“Brittany was a delight to work with. She was professional, timely and thoroughly followed our directions. She took extra special care of our two dogs while we were away. She sent daily updates and pictures. She was able to appropriately handle whatever came up. I highly recommend Brittany. You will not be disappointed.”
“Angela took wonderful care of our babies and home, while we were away for the holidays. She provided plenty of updates, and daily photos, that gave us such peace of mind. Highly recommend! We can’t wait to have her back again :)”
“Alexis is always the best. She cares for Milo just as I would and spends time with him just relaxing at home. She sends ample pictures and provides updates on exactly how he is doing. So lucky to have someone I can trust with my boy.”
“Stephanie was great! She helped us out when we were in a sitting bind and provided us with a lot of updates which made us feel at ease while we were away.”
“My cats loved Chrissona and she kept us so well informed and sent updates and pictures, she is really the only reason we relaxed on holiday, knowing our cats were in excellent hands. She left the house immaculate too!”
“Melanie did a good job with my boys (Persian cats). She sent daily updates and pictures as requested! We came home to some instant pictures that she had taken and left for us which was very sweet!”
“Orima is incredible!! She was so thorough and attentive to our doggos, making sure they were happy felt loved while we were away for a few days for a wedding! We had a terrible experience with a doggy daycare, so having a loving caring dog sitter really feels like a blessing!! We truly look forward to having Orima sit for us again!!”
“Emily cared for our dog, two cats, and our home during a long 10 day trip. All the pets were happy and our home was clean and well cared for. Would certainly book again!”
“This was my first Rover booking and it couldn’t have gone better thanks to Brad. He was professional and took the odd feeding and activity requests in stride. I enjoyed getting pictures of our dog, who surprisingly ate all of his food while we were away. (A first for us, since our dog is happiest when we are home.) I couldn’t even tell someone had stayed in the house when we returned. I also appreciate that he adjusted the schedule when we learned we needed to leave earlier than originally planned. Communication was prompt and clear. He made a point to meet and connect with our dog before we traveled. While he has other jobs, it’s clear Brad is professional in his approach to dog sitting and not just someone available when they are home from school etc (not that there is anyone wrong with that)”
“Camryn was amazing. She checked in regularly & sent photos of my 3 pups. I could tell they were having a blast with her. They are all senior gals, the oldest being 17. When I got home, they were all so happy, everything was clean (including them! Which is hard when you're battling incontinence and bladder issues). Camryn is top notch and my gals cannot wait for me to go out of town again!!!”
“Six stars, if I could!! She was amazing. I had complete peace of mind while I was away. Great communication, made sure my pup got lots of love, attention, and activities, and took great care of my home, too! My pup is missing her already. Looking forward to having her watch him (and my other 2) in the future!!”
“Nicole was absolutely the best. I needed house sitting services for my pup while I was traveling & I had very high expectations of care for my pup who has separation anxiety & she exceeded my expectations. She was so sweet to my pup & made him feel at home & comfortable while I was away & texted me Updates & pics throughout the day & took him for great walks. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!!”
“Andrea was amazing with my dog Parker. She was very loving and spent a lot of time with him. Parker can be picky when it comes to food and she was great, she made sure he ate all his meals at his time. He was also healing from a hotspot and she took great care of it, it was all heal by the time I came back home. I could tell Parker had a good time with her. I would recommend Andrea 100%. We will be booking again with her for sure.”
“Malia did such a great job taking care of our sweet puppy. She babysat him for a long weekend while we were out of town and they had a blast together! She provided regular updates and was super responsive. Our flight home ended up getting delayed and she even stayed a bit longer to make sure our dog had the proper care. He can’t wait to see her again. Thank you Malia!”
“Courtney house sat for me and watched my two cats. I have an adult cat and a kitten who are still figuring one another out. Courtney took good care of them, spending some play time with each of them. She checked in with me regularly and confirmed with me whether her schedule worked with the flexibility in my cats’ feeding schedule.”
“Melanie is amazing. My animals love her. I trust her with my home and all of my fur babies. Will definitely rely on her for animal care in the future. And Humphrey, her dog, is a gem! I give her my highest possible recommendation!”
First Ward pet parents share their Rover experiences
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We felt so comfortable having Avery stay at our house over the weekend and take care of our two dogs — including our large Great Dane! She was incredibly attentive to every detail, went out of her way to walk the dogs, and kept our home nice and tidy. She even sent daily pictures and left a sweet note on the countertop after she left — such a thoughtful gesture! It was so reassuring to know we have someone who genuinely enjoys being around our pets and treats them like her own. We are so grateful to have found Avery and highly recommend her!
Camryn was amazing. She checked in regularly & sent photos of my 3 pups. I could tell they were having a blast with her. They are all senior gals, the oldest being 17. When I got home, they were all so happy, everything was clean (including them! Which is hard when you're battling incontinence and bladder issues). Camryn is top notch and my gals cannot wait for me to go out of town again!!!
We couldn’t have asked for a better house sitter than Brad! He stayed at our home for several days and treated it with the utmost respect. When temperatures dropped well below freezing, he proactively took steps to protect the house - his experience as a realtor really showed, and we felt confident knowing he understood how to keep everything safe during extreme weather. Brad was also wonderful with our two dogs. He carefully followed all our feeding instructions and went above and beyond by taking them on walks throughout his stay. It’s clear he genuinely cares about the pets in his care. We highly recommend Brad and would absolutely book him again!
Sonna was great with my 2 kittens! She was responsive and communicative leading up to booking, provided updates & pictures throughout the weekend, and asked questions to clarify based on how my kittens were behaving through the weekend. Will definitely book her again!
Angie was amazing!! She took excellent care of our girl, Jolene, even through an unexpected ice storm! And when our flights were canceled coming home, she was so helpful and able to extend her stay to continue taking care of Jo. Truly a life saver, we would absolutely recommend her and use her again!
Bailey is such a great dog sitter. She gives lots of updates and photos to make you feel at ease while you are away. Bailey also stayed late for me when my flight home got delayed due to weather and I couldn’t be more grateful. She is great with my older boy who has special needs and needs medication.
Ashly is the best!!! She has sat for our dog Rosie several times and does an amazing job. She sends lots of wonderful updates and pictures. She’s also super flexible and has saved us several times!! Most recently she was able to stay an extra day when our flight was cancelled, and even stayed with Rosie through an ice storm. We are so grateful for Ashly!!
Airym was amazing with my dogs, extra large pit bull and a Yorkie. This was the first time I left my dogs with anyone and it was stressful. Airym made this experience so much better. She kept me updated with texts and photos and my dogs loved her. Thank you!!!
