“Christian was wonderful with Gus! He kept me updated throughout, took Gus on his morning walks to the coffee shop, and clearly showered him with affection while I was away. I came home to a happy dog and a spotless house. I'd book him again in a heartbeat and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a caring, reliable sitter.”

“Katherine was so amazing with our two pups!! It was our first time leaving them since we’ve had a baby, and so I was nervous but she sent us so many updates and gave them tons of love. We felt so comfortable with them in her care. Our house looked great when we got home and the dogs were happy to see us but nice and relaxed. Would absolutely recommend her to anyone in need of a sitter!”


“Jamie was great! She kept us updated on our dogs and sent pics and I know they were getting lots of love!! She’s extremely communicative and responds quickly! It was a 10/10 experience”

“I’ve used Rover more than 20 times over the years, and Rose was by far the best sitter we’ve ever had! She went above and beyond to ensure we knew our pups were in great hands, keeping us updated and handling every detail with care. She not only met all of our requests but exceeded our expectations in every way. Highly recommend!”

“I am not the best at leaving reviews but I would feel borderline guilty if I did not leave one for Kyle. He was by far the best sitter we have had in our 8yrs of having our fur babies. Yes, you heard that correctly. The best we have ever had. He was so considerate, attentive, and sent so many updates and photos. He even washed our bedding and did dishes on his last day! To say he was unbelievable doesn’t even do him justice. He is one of the friendliest people we have met. If you are looking at his profile, take my advice, book now because once his name gets out there I doubt he will have much availability. The guy really is heaven sent as a sitter.”

“WE LOVE ZUBIN !! 🩷 she sent me so many photos of my fur babies and was very very quick to respond! I came home to a clean house and an adorable water color painting of my babies. Already rebooked for December.”

“Samantha and Will were really amazing! I will be reaching out to book for future family trips. Pepper was pampered with all her favorite activities like snuggles, belly rubs, sun bathing, walks, fetch, mid day naps, and lots of pets. This is my first experience on Rover and I’m super happy Samantha and Will really saved our trip. I had been canceled on last minute and was stressed, but Samantha responded quickly, put me at ease, was very flexible and excited to meet Pepper. They were fantastic dog and home caretakers and were great at sending super cute pictures every day. I am so happy my dog was in good hands in her normal environment. Our home was treated with respect and left clean. They were so sweet and helpful, can’t say enough wonderful things! Don’t hesitate, these two are quality people who truly love dogs!”

“Ashley was amazing with our little fur girl! Taking her for walks and staying overnight so we didn’t have to kennel her. Also sending pictures so we could see how she was doing. We definitely recommend her services.”

“Corrie did an amazing job with Sushi! She communicated to us everyday about how he was doing and sent us pictures. She also followed the schedule we provided which we appreciate so much. Highly recommend!”

“Angela was wonderful with our dog. She provided updates multiple times a day and did a wonderful job. I would highly recommend her and will be rebooking with her for a future trip.”

“Melissa is amazing! She stayed with my pup who required extra attention due to his separation anxiety and he’s grieving the loss of his sister of all 11 years of his life. She provided lots of updates during her stay and lots of pictures. Walker looked happy and extremely well cared for in every single one. I was very anxious about leaving him since he required extra attention and is on some new meds but Melissa was wonderful and I never wondered for a second how things were going while I was away. I know we have a new friend who we will rebook with any time. Thank you, Melissa!!”

“Erin was so great in taking care of our pups and home! Care instructions were followed exactly as written, she sent plenty of updates and communicated in a timely manner, and took great care of our home. Would recommend her to a friend and hope to have her back in the future!”

“WHAT DO I SAY AND WHERE DO I BEGIN?! My husband and I left and flew across the country for 4 days and knew we needed someone reliable and trustworthy to watch our two dogs, Elvis & Priscilla. We could not be anymore thankful to have found MIGGIE! Our dogs are our entire world, so naturally, as i am sure most dog portents do, took the whole finding a dog sitter VERY seriously. Miggie exceeded every expectation we had. She stayed in our home to love on and take care of our dogs as if they were her own. We received consistent updates with pictures and videos the entire trip, which allowed us to relax and enjoy ourselves knowing our fur babies were in the best of hands. Our dogs looked so happy and having Miggie stay at our house, the dogs felt at home, which kept them comfortable with their daily routine. Miggie is such a cheerful, kind hearted person. We are so lucky to have found her and have already started planning our next booking with her. 10/10 recommend her to care for your pets. She is truly one of a kind! THANK YOU MIGGIE! Elvis & P love you!”

“Lindsey has been extremely accommodating with my crazy schedule. She is a kind, amicable pet sitter who I recommend. She took care of my 3 dogs and 2 cats effortlessly, and I promise they are quirky and come with a list of duties. She left the house spotless, and even moved in furniture boxes!! Have already rebooked.”

Andrei was the BEST!!! he was very attentive to our golden retriever and spent lots of time walking him in our neighborhood and playing with him. He is very polite and thoughtful and followed all our requests and suggestions. I would highly recommend him as a Dog Sitter and will certainly be calling him again soon!
Madison is an absolute gem! She watched our two bulldogs and housesat for us this weekend, and we truly cannot say enough good things. Her attention to detail and the way she prioritized our dogs was evident from start to finish. We received consistent photos and updates throughout the weekend, which kept us totally at ease. She also left our home spotless—she even laundered the sheets in the guest room and remade the bed before she left! Madison completely exceeded our expectations, and we will definitely be booking her again.

Avery was absolutely wonderful! She took care of our 2 dogs and house for 8 days and did an amazing job!! One of our dogs has to have insulin twice a day. Avery administered it no problem! We enjoyed our vacay and never worried about our fur babies. She sent lots of photos and we saw how happy they were why we were away! Will definitely use Avery again!

Levi is a dependable sitter who spent a lot of time with my two smaller dogs. He was communicative and kind. He made sure to check in that we were returning home on-time and offered to check back in with the dogs should our travel go awry. I would use him again, which is the best compliment I can give any sitter of my babies.
