“Our dog seems happy and well cared for and the house is clean and very well looked after. Tommy even cleaned the things he used and left the house looking very clean! We would love to use him again!”


3. Hannah M.


“Hannah was fabulous with my doberman. His anxiety does not allow me to board him and Hannah was a perfect fit i will definitely use her again!”


4. August S.

“August was a wonderful caregiver to our 2 mid-sized labrador mix dogs, one 12yrs, one 6yrs. August slept in our home during our family's wk long vacation. They provided several walks a day, fed, medicated and supported a relaxing, consistent environment for our beloved pups. Our older dog required medical support while in Augusts' care. August maintained conversation, with health updates with our veterinarian and myself which allowed me peace of mind while we were traveling. August was able to set up and manage playdates and excursions with our friends for our 2 pups. August left our home and our pups in perfect shape and I was very grateful for their presence. I highly recommend August and will absolutely use them again.”


5. Timothy W.

“We were so happy with Timothy’s communication while watching our pup and he was extremely flexible when our plans changed last minute and we had to stay another night. We look forward to having Timothy back in the future!”


6. Kristi V.

“Kristi was amazing with our crew !! She knew we had just taken in our Gracie as a rescue pug and gave her all the extra love and snuggles that she needed to feel safe and loved ....she spent lots of extra time in our home to ensure they didn't feel our absence even working remotely at our place which was great for our pugs/cats. She kept us informed of daily events and sent lots of snuggle snaps which made us feel better. Kristi even left us homemade biscotti for our return home. I can say with full confidence that Kristi is motivated by love of animals and helping others...we will most certainly hire her back to our home for all our Rover needs :)”


7. Amoreena W.

“Amoreena was wonderful with our two high-energy pups! This was our first time booking a house sit, and Amoreena put our minds right at ease. Super communicative with lots of pictures/videos/updates, which was so appreciated! Our golden actually had an unexpected medical emergency come up while we were away, and Amoreena acted quickly, calmly, and professionally with great care for our boy. Would absolutely rebook and recommend Amoreena!”


8. Cammie M.

“Cammie watches our dogs while we were away for the weekend and did a great job! I messed up our door code access and she was very patient while I sorted it out remotely. Dogs were content when we got back and the house was clean!”


9. Rachel L.

“Rachel was wonderful with our Maggie! She was very responsive to our text messages and also so flexible with our schedules and everything involving our dog. She stayed in our home with Maggie, and we returned to our house the way we left it. We highly recommend Rachel for your next pet sitter!”


10. Nicholas M.


“Nick was great in watching my dog, Remy, for over a week. He stayed at my apt, left everything clean, and made significant efforts to make Remy feel comfortable when I was away. Initially, I was nervous to leave my dog with a stranger but Nick's communication throughout his stay made me feel at ease. Would highly recommend his services to other dog owners.”


11. Darian H.

“Darian was amazing, all we could hope for and more in a pet/house sitter! She was a somewhat last minute find but she was great to work with and we are so glad we found her! We would totally book her again as it’s clear she took great care of our boys and was a great communicator! Always appreciate that.”


12. Jacob M.
“Jacob was a pit sitter for our dog Myth many times. Myth is a friendly chocolate lab, who was about 3 years old when Jacob looked after him. Myth got all the attention he needed! We felt very good leaving Myth in Jacob's care from regular feedings, walks, and playtime. We also appreciated Jacob's attention to other details (like taking out our garbage on garbage day!), and was very easy to communicate with. We recommend him highly.”


13. Cassandra D.

“Cassandra was an excellent sitter. My two babies were well taken care of and happy. She sent us updates, pictures and videos. In the video, you can tell how much my babies felt comfortable and well cared for!!”




14. Ralph C.

“Ralph was wonderful and took great care of our new laser dog, Zoey. He shared updates everyday while we were on vacation as well as assisted with watering our plants throughout the house! Ralph shared daily photos and updates about his time watching Zoey! We highly recommend Ralph and will plan to work with in the future!”


15. Susan C.


“Susan was wonderful! I was so nervous as our pet sitter had a family emergency and I turned to Rover. I met with Sue and my dog and her hit it right off!!! She kept me informed and sent photos. My house was left perfect! I would not hesitate to hire her to watch my pet!”

17. Audrey S.

18. Kenny I.
“Kenny is so great and very reliable! I had a dog sitter all set up with a family member but an issue came up and they could no longer do it. I asked him with a few days notice and he was more than willing and able to do it. I was gone for 3 days and he provided me photos and videos of our dogs playing together at the park and going on walks. He kept me updated with texts and photos which was so nice for me! He is someone I can always reach out to for help and trust!”


19. Michael S.
“Michael helped to take care of my 2 cats and 2 dogs. He did a great job with all of them. One of the cats needs eye drops and he was able to do this without issue. He took the dogs on long walks and played fetch with them. He was able to stick to the feeding schedule and didn't overfeed my pets and was there close to agreed upon times to make sure the dogs didn't have any accidents. He was very responsible and took great care of all the pets.”


20. Becca V.

“Becca took excellent care of my old gal Bella while I was at a 4 day dog show. I will definitely rebook her when she’s home from college. I highly recommend her ?”
