“It’s obvious that Erin LOVES animals. She took such great care of my two babies while I was out of town for work with regular updates to me so I didn’t miss them so much. She was also very respectful of my living space. Couldn’t recommend her more!”


“excellent gal and great pricing too! she really goes above and beyond her pay grade and puts in the extra mile to make my animals feel safe while i was away! will rebook when needed!!! Also the pictures she sent put me at ease 11/10”

“Biiftuu was an excellent dog sitter. She clearly took good care of my little Aussie poo. She sent good pictures and left the house in excellent shape. I would hire her again.”

“Kenna did an amazing job house sitting and caring for our senior beagle. She sent us nice photos throughout the trip and we knew he was comfortable and safe while we were away. She is very prompt in responding to messages and was always straightforward and clear with her communications. Our home was very well cared for, too, and it was a relief to come home to a clean and tidy house. We absolutely recommend her to others and will book with her again in the future!”

“Penny was very easy to work with and my dog was very relaxed around her. She had no problem doing anything I asked was very sensitive to my dog’s needs.”
“Lucy did an excellent job watching my little dog. She was very responsive when I needed. She left the house in very good shape. Both dog and house seemed well cared for.”


“Robert was super accommodating for a short-notice weekend with my pups & cat. He was super communicative and took great care of them all! Would highly recommend Robert!”

“Marykay was amazing! She dog sat at our house and the dogs clearly enjoyed spending time with her. So was so great with them and I’m pretty sure she left our house cleaner than when we left! Will definitely have her watch our boys again!”
“Mercy was an amazing dog sitter! She is very professional, a good communicator, and asked great questions during the meet and greet. My dog can be anxious and moody, but immediately took to Mercy. Mercy was very calm and gentle when she met Charlie and I immediately knew he'd be in good hands. Mercy consistently sent updates with pictures and videos. It was clear that Charlie loved his time with Mercy and I would absolutely recommend Mercy as a dog sitter!!!”

“Lilah was awesome with my dogs, and keeping me updated on them. My house was very clean when I returned. Everything was great and I would definitely recommend her, and will book her again in the future! Thanks Lilah!”

“Tracy came through clutch for us when plans with another sitter fell through. She made sure to spend some quality time with all of our kitties - a challenge in its own right with these three lunatics! She sent us regular picture updates, some of which made clear that our more affectionate kitties warmed right up to her. I would gladly hire Tracy again to watch my little tyrants on my next weekend vacation. You probably should, too.”

“Iya was wonderful! This was our first time using Rover and we are so happy to have worked with Iya. She did great with our dog, and it was such a relief knowing she was able to be at our house with him!”

“Amelia is a very caring and thoughtful sitter. She provided excellent care for our puppy and I would highly recommend her to anyone needing a dog sitter. Excellent communication, and my puppy immediately took to her and was happy to spend a day with her.”

“Taj was able to step in last minute and stay with my cat! She went above and beyond and was able to help monitor him on some new medicine. I felt so safe leaving my pets with Taj and loved recieving daily updates and pictures! I will definitely reach out to her next time I head out of town.”

“This was our first time leaving Enzo since adopting him. Enzo can be tricky at times and Alex listened carefully to our asks, his diet, and handled his behavior well. She communicated well and sent lots of fun pictures ☺️”

“Anna was a great sitter. She arrived on time and kept us informed of their behavior while she was sitting. She stayed until we got home and summarized her visit and our dog's behaviors. Our pets seemed to like her. We would definitely rebook with Anna.”


“Data helped me out in a pinch! Beau reacted badly to another dog staying with another sitter and left me worried i was going to have to cancel my four day camping trip with my kids. Dana was willing to take us on at the last moment and did a wonderful job keeping my pup happy (along with keeping an eye on my two cats and feeding my fish)!! She had the touch for getting Beau to let down his guard and allow himself to be pet and even cuddle with her on the couch!”

Hiawatha pet parents share their Rover experiences
Lillian was a great sitter for my senior dog and I would happily book her again! She was proactive, communicative, and professional. I appreciated her thorough updates on my dog and all the cute photos she sent. I could tell when I got home from my trip that my dog was well cared for and relaxed and that Lillian was attentive to him and respectful of my home. Highly recommend!

Savannah housesat for our senior kitty recently and was a real gem to work with! She was patient and kind and asked specific questions about care beforehand. When we had an unexpected house issue just before her stay, Savannah was understanding and flexible as we sorted it out. We received plenty of updates and photos while we were away, and felt assured that our kitty was in good hands. We would absolutely rebook with Savannah in the future!

Launa is an incredible pet sitter. She was very communicative and noticed that one of our cats was not feeling well and acted quickly to make sure that he was alright, and filled us in on any important details. It was a stressful situation, but knowing that our pets were in good hands made a huge difference.

Alex recently stayed at our house with our two dogs and one cat and we highly recommend her! All three were immediately comfortable with her and it was so nice knowing we were leaving them in such caring and competent hands. She provided us with updates while we were away and it was clear that our pets were loved and well taken care of when we were gone. We came home to three very happy pets and are confident that was a result of Alex’s time with them. Would definitely book again!
