“Samantha was wonderful! Very communicative and took notes when first meeting our animals. Left our house in lovely condition and was very respectful! Our animals were well cared for when we got back. Even our shy cat came out to say hello and get pets!”
“Iris was incredible with my dog, Blue! He’s a love but also a handful and she loved up on him and did some training and lots of walks while I was away for a week. Iris was super communicative - sending notes and pics and videos daily, I felt very confident about his care while I was gone. She was conscientious about keeping me updated about the house and deliveries, etc. Absolutely recommend Iris and looking forward to having her stay with Blue again!”
“Aimee did a WONDERFUL job and Wilma was treated with such care! Can’t recommend her enough. Thank you Aimee! Wilma would love to have you back. Talk soon. Thank you!”
“Wow, we couldn’t have asked for a better Dogsitter for our older dog. Our dog was so content when we got back home, and everything was in perfect order. Nyree sent some cute photos and it was obvious that she loved our dog and took excellent care of her.”
“Laura did a great job with my two dogs! She was able to stay overnight with them for a week, and I really appreciated her help. She was able to accommodate their different personalities as well which required a little more work. I also loved the photos she’d send to let me know they were doing well!”
“Penny was absolutely wonderful with our Bailey boy. He absolutely adored her and has been looking for her since we got home! She was very communicative and cared for him as if he was one of her own. 100% recommend her for any of your needs. We are ready to plan our next vacation knowing we have Penny to care for him ❤️”
“Olivia is wonderful! She did a great job caring for the fur babes, and sent very cute pictures and updates! She was also flexible and very easy to work with! Would recommend to anyone looking for a reliable pet sitter!”
“Cristina was a lifesaver! We were down to the wire with a short weekend trip out of town after finding out our prior sitter was lo longer in the biz. She took the job short notice, and did great with our little pup. She was friendly, took note of everything we told her, and very clearly cares for the animals she watches. We had her house sit with our dog and came home to our home as tidy as we left it. Our dog was happy to see us come home, and leapt up to the window to watch Cristina leave, clearly, she approved of the arrangement. She made us feel at ease leaving our dog and home with her and we couldn’t be happier. 10/10 will reach out to her again next time we need to be out of town!”
“Iuliia did a fantastic job caring for remi and our home while we were away! we received updates and photos every day. i could tell each day remi had gotten very comfortable! we will definitely be using her again!”
“Nora was very conscientious to ask lots of questions and follow instructions. Took my dog on lots of walks and the house was in perfect shape when I returned. Will use her again and would recommend!”
“Our dogs were well cared for while we were away. Gabe followed all instructions, gave their medications without issue, and sent a few photo updates along the way. We appreciated knowing they were in good hands.”
“Brandon was amazing watching our 3 doggos for the weekend! He was communicative and sent photos each day. He even made sure our dudes had fun in the sun and got their pool out. Could not recommend enough!”
“Lilah recently house sat and took care of my dog Honey, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience! From the start, she was responsive, friendly and made sure to ask lots of questions to understand Honey’s needs and quirks. I received updates and photos while away, and Honey was happy and well cared for when I returned home. An all around great experience, and I hope Lilah is available to hang out with Honey during my next trip.”
“Dana was fantastic. She helped with our yard and send lots of pictures of our pooch. She helped out with little notice and we felt great having her watch our dog.”
“Natalie took terrific care of our kitties during vacation and we came back to a happy, healthy crew. She was very communicative and made sure to send updates daily and let us know how everyone was doing. Thank you so much, Natalie, and we look forward to having you back soon!”
“We had a fantastic experience with Marykay! She communicated with us consistently, kept us updated throughout the stay, and sent tons of adorable pictures. It was clear our pups were getting lots of love and snuggles while we were away. We felt completely at ease knowing they were in such good hands. Highly recommend and would definitely book again!”
“Courtney is fantastic and was able to help me out with an evening walk (last minute) as well as sitting for my Shiba during the week I was out of town. My place was exactly as I left it, and I came home to a happy Shibe. Courtney was great with communication and overall super easy to work with. Would absolutely recommend.”
