1. Jacqueline B.

“Jacqueline is great, as usual. She has stayed and taken care of my cat Olivia a few times now and Olivia has finally warmed up to her. It gives me such peace of mind to know I can count on Jacqueline when I need to.”


2. Vinnie N.

“Vinnie is a fantastic sitter! He stayed with our dog Andy while we were gone for nearly 3 weeks. He sent lots of photos, daily updates, and went above and beyond staying with Andy during Halloween and Diwali celebrations since Andy is afraid of fireworks. He took great care of our house as well. Knowing Andy was in good hands with Vinnie allowed us to fully relax on our trip. We recommend him 1000% and will definitely rebook in the future!”

10. Meng H.
“My family and I had asked Meng to care for our 3 year old Jack Russel Terrier, Annie, who, by far is the most energetic dog I’ve ever had and she has provided the best care for her. Meng can give the best care for any pet and genuinely loves dogs of all sizes. Having a background in caring for several different-sized dogs has given her the expertise needed to care for any pet! She also is excellent at meeting your needs for how you want your pet cared for. I am happy to be able to endorse Meng as a great pet caregiver.”

“This was the first time we have used rover for a a sitter to stay at our house while we were gone, and we are so glad Skylar was the one to do it!! Our dogs are definitely not the easiest to take care of and he did amazing! We are so thankful and he is our #1 go-to!”

15. Katelyn C.

“I am so happy and grateful I found Katelyn through Rover! She made a meet and greet and booking happen last minute to take care of Poppy while I was out of town and made me so comfortable leaving Poppy and my home in her care, particularly for my first time having a dog sitter for Poppy! Katelyn is wonderfully communicative and responsible, very quick to respond, sent me the most adorable updates and photo dumps, and even helped me with a few things around the house while she was there! She’s also a lovely and patient person and Poppy took to her right away! We loved Katelyn and will absolutely use her for dog sitting again!”


16. Carmen W.

“Carmen was a great sitter for my dog Watt. She didn’t hesitate to reach out if she had any questions. My house was just as I had left it when I came home.”


17. Kelly M.

“Kelly provided amazing care for our junior kitten Pablo while we were out of town for two weeks. She communicated after each visit and sent the most adorable photos and videos of Pablo, putting us at ease that he was doing ok. Pablo was in good spirits and our home was neat and tidy when we got home - which is a feat since Pablo has stomach issues and we frequently have to clean up after him when he uses his litter box. Thank you, Kelly!”


18. Sophie J.


“Sophie was so professional and super attentive to our Chloe! We didn’t have to worry at all when we were out. We had total peace of mind! I 100% recommend her to take care of your pet.”

“Elisa was very attentive and spent a lot of time with Ripley. Communication was ongoing and detailed. Highly recommended.”


20. Sylvie
“Sylvie watched my 2 Cats, Nini and Bean, when I was in a vacation with my family. I gave her very few instructions but she went above and beyond in taking care of them. I told her she could Just feed them then leave, but she went the extra mile and stayed with them, played with them, and even tried teaching them some tricks with toys and treats that she brought herself. I would 100% recommend her over anyone else.”
