“Peter came through for me last minute! He suggested a meet and greet the day before. Peter updated me daily with photos of penthouse. I came back a little later than expected due to my flight, and I'm so grateful I didn't have to worry about my dog because Peter came through last moment for me. Thank you so much!! I will be using him again 💖”

“Phoebe is calm and relaxed, which is perfect energy around my dogs, one who is old and one who is young. She spent several hours at my house, and I came home to a very happy household. I have already rebooked her for this week.”

“Christina is wonderful. She is a fantastic communicator and took great care of our fur-child Birdie over the holiday weekend. We appreciate her kindness and care, and will definitely be calling on her again the next time we travel.”

“Natalie took great care of Lily for 4 drop in visits! She sent me videos and pics and everything was just how I left it when I got home! Will be re booking her in the future….thank you Natalie!”

“I cannot say enough positive things about Maria! She is a wonderful communicator, not only did she take excellent care of my puppy and cat, but she also kept me up-to-date with plenty of photos and videos the whole time. It’s never easy leaving your animals, but Maria made it enjoyable for everyone.”

“Always the best experience! Even was able to step in and help my mom’s dog even though that was not the original plan. Took him to the vet and got him back healthy. All while taking care of my three. Thank you so much!”

“5-Star Review for Ashlee, Dog Sitter Extraordinaire! I can't say enough great things about Ashlee! She took care of our two dogs, Cooper and Arie, overnight at our home, and we were beyond impressed. From the moment we met her, it was clear that she is incredibly responsible, caring, and genuinely loves animals. Ashlee was prompt in her communication, providing regular updates and photos throughout her time with our pups, which gave us such peace of mind. Cooper and Arie can be a bit needy but Ashlee handled everything with ease, ensuring they were both comfortable, safe, and happy. It was so thoughtful of her to send us pictures and updates, showing how well they were doing in her care. When we returned home, the dogs were calm and content, and our house was in perfect order, which speaks volumes about her professionalism. I could tell that Ashlee took the time to really get to know each of their personalities, and it made all the difference. I highly recommend Ashlee if you're looking for a reliable, kind, and experienced dog sitter. We will absolutely be booking her again the next time we need someone to care for Cooper and Arie!”

“We were BEYOND thrilled with Del and Laiana’s care. Lots of daily updates and photos. They went above and beyond for our pups, and did laundry and cleaned our house before leaving!! We can’t wait to use them again. Highly recommend!”

“Autumn was absolutely phenomenal! She stayed at our house over the Thanksgiving holiday and took incredible care of our two dogs. She sent daily photos and videos, kept them active with walks, and gave them so much love and attention. On top of that, our home was spotless when we returned. We felt completely at ease knowing our pups were in such caring hands. We’ll 100% be using Autumn anytime we go out of town — and the dogs give her all the tail wags! 🐾”

“Skylar was awesome. I needed a last minute dog sitter for a couple of hours and Skylar was kind enough to do a last minute meet and greet the day before I needed her. Would definitely recommend and will book again when I need help with my doggies again!”
“Zackary was GREAT! He gave plenty of love to our pups and gave us a piece of mind to go on our vacation. He sent pictures and videos to give us updates on how they were doing! I would recommend Zackary 100x and will definitely be using him again.”

“Leilani was a phenomenal house and dog sitter! We came back to a house that was even cleaner than we left it! She was attentive to our fur baby, kept us updated on how she was doing throughout our absence, and clearly built a sweet relationship with her. We cannot recommend Leilani enough (and we are picky)!”

“Jennifer was amazing with my giant puppy Monty. She was able to get him very comfortable on her first day with him. She was also super flexible when our flight was cancelled last minute and she had to stay an extra night with Monty. Would definitely recommender her to anyone looking for a great sitter!”

“We have used Davi’s dog sitting and house sitting services multiple times and can’t say enough great things about her! We left our two quirky Havanese dogs with her this time for 9 days. We’ve never left them that long, but since they did so well with Davi on our last trip, we knew they’d be in good hands. We were grateful for her husband helping out, too, when Davi told us before we booked she wouldn’t be available one of the days. Her husband is on Rover, too! Yay! We got photos and videos and daily reports throughout the week. She walked them, brushed them, gave them vitamins and treats, brought in our packages, took out and brought back in our garbage cans, and she even left the dogs gifts! The house was immaculate when we returned and if I hadn’t seen pictures of the dogs, I wouldn’t have known she was even there. I highly recommend Davi (and her husband) - except for days when I need her services, because I don’t want her to be unavailable due to her popularity haha. Seriously, she’s awesome!”

“My pup loved Brittney and she made him feel so comfortable! She had incredible communication and updates that left me no questions about my pups care and how his day was while I was away. I would absolutely use her service again and I know Argo is looking forward to it as well.”

“My girl got into some meds while I was at work. Dwain was quick to try to contact me when he stopped by the house and quick to action. They couldn't be in better hands and I'm so grateful.”

Forest City pet parents share their Rover experiences
Kimberly was absolutely amazing! She took amazing care of my 3 boys and our home. From first meeting her at our meet and greet she was extremely nice and courteous. My one dog is very anxious and afraid of new people at first. She handled him so well and shared how he quickly warmed up to her over her time here. She provided great updates and photos throughout her stay which provide me with peace of mind while I was away. My house was better than I left it, she even washed the bedding and had the bed made upon my return. Can’t wait to have her again!

Halle has pet sit for us several times now - every time she has been wonderful about communicating with us about our dogs and cats and more importantly they LOVE her! It’s clear she cares and we will gladly continue to have her pet sit for us in the future - very highly recommend booking with Halle! 🙂

Patricia is so wonderful!! She took the best care of my three cats while we were away! She provided daily check ins and photos which helped ease my anxiety being away from my fur babies. I am so glad to have found her through Rover and she will be my go-to sitter for all future trips!

Sally was wonderful to work with. Her initial meet and greet put my mind at ease, and she took the time to get to know my dog. During the short stay, Sally communicated well and provided updates with photos on a daily basis. I would not hesitate to recommend Sally to any other potential sitters looking for a reliable, friendly, and professional sitter.

We are so thankful that we found Davi for our animals. She was incredible! We were gone for five nights, and she made us feel very confident leaving. Our pups absolutely adored her, and she paid close attention to every detail. Whether it was playtime, potty time, walk time, feedings, etc. She was on top of it all and we will most definitely book with her again. 😊
