond in caring for our pets! She frequently communicated and sent pics. The animals looked well loved and happy giving us peace of mind. She also took care of unexpected problems with our pool and home without worrying us about it until she had found solutions to keep our stress low. She is the best!
Annaliese made an initial visit with Chester to get to know him. Chester is 14 and has mobility issues so we talked about his requirements while we were away for about six hours. We were impressed with her approach to Chester - he's sometimes protective when visitors come into the house. They got along great! It turned out we had to cancel our plans so we didn't need a sitter. However, I wouldn't hesitate having Annaliese as a pet sitter.
I have booked Emalee for overnight dog sitting a number of times now. She is my go to when I am out of town and I want to rest easy knowing my pup is well cared for when I am gone. Thank you for treating her like one of your own. Not to mention the updates are so reassuring to get. Emalee is so respectful of the house and the space going above and beyond to make sure things are left tidy!!
Helen was wonderful with our puppy Ayla and treated her like one of her own. We really appreciated the updates and adorable photos, it gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It’s obvious that she’s a dog lover and is fantastic with animals. We would absolutely recommend her to everyone!
