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.

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!!

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.

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!

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!

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.

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!

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.

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!!

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!

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!
