1. Ivy W.

“Ivy did a wonderful job at caring for our puppy, Kuma, while we were away! Ivy was very attentive to our puppy and asked great questions before to get a good sense of his needs. I really enjoyed getting pictures of Kuma throughout his time with Ivy. I have a very anxious dog and Ivy was super patient with Kuma until he warmed up to her. I will definitely be rebooking in the future!!”


2. Schirn J.

“Schirn was a great house sitter! She gave me pup dates along the way and was easy to communicate with. She left the house spotless and my pup was in good spirits when I came home. Would book again!”


3. Ariel R.

“Ariel was wonderful! She is friendly and so clearly an animal person; the kind of person you want caring after your pet. We booked her for house sitting for our 4 month old puppy. She gave him lots of attention and followed our instructions. We will definitely be booking again.”

“Alessandra is wonderful! She is excellent at communicating, follows instructions perfectly and is super kind to animals. I highly recommend her for looking after your pets in the future.”


5. Michele L.
“Michele has been an incredible sitter for two dogs this year. I’ve visited her during those times and the dogs loves her. You can immediately tell that takes good care of them. She also had the chance to take care of her own family dog with so much love and dedication. She’s reliable, attentive, and treats every pet like family. I trust her completely with my dogs and highly recommend her!”


6. Lucy C.

“This is the first time we have used Rover and we highly recommend choosing Lucy to watch your pet! She is a great communicator, sending updates by photos and videos. Through her messages we were able to see how attentive and caring she was, which in turn allowed us to know he was in good hands. Lucy exercised our pet several times a day and even took him to the dog park to play with others. Additionally, she took care of our home and kept it in pristine condition. We have only positive things to say about Lucy. She is a pet sitter that will go above and beyond to care for your pet!”


7. Rachel M.

“Rachel was great with our puppy! She was very communicative, took great care of the house, and provided plenty of updates! Our pup was well taken care of!”


8. mila S.

“Mila is god send. I have a 13 year old blind diabetic dog with a degenerate disease who requires a lot of attention (eg insulin shots, medication administration, requires home made bfast amongst other things). My wife and I have stopped traveling for a bit as it is very difficult to trust that someone will take care of our dog the way we do (any mishap can send her to urgent care). We read Mila's reviews and background and felt that we could give her a try (she sat our dog at place) and we are happy we did. She sent us pictures, status updates and even stayed 2 extra days when we got stuck in Chicago do to flight cancellations. When we got home, our dog was clean (no eye boogers, no pee smell, etc) and calm (dog is really anxious). She truly took care of her as if she was her own fur baby! She left my apt spotless! Even bought us a candle. Booking her again for all our travels. We know we are leaving our dog in trusted hands.”


9. Lillybeth L.
“Lillybeth was an amazing dog sitter! This was our first time using the rover app for an at home dog sitter. When our flight got unexpectedly delayed (which delayed our return home), Lillybeth was extremely accommodating. She communicated extremely well, always kept us in the loop on our dog, and updated us twice daily with pictures! I cannot stress how amazing she was to work with! We will definitely be booking with her again, thank you for being amazing!!”


10. Andrea C.

“Andrea was absent amazing with my dog Franklin! Andrea house sat for me with a last minute request and was so great! She was very communicative and sent me timely updates. I highly recommend Andrea, she is great with fur babies!”


11. Christopher M.

12. Hannah P.

“Hannah was very flexible and accommodating of special requests and sent photos of their walks and called when there was a concern. I plan to use her again in the near future. She was outstanding!”


13. Chuan Jin C.
“My name is Reynald. I have known Chuan for more than a year. I am thrilled to share my testimonies of him as he is seeking a job as a pet sitter. Chuan embodies the qualities of punctuality, dependability, and pet knowledge that every pet owner seeks. He is very conscious about being punctual. When he has to babysit my dachshund, he always impresses me with his punctuality. Whether it was for scheduled walks or feeding times , Chuan is always on the dot. This level of reliability gave me peace of mind knowing that my dog would not be left waiting or in distress. Chuan is the epitome of dependability. He consistently communicates with me , providing updates and ensuring that my dog was happy and well-cared for. His extensive knowledge of dogs is impressive. He understand various breeds, their temperaments, and specific care requirements. Chuan's expertise in dog behavior is evident , and I could see the positive impact it has on my pet's wellbeing. In closing, I cannot recommend Chuan enough as a dog sitter. If you are looking for a trustworthy and knowledgeable dog sitter, look no further than Chuan. He is a true gem in the world of pet care.”


14. Kimberly M.

“Very pleasant individual. I had a wonderful experience with Kimberly. She covered all my requests. I was able to communicate easily with her at all times which I appreciate very much being that I was far away from my baby. Kimberly made my trip much more enjoyable because I was able to trust her. Thanks again Kimberly for an amazing job! Thankyou Rover for having such a wonderful loving person on your team.”

16. Ryozo W.

“Ryozo was great! Had a last minute flight scheduled and he saved the day. Super flexible and cared for my lil guy like he was his own dog. Flight home was delayed which resulted in me picking up my dog a day late and he was so beyond accommodating. 10/10 will book again!”


17. Tedy H.

“Tedy was absolutely exceptional at house and cat sitting during my first trip in several years. Both cats instantly fell in love with her, she kept my home tidy, and really made me feel safe and assured knowing they were safe and loved in her hands. Tedy is now a friend and the sitter I will rely on forever, she’s amazing.”


18. Janet Y.
“I cannot recommend Janet enough for your company. Janet is an exceptionally responsible and caring individual who has a true passion for working with animals. She had her own dog & I’ve seen firsthand her ability to connect with dogs and provide them with the love and attention they need. Specifically, my dog has such an attachment to her after meeting her only twice. Janet is patient, understanding, super organized and reliable. I have no doubt that Janet would be an asset to your team and would thrive in this role. I wholeheartedly recommend her and believe that she would be a valuable addition to your organization. Feel free to reach out if you have any further questions.”


19. Yesenia I.

“Izzy is simply wonderful. She bonded right away with our pets and that says a lot. Great with communication and very punctual with the walking schedule we requested. The pictures and videos she sent us made us feel very confident that our Bucky and Rosie were well taken cared of. Would definitely recommend Izzy and we would book again with her on our next getaway.”


20. Isabel G.

“Isabel stayed with Gaston while we were on vacation this last week and we came home to a happy, healthy, and safe dog!

Would definitely trust her with Gaston anytime again!”
