1. Marshe P.
“Just came home after our first time using Rover for our 8 year old puppy, who is a ball of energy. Marshe was awesome! She is so nice and a great communicator. Cosmo really liked her too! He loved all of her attention and playtime; she really let him burn off his energy while house sitting. Cosmo is sleeping like a little baby and is happy as clam. 😀”
2. Karachi O.
“Karachi took excellent care of our dogs and home. She jumped to our rescue when our flight was delayed and stayed an extra night. Highly recommended.”
3. Lindsay J.
“Lindsay was fantastic! She sent lots of pictures and updates throughout the stay and took great care of Ruth Ann and the apartment. She was easy to communicate with and asked lots of questions about Ruth Ann’s routine which I appreciated. Would definitely use her again!”
4. Conor B.
“I recommend Conor without hesitation.. I live in FL but have a sister in Washington DC and needed someone to watch my dog. So my request posted on Rover was confusing to many potential dog sitters. Most didn’t read my description where I explained that I was visiting my sister who lives in Washington DC. Conor read it and understood what I needed and responded on very short notice. Conor was on time, professional and personable. . If you need someone to watch your dog, stop looking: sign up Conor!”
5. Joseph K.
“Joseph was great with Zeke, who can be handful at times being 10 months old. I received daily photos & messages. All my outdoor plants were kept watered! The house was as I left it & he washed & dried the bedding! Thank you Joseph!”
6. Michael P.
“Michael did a great job. He asked about our dogs feeding schedule, what they like to do for fun, and was very responsive to our communications. He was very respectful of our house and left it clean. We would use him again.”
7. Gabriela B.
“Gabriela was truly conscientious about following instructions on Brio’s care and routine. She reported on his day and sent pictures. Clearly, Brio enjoyed being with her. He was glad to see us on our return but was relaxed and free of anxiety. We definitely are glad to have found Gabriela.”
8. Giovanna P.
“We used Giovanna for house sitting recently and she was great! She came by before the visit to meet the dogs and go over care instructions. She was on time for all her visits and took great care of my 2 very energetic dogs. We will definitely be booking with Giovanna again in the future!”
9. Rakia P.
“Rakia was great with our senior dog this weekend. She stayed with her overnight and made sure she was well cared for. I appreciated the text and pic updates!”
10. Kimberly M.
“Kim was absolutely perfect! She communicated very consistently while I was away & made a creative effort to get my anxious dog to eat when he wouldn’t. She also left a really cute card for me when I returned home. I felt like Tino was in very safe & capable hands. We can’t wait to book with Kim again!”
11. Anna A.
“This was our first time leaving our 4 and 7 year old dogs with a non-family sitter for a vacation. Anna was great to communicate with leading up to our trip and always replied promptly. She did a wonderful job taking care of our dogs and sent us photos and updates during our trip which gave us peace of mind that all was well. She was also extremely conscientious about leaving everything nice and neat and even washed the towels and linens that she used and remade the bed. I would definitely use Anna again if the need arises and would recommend her to anyone looking for a dog and/or house sitter.”

“What an absolute life-saver and pet-whisperer Erin turned out to be. She was massively responsive, flexible, communicative, and the dogs showed a happiness with her that they've rarely shown to new-comers. I cannot recommend Erin highly enough.”
18. Jamie C.
“Jamie was an excellent sitter for our senior dog while we were away. She was very attentive to our dog's medicines and needs and sent us regular updates and photos. Biscuit seemed happy and well-cared for the entire time. We really appreciated Jamie's responsible and loving approach, and would highly recommend her services to anyone looking for a trustworthy dog and house sitter.”
