“Justelle takes such good care of our pets! She gives me updates every day with photos. Justelle goes the extra mile even with some icky pet stuff.”
2. Madisyn M.
“Madisyn was great--she took good care of our skittish cat and rolled with his shy ways throughout our time away. We really appreciated how well she communicated and kept us updated on him. She was very detail oriented and positive, and we were grateful for how well she cared for everything in our absence.”
3. Alex W.
“Alex was amazing! I got daily photos or videos which was so nice while I was away. Alex was eager to hear how they can make my kitty feel loved and comfortable and was even willing to watch him eat when he wanted 😂 my home was immaculate when I got back and my kitty didn’t seem excited to see me when I got home cause he was so well taken care of. Will def book Alex again.”
4. Katherine C.
“Katie was an amazing pet sitter. She made me feel so comfortable leaving my animals with her. She sent me pics and videos that was so cool. She kept my house very clean. She even crochet us a taco. Love that. The best thing she texted us to make sure we came home safe. Would definitely recommend her to everyone.”
5. Sage S.
“Sage took great care of my cat while I was away. They're excellent with animals and super responsible. Just an all-around good human being. I highly recommend them!”
6. Stephanie B.
“We’ve never left our dogs (a basset hound and a pit bull) before so we were nervous, but Stephanie was incredible!! She made us feel very comfortable during the meet and greet like she would treat our dogs like family. During our trip she took amazing care of them, sent us lots of updates, and they look like they had the best time. Highly recommend her !!”
7. Tricia W.
“Tricia did a wonderful job while we were out of the country for 4 weeks. Took great care of both cat and dog and the house. Had a couple of emergencies come up that she handled like a rock star! So very grateful we found her listing. It can be hard to get sitters for long stays at reasonable rates and have them be so honest, caring and communicative. Though we may not need a long stay sitter for a while again, I will definitely call on Tricia when we do.”
8. Rachel C.
“Murphy absolutely loves Rachel!! She stayed with him over the weekend and it was amazing. She sent updates and pictures of Murphy everyday. I highly recommend Rachel to care for your furbabies!!”
9. Yulia S.
“Yulia was such a good puppy sitter, and made me feel so comfortable leaving my dog with someone outside my family for the first time. She sent tons of pics of him looking like a happy camper and I could tell Dennis loved her because he was snuggling up and sleeping on his back right away. Will definitely be booking with her again. Thanks so much Yulia!”
10. Shana M.
“Shana is extraordinarily wonderful. She took such great care of our almost 14 year old Maltipoo. She was extremely kind and gentle from the very beginning of my contact with her. She always responded to questions and messages, and sent a daily report of how Kelli was doing, which I LOVED!! She also looked after every detail of our house from taking out the trash, to bringing in packages. I absolutely loved her and will use her again without a moment’s hesitation! A real rock star Rover superstar!!!”
11. Wilma S.
“Working with Wilma has been an absolute pleasure. She kept the fur babies entertained and worked on manners with the puppy. We came home to happy dogs. Wilma rocks!”
12. Kira W.
“Kira is awesome. She took great care of our dog, kept the house in order, and provided timely updates (with plenty of photos 🙂). Would hire her again in a heartbeat!”
13. Ben M.
“Ben really connects with dogs!!!! He is so sweet with mine and takes her for very long walks! He is so responsible- I would love to have him house and pet sit for me every time!”
14. Camille W.
“Camille was great. She stepped in last minute when a boarding facility cancelled the day the booking started. She sent me photos, asked questions when needed, and took great care of my little guy and the house was clean and tidy when I returned. I will definitely use her again.”
15. Yu M.
“Thank you for taking such good care of our babies - our two labradors.”
16. Patricia C.
“My dog, Willow, can sometimes have a tough time warming up to people. Willow did great with Patty! Patty kept me up to date with messages and pictures. She stayed in my house with Willow and left the house in tip top shape. I would definitely recommend her for your furry loved ones and will be using her in the future!”
17. Nikai M.
“My cat was very happy with her care and so was I! Followed all instructions, left my apartment clean and tidy, communicated effectively. Will use her services again.”
18. Lindsay L.
“Lindsay was a great sitter! We had a memorial service to attend, and she was able to fit us in last minute. She found time for a meet and greet. My dog Gypsy was stressed and not very friendly for that first meeting, and Lindsay was patient. She came right on time, sent tons of cute pictures, and was very cuddly. Communication was prompt and clear. The house looked great after, and she left a really nice "Thank you" note for us. Even the dishwasher was emptied! We have found some wonderful sitters on Rover, and Lindsay is one of them. We would gladly invite her back to our house. Thanks, Lindsay!!”
19. Patricia A.
“Okay. I don’t even know where to start. First off, THANK YOU for watching our babies, for taking such great care of the house, and for even stepping in for all the pipe issues we were facing while on vacation. Patty was absolutely a life saver and such a great sitter. I am honestly so happy I found her, and so lucky to have her be our sitter. Honestly, the best and wouldn’t want anyone else to watch our precious dogs. The report, video and photos sent were so great. She went above and beyond and the house was also cleaned when we got back. The best Rover ever had.”
20. Rebecca H.
“Rebecca was wonderful to my 2 senior Shiba Inus. She came to the house and pet-sit for 2 nights. Followed all the instructions and was able to give medication as instructed. Was responsive, friendly, professional, and clean. Pearl who tagged along was super sweet with calm energy. Would book with Rebecca again to help me watch my dogs.”
