Matt was really great. We were really nervous to leave our pup with someone, especially since it was the first time since we adopted her, and she was in great hands with Matt. He was very sweet with her and took the time to understand her quirks as a dog with big feelings and reactivity. We will absolutely book him again!

Meagan is absolutely wonderful! I’ve known her for over 5 years and there is absolutely nobody better suited to caring for pets of all kind. She is kind, considerate, and loving toward animals of all kids. Just this last New Year Meagan watched our two dogs, while also house sitting for us, and everything went extremely smoothly. She sent timely updates with photos, took them on 2x daily walks, gave them lots of cuddle time, the whole 9 yards. I can’t recommend Meagan highly enough!

Charlii is an awesome pet sitter! She has taken care of my two pups and one kitty many times now, and I can leave with confidence that they will be cared for with lots of love. She takes the dogs on nice long walks, reliably gives medication to my aging kitty, and looks after my home with care and consideration. All of the pets and I just LOVE her!

Aman was great house sitting our dog. It was our first time using Rover and I created some confusion but he was very gracious and helpful. Sent plenty of photos and was very communicative as we had a few unexpected packages show up. Even offered to was some dishes we’d left behind! Oh and our dog loved him. Wouldn’t hesitate to use him again!

Elise came highly recommended by a trusted friend, and she did not disappoint! She was great with my two pit bull mixes, who warmed up to her immediately, and she dealt with their anxiety and other quirks like a true pro. I came home to happy pups and a clean house. Couldn’t ask for better. Would hire again and recommend 10/10.

I had Esteban house sit to look after my big, rambunctious dog Sable for 6 days. Not only did Esteban take amazing care of my dog, he left the house in incredible condition. All my dog’s needs were met, and he sent regular pupdates. I’m a very anxious person and it was my first time using Rover, but Esteban put me at ease and I am so glad I decided to go with him. I would 100% use Esteban again if I ever leave town. I believe it’s safer and easier on my dog than boarding her at a dog hotel. You da man, Esteban!

Carla stayed at our house and watched our dog Pemba while we were away for a week over the holidays. She took great care of Pemba, was communicative and proactive. She was very respectful of our house and followed all the instructions we left, and everything was kept super clean and tidy. We would welcome her back again!

Went above and beyond dog and house sitting for my 2 pups. Christine gave lots of updates, sent photos and videos, and spent tons of time with our dogs. She took special care of our shy dog and played ball with our energetic terrier. She also left our house neat and clean! Have already asked her to watch our pups again.
