“Anthony was awesome with my animals. He took them for walks, gave them plenty of treats, and lots of attention. I always worry about bringing a new sitter around my rescue German Shepard (he is not the best around strangers) but Anthony came in confident with no fear and reassurance that everything would be alright. To calm my fears Anthony sent lots of pictures and videos of my boys while I was away which made me even more happy to have made the choice to go with Anthony. I will definitely be using Anthony in the future you can bet on it.”


“This was our first time using River to house sit and take care of our dog, Zoe. We were very pleased!! He spent quite a bit of time with Zoe, was very attentive to her, and sent us lots of photos while we were gone. As other pet owners know, having someone you trust to stay with your beloved baby is a necessity for worry-free traveling!!!”


“We feel so fortunate to have found Lauren. We didn’t worry about the pets at all while we were away. They were happy and well cared for. Lauren will certainly be our first choice the next time we need to go out of town.”


“Lauren responded quickly to my request for a week-long stay at my house with my two rescue dogs. She brought along her dog, “Nala” and my sometimes cranky border collie had a great week playing with her. Lauren noticed my grass was tall and asked if she could mow-yes! I was happy to come home to a house that was clean and neat, with linens washed (!) and dogs well cared for. I will definitely be asking Lauren back!”


“Danielle did a great job house and cat sitting. She asked questions for clarification, sent us updates regularly, and left the house in great shape. From the photos, it seems our cat was really comfortable with her and Elle took the time to get to know our cat’s personality. She will be sitting for us again and I highly recommend her.”


“Claire was great with my Maizy! I got picture updates daily, she left my house clean & tidy, even felt comfortable to do a meet & great with a neighbor when they were out walking!”


“Lauren took good care of our boys while we were away, was accommodating with our needs, and kept us updated throughout. Will definitely keep Lauren in mind for future pup sitting needs.”

“The process was smooth from start to finish, with our dogs being well cared for while we were out of town. We were completely at ease with Mandy in our home, and it seemed our dogs enjoyed themselves even more in our absence.”


“Olivia was an amazing caretaker for my 10yo dog Charlie while I was out of town. I’ve never used Rover before and was nervous to leave my dog in the care of someone else whom I didn’t know well. Olivia calmed all of my anxieties by being quick to respond to messages, sending me pictures of Charlie throughout her time with her, and paying attention to the details I sent to her about Charlie. Olivia is very trustworthy and I’ll definitely be reaching out to her again when services are needed in the future!”

“Pria did an excellent job dog sitting for Butterball! She was punctual and dependable, and even took Butter on a one-hour walk when I requested it. I received regular updates and photos of my dog while I was away. Pria also made the effort to meet with me before taking on Butterball. I highly recommend Pria to anyone using the Rover app.”


“Alivia took good care of our pets while we were gone overnight. Three pups and two cats can be a lot to manage when they all have their quirks and issues. She was communicative and sent us pictures. Would recommend and we’d book her again if needed!”
