“Summar was absolutely FANTASTIC as our dog sitter this past week. She sent multiple updates per day with adorable pictures of Comet having adventures throughout the day as well as a description of his daily activities. She left us a welcome home note, printed collage of Comet picture from the week, and a treat upon our return! The house was in perfect shape and Comet was a very happy puppy. He LOVED Summar - she has a very natural, outgoing, loving personality that set me and Comet at ease immediately. I will use Summar as often as she is available to dog sit in the future. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!! Thank you Summar for your thoughtful and attentive care of our beloved pooch Comet!”
“Karachi took fantastic care of our two dogs and cat over the weekend. She sent great updates while we away, and left the house totally spotless when we got back. Considering this was a bit of a last minute request, I'm really thankful that she was able to come out within a couple of days for a meet and greet and come the next weekend.”
“Erica watched our two cats Waldo and Dumpling for a little over two weeks. We came home to two very happy kitties! Dumpling is especially shy but Erica gained her trust and they appeared to be good friends by the end of the stay. Erica followed all of our instructions while we were gone and took good care of our home too. We also got daily photos and updates while we were gone. Would definitely book again in the future. Thanks Erica!”
“Halle was incredible! She updated me multiple times a day with pictures and details. She was extremely respectful of my home and most importantly my fur babies were happy and loved. I can’t wait to book with Halle again!”
“Nicole was AMAZING! We felt so comfortable and assured that Mila was safe and getting plenty of love. Nicole sent so many excellent pics and updates, and left the house in perfect condition! Can’t wait to book again!”
“Lauren is reliable and has great communication. She is very sweet with our senior dog and takes excellent care of her. She is also a clean and respectful house guest. We really appreciate her and highly recommend her.”
“Sydney was great. Happy dogs lots of walks and outdoor playtime for the two poochies. Photo updates gave us peace of mind. She stayed in our home tor four days and there were no issues whatsoever. Would book her again in a heartbeat.”
“Kymberlee is very responsible and professional. She housesat for me and looked after my dog over the weekend, and I was very grateful for her capable demeanor and experience, especially because my dog had a recent injury and needed extra attention. She left my apartment in much better shape than she found it, and she dropped everything to help after I realized I’d left my ID at home while I was traveling. She is truly a class act, professional individual, and I highly recommend her.”
“Salma was great! She followed instructions very well and took excellent care of our cat, Mochi! Came back to a well cared for pet and apartment. Would highly recommend!”
“Nick quickly responded when I reached out. We met ahead of time and he was great with my dog. He sent me daily photos while taking care of my dog. My dog was happy and well cared for while I was away and my house was left in good shape. I will definitely use Nick again.”
“Really appreciate Jared's attention to detail. Our pets have a somewhat complicated feeding schedule! Communication level was great and gave us peace of mind while we were away.”
“Maggie was wonderful! She sent tons of photos and updates… and put up with my pup who ended up having tummy issues while she was watching him, even cooking him some rice to help. Super thankful it was her who was there to help him while we couldn’t. Trustworthy & wonderful with dogs.”
“Tara is amazing. She stayed with my 2 Yorkies this past weekend and was wonderful with them. She kept me up-to-date on what they were doing with videos, pictures, and texts.. I loved it. She played with them and got lots of kisses from them. I felt very comfortable having her take care of them, and that is a really good feeling.”
“Adelia was extremely communicative and provided updates on Mookie throughout her stay. She was great about maintaining his everyday routine, including managing his separation anxiety medication. I’d highly recommend her services for anyone looking for a great sitter!”
“Christina has been cat sitting my two fur babies for a couple of months when I go on business trips. She has wonderful communication and my cats (who are picky) love when she’s over. They are well taken cared of and hope to continue booking with Christina for future pet sitting needs ! Thank you, Christina !”
“Amazing! Kai took such great care of my dog; gave him a ton of attention and took him out to meet his family which was very sweet. Rio seemed to have a blast with him, I will absolutely be using Kai again in the future. Thank you!”
