1. Carolyn Q.

“Carolyn gave us such peace of mind. She immediately engaged with Bentley which allowed us to ease out the door. We had never left him before and it went amazingly perfect! He played, ate and got tired. He didn’t exhibit any stress. We wish Carolyn lived in COLORADO!! Thank you Rover for having Carolyn on your team.”


2. Della Y.

“Della went above and beyond with house sitting our 4 cats. We had especially been concerned our senior cat who had been loosing weight. She kept us up to date with all 4 cats and let us know when he was going downhill, trying everything in her effort to get him fed. Definitely would use again!”


3. April C.
“April loves animals and takes great care of my pets when I need someone to watch them. She is great with both cats and dogs and has always been reliable.”


4. Karla N.

“Karla is so kind and patient! She made me feel super comfortable with Bentley being a little reactive with other doggy friends which provided me extra reassurance. She was friendly and worked with Bentley throughout the stay. She also was super accommodating for a last minute request I had due to flight delays. Absolutely, would use her services again.”


5. Leo H.

“We went out of town for a few days and had Leo house sit and watch our two pups. We loved the daily updates and the dogs seemed very happy when we got home. We really appreciated Leo taking care of our home and our dogs while we were away and would definitely hire him again.”


6. Abigail V.

“Abigail was a fantastic housesitter. She took good care of our 2 dogs and cat and kept us updated and sent photos. We will definitely book her again the next time we go out of town. Thank you ?”


7. Gillian V.
“I can't thank Gillian enough for taking such great care of my Boston Terrier, Baylee! From the moment we met, I could tell she was truly passionate about animals. She was incredibly attentive and made sure Baylee felt right at home. Gillian sent regular updates and photos, which put my mind at ease while I was away. It's clear that she treats the pets in her care like her own. I’m so grateful to have found someone so reliable and loving to watch over Baylee. I highly recommend Gillian to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter!”


8. Justine M.

“Justine was great! Very responsive, kept us updated the whole time with pics and text, flexible with pick up & drop off (esp considering our flight home was delayed), and was even kind enough to do a meet up beforehand to make sure our pup was comfortable while we were gone.”


9. Izayah C.

“Izayah was great!! Our 2 dogs really loved him and he sent constant video updates, really putting my fiancé and I at peace while we were out of the country for 10 days. He went above and beyond and got them so many treats and more food — would highly recommend! We came home to a clean apartment and 2 very happy dogs.”


10. Andrea B.

“Andrea was awesome as always! Super reliable, very responsive with communication. And she does, in fact, spend her time here, with our dogs - not just popping in and out every couple of hours. She cares for our fur babies like her own. Our dogs love her, and so do we.”


11. Tara S.

“Tara was excellent and the best person we could have entrusted our dogs to for the weekend. She gave me updates, took plenty of pictures and was soo friendly with my dogs. Will definitely be using her services in the future.”


12. Kyle L.
“Kyle is one of the hardest workers I know. He is driven, self-motivated, and responsible. When interacting with animals, he is patient, affectionate, and cares for them as his own. When I've left my dog in Kyle's care, he's been well tended to and cared for. Kyle prides himself on his work ethic and appreciates honesty and transparency.”


13. Denny & Aleksander C.

“Couldn’t have been better sitters. No comments or complaints. Very happy with their service.”


14. Emily W.
“Emily took care of my dog and cat over a long weekend while I was away for work. She is reliable, easy to communicate with, and clearly good with animals. I appreciated all the updates she sent, and it was obvious when I got home that my pets had been well cared for, since they weren’t all over me for attention. Would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable sitter.”


15. Meagan M.


“We have two pups, one is epileptic. His last two episodes happened while we were out of town and they were with a sitter, so we wanted to try having someone stay at our home with them instead hoping he would be more relaxed while we were gone. Meagan was awesome. She was very respectful of our place and she was diligent about giving our pup his meds when he needed them. They seemed happy and rested when we got home. I'll definitely be reaching out to Meagan again in the future.”


16. Arlett C.

“Vanessa did a fantastic job taking care of my cat and dog! She was very communicative each day, sending pictures, answering questions, and providing updates. She is a great option for your pet care needs and will be my go to rover going forward! Thanks Vanessa!”


17. Essence G.
“There's no one else I would use for my 2 dogs! Essence always goes above and beyond when it comes to them because she knows how much they mean to me. She followed all of their feeding and walking instructions and sent me continuous pictures throughout my leave. My family and my dogs absolutely LOVE HER!”


18. Rebecca R.

“Rebecca was so thorough in preparation of helping care for our pups while we were away. Helped us to feel confident during her care and stay with them. She sent updates and pictures which helped the communication stay consistent and open, which was nice too! Grateful for her services!!”


19. Brianne L.

“Brianne watched our sweet pup on super short notice. She warmed up to her immediately, and took wonderful care of her. We are selective on who watches our baby, and we wouldn't hesitate to book Brianne again!”




20. Jeannine B.

“For five years we have not been on vacation, because we could not find anyone that we felt comfortable leaving our dogs with until we found Jeannine. We are so thankful we met her! She communicated with us the whole time we were gone and reassured us they were doing well. She is kind, responsible, and takes her job seriously. Cannot say enough good things about her.”
