“Allegra was amazing!! Probably the best dog sitter we've ever had. Very communicative, flexible, and on top of things (plus my dogs loved her). If you want to have a stress-free time, you should totally hire Allegra to watch your pets. I know that if I ever need a sitter in the future, she is going to be who I go to first.”
“Rosemary did a great job house sitting for us for 9 days and taking care of our 2 small dogs. She is very responsive with communication, regularly sent photos, and kept us informed. Upon our return, the dogs were healthy & happy, and the house was neat and clean (with one exception - which was remedied easily enough). We appreciate her help and will call upon her again! Thanks Rosemary!”
“Jennifer did a great job watching our puppy while we were out of town for the week! She sent updates and pictures and you could tell she was treating our puppy like her own. She was very quick to respond throughout the week and was quick to schedule our meet and greet. Would definitely recommend and will happily be using her in the future!”
“This was our first time using Rover and leaving our 2 yr old pup with a non-family member so we were predictably nervous. We were hoping to find someone reliable and trustworthy and we struck gold with Asal! She is very relaxed and accommodating and got along really well with our pup. She was very thorough with his routine and was the perfect house guest while we were away. She provided detailed daily updates with several pictures which also made us feel at ease. TL;DR she made our first experience with Rover an absolute breeze and even though her profile mentions cat-sitting, we would highly recommend her to look after your dog as well!!”
“McKenna is a wonderful dog sitter. She was attentive, caring, and communicative the whole time I was away from home. I received many pictures of my dog, and I could easily tell he was enjoying the time he spent with McKenna. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet or home sitter.”
“Kristen is the BEST!!! She genuinely loved and cared for my cat, and it gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. I was finally able to enjoy a peaceful trip without worrying about my cat for the first time in a while. Already made my next booking!”
“Vinnie was once again a great pet/house sitter while we were on a recent vacation. He provided daily updates and pictures and made sure our dogs were comfy and happy even though it was raining most of the week. Thanks, Vinnie!”
“Kendall was amazing! She gave very good daily updates with several photos. I could tell my babies were taken care of and loved on. She got them goodies (after asking my permission to do so) and when I got home from the trip there was a baggie with an overall report card for each dog, a printed collage of photos she had taken of them, and cookies for each dog. Overall the best pet sitting experience we have had from Rover to-date!”
“Rachael was amazing with my fur babies. It is so hard to find someone to trust but Rachael really made me feel at ease while on my trip, and my dogs made a new bff. We will definitely be booking with her again <3”
“Cooper, Emmy, & the house were well attended while we were gone. Jake was very communicative & checked in often. We really appreciated him taking care of our fur babies while we were gone.”
“It was great having Sierra stay in my home with my cat Olivia for a little over a week. I came home to a happy cat and a clean home. During her visit, I received updates and pictures which set my mind at ease. Sierra took good care of my girl and I look forward to her next visit. Thanks Sierra! 😀”
“Alan was great! This was our second time using Alan and we will definitely look to use him again in the future. Reliable, good communication, and our dog is happy when we return. He even stayed late on our day of return since we were returning late which was great especially since our flight was delayed. Thank you Alan!”
“I have been nervous for a while to use rover for my two kitties and Allison coming and staying at my house showed me why I did not need to be worried! Allison loved and cared for my cats so much! She gave them their daily medicines with food, worked with my automatic litter boxes, and most importantly played and loved on them so much! She was very very communicative and responsive and also sent me so many cute pictures! I always miss my cats so much when I’m gone so this helped me a lot! I also frequently asked how things were going and Allison was very responsive which helped reassure me! She also left my home neat and tidy how it was left for her which was nice to come home to! Allison rocks and I am so appreciative to have someone so kind and thoughtful taking care of my pets! It’s going to make leaving them to go out of town a little easier :) thank you so much Allison!!!!”
“Sarah was amazing with my two dogs, Tito and Maddie! I just adopted Maddie two weeks ago and was nervous how they would do in a new place together. Sarah took all of my worry away and they did so well with her. She sent wonderful updates about their day with adorable photos. I felt completely comfortable knowing they were with Sarah and I highly recommend her to take care of your fur babies. I will definitely be using Sarah again in the future:)”
“Joanne instantly bonded with my pets and it was obvious that they were very relaxed and happy in the photos she sent. She gave them little bandanas and treats. She is very conscientious and a good communicator. She left the house very clean. Would recommend!”
“This was my first time booking with Melinda and she exceeded all our needs, especially when my dog had a bad day health wise. I took the longest vacation in my adult life and overseas as well, she gave me peace of mind I needed to enjoy my trip. 1000% would rebook and recommend her wholeheartedly.”
“Amelia is the BEST dog sitter we have ever had. She truly goes above and beyond in caring for our pups and home. In fact, during a heat wave while she was watching our dogs, our HVAC went out and she let us know immediately. We were able to schedule the HVAC technician to come out when she was home with our girls to get it fixed. We feel the greatest sense of relief to have someone who cares so much, looking after our pups. We would give her over 5 stars if it were possible.”
“Our house sitting experience with Liyah was great! She was super communicative, and able to earn the trust of my timid rescue pup. She was more than able to care for my high energy 1yo dog, as well as the two cats. Our house was as clean as we’d left it. Will definitely be using Liyah again in the future ? thank you!”
“I’ve used Rover a total of 3 times and never had a poor experience. Kayleigh was nothing short than amazing. We received updates for every walk, feed and in between snuggles! Highly recommend if you’re going away for the weekend and want someone to hangout in your home for the comfort of your fur babies! We tend to go out of town at least once a month and look forward to using Kayleigh again.”

