1. Raakhee S.
“I can’t say enough good things about Raakhee. We hired her to stay in our home overnight with our senior dog who doesn’t like too much alone time. She was so responsive, professional, detail-oriented and respectful of our home. It was as clean (if not cleaner) than when we left and she changed the sheets without being asked knowing our flight would be arriving late and we’d be tired. Some people are just very helpful intuitively and that was Raakhee. Her communication about Max was perfect. We got lots of photos and videos so I knew he was doing well and not to worry about him, but not an overwhelming amount. She clearly took great care of him and loves animals and it shows. We would not hesitate to hire her again. My only complaint might be that Max didn’t seem as happy to see us arrive home as he normally does! He’s ready to have Raakhee back.”
2. Mega V.
“Mega was fantastic! She housesat our dog for nine days, and working with her was a great experience throughout. Our dog is quite challenging to walk and bad with other dogs, and Mega handled all of that very smoothly. She sent us regular updates, and we were so grateful that our dog was in such good hands while we were away. She also left our apartment very clean and in great shape. Thank you Mega!”

“Aidan was great! He took amazing care of my two dogs while I was gone for the weekend. He made sure to wear them out all weekend long. My dogs definitely made a new best friend! Will definitely be booking with him again!”
4. Chelsey W.
“Chelsey did a wonderful job pup sitting our 2 Shih Tzus. We were so pleased to receive many great photos of our dogs enjoying their time! I felt extremely comfortable with her ability to take care of our dogs and our house! I will definitely check in with her when we have the need for a pup sitter again!”
5. Carrie M.
“I asked Carrie to stay as a house sitter for my two cats who are just over a year old. They haven't been alone for an extended period of time due to their adoption during the pandemic when I was mostly home all day. Also one of the cats had recently been put on medication for anxiety and tummy troubles so I wanted to be sure she was monitored. Carrie went above and beyond with everything. She let me know how it was going with the cat who needed medicine and supplements and kept me informed about the overall well-being of both cats. She played with them to keep them active and sent photos of them at intervals. Carrie also took exceptional care of the house and left it in better condition than when she arrived. As a fairly new pet owner, I was nervous to leave my cats in the care of someone else, particularly with a new medicine routine. However, Carrie made the process painless. I would definitely recommend her and plan to be a repeat customer the next time I go away.”

7. Erika M.
“Erika was a fantastic Petsitter for our little dog - she is very detail-oriented, was excellent at communicating with us, and took such wonderful care of him. Will definitely use Erika again, and highly recommend her!!!”
8. Tara F.
“Tara makes going away for a quick trip super easy! She sends the right amount of updates to keep you at peace. She followed my detailed instructions. Cannot recommend Tara enough, including for shy, anxious babies like mine.”
9. Parker N.
“This is a completely true and well deserved five star rating. Parker brought a perfect combination of being completely professional, caring, and considerate. He’s my #1 choice on Rover and the best I’ve ever worked with.”
10. Drew R.
“Drew was great. Very friendly and great with my animals. He came and visited them multiple times a day, gave them cuddles and scratches and they loved him. He was great with my senior dog and comfortable administering oral meds to him. Very communicative, texted throughout the day and sent pics and videos. 5/5 would have him watch my animals again.”
11. Maria M.
“Maria was wonderful with our 2 year old dog Ellie. She stayed with her for a little under a week and took amazing care of her and our house. She was thorough with her updates and sent us a ton of pictures of Ellie throughout the week. We were able to enjoy our time away because we knew she was taking great care of Ellie. We would love to use Maria in the future!”
12. Shereen i.
“I’ve had three other dog sitters from rover before, and they’ve all been truly amazing. Shereen, however, was the best sitter I’ve ever had and it’s not even close. Our rescue dog is incredibly challenging, high energy, strong, petrified of strangers, and reactive; but Shereen won her heart over, took amazing care of her, handled everything our dog threw at her, sent amazing pictures and updates, knew exactly what to do, and even managed to train her in being less leash reactive! Thank you Shereen for being so amazing! If you can hire Shereen, do it!”
13. Jennifer G.
“My dog loved Jennifer from the moment she walked in. Jennifer is precessional and has a lot of great experience working with dogs. And she is very nice. I highly recommend her and will definitely rebook.”
14. Antonique V.
“Antonique was fantastic — so communicative and patient with my pup, who was not happy that Mom was gone again. I got multiple updates each day with photos and videos, so I knew my dog was in good hands! Would absolutely use her again.”
15. Sade M.
“Sade was excellent! I booked her for a long house-sitting to care for both of my cats and they really enjoyed her. One cat is incredibly anxious and often never comes out with strangers, and the other is a kitten that hadn't known me to be gone overnight before. After a few days both cats were out relaxing and playing as normal with Sade. Sade provided daily updates on my cats while I was away and my place was in perfect condition when I returned. I'll definitely book again!”
16. Robert D.
“I did not worry whatsoever. In the past, I have had to track down my dog sitter's to ensure my dog was fed, taken for walks, etc. It was a nightmare. Knowing Robert was on the job, this time, gave me a peace of mind during my vacation”
17. Christina C.
“I’ve used Rover for a number of years and Christina is by far the best sitter we’ve had. Excellent communication. Clearly got our dog. Took great care of our home. Our dog was as happy as can be when we returned and the house was immaculate. Really great experience for us.”
18. Olympia L.
“As a devoted pet parent, finding the perfect caregiver for my beloved Maltese, Ginger, was crucial and Olympia exceeded every expectation. From their first meeting it was clear we had found someone special. Olympia's arrival was always eagerly anticipated, with Ginger waiting by the door, tail wagging in excitement. More than just a dog walker, Olympia's role extended to providing comforting long-term care during our absences, ensuring my dog felt loved and secure. Even though my cherished Ginger has since passed on, the bond Olympia formed with her was a testament to her dedication and love for animals. I would not hesitate to entrust a future pet to Olympia, confident in her ability to provide not just care, but a deep and understanding companionship.”
19. Jenny B.
“Jenny provided thorough updates and pictures of my pups. She made me feel confident that my babies were loved and well cared for while I was traveling. I am so grateful for her!”
20. Samantha P.
“Samantha is GREAT! She eased my worries while we were gone. She took care of our cat for multiple nights while we were gone and gave me much needed updates each day with photos too. She was very thorough and thoughtful with our little man in her hands and I know he was a happy cat while she watched him. I will definitely be using her again for our animals and sending referrals her way because I know they will be in good hands!!”
