âLiam was great. Showed up right on time and took great care of my dog. Very attentive towards her. Puppy was asleep when I came home, so great to see. Definitely recommend him!â
âThis is my second time booking with Camille. My pets are always incredibly well cared for and receive the best updates so my mind is always at ease! 100/100 would book again!â
âRenee was great with our dog Winnie! She sent lots of photos, updates and was flexible on the timing of our sit. Winnie has some anxiety that Renee managed with patience and understanding. We will definitely have Renee sit for us again!â
âVeronika is amazing!! We have an older dog who requires medication and she was wonderful with her. Sent us so many updates, pictures and videos. I think our dog was actually sad when we returned because Veronika was so good to her! Will definitely be using her again! 10/10!â
âLeChar was great - she and my dog, Marshmallow, bonded immediately, leaving me confident she was in good hands. I got pictures and reports of their activities while I was gone for three days, and Marshmallow seemed very loved and well-taken care of. I look forward to having her back for a future visit!â
âRyan did an excellent job taking care of my little pup. He took the time to really understand what he needed from the initial meet and greet, took notes and demonstrated care and interest in my dog, and was always very communicative. While watching him, he provided daily pictures of him and my dog playing, along with progress reports and updates on how he was doing in general. Communication was always on point. Ryanâs care for my dog, Scotch, really helped me focus on my vacation knowing that Scotch was in really great hands.â
âSecond time using Alinda! Sheâs the best and she takes such good care of my animals and my house! Will always request her if sheâs available. Highly recommend Alinda for all housesitting and dog sitting!â
âJamie was very responsive and had great communication! He was patient with my nervous dog and took time to let him warm up. He left the house clean and in good condition and we will be happy to have him back!â
âKatiri is easily the best Rover sitter weâve ever had! She stayed with our two very high energy dogs while we were on a trip. Loved the photo and video updates and the dogs seem like they enjoyed their staycation with a new friend too. Will be booking again!â
âRyan was great - very easy to work with, flexible, and a good communicator. He clearly enjoys caring for pets and I knew my dog was in good hands and had a good time with Ryan. 5 stars!â
âOur Emie has been well cared for by Chris! Chris provides good walks for Emie, regular updates for us, and the house is spotless on our return. We will be contacting Chris again!â
âJasper did a great job with our 11-year-old Tibetan Terrier, Schicchi. He looked happy and healthy when we got back from our 9 day journey and we appreciated the photos Jasper sent. The house was in good shape when we returned and Jasper had obviously done some cleaning before we got back. Thanks very much!â
âReally enjoyed meeting Rylie. Very easy to communicate with. Took really good care of Nikko. Sent me lots of pics and updated . Would not hesitate to have her care for Nikko againâ
âHeather did a great job with Ollie and was flexible when a medical issue flared up. She took extra care with our plants during the heatwave and left the house tidy.â
âTony did an awesome job watching our pup while we were away. He sends great updates and photos and we knew Bowie was in good hands the entire time we were away!â
âOur dog and cat who can both be a bit picky in who they like both immediately gravitated to Andi! We came home to happy fur babies and clean space and appreciated the clear communication. We will be reaching out to Andi the next time we need a sitter.â
âMikayla was a fantastic sitter for our senior dog over the holidays! She was super communicative and kind. Our dog was so calm and happy when we got home, traveling can be hard on her so we really appreciated having someone at our place. She also took good care of our space and everything was just as we left it and super tidy. I would highly recommend Mikayla for her pet sitting needs!â
âAlexa is a great communicator and very responsible. We have booked her twice now for house and dog sitting. She is great with both our senior dog and his meds and our active beagle.â
Edgewater pet parents share their Rover experiences
Grace is amazing!!!!! She stayed and took care of our 12 year old pup who is not the easiest. He takes some time to warm up and has all the senior pup complexities but Grace wasnât even phased. She has so much experience we loved having her stay at our place with Truman and will absolutely book her again!
Vlad was an incredible sitter for our puppy and our home. He was highly communicative and followed all of our instructions. Our dog was even better behaved when we returned after a week than when we left her! Vlad was also incredibly kind to agree to stay for 4 days longer when our trip got extended due to a family emergency. We were so grateful for his kindness and support with our dog and will definitely be booking with him again!
The people and the dogs in our household look forward to having Anthony come and stay at our home! It is so heartwarming to see how our dogs respond to Anthony and how he takes such an interest in their well-being. He spends a lot of time with them and gives them his full attention at home and on walks. They are a senior pitbull pair who can be a little clingy, and he manages to keep them entertained and happy. As a bonus, Anthony is very tidy and does little favors for us, like collecting mail/packages and even shoveling snow! I highly recommend Anthony for dog care in the home or walks.
Jalena did a great job with my two boys. Especially with my senior boy who needs to take medicationâs throughout the day. Itâs very important for me to have someone that takes good care of them. She was responsive and left my place clean. I will definitely use her again.
Had Kaira do a four night stay with my 80 lb pup and she did a great job! Kaira was responsive, provided detailed and regular updates, flexible with whatever I threw at her (last minute updates and requests for chapo while I was gone), responsible, clean, reliableâŚall the good things! I trusted her in my home and my pup really seemed to like her. I hope to book again in the future!
Courtney was so wonderful to have! She was extremely accommodating and responsive with a last-minute request and a half ready apartment. She was on time and provided updates and pictures and I was told that my dogs adored her! I definitely will be using her again.
Dune had a great long weekend with Kirin! She has quickly become his favorite sitter - taking great care of him in the cold, providing plenty of pics and updates, and leaving our apartment better than I left it! Thanks, Kirin - Dune canât wait to see you again!
Landon was fantastic. He took incredible care of Faye while we were traveling, and it was immediately clear she felt safe, relaxed, and genuinely happy with him. Heâs attentive, responsible, and clearly loves what he does - Faye is completely in love with him, which says everything. We came home to a calm, well-cared-for doggy and a house that was exactly as we left it. We wouldnât hesitate to trust Landon again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for truly excellent care. â¨â¨â¨â¨â¨