We are so lucky we found Maya to watch after our dog Lola while we were out of town. Maya was an excellent communicator, we received numerous updates including photos while she stayed with Lola in our apartment- taking care of her, playing, walking, and cuddling. Lola had several medications she needed administered each day and Maya did so without any issues. We had been nervous to leave Lola anywhere but the kennel where she was trained when we went out of town before, but Maya put us at ease the moment we met her and we knew that Lola would be well taken care of and safe. Before we left she asked questions, took good notes, and made sure she understood Lola’s routine so that she would be comfortable while we were gone. Maya also took good care of our home while we were out of town, and left it very tidy. We absolutely will be booking Maya again soon!
Antonia did a great job caring for our two mini schnauzers while we were away for 10 days. Although it rained most days while we were gone, she did a great job getting them out for walks and she reacted quickly in changing diets per our instructions when she noticed some digestive issues that our dogs have had occasionally. She was very attentive to them and shared pictures and updates while we were away.
This was my first time booking with Melinda and she exceeded all our needs, especially when my dog had a bad day health wise. I took the longest vacation in my adult life and overseas as well, she gave me peace of mind I needed to enjoy my trip. 1000% would rebook and recommend her wholeheartedly.
Had a great experience with Sierra for my very needy and loving dog: Maybelline. This was my first time using Rover as I needed a last minute, overnight dog sitter on a holiday weekend and Sierra pulled through. During the time I was gone, she took Maybelline on many walks, cuddled with her, sent lots of updates with photos, videos and information about how she was doing. Sierra put me as ease so that I could focus on my trip without having to worry about my fur baby. Very professional, trustworthy and personalable. Highly recommended and cant wait to have her back!

Finding a great dog sitter you trust and is reliable makes leaving your pup so much easier. We are so lucky to have that in Alan. We love getting to use Alan- this time we were gone for 9 days and he stays at our house. He communicates while we are gone and our house is the same as when we left it. Thank you Alan!
Rebecca is literally the best! She took care of my baby when she wasn’t feeling well even got her some rice and took her to a park. I don’t trust a lot of people but I trust Rebecca so much with my fur baby as I have to rely a lot of others helping me out, so again thank you so much! She my top sitter !

Sarah took all of my worry away and they did so well with her. She sent wonderful updates about their day with adorable photos. I felt completely comfortable knowing they were with Sarah and I highly recommend her to take care of your fur babies. I will definitely be using Sarah again in the future:)
Kimberly was incredible with our dogs! She went above and beyond, not just in caring for our babies, but also for helping with a surprise delivery while we were out of town! She kept us updated, and even had goodie bags for our pups at the end of her stay with them! I can’t recommend her enough!
