“Couldn’t have asked for better! Perfect communication throughout the stay. It was wonderful to know our buds were being so well taken care of while we were gone.”
“Olivia did a wonderful job caring for our two pups while we were away for 9 days. She was reliable, attentive, and cared for them as if they were her own. We appreciated the frequent photo updates which gave us peace of mind while on vacation. Our dogs were happy, well cared for, and comfortable when we returned. We wouldn’t hesitate to book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter.”
“My partner and I would absolutely hire Emerson again. He was on time, professional, and Jelly took to him instantly. Throughout our trip, he communicated regularly and was incredibly patient with Jelly, especially when she was testing him in the beginning. He won her over quickly, and from that point on, the entire stay went smoothly. We never had to worry about Jelly—she was clearly in good hands. Emerson followed every instruction, so there were no accidents or issues. When our flight was delayed, he reassured us without hesitation that he could stay longer and continue caring for her, which was such a relief. We came home to a happy dog and a clean house. What stood out most was how laser‑focused he was on Jelly’s needs and his demeanour was kind and compassionate. That’s exactly what we needed, and he delivered it with care and professionalism.”
“I felt so at ease with Margaret staying at my place to watch both my dog and my brothers dog while I was out of town for a few days. She was always sending photos and updates and very responsive. I would definitely love for Margaret to stay again anytime.”
“Carolina did an exceptional job with my dogs! They are both large and energized, which can be a lot to handle but I wasn’t worried one bit with Carolina. I received updates and photos which always is nice when away. She is definitely someone I would book again over and over.”
“Jessica is fantastic. My rather anxious dog took to her right away. I felt so at ease knowing she was watching my cats and my dog. I have nothing but good things to say about her.”
“Rachel is amazing, our pups look forward to seeing her and we love the updates and photos she sends! We always come back to a clean home and happy pups!”
“Alexandra took great care of our puppy! She watched him at our house the day after he got neutered and we felt very confident leaving him with Alexandra. She was prompt, communicative, and provided photos and updates throughout the day. Highly recommend!”
“My animals (2 dogs and a crabby cat) loved Carolyn. In fact she came over a few days after I returned and the were so excited to see her. They definitely got a lot of attention. She sent lots of pictures which I really appreciated and communicated everyday on how their day was going. I appreciated her taking good care of my fur babies.”
“Sam was fantastic! Very communicative and sent pictures and updates every night. I felt so comfortable having her here with our boys and will definitely be using her again.”
“Jade was terrific! Dogs were well cared for and she is great about communicating! She asked questions when information was needed and provided updates while we were away. Highly recommend”
“Abigail was an amazing sitter. We immediately felt comfortable with her from the moment she met our pup. She had great communication and gave our pup all the love. Would highly recommend to anyone with any type of pet, her background gives her great experience and she is a sitter to be trusted.”
“Connie was amazing! She was very thorough with our meet and greet. My animals also instantly loved her and felt comfortable with her which is especially rare for my dog. My dog usually needs to be coaxed to eat special food while I’m gone but she went straight for her dry kibble shortly after Connie got there. She’s a true animal lover :)”
“This was the first time I had used Rover in a number of years and from start to finish Shykala was fantastic! Great communication - and even better with the dogs. They felt right at home with her and hardly missed me. Will definitely be using her again.”
“Trinity was great with our pets! She took care of them just as we asked and even sent us a few photos. She stayed in our home and took good care of using our space as well. Her communication replies were prompt. She is kind and respectful as well. We're grateful our first experience with someone through Rover was Trinity!”
Folwell pet parents share their Rover experiences
Jade did a fantastic job with our pets during a five-night house sit. We have two dogs and three cats, including a senior dog with some cognitive issues and another dog that needs to be separated during meals due to food guarding. Jade handled everything calmly and followed our routines exactly as we discussed. She kept us updated while we were away, and the house was in great shape when we returned. Most importantly, all of the animals were relaxed and clearly well cared for. Jade was easy to communicate with, thoughtful, and very respectful of our home. We would absolutely be happy to have her sit for us again and highly recommend her to others.
Mika loves her time with Alexia and we love having her here! She’s a great communicator and very engaging with Mika, from talking her on walks to extra snuggles. We love the photo updates we get and have complete peace of mind that she’s in the best hands! Bonus is coming home to a house even better than how we left it!
They’re fantastic!! Took great care of our anxious dog and our home for the two weeks we were gone. Our animal warmed up to them quickly which was surprising as our dog can take a while to warm up to people. We know it’s daunting having someone stay at our house and look after our animal for two weeks, but you’re in good hands!! We super appreciate everything!!
Ariana did a wonderful job watching our dog in our home while we were away for a week! She takes such great care and we appreciated the responsive and proactive communication both leading up to the stay and while we are gone. This was our second time having Ariana stay with our dog, and we won’t hesitate to book with her again in the future. We came home to a clean house and a relaxed dog. Thank you Ariana!!
Kiah did a great job with our senior dog Tex. He was in the process of switching his food and Kiah was very patient and thorough with the feeding schedule. Tex can be shy, so Kiah took her time and really won him over in the end, even earning puppy smiles and kisses! Kiah did a good job sending updates and left the house immaculate. She even got our mail for us! We would 100% recommend Kiah and will definitely be using her again.
Jennifer was absolutely amazing with our two dogs, Lady and Rex, and stepped in on short notice over the holidays without hesitation. She took the time to come over beforehand to meet the pups and get familiar with our home, which immediately put us at ease. Throughout our trip, her communication was truly top-tier, better than anyone we’ve ever had through Rover. We received daily updates and photos, and it was so comforting knowing our dogs were happy, loved, and well cared for while we were away. On top of that, she left our house spotless, if not cleaner than when we left it, which was such a thoughtful and appreciated touch. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and can’t wait to have Jennifer back again. Highly, highly recommend! 🐾💛
