1. Paz L.

“Paz was very thoughtful in her care of our pets while we were away. She took careful notes about all of our animals needs and communicated well with us while we were away. It was awesome that she shared a lot of cute moments of our pets when we were missing them. We highly recommend her :)”


2. Clement U.


“Clement took care of my cat and dog over a holiday week. He was communicative and enthusiastic about my pets. Such a pleasure to have him house/pet sit!”


3. Kai & Devon S.

“Kai and Devon were amazing pet sitters! They took very good care of our dog and communicated well. This was our first time using Rover for pet sitting and Kai and Devon were great. They sent pictures as well. I wouldn’t hesitate to book them again!”


4. Elena F.

“Elena was an absolutely wonderful sitter for my pup Duke! She was communicative, easy to work with, and made leaving Duke home just a little bit easier. I would definitely recommend her to anyone who is interested!”


5. Quanece & Malik T.


“Quanece was great with my 4 month old puppy, J’Rome! She’s patient and well experienced. She sent lots of updates and picture/videos throughout the day. I would highly recommend!”




6. Jessica S.

“Jessica is so amazing. She was fabulous before and throughout the stay keeping us informed. She was totally organized & professional. And when we got stuck in a hurricane and couldn’t get home, she handled everything and made my life simple by ensuring my dog was well taken care of for TWO extra days.”


7. Madisyn K.


“Madisyn is an amazing person to watch any and all dogs! She is not only an excellent Rover, she also has completed several trainings and has an eye for dog behavior and anxiety. Our dog is very anxious, leading to big distrust of new people - Madisyn was not deterred and met him where he was at. She was communicative and trustworthy with giving our pup meds and taking care of our house. She followed instructions that we left her to the tee. She left our house incredibly clean and we had no concerns about her taking care of our home and woof! Can't recommend her more!”


8. Rachel S.

“Rachel was great with our Mia! Really responsive and sent lots of photos. Happy to have found a sitter who spends lots of time with her! Mia can’t wait for the next time she spends with Rachel!”


9. Laura S.

“Laura did a fantastic job with our three fur babies! We came home to happy and healthy pets and a clean home. Thank you so much! Will use again.”




10. Marisol G.


“Marisol was wonderful house sitting for my White German Shepherd Wolf during an extended trip I recently took that included some challenging communication issues due to my remote location (no cellular). She responded through WhatsApp and reassured me daily that all was well. She took the job on short notice and was an absolute pleasure to interact with, and asked questions for clarification of anything that she was unsure about. I appreciated that, and her excellent care of Wolf.”


11. Maddie T.

“Maddie is an amazing dog walker and sitter! My dogs love her and she was always sending pictures of her and the doggies while we were out of town! We would definitely use her again.”


12. Christina M.
“Christina was so great with our greyhound, Minerva! Christina stayed at our home and gave us daily updates. Minerva was happy and calm when we returned home, so we know she felt comfortable with Christina. We would book her again in a heartbeat!”


13. Deanna M.
“I honestly hit the jackpot with DeAnna. She’s everything you want in a dog walker and sitter—friendly, responsible, and clearly someone who loves what she does. From day one, she was so warm and easy to talk to, and my dog took to her immediately (which is rare for him!). She’s super communicative, always sends the cutest photos and updates, and goes above and beyond every single time. Whether it’s an extra belly rub, making sure my dog’s water bowl is topped off, or just checking in to see how things are going, DeAnna consistently delivers that extra level of care that makes all the difference. My schedule can be a bit unpredictable, and she’s been incredibly flexible and accommodating. It gives me so much peace of mind knowing my dog is happy and in such great hands. Seriously, if you’re considering booking DeAnna—DO IT. She’s a total rockstar, and your pup will fall in love with her just like mine did!”


14. Brandi W.

“Brandi took wonderful care of our pup. Our Millie girl has gotten to know Brandi and loves when she comes to “visit”…we can’t thank her enough for the peace of mind we have when away from home as our dogs are in great hands”


15. Maia W.

“I was hesitant about letting someone stay in my home, but I had only recently gotten Seven and so didn't want to disrupt her routine or her adjustment to her new home. Maia was very patient and understanding of all of my crazy dog mom requests and honored all of them. She worked on Seven's commands with her and even taught her something new - Touch! She walked me through what she did to teach her and Seven still remembers what she learned! Would definitely book again.”


16. Amberleigh D.

“Amazing experience, tons of detailed updates and pictures throughout the sit. I felt so confident that my pets were being cared for well while we were out of town for the weekend 😊”


17. Alexis A.

“Alexis was wonderful! She stayed at my house to watch Marley, and she gave me the updates I needed and the care was perfect. I will definitely be using Alexis again.”


18. Rachel Z.

“Rachel is great with a large puppy Molly. She sends us lots of photos and is very responsive over text. Can't thank her enough.”


19. Kimberly H.
“Kim has been watching our dog Frankie Baby, who is an American pitbull/American bulldog mix for the past two years. From our weekend trips to our full week vacations. Frankie baby was a recuse dog who was abused, Kim is so gentle and caring with Frankie that it puts her at ease. I never have a worry when Frankie is with kim, I know she is in good hands. Frankie loves seeing kim and has no problems when Kim cares for her. While walking, Frankie even tries pulling me to Kim’s house just so she can say hi! Thank you Kim for always taking great care of Frankie!”


20. Autumn L.

“Autumn did an excellent job watching my boy Tank! He can be a handful sometimes but I could tell he was in great hands with every photo she sent! He was definitely a happy boy when I came home! I will not hesitate to contact Autumn again when I need a sitter!”
