“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.”
“Tina is so amazing that we want to keep her all to ourselves! ♥️ But that seems unfair so here you go… 1. Tina is a joy in person. Such a lovely human and easy to talk to. 2. She’s so good with dogs that she was completely unfazed by our big wildly energetic lab. They were immediate best friends and ready for adventure. 3. It’s so hard to find someone who is wonderful with cats too and cat would seem to be Tina’s second language. We came home to a blissed out cat who was energetic, lovey, and even put on a little much needed weight. Tina pays very close attention to an individual pet’s needs and our old special needs kitty is totally in love with her. 4. Pictures! Updates! 🎉 We had a consistent and lovely view of happy pets. 5. We are now calling her the immaculate house guest. Everything, and I mean everything, was pristine when we returned. It looked like a huge team of cleaners had been through the house. What an especially wonderful way to come home. All of that said, do not book Tina! We want her all to ourselves. 😉♥️”
“Christina went above and beyond! She did great with our fearful dog, including when she struggled with the new years fireworks. She made sure she got her medicine, went out & ate enough, and got plenty of love. And she did an equally excellent job with our cats. Would highly, highly recommend for house sitting, dog walking, checking in on cats. Thank you so much!”
“Mochi loves her and appeared very comfortable in the photos while she was petsitting him. She was also really respectful of my apartment and left it really nice. I will definitely book her again!”
“At the last minute, I added a foster dog that had to stay quarantined from Hina. Sky was flexible and patient and did a great job with both my small dog and the big foster pit bull.”
“Tetiana is hands down the best pet sitter you could ever ask for. Took exceptional care of our very needy English Bulldog and sent daily updates. The highlight for our dog was the day trip to the park and Tetiana sent an amazing edited video of their day at the park together. Absolutely amazing!”
“Olivia took good care of both of our furbabies. We came home with them happy and stress-free and immediately knew they were well taken care of. Olivia was communicative and sent cute photos. Truly appreciate it!”
“Stephanie was amazing with Birdie. She was incredibly responsive throughout the stay and easily took care of any difficulties that arose. We could tell that Birdie loved Stephanie by the end of the stay, which made us very happy. She was also very thoughtful and considerate staying in our apartment!”
“Shakira was so amazing with Bowie! She kept to his usual routine including food, medication, and walks. She updated us frequently which made us feel so comfortable. We will absolutely use her again!”
“We had a great experience with Quanece and Malik as our pet sitters. From the start, they were incredibly detailed and attentive - taking thorough notes during our initial meeting and asking all the right questions about our pets (who are both on medications!). What stood out most was their honesty and communication during the stay. They were upfront when our dog didnt have an appetite the first day or so while we were away, which we really appreciated knowing. Their flexibility, especially when we needed them to stay longer, made everything so much easier. We’ll definitely be using them again!”
“Ava is amazing, she took such great care of the house and Beau and the cats while we were away. She was so communicative and professional, and sent lots of awesome pictures. We felt so confident and comfortable being away while she was with them. Five stars highly recommend and will be requesting her for future trips!!!”
“Darina took such great care for my dog while I was away for the day. She made sure she got plenty of outdoor time, even though it was a very rainy day. My dog doesn’t warm up to everyone quickly but she did with Darina! Thank you!!”
“Oliver is a great house sitter/cat sitter. He was easy to meet up with to exchange keys and meet my cat so I could show him my place, and was very communicative throughout the sitting asking any questions he had and of course sending plenty of pictures of my cat as well. I returned to my place exactly as I left it to him, with dishes cleaned and plants watered. My cat seemed very well taken care of and she had plenty of food and water in her bowls. I’d definitely recommend him and will be using him for my next sitting! Thanks Oliver!”
“Areana was great! She was very attentive to my instructions and took care of my babies very well. She kept me updated and was great with the communication before and during the visit. I’ll be happy to book her again!”
“Rachel was fantastic! Very responsible and on the ball and super caring of our cats. One of our guys is older and needs medicine and lots of care. She really made sure he was taken care of and comfortable. She was also super communicative, which I loved; it put my mind at ease! I highly recommend Rachel to watch any of your pets!”
“Jet took phenomenal care of our girls and our home while we were away for a week. I shared how we rarely use a sitter. The girls warmed up to her quickly and she gave gave us daily updates with pictures to let us know they were in great hands! We would definitely book with her again!”
Fairhill pet parents share their Rover experiences
Nick is professional, calm, and very thoughtful in how he approaches both logistics and Lucy, which immediately put me at ease. While I was away, Lucy unexpectedly became sick. Nick noticed her decline and notified me immediately, administered her medication, stayed with her to soothe and monitor her, and communicated directly with the vet to make sure she was okay. I truly felt like she was in capable, caring hands during a stressful situation. He sent daily updates and photos, which meant so much, especially given Lucy’s health episode. His communication is clear and proactive, and he clearly takes his responsibility seriously. I would absolutely use Nick again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable, compassionate, and professional dog sitter.
Absolutely fabulous sitter who truly goes above and beyond. She is incredibly detailed, thorough, and very responsive. I returned to an even cleaner home than when I left and her care for my senior dog is so evident in the way he loves her. He hates to see her leave. Hands down the best sitter I’ve ever had, my only wish is I found her sooner !
Taylor went above and beyond to make our dog Reese feel comfortable and ensure the time went as smooth as possible. She came prior to staying with Reese to walk with him and ensure he was familiar enough with her so when the time came for her stay she wasn't a total stranger! Taylor provided frequent updates and exercised patience when Reese had tummy troubles during the night. We’re so grateful, and will be using her again in the near future!
Stephanie was wonderful! It was the first time I was leaving Zoey with a sitter and Zoey can be leash reactive and has some special needs so I was nervous but she was amazing! She sent messages everyday with pictures so I could see Zoey was comfortable and happy and doing well. Zoey adored her always cuddling with her and she showered her with attention and care! Everything with Stephanie was so smooth so I could easily relax on my trip. Stephanie is a gem!
Kettrell is wonderful with Peppa and always leaves my apartment in impeccable shape! She’s been watching Peppa (not the easiest dog to handle) for a few years now and I feel confident leaving my pup in her care. 100% recommend and will continue to book with her.
Anna did a great job with Bella and was communicative and professional throughout the process including the meet and greet all the way through to the end of the sitting session. She is responsible and trustworthy and I found Bella well adjusted and cared for. Anna was even kind enough to take in an Amazon package without asking. Bella and me thank Anna for making us both feel at ease. We hope to see her again for future sitting sessions!
I have a very difficult, traumatized rescue. He finds it very hard to trust new people, and is very reactive to strange dogs. For the last five years it’s been really hard for me to go anywhere because a boarding situation would freak him out, and most dog sitters aren’t willing or able to be patient and gentle enough to get through to him. Oliver was our answer. He has a sweet, patient energy that not only Jack but my other dog and cat also love. I finally feel like I have an option now to occasionally get away, and travel for work. Thank you, thank you, Oliver!
We couldn't have asked for a better experience! Justine was incredibly conscientious and took wonderful care of both our dog and our tortoise. She kept us updated with pictures throughout our trip, which really put our minds at ease. Whenever she had a question, she communicated promptly and clearly. We came home to a clean, organized house and a calm, happy dog who clearly felt comfortable and loved in her care. The spontaneous photo updates she sent were such a thoughtful touch and made being away so much easier. We highly recommend her and would absolutely book with her again!
