House Sitting Gateway

Luz was absolutely amazing! She stayed at my home with my two dogs while I was out of town for the weekend and was incredibly attentive throughout the entire stay. She sent lots of texts and photo updates, which was amazing and made me feel super comfortable knowing my girls were happy and being well taken care of. She was also an amazing house guest, I came home to my apartment just as clean, if not cleaner, than when I left! Most importantly, the dogs were happy and clearly well cared for. I felt completely confident having her stay with them and will 100% be booking her again for future trips. I couldn’t recommend her enough!

Kaitie was stellar. Her calm disposition meshed well with my anxious dog. She got my dog comfortable quicker than I have seen before. The home was at least as tidy as I left it. I would recommend unconditionally.

William is my go-to sitter to watch my dogs and is always welcome in my home. He's thorough and communicative no matter where I'm at in the world or for how long I'm gone. I appreciate his dedication.

Jenya was an amazing sitter! She was super communicative and prompt with pictures and updates throughout the stay. She took the time to understand my dog’s unique needs and personality, and I came home to find the house spotless and my dog very happy. Would highly recommend!!

Clarisse was great with my older cat Emmy. She has asthma and needed meds 2x a day, and Clarisse took care of that and sent numerous updates so I didn’t have to worry about her.

Thank you! The dogs were well loved and my home was taken create care of as well! Great communication and lots of updates. Highly recommend!

Wonderful sitter! She took great care of our pets, came over for a meet and greet beforehand, listened patiently as I explained my older dogs needs, and was communicative while we’re gone. She left the house clean and tidy and was a pleasure to get to know.

Jade was absolutely fantastic from start to finish! She was quick and easy to communicate with, always on-time, and followed all directions. My 4 pups loved her! She took excellent care of my babies and I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter. I will for sure be contacting her again in the future!

Meagan was such a wonderful sitter for our senior dog and our two kitties. Right from the start, we felt like they were in good hands. She followed all of our instructions and took great care of our home. She sent us lots of updates and asked questions up front. It was such a seamless experience and we will definitely book her again if we need another sitter!

Anna was great with our high energy dog and two cats! Our teenage dog can be a handful and she did great with her. There was even a house issue when we were gone and she handled it well and was a huge help. The house was left super clean as well. I would definitely recommend her and book with Anna again!

Brooke was wonderful! She gave us regular updates and photos throughout the stay, which gave us a lot of peace of mind. She was also incredibly respectful of our home—we came back to everything clean, organized, and very well cared for. Most importantly, our 13-week-old puppy, Marlowe, was clearly loved and well cared for. Brooke did a great job keeping her on her routine and making sure she was comfortable and happy while we were away. We had a great experience and would absolutely book Brooke again!

Brittany was simply awesome. She is very communicative and thoughtful, and really cares about making sure you have peace of mind that your dogs are in good hands while away. She goes above and beyond to make sure the pets are having fun, too! Cannot thank Brittany enough for her help.

This is the first time for Kaitlin to sit with our new tripawd rescue, Chilly. We haven't yet been able to leave Chilly for more than a couple hours. Working on that ..... Kaitlin was super responsive, understood our needs and Chilly's. She set up a meeting and greet and Chilly took to her. On the day, Chilly was comfortable with her and Kaitlin put my mind at ease to be out of the house for the first time in a couple months. I look forward to being able to have a sitter with experience with a quirky, special needs dog.

As novices on rover, we were quite nervous about trial-runs with new sitters. Our meet & greet with Brenda was very impressive with her extensive background in animal care, work with shelters and rescues; we quickly booked a trial-run with her for the following two days/nights. The trial-run went extremely well. Anytime we contacted her for anything, she course-corrected as requested. She was great with our fur babies, making sure they were safe, ate well and were medicated as instructed. Brenda is a great find! She is at the top of our contact list for pet care and house-sitting while we travel.

I’m so grateful to have found Evelyn! I tend not to go out of town because my three kitties usually get nervous about my absence (I wfh). I have always just had a neighbor pop by twice per day and call it good. Last time I was away for a few days, I came home and the cat dynamic in the house had changed for the worse. I feared I couldn’t ever go out of town or leave for longer than a few hours without causing them harm. I wanted to take my daughter on an end-of-summer adventure vacation, and set to find a solution that would be good for everyone. I knew it would be better for the fur babies to have someone just stay with them at the house to make sure they felt safe and cared for, but didn’t have anyone I could ask. I was cautious about inviting a stranger onto my home to stay while I was gone, but looked into Rover because I’ve only heard good things. I’m so glad I did, because I found an angel in Evelyn! Evelyn came over a few days before we left for our trip to meet the cats and find out about how we care for them so there is as little disruption as possible. Evelyn was so kind and professional and thorough! She asked a bunch of questions about our routine and house care (i.e., plant maintenance, etc) and wrote down all care instructions. I could tell she truly cared about animals and I found trust came very easily with her. While on our trip, I received pics and notes about what the kitties were up to and knew that they were being fed and played with and cared for. They looked like they were just going about their normal day and getting as much pets as they wanted! One of the babies looked to have taken very well to Evelyn. :) I felt so much better about being away from home, and enjoyed my vacation sooooo much more, knowing such a caring and thoughtful person was looking after them. I felt comfortable with her staying in my home and had a good feeling that she was respecting our home space. I came home to a tidy and easy-feeling vibe in the house. I hope she can come fill in for us for all of our trips out of town. Thank you so much, Evelyn!!

Vanessa was wonderful; from the moment she came to our meet and greet, our doggies loved her! She definitely has the calm, light yet assertive energy, which helps doggies follow instructions. She took care of our two high-energy babies, so well. My husband and I are happy we found her!!

Jennifer was awesome- super communicative and extra sweet with our pets. She gave our dog extra walks and even made little toys for our kitties. Left the house spic and span. Highly recommend!

Having Jayna stay with our dog while we were out of town was a great experience! She was very communicative both before and during our trip, and was very nice about sending us regular updates and photos. She left our house perfectly clean after the weekend. We will happily have her back again!

Karen took such wonderful care of our pets and our home while we were away. We came home to happy pets and a tidy house, and she kept us updated throughout our trip, which gave us so much peace of mind. We really appreciated how reliable and attentive she was. We would 100% recommend Karen to anyone looking for a great sitter and would absolutely love to have her stay again!

Vanessa was very communicative and super nice! Louis seemed to have a lot of fun and I would be happy to leave him with her in the future
