“Kathryn is a gem! What I loved the most is that she thought about everything that an owner may want to have peace of mind while away, asked the questions to validate and understand in our meet and greet and then delivered on it. Kathryn was detailed and communicative when it came to her approach with the dogs, and how she managed her time with them. She took them on a field trip! She was conscientious in how she left the house and stayed with the dogs until I returned. I know the dogs were well taken care of and I didn't worry or ever have to initiate contact because Kathryn was so on top of it. Five stars!”

“Orianne is the best! She is so sweet, caring, calm. Madeline was comforted while we were out, which means the world to us. Madeline was happy to see us, and we could tell she was relaxed. Orianne will be our first call should we need a pet sitter again!”

“Katie watched our pups on a recent trip we took and everything went great. She gave us regular updates and pictures, took great care of our animals and house, and we hope to book her for our next trip! We really appreciated how she communicated with us and how happy the animals were in her care!”

“Christine made sure Scout had a fun day - Scout was tired all day the next day, which was a bonus! :) We always know Scout is in good hands when she's with Christine.”

“Fantastic kitty sitter for our two snuggly kitties. Kim came and watched our home and our cats for 2+ weeks while we traveled abroad. She was extremely responsive and communicative during the trip, letting us know how everyone was doing. Upon our return our house was very clean and tidy, kitties were happy and looked well taken care of. We could not have been more thankful for her taking such great care of everything. I would highly recommend her and her adorable puppy!”

“Hayley did an AMAZING job with my fur kids. I could not ask for anything better. She communicated well and made sure both my cat and dog were happy, healthy, and well loved ? My dog is wheelchair bound, which was a new experience for her, but she did a perfect job with him and I was so at ease with her being there. She was also a wonderful house guest and left my apartment as clean as when I left! I’ve had some bad Rover experiences and some pretty good ones, but I have to say that Hayley has been the best. I will 10/10 be calling on her again!!”

“Daniel took great care of our dog (and home) while we were away. He was flexible and communicative when there was a 12+ hr power outage, and went great lengths to ensure our dog was taken care of during these unforseen circumstances. We arrived home to a happy and healthy dog. Teddy looks forward to his next "Boy's Weekend" with Daniel!”


“Veronica took great care of our pups and home while we were away! She provided regular updates and pictures to let us know how everyone was doing. And she very graciously tidied up the house before she left. Our pups can be a handful, especially our puppy Leo who is very energetic and mouthy. But Veronica took it all in stride and was very patient with them. We returned to three very happy pups! We will definitely be booking with Veronica again!”

“Michelle was amazing! She got along very well with our cat crew. Very responsible, responsive, and accommodated last minute tweaks to our schedule. Will definitely be using Michelle again.”

“Tenisha did a great job with my senior dog. Good communication throughout my time away. She was able to administer his medication twice a day. Very reliable. My dog was very relaxed when I got home. Highly recommend! Thanks Tenisha.”

“Kylee was just fantastic! She asked the best questions to ensure she knew all she needs to know about our pups. She was very communicative and shared lots of photos. I felt extremely comfortable having her in my home with my dogs and knew they were in good hands at all times. I will 100% be using her more in the future!”

“Tim took great care of our pet. He was very attentive with everything I said for taking care of our dog and cat, and made sure to send pictures so we knew that everyone was alive. He was very responsive when our plans for time were up in the air. Would definitely recommend Tim and ask him to watch our pets again :)”

“Moxy and Shannon are absolutely wonderful. It is always hard to leave the pets, but I knew they were in such good hands the whole time I was on my trip. Both my dog and cat have needs that require extra love and care, and Moxy and Shannon not only took amazing care of them, but also checked in and sent lots of pics. They also went above and beyond, leaving the house looking better than when I left. Humongous thanks to both of you!”

“Christina was incredibly responsive and showed our dogs lots of love while we were gone. One of our dogs doesn’t usually eat when we leave but Christina made her feel so comfortable that she ate all her meals. We received updates regularly while gone in addition to Christina making sure our home was taken care of. Highly recommend using Christina!”

“Deborah accommodated a last minute house sitting booking for us for a major holiday. She is friendly and communicative. She provided plenty of updates and photos. She was attentive to the med schedule and changes in litter box habits for our cat, as well as appetite changes in our dog. She safely handled our dog when there was another loose dog in our neighborhood. She was respectful of our home and most importantly loved on our pets while we were away. Thank you Deborah! We will be booking with you again.”

“Morgan was fantastic! She was so sweet and kind to my pup. I greatly appreciated the daily updates and check ins. Will definitely book Morgan for future overnights. Thank you for taking such great care of my girl :)”

“Thank you so much for taking such great care of my babies! I am so grateful for your attention to detail, thorough communication and picture updates! Highly recommend Jeannie and will rebook ❤️”

“Andrea is a great caretaker of pets and homes. She followed all directions and even cleaned up when one of my elderly cats didn’t make it to the litter box. She washed all the bowls and left them for me, as well as taking out the trash and making sure the cans ended up in the recycling. I will definitely book her again!”

“Claudia is the best! She took great care of our pup and provided great updates. This was our second time with Claudia and we already have another week booked with her. Book with confidence!”

“This was my first time using Rover. Tara housesat for me over 4 days. She came over to meet my Amstaff, Zoey, before booking. I really appreciated that time to get to know Tara a little, since I have never left Zoey with someone I don't know—and she is a 12-year-old dog that needs to go out to pee often. Throughout the stay, she sent photos and thoughtful updates, which was comforting to see/know that Zoey was in good hands. I came home to a happy dog and the house was left clean and tidy. I absolutely trust Tara with Zoey and my home—and will definitely book with her again!”

Karalynn cared for our dog and 2 cats while we attended a wedding out of state. We cannot thank her enough. Karalynn is communicative, loving, and hard-working. She incorporated all the care plans we left for our family without a hiccup. And she sent some really cute and funny photos! She honestly made the entire experience of leaving your family at home easy. Thank you so much, Karalynn.

This was our first time leaving our dogs with Vivian and she was wonderful! Our dogs really connected with her, including one that's a bit on the shy side. She left our home in great shape, is incredibly responsive, and sent photos and updates along the way that put my mind at ease. Highly recommend her!

Molly took wonderful care of our two cats: administering medications, playing, and giving them time and attention. Molly has a wealth of experience with animals, and is patient and thoughtful. We came home to two happy, healthy cats, and we’ll be booking with Molly again for our next long trip. It’s a huge relief to find a pet sitter that you trust completely!

Richard was fantastic! He took wonderful care of our two Frenchies and our home while we were away for a long weekend. It was clear that the pups were comfortable with him and got plenty of love, attention, and care. Richard was reliable, communicative, and made us feel completely at ease knowing everything was in good hands. We came home to two happy Frenchies and a clean, well-cared-for house. We’d absolutely have Richard house sit for us again and highly recommend him!

Fantastic human being who will love your pets like they are her own. Lucia was an amazing communicator, knowledgeable, and all around awesome. I don’t want to write too good of a review because then she will have too many clients!!! Anyone would be lucky to have her sit for them!

Leo did a great job taking care of our two dogs while we were out of town for a week. He sent lots of updates and pictures and they were happy and well cared for when we returned. He was also glad to help with bringing in mail and packages, which was a lovely bonus.
