“Katlyn was amazing!! She took such great care of Obi, sent adorable pictures while still respecting our time, asked the right questions and left the house spotless! I can not recommend her enough! Thank you Katlyn!”
“Hope went above and beyond. My cat is a very needy and clingy boy, and she provided the love and attention he requires! She was super kind, sent me constant updates, left my house spotless, and most importantly, became instant BFFs with my little guy! Do yourself a favor and get Hope to pet sit for you. I won’t trust anyone else other than her from now on! THANK YOU!”

“Katrina took such great care of our very nervous pup, June. June took to her immediately (which is not normal for her), and we felt so confident having Katrina in our home. She also did a great job of giving June her thrice daily medicine, which we appreciated. Will 10000% rebook”

“Stella was amazing! She watched Franklin overnight and did such a great job keeping me updated with pictures and messages throughout the stay. That meant so much to me especially since Franklin can get pretty anxious when I am away. I felt totally at ease knowing he was in good hands. I would absolutely recommend Stella and would happily book her again! :)”

“Amazing communication, went above and beyond with my pets. They loved him and I am really grateful that he was able to help me out with such short notice. I received updates and pictures every walk, every few hours. One of my dogs is reactive and Stefan still went above and beyond to take him on long walks and handled him with such care and expertise. I have a hard time trusting anyone with my babies, but I can definitely trust Stefan. Thank you so much!”

“Dan was a life saver for watching my boys on relatively short notice when my friend cancelled. I'm always hesitant to have new people watch my pups because they are a bit quirky. But Dan suggested a meet and great and everyone seemed comfortable, including me! This trip was unlike any before because I literally had no cell service and I wasn't able to access wifi but a few times while gone. When I did finally get access, I caught up on plenty of pictures and updates on what was happening back home. This certainly put me at ease and I was able to enjoy being off the grid and know my boys were being exceptionally well taken of! Thank you Dan, I think Mannie and Jeter have found their new buddy while I'm away...”
“We absolutely loved Stephen. My entire household was happy and comfortable with him within hours. He took my dog on great adventures, left my home clean, and gave every animal individual attention.”

“Claudia was incredibly responsive and took amazing care of Penny! I really appreciated her detailed notes and pictures, and she really cared about how Penny was feeling. We would definitely love to book Claudia again!”

“At the last minute, I added a foster dog that had to stay quarantined from Hina. Sky was flexible and patient and did a great job with both my small dog and the big foster pit bull.”

“Brittany was so amazing! She was super communicative and flexible with my booking and Oscar absolutely loved her. I will definitely book with Brittany again if I need a long-term stay for Oscar!”

“Highly recommended Krista. Very communicative, on time and sent lots of photos. She took care of our anxious pup so well. Will be booking again soon.”

“Alex was an amazing dog/house sitter!! You can tell they really care about your pet’s care. Felt so reassured with constant communication and photos. Left the place tidy and even helped with dishes and laundry. Would definitely recommend!”

“Thank you Josh! He was top notch. I felt very secure leaving my baby and apartment in his care. He was responsive, attentive, gentle and friendly. I couldn’t expect more from a sitter.”

“Rachel did a great job house sitting our dog and 2 cats, including administering insulin shots and giving an asthma inhaler to our older cat. She was super nice and excellent with communication sending frequent pictures and updates. 10/10 would recommend”

“Ava is a sweetheart and took great care of our dog and cat. She was very patient with my older dog, and we got home to two happy animals! She also stayed our our apt and took great care of the place. Thank you Ava!”


“We are so grateful to have had Laurel stay with our dog Izzy while we were away! She was incredibly reliable and flexible, regularly checked in with updates, and clearly cared for our pup as if he were her own. We came home to a happy, well-cared-for dog and a spotless house. It gave us such peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands. Highly recommend Laurel for anyone looking for a trustworthy and attentive pet sitter!”


“Jackie did a great job with our cat and dog. She sent us regular updates and the house was in great shape when we got back. She even kept our plants alive through a hot spell. Thank you, Jackie!”

“Rachel was wonderful! Able to help out on short notice, totally professional, and did a great job keeping us updated when we were out of town. Our pup was as happy as ever and we would definitely recommend her to anyone!”

Girard Estates pet parents share their Rover experiences
Dominique did an amazing job watching my two senior beagles for a week! She stayed at our home and left the place sparkling and our doggies happy! Dominique was responsible and responsive, caring and very sweet to my dogs — we wouldn’t hesitate to have her watch the girls again, and highly recommend her!
Stella was wonderful with both of our dogs. She stayed in touch throughout our vacation and sent us plenty of pictures, which gave us great peace of mind. There was even a minor emergency during our time away, and she handled it exceptionally well—she was communicative, proactive, and kept us informed every step of the way. Overall, we would absolutely hire her again for future bookings.

Maddy is the best! She came to the rescue when I was away on vacation and had a scary situation with another sitter, whom I had to ask to leave. Maddy stepped in with very little notice and saved the day. I knew my dog would be happy, safe, cared for, and getting lots of snuggles with Maddy 😊
