“Monday took great care of our beagle, Luka! Sent updates and pics. Luka has separation anxiety so it’s important we find a Dogsitter who is patient and understanding. We highly recommend Monday!”
“So happy to say I came home to a happy dog and a beautifully clean home. Lucinda sent pictures of Sam and kept me informed all the way along. I certainly will use Lucinda again. I highly recommend her if you’re looking for someone to take care of your animals.”
“I booked Helen to stay at my place and cat sit for 4 days. She communicated well, provided consistent updates, and took great care of my cats and my place. I had peace of mind for my trip. Definitely recommend!”
“Scott was wonderful! He did a great job taking care of our pets and home while we were away. He tried multiple methods to give our cat her medicine and was patient and caring throughout. He also made sure our dog got regular walks and plenty of attention. He was respectful, tidy, and left the house very clean. Communication was great and we really appreciated how reliable he was. Highly recommend!”
“Ann is amazing!! We had to leave for a last minute trip and she was so helpful and accommodating, even offering to come by the day before to meet our dogs and get the run down. She was a great communicator and our dogs were very well cared for. Would recommend her to anybody looking for a pet sitter.”
“Sparkle is amazing in every way! I could fully relax while I was away because I knew my bunny would be so very loved!!! If I could leave more than five stars I would!!! 😊”
“On time, met Moon is advance, and was super respectful of the care document I left. I would have liked a few more pics, but I won't doc a star since I hadn't specifically said that before hand. The pictures I did get were lovely and Moon was well taken care of.”
“Tyler is one of the best Rovers I have ever booked! He followed all of my care instructions and kept me updated on how the dog was doing. The photos he sent me made me feel at ease. I will definitely book him again!”
“Debbie was great. She handled everything professionally, asked great questions, and even had some suggestions. Good communication leading up to and during our trip. We would use her again.”
“Erika was an excellent house sitter... I can’t thank her enough!! She communicated clearly and consistently, followed all instructions carefully, and always made caring for my cat Mitten her top priority. She genuinely loves my cat, which made it very reassuring to know everything was in such attentive and caring hands. I would highly recommend Erika to anyone looking for a reliable and thoughtful house sitter.”
“Elizabeth was attentive and caring, but more importantly very flexible. Our plans were very dynamic and she adjusted without difficulty. Whiskey enjoyed his time with her”
“Jason was a wonderful dog and house sitter! We received pictures and videos regularly, which were very appreciated while we were traveling. We trusted Hazel was in good hands and the house was, too! We’d definitely have Jason watch Hazel again.”
“Emma did a great job watching my pup! I’m always a little nervous leaving him with someone new and trusting someone in my home, but she made the whole experience feel easy and comfortable. She kept me updated, took great care of him, and left the place spotless. I’ll definitely be using her again for future sits!”
“Millie was wonderful! Extremely communicative, punctual, and took care of Georgia so well. She was very respectful of our space. I would be more than happy to work with her again and to be a positive reference to anyone looking for someone to help care for their pets!”
“Our picky dog loved Susan from the start. She has separation anxiety and still went willingly for a walk with her. We felt very comfortable with her care of our older dog.”
“Shannon was great with our 5-month-old Border Collie puppies for a 3-day house/dog sit. They are a handful, and both dogs and house were in great shape, upon our return. Shannon is punctual and a solid communicator. Highly recommended.”
Homestead pet parents share their Rover experiences
Ashlyn was great! She was super communicative and punctual. I had a VERY last min overnight sitting request and she was as on it no problem. She left my home clean and tidy and took excellent care of my old giant breed pup. I would totally recommend her. Thanks Ashlyn!
12/10 – Sparkle is the house sitter everyone wishes they could find. ✨ From the moment we met Sparkle, we knew our home and pets were in exceptional hands. She went far above and beyond anything we expected from a house sitter. Not only did she take impeccable care of everything, but she also gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. Sparkle is reliable, communicative, thoughtful, and incredibly attentive to detail. We received regular updates, photos, and check-ins, which made it easy to relax knowing everything was being handled so well. Our home was spotless when we returned—honestly, it may have looked better than when we left. What truly sets Sparkle apart is the genuine care she brings to the job. She treats your home, pets, and routines with the same respect and attention she would give her own. It’s rare to find someone so trustworthy, professional, and kind all in one package. If you’re considering hiring Sparkle, stop looking and book her now. She’s the kind of sitter who becomes your first choice for every future trip. We would recommend her without hesitation to anyone looking for outstanding care and complete confidence while they’re away.
TL;DR: Capable, punctual, reliable, communicative. Noah made me feel very at ease leaving my babies. My previous sitter retired and I had to do the challenging task of finding someone new. I have a small terrier who is easy. But, I have a 92lb mastiff puppy who’s afraid of everything and very strong. He made great efforts to get in her good graces. I was initially concerned how she’d react to a male but he was by far the quickest to earn her trust of all the interviewees. He stayed at my place for 4 days and 3 nights and when I returned, my babies seemed healthy and happy and no worse for the wear. Aside from taking great care of the pups, Noah was communicative, flexible, and pleasant to work with. He left our house it perfect condition. I highly recommend him with the exception that I don’t want to have to compete for his time!
We had several schedule changes leading up to our dates, and she was incredibly accommodating and flexible throughout. Communication was prompt, clear, and professional every step of the way. We really appreciated how easy she made everything and would happily book again! Pretzel will be thrilled to go for a run with Catherine.
Madeline could not have been more excellent! I felt so comfortable leaving my cat Sunday and apartment in her hands while I was out of state for a week. She made sure to send me pictures and updates daily and left the apartment clean upon my return. She was professional, kind, and loving to my cat! I will definitely book her again in the future!
This was the fourth or fifth time Sadie took care of my pets and my home. My pets absolutely love spending time with Sadie, and I can sense their disappointment when I arrive instead - I suspect that only pet owners understand the joy of being a disappointment when they return. Sadie is also an excellent communicator, and I trust her completely.
Madison stayed at my home with my cat for a couple of days and was a wonderful sitter; she asks all the right questions and really goes the extra mile to understand your pet’s unique needs and preferences. I came back from my trip to a happy and relaxed kitty and a clean house, and am looking forward to booking her again!
