“We couldn’t be happier with how things went with Amoreena. Our very nervous pup did great in Amoreena’s care and the pictures she sent throughout her stay let us relax and enjoy our time away. We will definitely be booking Amoreena again!”
“Riley is great! He met with our Poppy girl and even with her being such a leash reactive dog and very shy, he chose to sit her. I’m so grateful for him. She did great with him and he was giving us updates regularly. Thanks Riley!”
“Adrianna stayed at our home to watch our two dogs at our cat while we were out of town for several days. She kept us updated daily with messages and pet photos, giving us great sense of peace that our home and pets were looked after. Thank you again for your wonderful service, Adrianna!”
“We had to go out of town for a week for our wedding. As it can already be a stressful time planning a wedding, Emalyn kept us updated every single day with a picture of our dog and ensured she was doing great, giving us a peaceful mind for our big day. Emalyn did an absolutely amazing job. I have a pitbull rescue that is very hyper and Emalyn made sure she had her full attention and playful times with her. I will definitely book Emalyn again to watch our dog again!”
“She was so amazing! Leah loved her so much I dont think she was as happy to see me lol She sent photos very often and i never wondered how Leah was doing.. Shes awesome and We will definitely be using her again in the future.”
“Diana was fantastic and we would 100% book her again. Our two dogs took to her quickly at our initial meeting, which put me at great ease. She stayed in our home for 3 nights with our 11 month old puppy and our 14 year old dog. They both have completely different personalities and needs. Diana sent us videos and photos of the dogs, and little updates each day. The house was also well taken care of and looked as if no one had been here. We were able to enjoy our trip without worry and knew the dogs were in good hands. I would definitely recommend her for anyone looking for a sitter.”
“Kaylah is very responsive and dependable. She did a great job with my very nervous rescue dog, putting my dog right at ease. We’re looking forward to having her back!”
“Tyler did an awesome job with our 2 high maintenance Border Collies who are rarely left at home. They were well cared for and extremely happy upon our return. Tyler also house-sat and everything was in perfect order. We will definitely call Tyler again.”
“Karah did an incredible job with my animals and house.I cannot recommend her highly enough.My animals are rarely left overnight much less for 2 weeks, my dog is fragile and requires medication 2x a day.They were happy; secure and healthy when we returned.”

“So grateful for John! Very understanding of the difficulties I had leaving my Luna for the first time like this - sent me multiple texts, pictures and videos assuring me she was doing well and happy. Very flexible with my schedule and made the point to come meet Luna ahead of time on a previous day. Very attentive to Luna's schedule and her specific little quirks. Luna clearly enjoyed her time, giving John a super speed tail wag and some kisses before we left.”
“Jenna was great- responsive, friendly and responsible. Sitting my skittish, introverted rescue pup takes an extra level, and I really appreciate her knowledge and comfort around animals!”
“Quinn stayed with our dogs and my dad’s dog for a week and she did an amazing job! She was very communicative and sent pictures every day which I really appreciated. Our house was very clean when we got home and she left a note for us about how the week went in addition to the messages she had sent throughout the week. We felt very relaxed on our trip because of her updates and our dogs seemed happy and relaxed when we got home! Highly recommend!”
“Kristin was great!! She kept me up to date with everything going on while we were gone and sent a ton of pictures which me and the kids were very happy about. Her dog Leo and our dog looked like they got along really well and he actually looked like he was smiling in some of the pictures. Thank you for taking such great care of Crosby.”
“Macenzie was absolutely wonderful with our pup! She was super communicative, sent photos throughout the day & kept us informed with her coming & going though it was not requested. Left the house is wonderful shape as well! Highly recommend !”
“Yelitza was a top-notch, superb dog sitter through and through! She is a lovely person and took such great care of our doggies and home. Our pups loved her, and she sent frequent lovely updates. Highly recommended!”
“I could tell Alyssa was the right sitter within the first 5 minutes of meeting her. She put my mind at ease while scheduling traveling plans for our 5 day trip. While she was at my house I could tell that my dog was in great hands :) She had great updates and took great care of my house as well. Look forward to using her in the future! Thank you Alyssa!”
Far West-Side pet parents share their Rover experiences
We had an excellent experience with Yelitza as dog sitter and would happily book with her again. From the very beginning, she was incredibly communicative, sending frequent updates and lots of photos, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. What impressed us most was how quickly our dogs warmed up to her during the meet and greet. One of our dogs is extremely shy and nervous around new people, so seeing Richard immediately comfortable with our sitter was remarkable and spoke volumes about her calm, caring demeanor. She also went above and beyond throughout the stay. Not only did she take wonderful care of our dogs, but she cleaned up after them without being asked and even brought in packages that arrived while we were away. Those thoughtful extra touches were such a pleasant surprise. We returned home to happy, well-cared-for dogs and felt completely confident that they were in great hands. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, attentive, and genuinely caring pet sitter.
Margaret checked in with Miki a couple times throughout the few days and returned to spend each night with Miki. Miki is our rescue dog and he’s very fearful, so will try to bite. Margaret took this on anyway, and arrived with her own snacks after we had left. We left Margaret fresh cooked turkey for Miki, and a large piece of cardboard for her protection (which she never had to use). Miki was licking her hand by the next day. Margaret had the experience to gain Miki’s trust. We are grateful. This was the first time we hired anyone to watch Miki in 7 years. It proved to be a good experience all around. We returned to find our house as we left it.
This was our first time with Mollie house/dog/cat sitting and she was fantastic! She asked all the right questions, took great care of our fur babies, including taking our tiny dog for walks - and we came home to a perfectly clean house! I’m looking forward to her return!
We have a special needs dog who doesn't prefer meeting new people. Hannah was great about understanding our dog's needs and was patient about meeting him several times to allow him to get comfortable before the first longer stay. She was great about communicating and sharing pictures. It was a relief to know our dog was at home in good hands while we were traveling!
