1. Sarah C.
“Sarah did amazing house sitting our two pups! She sent photos and videos and even checked in on our guinea pigs for us. We highly recommend and will look forward to having her watch them again in the future!”
2. Alex F.
“Alex & his wife took care of my 3 pups over a long weekend. I had them stay at my home as 2 are foster dogs & more comfortable here now. Everything was great & the pups were well taken care of.”
3. Natalee C.
“Incredible sitter! Natalee was super communicative and Peanut took to her right away :) Dealt with my anxiety about leaving my pup with someone new like a champ and even managed to give him ear drops which he hates! Sent lots of adorable photos and also took great care of our home. I will definitely be back!!”
4. Becky G.
“Becky is wonderful. She is professional and caring. She took the time to meet Tahlula and Scarlet about a month before our trip and then came back a few days before to meet them again and walk through their feeding instructions with us. She checked in with us and sent pictures throughout our trip. I would recommend Becky to anyone.”
5. Theron T.
“Theron was responsible and very kind to our puppy. Definitely would book him again. An excellent pet sitter!!”
6. Izzy Y.
“Izzy took care of my two Huskies for three days, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. She has a genuine love for animals and was very responsible. My dogs absolutely adored her and were well taken care of, with plenty of exercise and affection. Izzy was professional, punctual, and kept me updated with photos and messages. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter. Thank you, Izzy, for taking such great care of my Huskies!”
7. Gage W.
“Gage was super nice, Prince liked him instantly. Thanks again!”
8. James P.
“James is the best. He really melted Tuggy’s heart and is such a great caregiver! He stayed with Tuggy most days and nights! He stayed until we got home Sunday afternoon. He sent us multiple pictures to put our minds at ease so we could really enjoy our weekend away with family! The best thing was how calm Tug seems now that we are home — he is not frantic and clingy as he often is when we get back. I recommend James. He’s reliable and really loves dogs! Thanks James. We and Tuggy hope to see you soon. Shari.”
9. Madison B.
“Madison did an outstanding job caring for our girl! She was responsive from the get-go and from the initial meet-and-greet, I could tell she was a kind, gentle, and patient person--which was really important for our sensitive and fearful dog. She was careful to note all the daily particulars of our dog's care but more than that, was intuitive about her body language and good and knew just how to read and interact with her--clearly, she has experience with dogs! I was very nervous to leave our new dog for the first time, but Madison's preparation and communication put me at ease. She double checked instructions, checked in regularly with photos, and was very accommodating to the particularities (walking equipment, meals, meds, etc) of our dog's care. She even worked on a little training with our dog, reinforcing some of the work we had begun; she was brave enough to tackle the challenge! Madison has a warm and caring demeanor, which I think dogs sense too! As a pet owner, I was completely at peace during my time away--I know our dog was in great, responsible hands and I had nothing to worry about. Madison's confidence and capabilities did a lot for me and my dog. She took wonderful care of our home as well! I returned home to a very happy and healthy pooch, who I suspect had an even better vacation than I did :) I am very grateful and will certainly be rebooking. Look no further for your pet care needs--Madison gets my highest recommendation, without reservation! :)”
10. Gabi S.
“Gabi was amazing with our dog while we were in St Louis for a show. We needed someone last minute to stay with him in our hotel because he’s afraid of storms and the weather was questionable. He immediately warmed up to her and we had a great night knowing he wasn’t alone.”
11. Kate O.
“Kate was an amazing young lady to meet. In our initial Meeting, we felt at ease. She took great care of our fur babies especially our senior pup!! She was a Godsend!”
12. Megan N.
“We loved having Megan stay with the girls. The girls were so happy and content when we returned, and the house was left in great condition!”
13. Catelyn R.
“It is super hard for those of us with elderly animals to find peace of mind when you have to leave your precious pet, they may have anxiety, medical issues, and certainly confusion over the temporary change. Add to that, the my dog hasn't had a non family member sitter in many years, and there was a decent amount of stress going into this sort trip. Catelyn was quite literally a saving grace for me. She gave me updates consistently, updating on food, potty times, and Nonnie's general behavior. But more than that - she absolutely gave me confidence that my sweet old lady was in the best of hands. I could not have asked for a more caring and compassionate sitter. It is clear that she loves dogs, and cares for all of those in her charge as her own. She even went above and beyond by cleaning up the doggie food containers, picking up poop in the backyard and changing out the sheets on the bed (just all star moves right there) It was wonderful knowing that I had someone so competent with my dog and my house. I will absolutely not hesitate to book her for my next out of town trip.”
14. Maddie K.
“Maddie is a fantastic sitter and we love having her watch our pups. She is communicative, caring, excellent with meds, and our 15-year-old grumpy old lab mix clearly loves her. When she stays in our home, we feel complete peace of mind being away and knowing that our dog is safe and happy. Thanks again, Maddie!!”
15. Morgan S.
“Morgan is fantastic and reliable! She was very sweet and attentive with my doggies. Every minor request we asked of her, she overdelivered. She sent me updates and pictures everyday and my babies looked very happy. I would definitely recommend!”
16. Alisa G.
“Alisa was able to help lucky last minute and we are very appreciative. Thank you for taking such good care of him and sending pics.”
17. Sierra S.
“Sierra has been great at watching our dog Nico! She treats him like her own. Nico gets plenty of snuggles and tons of play time with her two other dogs. Her two dogs do great with other dogs and they have a large backyard to run around.”
18. Katie S.
“It was a pleasure having Katie sit with our dog. She was prompt and left the house in great shape while taking good care of our fur baby. We would recommend Katie to anyone.”
19. Suzanne B.
“First time using Rover, or having someone who isn’t family watch our babies. Suzanne did a wonderful job, she came out a couple days before booking and met our babies. She was on time and even stayed a little longer to make sure they weren’t home alone to long. Really appreciate her time and care. Will be booking again.”
20. Karrie S.
“Karrie is a totally delightful person. You can tell by her enthusiasm that she just loves animals of all kinds. Our rather grumpy cat walked right up to her and started purring - he NEVER does that for an "outsider". We found Karrie to be very timely in her responses to questions and schedule changes. We'll certainly use her again in the future and would recommend her to everyone in need of a pet sitter. You will love her!”
