“Michelle was great house sitting for our two dogs while we were away for a long weekend. She was communicative, caring, and left the house super clean! Trustworthy and will use again!”
2. Cassidy A.
“Cassidy was a great pal to our dog and very communicative. She left the house tidier than it was and sent beautiful frame-worthy photos every day. I’ve never felt better about my dog-care.”
3. Jude L.
“Jude is amazing as a person and of course, as a sitter, my dog is not easy yet she got to bond with him and he was so happy! Constant communication, really trustworthy :D”
4. Kay P.
“Kay is super reliable and great with my kitties. She's stayed with them twice now and I'd be happy to have her back anytime. I trust her with my cats and my house! She pays attention to what's on with them and sent me photos during my trip which I love.”
5. Jasmine & Kaytlin G.
“Jasmine was amazing! She was very loving and responsible with our dog Maxine. Jasmine sent photos and was always quick to respond to any communication. We will definitely hire her again and wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to our family and friends.”
6. Kristy N.
“Kristy was great with our pup! She took him to the park and for walks. Communicated well and had a wonderful demeanor. She sent updates and pictures and left the house in great shape! Will definitely be using her services again!”
7. Armando G.
“Armando was amazing! Lately my dog has been showing signs of aggression, and I was concerned about how that would present itself with a housesitter while I was away for a week. When Armando arrived for our meet and greet, Winston barked a couple times but then immediately took to him. The five minutes of barking and growling—that I’m so used to him doing with new people who enter the house—just wasn’t a thing. It felt like some serious dog whisperer magic I was witnessing. Armando regularly shared photos and updates with me throughout the week that made it clear that the two of them were having a great time together. Seriously, I’m just ecstatic. I can’t recommend him enough for any sort of Rover care you may need for your dog!”
8. Karin B.
“Karin took excellent care of our two dogs and two cats. She showed great care and attention to detail for all their routines and medical needs. She checked in with us everyday and made sure the house was reset before she left. We look forward to working with her again.”
9. Gabby I.
“Gabby house sat and took care of my adult golden retriever for three days. She was accommodating of an early start, and super responsive all throughout. She took my dog on daily walks even in the rain, and followed instructions (I had many) including a regular medication schedule. I came back to a spotless house, and a happy and relaxed dog. Will book again!”
10. Jenna R.
“Jenna did a great job caring for our two girls and house in our absence. Our girls can be a bit high energy but Jenna didn’t seem to struggle. Our mail and packages were stacked neatly where requested and even our backyard was clean on return (something many of our other dog sitters have neglected). Will definitely book Jenna again.”
11. Rissy L.
“Rissy was a fantastic house guest and she kept our pup happy and smiling while we were away! It was so nice to get photos of our dog. The apartment was spotless when we returned. I would recommend her in a heartbeat. Lucy is a happy dog!”
12. Laura F.
“This was our first time using Laura's services and she did not disappoint. From the thoughtful pre-visits to get acquainted with us and Lola and her care of Lola and our house while we were away for spring break, Laura was a true professional. We'd book her again.”
13. Tassia C.
“Tassia did a great job and rolled with some unexpected excitement in my building, and kept me up to date regularly! Will definitely book her again. Thank you!!”
14. Dale M.
“Dale did an excellent job looking after Harvey. We really appreciated the thoughtful care and communication while we were away. 10/10 would recommend and rebook with Dale.”
15. Lori M.
“Lori was a patient, highly responsive, and attentive caregiver to Mochi, our 1.5 yo dog. We had never used a housesitter/dogsitter before so we had some anxieties about it. Lori gave us peace of mind with her responsiveness, cute pics of Mochi out and about, and regular updates. Lori asked questions, took notes, and made us feel like she was on top of the situation. Highly recommend! Thanks Lori for your patience with anxious doggie parents!!!”
16. Kelsey F.
“Kelsey does a great job! She watched our two dogs for the weekend and we had zero worries. She gives you updates and sends pics and is a trustworthy sitter and respected our home. Highly recommend! We will definitely be using her again. Thanks Kelsey!”
17. Adrian V.
“Adrian was a wonderful companion to Kiska during our trip! He sent great updates and took him on long walks every morning. Kiska is an anxious boy but Adrian had a very gentle energy and handled Kiska really well. Our home was left in great condition. Our other Rover cancelled last minute and Adrian was able to come for a meet and greet right away and is clearly very capable with animals. Would definitely hire Adrian again!”
18. Mandy A.
“When you hire Mandy to look after your pets, you are giving your pets a gift. She is amazing. Gives them love, adventures, and overall such attentive care. She is worth every penny!”
19. Radha R.
“Radha was a wonderful companion to our high-energy puppy. He house sat for several days and dealt with a leak, a power outage, and a puppy who had never been left with a stranger. Radha sent lots of pictures and updates and kept us at ease. He even visited a couple of weeks before we hired him so we could ensure he was a good fit for us. Thank you, Radha!”
20. Alison K.
“Alison watched our two wild corgis for one night and sent ample updates! You can tell she has a lot of experience and I knew they were in good hands with her!”
