“Renee was fabulous with our girls! She was so kind and gentle with them. Our girls are older and she was so patient and kept them so entertained. And if that wasn’t enough I came home to a clean home. I would definitely use her again because we were able to relax knowing our girls were taking care of, we were so grateful 😊”
“Cat was incredible watching our two dogs! She was patient and attentive with our nervous dog, and made us feel comfortable while on our trip by checking in and sharing plenty of photos.”
“Elizabeth was absolutely fantastic. She communicated regularly and sent pictures often. She also went above and beyond cleaning up which was a nice surprise after a week of business travel. I would highly recommend her and will be reaching out again.”
“Lili was a great companion to our pup Charlie and our spazzy cat Beanie while we were out of town for the weekend. We really appreciated her daily check-ins and photo updates, and both our boys instantly got along with her (which is kinda rare for our cat!). We’ll definitely be calling her again the next time we have to travel!”
“Nicole was fantastic! She was organized, communicative, and clearly took great care of our dog while housesitting for several days. It's easy to see why she's a Star Sitter. We'll definitely hire her again in the future.”
“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!”
“Oriana was fabulous when staying in our home and taking care of our 12 year old Havanese. First, she offered to do a meet and greet in person before our vacation. Then while we were away for 10 days, she sent daily photo updates and was extremely responsive. She left our house in even cleaner condition than it was when she arrived, and was even thoughtful enough to replace the milk in our refrigerator. Would love to have her again and highly recommend Oriana!”
“Claudia was amazing as usual! She was amazingly flexible with an extended, weird sitting schedule and my pup always seems happy and well cared for on my return. Book with confidence!”
“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!”
“We booked for Christina for house/dog sitting over the weekend and had a great experience. She sent daily updates of our dogs and left our house in great condition. We'd definitely book with Christina again.”
“Writing a 2nd review for the extra day we had to add on the back end of our trip due to train delays—because I really can’t overstate how helpful Karuna was during that time! She answered right away, locked in the extra day quickly, and stayed in touch that evening and throughout the next day to make sure our pets received the care they need. After the stress of the delays, it was such a relief to come home to our apartment in perfect order and our pets in high spirits!❤️”
“Kellie is an excellent pet sitter. She is reliable and responsive. She took great care of our two dogs for two weeks. This was our first time with Kellie and we plan to request her help in the future.”
“Ajia was amazing with our two boys. She is very communicative, leaving us with no worries during our trip, super responsive to our messages and took great care of my apartment. I think we found our permanent walker.”
“Brianna treated my dogs like they were her own. I was able to relax and enjoy my vacation with no worries. In fact, I think the dogs were a little disappointed when she left and I came home.”
“Daniel took such great care of our 2 dogs while we were away! He was very communicative, competent and super sweet to our pups. We would definitely recommend his services!”
Glencarlyn pet parents share their Rover experiences
We had a great experience with Tom while we were out of town for the evening. He took wonderful care of our dog—giving her lots of snuggles, taking her on nice long walks, and making sure she got plenty of attention. He was also very communicative throughout the evening and sent lots of pictures, which we really appreciated. It gave us peace of mind knowing she was happy and well cared for. We’d definitely be happy to have him watch her again!
Tim did awesome watching our dog Fia. We were able to relax on vacation knowing our girl was being well cared for back home. He followed all of the instructions we left. We never had to ask for updates as he provided them throughout the day. He went above and beyond during the week. We will be booking with him again anytime we need a sitter.
Karuna has been great with our two critters! I especially appreciate her flexibility and quick response times, as it’s made last minute delays/general travel chaos easier to navigate. I also really appreciate that when I forgot to update our care instructions after we moved, Karuna rolled with the punches and quickly figured out our new layout and where everything belonged.
Victoria was fantastic. She stayed with our elderly, sweet and very bossy border collie for four nights and took the best care of him. Throughout the entire time she provided us with lots of updates and photos and was extremely quick to reply if we ever checked in. Kramer normally is pretty mad at us when we get back from a trip, but this time it seemed like he was the one who got a little doggie vacation! We highly recommend Victoria!
We are so grateful to have found Sabrina to watch our pup Wrigley. We came home to a very relaxed, happy dog, and the house was exactly as we left it. Sabrina was communicative, sent daily pics/updates, and clearly took great care of Wrigley. Would not hesitate to recommend her and can’t say enough great things!
10/10 would recommend Tyler. She was extremely communicative before and during her stay at our place with our dog Sugar. It was very clear that Sugar got tons of attention and that Tyler really does care a lot. Sugar doesn’t do well with some other dogs and I felt very comfortable having Tyler walk her in our neighborhood. Tyler is professional, flexible, and has a great sense of humor which I appreciated in the updates she provided. We have already booked her again.
Emma did a wonderful job! She was very accommodating. She allowed our Poppy to stay at her home when renovations to our place were not finished in time. I don’t think Poppy behaved as well at Emma’s as she does at home so we truly appreciated Emma’s fortitude. We received sweet pics of Poppy out on walks with Emma and snuggling with her in her home. We would definitely recommend Emma!