“John was so very courteous and kind to help out our family at the last minute due to my mom's hospitalization. He was very understanding of our need to be with my mom, and did a wonderful job of caring for Sherlock, our English Setter, who is such a total couch potato. Turned a stressful experience into an much appreciated family time with my mom.”
“Carlos was an incredible sitter! Athena is a very anxious dog and he was patient with her and gave her everything she needed. He went above and beyond. Will be hiring again in the future.”
Friendship Heights pet parents share their Rover experiences
We so enjoyed having Miaki stay with Goose and Roo while we were out of town. Miaki is very communicative and thorough - we appreciated that she came by to meet the dogs beforehand and proactively asked questions to ensure that the dogs would be well taken care of in our absence. Miaki sent daily updates throughout our trip, and we can home to very happy dogs. We look forward to Miaki’s next visit and are sure our dogs will be excited to see her too.
I am so lucky to have found Lauren. She is so good with my dog who has a lot of separation anxiety but he quickly warmed up to her wonderful personality and is so comfortable with her. I can’t praise her enough. She always keeps me updated and will continue to be our #1 go to :)
Halle took such great care of our active pup and home while we were on an extended trip. She made sure to send us daily updates and photos and took extra care when he had a stomach bug during her stay. We felt so at ease knowing she was caring for him so well. Highly recommend.
This was Kayleigh’s second time housesitting for us and once again we were very happy! She provided detailed updates and plenty of cute photos. When a sticky situation arose with our cats, I always felt like they were in good hands and trusted her to act in their best interest. She is a very responsible and communicative sitter, and left our place spotless.
Fantastic sitter! Frankie is a newly adopted rescue who is still settling in and can be a bit of a terrier goblin, so I was nervous about leaving her. Isabel was calm, patient, and clearly experienced with dogs. Frankie was happy and relaxed when I got home. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing she was in good hands. Highly recommend!
Claire was easy-going, attentive and responsible, despite having to take a final exam during the days when she was house sitting. She was always flexible about meeting up before the pet sitting began. She kept my beloved dog and cat alive and well while I was out of town, which was my main priority. But she also paid attention to their moods, appetites (or lack thereof) and individual needs, which I greatly appreciated. My place was so clean when I returned, it was almost as if she wasn't even here! Thank you, Claire!
Alex is amazing! We had to leave town at the last moment, and Alex did everything in his power to make this a stress free trip. He met Baloo the day before we left and we knew immediately that Baloo would be in great hands. Alex sent regular updates and pictures and we could see how happy and relaxed Baloo was. Alex stayed at our house and let us know when he was leaving and when he returned, and left it cleaner than it was before he arrived. We look forward to having Alex hang out with Baloo again.
Brenay took wonderful care of my senior Pomeranian, Mickey, while I was away for a few days. Mickey has a few special needs due to his age, and she was very attentive, patient, and caring with him throughout the stay. She followed all of my instructions carefully, including using his stroller on walks and checking on him during the night to make sure he was comfortable. She also sent me updates and photos, and it was clear that she treated Mickey with a lot of kindness and affection. On top of that, she took great care of my home as well and left everything very clean and tidy, which I truly appreciated. I would definitely trust her to watch Mickey again in the future. Thank you again, Brenay!
Julie was the best sitter we have ever had! She stayed in our home to watch our beloved pup for almost two weeks. She provided updates every day, great photos, followed all instructions, coordinated with our neighbors, and left our home nice and clean. On top of that, we left for our wedding, and she even joined our Zoom so our pup could be a part of the wedding. Julie is a gem and recommend to anyone!!
Timo was the absolute best! We traveled for the long weekend and he house/pet sat our two pitties and cat. At the meet and greet Timo asked all the right questions and was very thorough. He immediately put us at ease. During the stay he was communicative (great pics of our pets) and kept us updated on how everything was going. One of our pups needs medication and he made sure she got that every day. She’s also not great at dog parks so he planned out walks instead. Our flight was delayed while we were returning and Timo was kind enough to stay a bit longer to give our pets some extra love!
