“Heather is amazing! Right away my mind was at ease with having her stay with our pup. Our dog was relaxed and happy upon us returning and I know she was well taken care of and enjoyed her time with Heather. Will 100% be booking in the future 😊”


2. Taryn M.

“This was our first time using Rover for house sitting and it was worth it! Taryn is so sweet, she kept us updated on our pets and sent us plenty of pictures. We had a meet and greet prior to booking but of course my pets loved her! I knew my babies were in the best hands and look forward to booking with Taryn again! ?”

8. Savannah W.

“Savannah did great with our two dogs and six consecutive overnights. She arrived on time and there were no issues. We will definitely be using Savannah again!”


9. Andrew H.

“Andrew is a godsend. We've had him to sit for our Rhodesian ridgeback and our Staffy twice, for 4 days and 10 days, respectively, and we have both times come back to 2 happy and healthy dogs, who looked at us like we had only been gone a short while. They had neither gained stress weight nor become too skinny, and we could tell Andrew had been diligent taking them out frequently. He had mixed in their favorite food toppers and given them their medicine as we asked. He is a kind person, and you can tell he thinks deeply about things, and people's and pets' feelings. He even swept and tidied up, got our mail from our mailbox, and had our packages all neatly inside. He is as the proverb says, a good traveler who leaves no mark, leaving our house exactly as, if not better than, he found it. I can't say enough about the peace of mind Andrew has given us, especially the second time, since we already knew we could trust him. We were able to go to Disney World and have a truly magical time because we knew he was caring for our dogs and our house as we would have done.”


10. Mercedes B.

“Mercedes was absolutely amazing when house sitting my doggos. She was prompt, had consistent communication, and even when responding to an unexpected house issue she was diligent and committed to ensuring I was aware what was going on and that my doggos were well taken care of. I cannot say enough of how grateful I am.”


11. Michaela A.

“Michaela was wonderful to work with. She watched my dog and my parent’s dog for a couple hours because we didn’t want to leave them unattended. She sent adorable photos of snuggles and play time with the pups. She was great to communicate with and seemed to be very comfortable around the pups right away. Would highly recommend!”


12. Kassia W.

“Kassia was great! She was available pretty last minute (huge procrastinator here). I didn’t want to board my dogs as they are rescues and I didn’t want them to feel abandoned. Kassia was available to make frequent trips to my house (one of my doggos has a tiny bladder) for an extended weekend. She was quick to respond and she was able to visit the day after first communicating to meet my dogs. She texted me pics of my boys while I was away to let me know they were okay. I left a lot of notes on medicine and vitamins they take and she left notes back to let me know what she gave them and when. I highly recommend her.”


13. Vanessa R.

“Vanessa is a wonderful sitter. My pets loved her, she noticed little things about my dogs that show how much attention she was showing them. She is a great communicator and sent a lot of photos during the stay.”


14. Anna W.

“Anna was great! She sent us pictures and snuggled with our dogs. I will definitely use her again!!”


15. Meniah D.
“I know that Meniah has worked face to face with the public for at least 5 years and also that she has or had a husky which are some of the most energetic dogs around. I think that she would definitely provide a safe experience for any dog because she treated her dog like her sister instead of her pet.”


16. McKenna R.

“McKenna is the best in the Midwest! She was so good with my Samoyed pup. My pup had a blast staying with her! McKenna also was so good with communication sending updates and pics.”


17. Niyah M.

“I'm so grateful to Niyah for dogsitting my Mouche while I was away for the weekend. She communicated promptly, showed up when she said she would, sent me pictures of Mouche, and left my house in perfect condition. Her calm energy and patience was exactly what my dog needed. I would hire her again in a heartbeat.”


18. Wendi S.

“We always have Wendi care for our fur babies. The piece of mind she provides us when we are away is PRICELESS! She is an excellent communicator, providing regular updates. Pics & vids of our babies is the BEST when we are away! Thx Wendi!!”


19. Markiya C.
“Markiya is the most patient human I know. She is so gentle with animals and my dogs love her!! She is very flexible with her schedule. She was able to accommodate us for Christmas!!”


20. Katlynn S.
“To Whom It May Concern, I am writing to highly recommend Katy as a dog sitter on Rover.com. I have had the pleasure of knowing Katy for several years, and I can confidently say she is a compassionate, responsible, and trustworthy individual, making her an excellent choice for caring for pets. Katy has always had a natural affinity for animals, particularly dogs. Over the years, I’ve witnessed her interact with various dogs, from small puppies to large breeds, and her patience and kindness towards them are truly remarkable. She understands the unique needs of each dog and tailors her care to ensure they are comfortable, happy, and well-cared for. Not only is Katy an animal lover, but she is also incredibly reliable and organized. She takes her responsibilities seriously, whether it's adhering to feeding schedules, providing exercise, or ensuring that dogs receive the necessary attention and affection. I have seen her go above and beyond to make sure pets feel safe and loved, which is why I have no doubt she will be a fantastic sitter for anyone seeking her services. Katy’s trustworthy nature and attention to detail make her an ideal candidate for any dog-sitting job. I wholeheartedly recommend her and am confident that she will exceed your expectations in caring for your furry companions. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any further questions. Sincerely, Neil Kristensen”
