1. Lady N.


“Lady and Khayri are perhaps the most gracious, caring, and best overall dog sitters I have had the experience of working with. They stayed overnight in my home with my two fur babies for 8 days and nights in the midst on one of my dogs needing personalized medicinal attention due to an infection he acquired right before we left to get married. Not only did I receive MANY photos and videos of my smiling, happy and playful pups, but I came home to a clean apartment, and two dogs who were clearly spoiled rotten as requested while we were away. I cannot day enough wonderfully positive things about these AMAZING ladies. If you’re a first time ROVER user like my husband and I were, I HIGHLY recommend Lady and Khayri. I can say with 200% certainty that my husband and I have found our new dog sitters! Thank you Lady and Khayri from all of us!!!”


2. Amy R.

“Amy is splendid! Very organized, courteous, responsive and most importantly, a great animal caretaker! We have a hard time leaving our 13yr old dog and 11yr old cat but knew they were in great hands for the weekend. Amy’s flawless communication and pic updates helped a lot and the animals were so relaxed when we came back. Highly recommend Amy for overnights or any Rover service. We will definitely be booking Amy again if we can!”


3. Hannah F.

“My dog is a big weirdo and Hannah was super patient and understanding while she got comfortable. Hannah house sat for us and was able to keep our girl calm and comfy through her separation anxiety, meaning that we could focus on our trip without worries. Overall, great first experience with Rover !”


4. Lauren W.

“Outstanding care for my anxious, sweet, 94 lb dog.”


5. Lydia S.


“Lydia stayed at our house for 2 nights to babysit our rambunctious labradoodle puppy and she was amazing! She sent us pictures and updated us the whole time we were gone. She even taught our pup how to run next to the bike with her! I would highly recommend Lydia to take care of your dog :)”


6. Johana K.

“Jo was very reliable, kept in contact with us while we were away, and kept our house in great condition! Our dog was very happy to have her over and was clearly well cared for. I would definitely book with Jo again!”


7. Elias C.

“Elias was an incredible friend to our dog Ellie over the weekend. He is personable, kind, responsible and responsive. He sent us wonderful photos every day, kept us up to date on activities, diet, etc. My next door neighbor even made a point of telling me what a great sitter Elias was. She said she could hear him playing with Ellie in the yard and how great he was with her. Ellie looked genuinely sad when Elias left the house after we got home. Elias was also responsible and neat and left the house in pristine condition. I am happy to recommend Elias whole-heartedly and will certainly call him the next time the need arises.”


8. Jade B.

“I couldn’t be more grateful to have found Jade and Johnny to care for my sweet pit mix in my home. After having had 2 bad experiences with sitters, I honestly wasn’t sure if I’d be able to trust anyone outside of family again. Jade and Johnny were amazing in caring for my girl; she looked so happy in the photos I was getting! I knew upon meeting them that they were major dog lovers and would keep my sweet girl safe; I truly did not have one bit of anxiety for the duration of my trip. My home was also very well cared for. I would recommend Jade and Johnny to anyone in need of a sitter! Thank you guys SO MUCH!”


9. Gavin W.

“My dog seemed very happy and my house was well looked after. Gavin was great. Very loving and attentive to my dog. I got pictures daily and that gave me peace of mind.”


10. Elizabeth O.

“Elizabeth was amazing! She was so good with our three dogs and cat. They are a handful and we worry leaving them with new people but Elizabeth put our minds at ease with frequent updates and photos. She stayed at our house and left it cleaner than she found it! She really thought of everything to make sure our late arrival home was as smooth as possible. Would 100% recommend Elizabeth!”


11. Dalton M.

“I had the pleasure of meeting and working with Dalton for six days, during which she cared for our pets with dedication, love, and great responsibility. Throughout this period, Dalton stayed in our home, taking care of the animals wholeheartedly and giving them all the attention and love they needed. I have no doubt that I will reach out to her again whenever needed. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for reliable, loving, and devoted care—without hesitation!”


12. Michael B.

“Michael was incredibly kind and patient with our high-anxiety mini-poodle. He spent extra time getting to know our dog ahead of the stay, provided photos (album-worthy pictures!) and updates, and left our house in spotless condition. Five stars! We will absolutely hire Michael the next time we travel.”


13. Emily S.

“Emily took such good care of my two senior dogs. Very kind and patient, and also left my house in great condition after house-sitting. I would definitely recommend and will contact for sitting in the future. Thanks, Emily!”


14. Lina M.

“Lina was so wonderful with our dog while we were away. Our pup was recovering from surgery and she was able to handle her medication and medical needs with ease. Lina kept us updated throughout our time away and sent lots of photos. We would absolutely recommend her to anyone!”


15. Ivan S.

“Ivan was very patient and caring with my anxious Pitt bull and very energetic Rottweiler. They are not easy dogs to watch and he made me feel at ease while I was away.”


16. Zoe S.

“Zoe was amazing! We were very nervous in introducing our newest dog as this would've been the first time we left the two dogs together at home. Zoe, was prompt, attentive and the dogs warmed up right away. Highly recommend Zoe to the Rover community.”


17. Dru S.

“Dru house sat for us over the weekend, and we returned home to a truly happy puppy and a house in great shape. Dru is AMAZING!! We feel so lucky to have found her!”


18. Aida W.
“Aida is the best pet sitter! She watched our 2 cats and 2 dogs (1 small, I medium) at our house for 4 days and everyone seems to have loved her, even our grumpy older cat was cuddling with her on day 1. Aida went above and beyond to make us feel like our animals were safe and well taken care of, sending us frequent video and picture updates. She was as super communicative and respectful. 100% will hire again :)”


19. Preaundrea F.


“Pre was a God send. She took great care of my pups for a weekend. She stayed in constant contact and my pups really enjoyed her being here. My only request for next time would be to talk with any sitter about cleaning. I am on the OCD side and when you have multiple dogs, having a clean and odor-free home is crucial to me. Sitters are not housekeepers but I would need to ensure the sitter is willing to do some light housekeeping. I would definitely use Pre again because she was accommodating and beyond personable. She felt like I had family watching my dogs.”




20. Allison G.


“Allison took great care of my dog while I was away on vacation! When I returned, my home was just how I left it. Highly recommend her as a dog sitter and walker.”
