“Leslie did a great job sitting Nash! By the pictures she sent you could tell he was having a great time at the park. Thanks for watching my baby over the holiday!”
“Kimberly, you are amazing! THANK YOU! Paws was super happy and well taken care of when I got home. You were patient with him and his "senior-related quirks". I am always apprehensive, and anxious when I have to leave him, especially because of his age. Your frequent updates, pictures, and videos alleviated a lot of my anxiety. I deeply appreciate that you took good care of my home and even tossed in a couple of loads of laundry. I would HIGHLY recommend Kimberly and will use her again in the future.”
“Muhammad watched our cat over a long weekend and it was clear the two of them had a wonderful time! He sent us lots of pictures and videos, which were really nice. I’ll definitely rebook in the future!”
“I hired Linda to take care of my 9-month old kittens for a long weekend. She was a prompt communicator (which I greatly appreciated) and did a good job helping the kitties to feel comfortable around her. As a bonus, she and left everything very clean, and just as she found it.”
“Laxmi is amazing. She took care of our cats for 3 straight weeks and things couldn’t have gone better. She is sincere and clearly loves animals. Our cats loved her and I am sure they will be a little sad that their time with her has ended. For now. Because we’ll definitely call on Laxmi for our cat sitting needs again.”
“Satine was great. She was highly communicative, responsive and took the dog all over town! I have rarely seen Zorro happier in his photos. Satine left my home sparkling clean and Zorro was relaxed when I found him. I look forward to working with her again”
“Raquel was incredible and SO helpful. Our boys had the best time with her and she sent great video and photo updates of them. She was also super helpful when it came to a weird situation with our neighbor. We will absolutely book with her again!”
“Joe dog sat with us for 4 days at our home. We met him up earlier to make sure he and Nala were a good fit. Throughout our trip, he was kind, reliable, and responsive. We are so happy to have had him. Nala did great with him!”
“The kitties were very calm when we returned, and we assume this is because they had great company in Cameron. Cameron stayed overnight for the weekend and we'd do it again!”
“Laura took great care of our senior pup, Ginger, while we were away for the day. She gave us consistent updates from walks and meals, and we returned to a contented pup.”
“Joao did such an amazing job with our cat Sterling. He was very friendly and sent us updates often, which I appreciate. He truly loves animals and I could tell that sterling was happy when we got home and well cared for. I would definitely hire him again!”
“Christine is MAGICAL. She's your dogs fairy dogmother and absolutely is the next best thing when you're not available to be with your pets. We have 3 senior dogs and 2 cats and she gladly cared for all of them while we were out of town for our wedding for 3 weeks! She spoiled us with photos and videos daily and took care of our mail and packages ( we had literally a ton of heavy packages come for our wedding and she was kind enough to carry them in the house for us daily. Christine managed all of our dog quirks with ease. One of our dogs has issues with urinary incontinence due to a medication she takes and can't hold her pee. We have pee pads all over the house and let's just say Christine was doing laundry daily for this reason. Because she pee's in the house our other dogs have gotten confused and also do so at times but Christine was on it! She works from home and was basically available to them at all hours of the day, taking them on fun adventures and giving them all the kisses and cuddles that we couldn't. One of our dogs is on several medications and when Christine realized I had not left enough portioned for her, she didn't bat and eye and offered to portion them out for me and even left some for when we got back! our girl is often fussy about taking her meds and Christine was patient trying different methods to get her to comply daily. Christine problem solves and manages problems well and with our crazy bunch we were so relieved to not have to worry. Also she left our house cleaner than it was and fixed our back door that was unknowably broken when we left. We're so grateful to have found our new sitter for life <3 I've been at this game for a long time and she is 100% the best.”
“The furbaby seemed happy and well cared for, my place was clean, and Nicole was super responsive. I also really appreciated the extra time for a meet n greet. Would have loved more pics or daily updates but A+!”
“Femke was the best! She clicked with Fernet immediately and from the photos she sent, he spent most of our trip on her lap :). Femke was incredibly communicative and made sure we had daily updates with photos and videos of thier adventures. Would definitely book again!”
“Brooke was a great caretaker of our dog Reilly! She stayed at our home with him, was very attentive and kind, and took him out on some great outings. She also did some training with him which we asked for and appreciated. Highly recommended!”
“Regina is the best sitter! She always sends lots of updates with photos and videos. Our puppy loves playing with her and she is exceptionally taken care of. She also is a lovely houseguest. 11/10 highly recommend.”
“Vivian was a fantastic sitter to our 3 pets while we were traveling. She watched our 1.5 year old dog and 2 cats for a week and we couldn't be happier with the experience! Vivian provided very timely updates and took great care of them and our home while we were out. We will definitely want to book with her again.”
“Julia was amazing! My pup seemed so relaxed and content with her. He wasn't even all that excited to see me.when I got home, which is huge for a pup with mild separation anxiety! Julia followed all my instructions, kept me updated throughout, and took greatbpictur”
“Erica has been a kind and attentive sitter for our cat, Cheetah. They immediately connected, and it was clear from the start that Cheetah felt comfortable and happy in her care!”
Excelsior pet parents share their Rover experiences
Jessica was wonderful with our 8-year-old Lab, who tends to be reactive with new people at first due to anxiety. From the meet and greet, Jessica was calm, patient, and let her approach in her own time — no rushing, no pressure. That patience made all the difference, and our girl warmed up to her quickly. She followed our feeding routine and supplement schedule carefully, and kept us updated throughout the stay so we never had to wonder how things were going. On top of that, she took wonderful care of our house — everything was spotless and exactly as we left it, and it was clear she respected our space as much as our dog. We found our girl relaxed and happy when we got home, which says everything. Highly recommend Jessica for anyone with an anxious or senior dog, or anyone looking for a sitter they can trust in their home. We'll definitely be booking with her again.
Christine stayed for several nights with our two dogs and two cats and it was a great experience. Our dogs have very different energy levels, as well as personalities, and Christine knew exactly how to manage both our senior dog and younger dog (and the cats!). I felt totally secure having the animals in Christine's care and peace of mind when I traveled. We would absolutely book with Christine again.
Laxmi was so wonderful and sweet with my dogs. I really appreciate her patience with my dog being anxious when I leave. She figured out what worked best to calm him down, and got him to settle and nap which was a gift to me :) Laxmi is also excellent at communicating before & during the appointment. Thank you Laxmi!!!
Vivian did an amazing job taking care of our cats, especially Reggie, who is urinary incontinent and needs his bladder manually expressed 4-5 times per day. She demonstrated tremendous patience, care, and persistence in learning how to care for him, and was super punctual and communicative about completing the bladder expressions and letting us know. The boys also had a blast spending time with her — I think they had more fun than we did! We couldn’t ask for a better sitter — we feel so lucky to have found someone we can trust with our special needs cats, and we’ll be booking her again very soon!
Logan was a lifesaver. We needed an emergency pet sitter for our dog Wally, and Logan was extremely responsive, professional and kept us updated throughout our very stressful weekend. It felt so relieving knowing Wally was being well taken cared for. Would work with her again and highly recommend her!
Hannah was such a wonderful sitter for our two pups Cooper and Benny! They seemed so comfortable and happy the entire time we were away. Hannah was very communicative and sent so many photos. I would 100% recommend Hannah, and plan to ask for her support again!