“Sophia is amazing!! When Sophia watched our dog, Winnie, we got nightly updates with humor and multiple photos &/or videos. We looked forward to the updates each night. We could tell Winnie felt comfortable with Sophia, too. We'll definitely use Sophia in the future.”
“Mercy was amazing!! We feel like we found our new dog/ house sitter. She regularly gave us updates and sent photos. Our dog is a senior and Mercy didn’t mind giving Moxie her medicine and taking her for her short walks. We already thought she was great and then we got stranded in Detroit on our way home. We texted her last minute and asked if she could possibly stay an extra night and she saved the day and said yes. We highly recommend her and will use her services again.”
Hiawatha pet parents share their Rover experiences
When I say that Iuliia was heaven sent, I am not exaggerating! Our little cavapoo had never been away from us for more than an hour or two because she is separation anxious. Iuliia took the time to let Lucy get comfortable with her and earn her trust. She stuck to Lucy's routine which helped her feel secure. Iuliia is tuned into details and the individual needs of each dog she cares for. She helped Lucy get acquainted with her husband, Constantine, and therefore Lucy had two persons she went to for regular attention and affection. Iuliia walked Lucy 3x a day as requested no matter what the weather. She sent updated communication and pics frequently so we could relax and have no worries about our little one's care! I can never say enough good about our experience with Iuliia and have already rebooked her! She has a gift with both animals and people. Excellent communicator, adaptable, problem solver, detail oriented, devoted to her work.
Laura recently house sat for my sweet, anxious dog. She was incredible!! She provided daily updates and photos which were so appreciated. I was able to relax on vacation knowing that my dog was getting lots of love and attention! I would highly recommend her! We plan to use her for future vacations and for walks as well!
I can’t say enough good things about Erin. From the first meeting, it was clear she genuinely love animals. The dogs and cat got plenty of playtime and cuddles. I got photo updates every day that put my mind at ease. I came home to very happy dogs and a tidy house. I’ll definitely be booking with Erin again!
Sophia is amazing!! When Sophia watched our dog, Winnie, we got nightly updates with humor and multiple photos &/or videos. We looked forward to the updates each night. We could tell Winnie felt comfortable with Sophia, too. We'll definitely use Sophia in the future.
We left our three year-old doodle with Jessica and Grant while we went on vacation for five days. They were very responsive and accommodating from the very start. We brought our dog to their house to meet their dog to make sure they would get along. They woke up early for us to drop Mae off and sent lots of messages and photos. They went on lots of walks and the two dogs enjoyed playing together! They also dropped Mae off at our house a few hours before our flight returned. And checked our mail and left Mae some water. I am so glad we found Jessica and Grant, and I will definitely be reaching out to them first for our next trip! Hopefully they will be available. Otherwise I don’t know what I’ll do!
Sarah stayed overnight with our 2 dogs and did a great job. Both our dogs loved her right from the start, I could tell she was super comfortable with them and bought great energy. She texted with photo updates of the pups and a few questions that came up which I appreciated. When I returned my dogs were happy and well cared for. What a relief to find someone so responsible. I would definitely have Sarah take care of my dogs again!
Courtney is incredible. She took such good care of our dogs and home. She was even comfortable caring for our high-anxiety, reactive dog which was a huge relief. She provided updates throughout our trip which was very much appreciated. I can’t say enough good things about her and we will definitely be booking again!
Hailey did a wonderful job watching our anxious foster dog Alvin! She handled him with great patience and care, and it was comforting to know he was with someone so knowledgeable about dog behavior and would go the extra mile to ensure he was as comfortable as possible.
Landen is hands down one of the best dog sitters we’ve ever had. After a 4 day trip, we returned home to our two chihuahuas who were clearly loved for and pampered to capacity. He followed our care instructions and went above and beyond to make sure our pups were happy and healthy. He is a fantastic communicator and took care of our fur babies (and home!) as if they were his own. He’s one of a kind and we can’t recommend highly enough!
Tamarah goes the extra mile when caring for our furry family members! We received updates and photos of our little buddies at meal and walk times, as well as sweet personal touches when we returned to our well cared for home. We 100% will be booking with Tamarah in the future, and you should too!!
