1. Mackenzie W.
“Great communication and daily photos/videos. This was our first time leaving our dog, so she didn't eat for the first day we were gone. We collaborated on some problem solving, and she decided she could eat again with the help of some peanut butter. House was well cared for, as well.”
2. Brenda E.
“Brenda was amazing with our boys! She also sent pictures so we could see them daily. She also took care of our fish and our house. Even changed the sheets! Definitely would book again. Thanks again Brenda!”
3. Jessica D.
“Jessica was an amazing house sitter. The boys got spoiled with her and she was so loving to them. Hey miss her already. She was very prompt with communication. We plan on using her again in the future. Thank you Jessica!!”
4. Yasmin M.
“Yasmin was amazing with my dog Susie! I had total peace of mind knowing she was being taken care of. Great communication and so kind! I’ll definitely use her again 😊”
5. Grace P.
“Grace is a blessing. She took great care of our 2 dogs and home. On time. Professional, clean and caring. The dogs loved their time with Grace.”
6. Victoria B.
“Excellent job. On schedule and flexible when we made a small change on hours. And our dogs loved her!”
7. Allison G.
“Allison did a great job house sitting and taking care of Dax at the last minute! She sent lots of updates and photos. The house was very clean too! My only issue was the $20 meet n greet fee which I thought would be deducted from the booking once confirmed. Even though her bio says, “to be modified in the final price once a booking is confirmed” I still thought it meant she would take it off the price upon booking, but she adds it no matter whether you book or not. I’ve used Rover for almost 2 years and never had to pay someone to meet. I also pay fees when booking Rover too…. So it’s part of the program. I, too, lose out on my time if someone meets Dax and decides he’s too big or not a good fit for them. I don’t get paid for my time going to job interviews or when I’ve interviewed babysitters…. So just something to consider.”
8. Emily P.
“Emily did such a great job watching my special needs dog! She was attentive, caring, and dedicated to making sure he was safe and cared for properly. She sent photos and videos everyday! She kept my place clean and made the bed. Highly recommended!”
9. Madi B.
“Madi was fantastic! Wrigley is a high energy dog and he got daily trips to the dog park and even a trip to the pet store. We really appreciated the daily updates and photos. The house was spotless when we got home and Wrigley seemed very happy! This was our first time with a sitter and we were pretty nervous since our dog has separation anxiety, however with Madi here I don’t think he even realized we were gone. We’re already adding Madi to the calendar for next time, and would recommend them again and again!!!”
10. Cory W.
“Cory was awesome. I will definitely book with him again. He was on time and kept in contact with me throughout the house sitting process. I had a bad experience with Rover before and he has certainly renewed my faith about the program. Thanks again Cory!!”
11. Molly B.
“Our dog is a little nervous and he seemed to do great with Molly staying with him for the weekend! We got periodic photo updates so we could see how he was doing. We’d definitely have Molly stay with him again!”
12. Andrea M.
“Andrea is fantastic! She left our house extremely clean, sent lots of updates, & overall we felt so secure in leaving our dog with her for a long weekend :)”
13. Jenna R.
“This is the second time we have used Jenna and she did another fabulous job! Our dogs are always happy when we come home. She treats them as if they were her own! Will continue to book in the future!”
14. Sandra D.
“Sandy was amazing! She was on time, was a great communicator sending updates and photos and took great care of our two small dogs. The dogs and house were well cared for.”
15. Summer M.
“Summer did an amazing job. This was our first experience with in-home care and it was really reassuring to know that Bama was getting good care. She noticed if there were any issues, worked with me when things came up, and, most importantly gave her love and attention when we weren't there. Her vet tech training gave me peace of mind since Bama is an older dog. She sent pics and videos, which I really appreciated. I would definitely use Summer again if the need arose. Thanks, Summer!”
16. Adriana M.
“Adriana was amazing; not only with the animals but with our home as well. She was incredibly respectful when it came to the type of care I wanted and went above and beyond with communicating everything with me. She will definitely be our number 1 Rover gal now!:)”
17. Nathan P.
“Nathan did a great job with our two cats over the long weekend despite it being pretty last minute from us! Tried his best to win them over but they're a fickle crew. Would happily ask him again for future cat visits.”
18. Jessica S.
“Jessica was extremely punctual and did a fantastic job house-sitting and watching the dogs while I was out of the country. Highly recommend!”
19. Javon L.
“I am definitely a helicopter parent when it comes to Pickles, but Javon was the best sitter ever. Can’t wait to have them back to hang out with our little cream puff.”
20. Jessi S.
About: Hello, my name is Jess and I'd love to meet your fuzzy friend! I have two cats and I take care of my mom's doggo three times a week . I enjoy taking him on walks and playing fetch. I have a part time at home job so I have a pretty flexible schedule. Just inform me a week ahead of time to work it out. I will make sure to follow all procedures that are given .
