1. Madeline B.
“This was my first time using Rover and I was a little nervous because I didn’t know what to expect, and Madeline was phenomenal. My dog, Swiffy, loved her immediately and she sent me thorough updates of their time together which really helped put me at ease and I was able to enjoy my event knowing my dog was being well taken care of. I would highly recommend her.”
2. Malia K.
“Malia was awesome!! She sent us lots of photos throughout the weekend and it was clear our cats were at ease. They seemed happy and energetic upon our arrival home. 10/10 would use Malia again!”
3. Charlii C.
“Charlii is such an attentive, communicative, and thoughtful sitter for my 2 dogs and 1 kitty. They get tons of love and care while I’m away. She leaves the house clean and tidy. My pets all adore her, and so do I!”
4. Ashleigh H.
“Ashleigh really is a loving, kind, caring dog sitter. She stayed with my 12 yo pit bull Luna and did everything to comfort and keep her happy and active while I was away. Plus it was a heat wave so she made sure fans were on Luna to keep her cool, it was such a sweet, attentive thing to do. :) She sent pics and updates often. I'm over the moon with her attentive adoration for my old lady. I cannot recommend her enough for caring for your doggos. Book her!!”
5. Andrea D.
“Andrea is a wonderful and knowledgeable animal carer. She has looked after my husky many times with care, diligence and professionalism. She knows her stuff and falls in love with every dog she meets. I can heartily recommend!”
6. Nikki N.
“Nikki was a terrific housesitter for our furry crew. She took the time to meet everyone in advance and asked detailed questions about all their routines and preferences. She was very responsive and also proactive with pictures and updates. Our two large dogs soaked up the attention, including snuggles and walks. Our house looked exactly the same as we left it.”
7. Sophie C.
“Sophie did a fantastic job sitting for our house, two dogs, 6 chickens and many plants! She's a great communicator and enthusiastic pet lover. She sent daily dog photos and kept the house so clean it was hard to tell anyone had been there. I will highly recommend her for house and pet sitting!”
8. Lena Camille O.
“Lena is without a doubt the best, simple as that! Very attentive and open communication; sent multiple updates, pictures, and videos daily. My wife and I weren’t worried for a second, and Marvin has never smiled that big with another human!”
9. Kristi P.
“Kristi did an amazing job watching our four dogs for us while we were out of the country. She communicated and followed instructions perfectly. We came home to a clean house and happy pups!”
10. Spirit B.
“Spirit was great and obviously loves animals. She stayed overnight with my cat Penny for two nights and was communicative and very tidy. I will be booking her again.”
11. Shelly M.
“I highly recommend Shelly. She's watched our dog twice now, and each time she left our place spotless, and we came home to a happy pup. She was flexible on departure time when my flight was delayed, and she even changed the clocks for us after Daylight Savings Time. Thanks!”
12. Noel W.
“Noel did a great job house sitting our one year old golden retriever! She was able to help us out in a pinch and Marty seemed to love her at first sight!”
13. Scott C.
“We could not be happier with our experience with Scott. This was the first time we left our furry crew for this long and Scott did an excellent job putting their mind and ours at ease. We got daily updates and pictures and he was extremely easy and prompt with communication. What really sealed the deal for me is when Scott came back to our house to exchange some items and our dog was so happy and excited to see him again. We will definitely be using Scott again if he’s available.”
14. Imani P.
“The perfect match for our active sweetheart. Imani did a great job caring for our pittie mix who loves life and people. She provided all necessary care for her and even went above and beyond with a couple of house hold chores that she proactively saw and did. Would definitely use her again - Ava loved her!”
15. Evangelina S.
“Evangelina is wonderful with our dog, Coach. She is attentive and responsive. We appreciate that she sends frequent updates and photos!”

“Samantha was fantastic! Provided lots of updates. Our dog was truly well cared for. 100% recommend”
17. Sebastian C.
“I recently used Rover to find a dog sitter for my Great Dane, Toby, and I couldn't be happier with the experience! Our sitter was professional, reliable, and truly cared for Toby as if he were his own. Sebastian provided regular updates, which put my mind at ease while I was away. Toby and our home well-cared for. I highly recommend Sebastian for anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter.”
18. Lauren H.
“This was our first time trying rover and we were blown away. Lauren was amazing. Even our skittish shy cat came down and made friends. We cannot leave enough praise and will absolutely be booking with Lauren again in the future. Thank you so much for taking care of our fur-babies!!”
19. Kaley M.
“Kaley took such good care of Moon while we were out of town. She shared regular updates and was so respectful of our space while we were away. We came back to a happy pup and were relaxed throughout the trip. She also paid attention to all specific instructions related to the places Moon isn't allowed in the house, which was such a relief and handled Moon's quirky behavior with wearing a leash like such a pro. We would highly recommend her!”
20. Cristina E.
“2nd time Cristina has watched our dogs and she was amazing once again! She sends lots of pictures and updates, and is so sweet and attentive with them. She was able to carry our old dog upstairs to hang out with the pack, and also administer their medications. I know they are always in good hands and getting lots of love. I’d recommend her to anyone!”
