Savannah did great with our two dogs and six consecutive overnights. She arrived on time and there were no issues. We will definitely be using Savannah again!

This was our first time using Rover for house sitting and it was worth it! Taryn is so sweet, she kept us updated on our pets and sent us plenty of pictures. We had a meet and greet prior to booking but of course my pets loved her! I knew my babies were in the best hands and look forward to booking with Taryn again! ?

Heather is amazing! Right away my mind was at ease with having her stay with our pup. Our dog was relaxed and happy upon us returning and I know she was well taken care of and enjoyed her time with Heather. Will 100% be booking in the future 😊

We truly appreciate David’s care of our pup and home while we were away. He followed instructions to a T and was proactive with communication. We loved the routine updates and pictures, especially seeing that Bailey was getting his walks when weather allowed.

Michaela was wonderful to work with. She watched my dog and my parent’s dog for a couple hours because we didn’t want to leave them unattended. She sent adorable photos of snuggles and play time with the pups. She was great to communicate with and seemed to be very comfortable around the pups right away. Would highly recommend!

Marchauna was amazing! She responded very quickly to a last minute request for a weekend house sitting with overnight stay, and with 3 pets to boot! She was very understanding of our puppy's nightly routine of a 3am wake up call, not to mention having to supervise playtime and literally herd cats from room to room 🤣 Marchauna is also very knowledgeable on puppy training techniques, and she gave us a lot of helpful advice. 10/10 would recommend!

Andrew is a godsend. We've had him to sit for our Rhodesian ridgeback and our Staffy twice, for 4 days and 10 days, respectively, and we have both times come back to 2 happy and healthy dogs, who looked at us like we had only been gone a short while. They had neither gained stress weight nor become too skinny, and we could tell Andrew had been diligent taking them out frequently. He had mixed in their favorite food toppers and given them their medicine as we asked. He is a kind person, and you can tell he thinks deeply about things, and people's and pets' feelings. He even swept and tidied up, got our mail from our mailbox, and had our packages all neatly inside. He is as the proverb says, a good traveler who leaves no mark, leaving our house exactly as, if not better than, he found it. I can't say enough about the peace of mind Andrew has given us, especially the second time, since we already knew we could trust him. We were able to go to Disney World and have a truly magical time because we knew he was caring for our dogs and our house as we would have done.

Moria cares for my animals ( 2 dogs and 4 cats) when I go out of town. This will be 4-7 days at a time. While Moria watches my animals she plays with them, grooms them, walks them, feeds them, and sends lots of pictures to me so I can see them. Moria will even FaceTime if asked, or sometimes offer, if it’s been a long trip. I would recommend her services! My animals absolutely love her.

This is the 2nd time Mercedes has dog sat Obasi. She is my go to. I wouldn’t want anyone else outside of my family to watch him. She’s caring, playful and patient with Obasi. She’s a great communicator as well, providing updates as often as you may want them. Although with her watching him, there is less stress and no need to check up on him daily.

Christine S is one of few individuals that I can honestly say is the very epitome of kindness. She is also the only person I trust with watching my dog when I need someone to. The relationship she has with her dog, chocolatè, can only be described as a motherly loving relationship. The bonds she builds with both people and animals are both amazing and a mystery. I believe the bonds she builds with both pets and people is a trait, all owners of pets, including myself, should aspire to obtain and develop.
