1. Gail B.

“I’m so appreciative of Gail’s care and attention of my pups. One of my sweethearts had a poop moment and needed a bath to resolve. Went above and beyond, not only taking care of my girl, but also to make sure the house was clean and tidy. Thank you! :)”


2. Katy R.

“Katy was excellent. She provided great updates and our dogs were happy and well taken care of. She did a great job with our puppy, who can be reactive to people when he first meets them.”


3. Camille W.

“Camille was amazing! My 2 dogs instantly bonded with them and seemed to be well taken care of throughout the sitting. Camille kept my apartment very clean and even washed some dishes! 10/10 would recommend!”

5. Jenny D.

“Five stars all the way!!! This was our first time using Rover and we loved it. Jenny was wonderful.

We’ll definitely asker to help us again, and will recommend her to our friends and family.”

“Kate helped out last minute for a sit and really helped me out in a pinch. She sent pics and was very quick to respond to any messages. Would highly recommend and will definitely save her info to book again”




9. Anthony R.


“Anthony is extremely conscientious about our house and our dogs. Our two pitbulls are 10 (Alex, 80 lbs) and 13 (Taffy, 60 lbs) so they require the right caregiver to manage their walks and interactions. He genuinely connected with Alex & Taffy and it felt like an extension of us while we were away. It was very reassuring to know that they were in safe hands and were receiving so much attention and affection. Anthony provided excellent communication throughout his stay with photos that really captured how our dogs were handling the time away from us. Our home was spotless (including doing some laundry!) and Alex & Taffy were calm and happy when we returned. It makes us feel so comfortable with planning future trips knowing that Anthony is caring for them and our house.”


10. Katiannah S.

“Katiannah stayed in our place for a week and did a wonderful job with our pup. she was quick to respond to messages, provided pictures, kept us up to date on the house and we came back to a house that was clean and just as we left it. would highly recommend katiannah for house sitting!”


11. Andre H.

“My house was left as clean as I left it! My babies were obviously well cared for, and Andre was so kind when I wanted to check in. I wish all of my care experiences were this good. One of my babies had to take a pill, and is highly suspicious, and he got her anti-inflammatory in her!”


12. Colin C.

“Colin watched our pup over the holiday weekend and stayed at our place. He was on time, extremely caring, clean, super responsive and communication was great. We will definitely use him again and highly recommend!”

“Sydney did a great job of taking care of our baby girl! She took care of things around the house. The house looked great when we came home she did a fantastic job definitely went above and beyond!”


14. Sonya F.

“2nd time with Sonya and once again she took excellent care of our pup. Lots of pictures and updates to make sure we’ve a stress-free experience while away. We feel very lucky to have found someone as responsible and attentive as Sonya!”


15. Elliott H.

“Eli was an excellent dogsitter for our senior reactive dachshund with medication and other medical needs. Eli was an amazing communicator. He asked questions and stayed in touch with lots of pictures and updates throughout our vacation. We returned to a clean apartment. As an anxious dog mom, it was such a comfort knowing our pup was well taken care of. Would definitely recommend!”




16. Lisa T.

“Lisa was everything we could have hoped for taking care of our little guy. The communication was great and she really did care for him while accommodating our slightly obsessive points. I feel better about leaving town now that we have found Lisa. Six stars!”


17. Jinni B.


“This was our first time using Rover or booking Jinni. She did an excellent job. Our Airedale Terrier, Vesper, was well taken care of. She provided regular update and photos. The house was left in perfect condition. She did not hesitate to reach out about questions or clarifications - but she was also very respectful of our time away. Our flight was delayed returning to Chicago, and without having to ask Jinni offered to stop back over to make sure Vesper had another change to go out before bed which provided nice peace of mind. I look forward to rebooking Jinni on future stays and would highly recommend her to others.”


18. Christopher P.

“Chris was so great! He stayed in our home and was great at communicating throughout the time we were away. We are watching an older family dog and he was great with her! You can tell he has a passion for pets and his presence makes anyone feel comfortable. 100% recommend.”


19. Jasmine V.


“Jasmine did an awesome job! I could instantly tell how kind and attentive she is with pets, especially having a leash reactive dog. My dog and cat were very comfortable with her and I could tell they had a great time under her care. She’s very thorough, taking notes on the meet and greet and sending many updates with pictures during the pet sitting time. It put my mind at ease that my pets were in the best hands. I couldn’t recommend her enough! I know my pets are excited to see her again too!”


20. Kaitlan P.

“Kaitlan was fantastic! She was great with my dog Frankie, who (although super sweet) can be a handful. Lol. He's reactive to other dogs and I worry when leaving him with a sitter overnight. Kaitlan didn't miss a beat with him! The meet and greet went great (he loved her). The next day I woke up to messages, pictures and videos that put my mind at ease. I highly recommend and will definitely use her again.”
