“Nicole just doesn’t hug, snuggle and care for our furry ones, she watches the house and is attentive to all facets of our home and property. Izzy already misses her! BooBoo nonplused😀”


“Ariel was wonderful from beginning at Meet & Greet to our return. Great communication, fantastic pictures. Lexi, Luna, Leia & Theta are healthy & happy - and our home is very clean! Our quick trip out of town was seamless & worry free. Highly recommend!”



“Pam did a great job staying at my house with my 4-yr-old miniature poodle while I was away. I could tell when I got back that he had a really fun time with her, and he had been super well cared for. She sent lots of adorable photos, too. I would definitely hire her again!”


“Mya is wonderful!! She took great care of Violet while we were gone for a week. We got daily pictures! Mya provided a lot of snuggles and love. We are already booking with Mya again!!”


“Julia did an absolutely wonderful job house/pet sitting my 2 dogs while i was overseas. She was very thorough asking questions about the dogs care, was punctual and responsible, and left the house spotless. Felt very comfortable leaving her with the dogs, and would 100% book again.”


“Daniel was great! Short notice availability. He was very accommodating with some minor last minute requests, and also when our relatives had to drop by a few times. Consistently sent (VERY adorable!) photos with a brief note/comment every day while we were on vacation. Was good about being communicative and responding to any questions as needed. House was left pretty clean when we came back. Highly recommend!!”


“Carrie was great! She was accommodating, communicative, and clearly loved by our two dogs, who she took care of over the holiday. She gave meds and walked them daily, sent photos, and snuggled them. She also kept the house clean and was considerate about taking the garbage out and starting the laundry. I would recommend her!”


“Vanessa was an exceptional pet sitter! She took great care of our pup Mac, keeping him happy and well-looked after. She was reliable, professional, and maintained excellent communication throughout her time with him. I also appreciated how clean and organized everything was when I returned. I would highly recommend Vanessa to anyone looking for a trustworthy and attentive pet sitter!”


“Shereen is simply fantastic. She’s been walking our senior girl for a few months now, but this was the first time we’ve had her pup-sit. She sent regular updates and amazing photos and it was clear how well both pups were being cared for. I’m pretty sure our dogs don’t want us to come home. 😉”


“Addie took great care of our dog Fozzie, provided lots of great updates and left our house super neat and tidy! Would definitely book Addie to watch our pup again!”


“She exceeded my expectations. She was very careful and affectionate with my cat, and throughout the time, I received videos and photos in which the kitty looked very comfortable and happy. It is clear that she loves animals and knows exactly how to take care of them and make them feel comfortable and safe. She is very organized and responsible. In my case, she took care of my pet for eight consecutive days, and when I arrived, everything was perfect. I highly recommend her 100%.”


“Zoe was absolutely wonderful! Immediately when our pups did a meet and greet with her, they felt comfortable and at ease with her. Both of our pups can be a bit nervous around new people so this was impressive! She communicated and sent photos often during the trip and it was clear our pups were enjoying their time with her. The house was left clean and she even brought our packages inside for us. We look forward to booking with Zoe again!”


“This was our first time leaving our 2 rescue pups overnight and Whitney went above and beyond to make sure both they and we were comfortable! Her pictures and updates immediately put us at ease and we knew they were in good hands. We could tell from the moment we met Whitney that she's a bit of a "dog whisperer" - our pups are quite high maintenance and she was truly fantastic with them. Thank you Whitney!”


“Aly was fantastic! She watched my 5 month old puppy (and my home) for 5 days. She was super communicative with updates and pictures, and I can tell my dog had a great time! Bonus - the house was spotless when I got home. I would absolutely book Aly as a pet/house sitter again!”


“Highly recommend Kylee! She is very friendly, organized, reliable and took wonderful care of our three dogs while we were out of town. Kylee sent us a few updates daily and sent pictures to give us peace of mind. The house was also kept nice and neat! We look forward to having Kylee housesit in the future!”


“Lili stayed with Ralphie for the day. He immediately warmed up to her and I felt safe leaving Ralphie in her care. She sent us pictures while we were out, fed him dinner and took him for a walk I will definitely use her again!”

Glencarlyn pet parents share their Rover experiences
Clarise was absolutely amazing and took great care of Chadwick. She was extremely responsive and communicative. She shared lots of pictures and spoiled Chadwick rotten! I look forward to continuing Clarise’s care with Chadwick! She’s the best pet sitter and we highly recommend!

Laura was amazing with our senior cat. Laura ensured that she was eating and drinking (including some creative methods to increase appetite!), gave her regular exercise, and provided constant updates with lots of photos and videos. The cat couldn't be happier. Laura treated our home with respect and is generally a kind and friendly person. Highly recommend!

Taryn took excellent care of our dog and cat during our vacation. She was able to step in with short notice after our original pet sitter had to cancel. She was very prompt with communication and updates during the stay. Appreciated she was willing to spend each night at our home to reduce our dog's anxiety. Administer medication to our cat twice a day. Took in the mail and packages. Would recommend Taryn for your pet sitting needs.

Grace was fantastic! She was incredibly responsive and patient with a sick pup. She has a very welcoming personality that my pup loved! She frequently sent pictures and kept me up to date throughout her stay. 5/5 would recommend and will definitely be reaching back out for future stays!

Ellie was amazing! We were very anxious leaving Finley for a week, but he ended up being in such good hands. Ellie had great communication, was patient with our sometimes anxious and moody rescue dog, gave us helpful updates, took care of the house, and more. Couldn’t ask for a better caretaker and relieved that we have someone we can trust and book for next time!

Spencer did a great job giving us regular updates about our pets (dog and cat) while we were out of town. It was very reassuring knowing they were in good hands. They looked so happy in all of the photos he sent us so I know they had a great time. I would happily have Spencer watch our pets again.
