1. Kenna F.

“Kenna has been our sitter multiple times now, she always takes good care of our cats while we are away. We recently lost one of our cats, so this vacation was the first time our other cat was home alone, ever. We were comforted to know that Kenna would be with her for overnight stays. She sent extra photos and kindly replied to my more than usual check ins. We returned home to a happy kitty!”

6. Jennine M.

“This was the first time my husband and I used Rover for a dog sitter, so we were a little nervous about leaving our dogs, but Jennine was wonderful. She sent us updates throughout our weekend and was patient with our picky-eater senior dogs who tend to be quite shy. They seemed extremely comfortable and happy. Thank you, Jennine!”

8. Woody H.

“Woody was the best! First time leaving my dog who is like my child and love of my life with someone other than family. Woody made me feel so comfortable and she took amazing care of her while I was away for a trip! Even came home to swept floors, clean sheets and towels which was never ever expected. Thank you so much Woody for your kindness, care and communication!”


9. Andrew M.

“I am so grateful to have found Andrew to watch our pup. He was very flexible and accommodating with our last minute booking. He was very communicative and sent us updates on how she was doing through the stay. I can tell he cared about our dog and our space and would definitely recommend him to anyone.”


10. Elle T.

“Gabrielle did an overnight stay while I was away for the weekend with my 3 cats and was fabulous! She took great care of my cats and provided daily updates with photos. My cats are usually pretty shy but they took to having her around with no issues. She is very caring and respectable about the cats space and feelings! She has a great process down when initially booking with her with a phone call and also a meet and greet with the animals before booking which I really appreciated. She was also respectable of my home! I had an issue with my AC malfunctioning while I was out of town and Gabrielle stuck around during the day to meet with the AC repair team while I was away which I really appreciated. She is an amazing pet sitter and I highly recommend booking with her!”


11. Nataly M.

14. Karli A.

“Karli truly went above and beyond in her care of our dog, cat, and house. She was SO communicative and sweet. I have also never had a pet sitter who was so thoughtful about leaving the house in fantastic shape (stripping the bed, etc.). I was amazed and so grateful. Can’t recommend Karli highly enough!!”


15. Thomas M.
“Thomas was great with Ori. Ori is a Pitbull mix rescue, and when she was younger, she was definitely a handful. Thomas was kind, patient, trustworthy. Ori loved spending time with him and was always there when we needed a helping hand.”

“Gracie took such good care of our puppy while we were gone for a week and a half. She kept him well exercised and even worked on training (he was better at heel when we returned!). In addition, she was willing to go above and beyond when he had some health issues that required contemplating a vet visit. We are so grateful!”


20. Caroline Z.

“Caroline was great! We met beforehand to go over logistics and for her to meet my dog and she was communicative and sent photos & videos of my dog throughout the time she was dog sitting.
