“Oli was great. She sent pics and updates daily, which we really appreciate. She stayed at our house the entire time we were gone. We have a very old dog and a neurotic dog and 4 cats. She provided love and care to our pets and home. I highly recommend.”
“We very much appreciated Emily! I was very nervous to leave our two dogs with a new person as we have one older dog who requires extra attention due to a medical condition. Emily met with us beforehand to go over our routine and then I sent her my "instructions" before we left. She followed their routine and kept us up to date on the dogs. It helped to know the dogs were well taken care of - glad to have found someone to watch our dogs when we have to be away!”
“Danielle was amazing. She sent a ton of photos and kept me updated throughout the stay. My dogs loved snuggling with her and were so happy and well cared for. Will definitely use her again!”
“Averi did great with Sandy. We were gone on an extended trip and Averi stayed with Sandy in our home for 16 days. She followed all instructions for Sandy and really carred for her. Sandy loved her time and we got a lot of pictures while we were gone. This helped keep us from worrying to much. She walked, played with, and gave Sandy her medicine. It was christmas and Sveri got Sandy a puppy stocking and photo with Santa. She went above everything we expected. I highly recommend her.”
“Meghan was such an amazing sitter for our pup! She was super responsive and communicative throughout her whole stay. I had no worries while we were out of town that our sweet boy was well cared for. She’s the best so if you can have her take care of your pet, do it!”
“Anna was wonderful! She has such a calm demeanor which helped our anxious pup. She adhered to our schedule and our home was in wonderful shape!”

“Brittany did a great job with our pets - she was punctual, professional, and gave us great updates about how everyone was doing while we were away. I'd definitely recommend her and I'm sure we'll book her again the next time we need a housesitter!”
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Kenza was absolutely amazing! From the very beginning, they were incredibly communicative and professional, making sure I felt at ease while I was away. What really stood out, though, was how loving and attentive they were to my girls—you can tell Kenza genuinely cares about the pets they look after. I came home to happy, relaxed pups and couldn’t be more grateful. Highly recommend and will definitely be booking again! 🐾💕”
“Monique was a fabulous sitter for our often anxious hound. She is an excellent communicator and may even have ESP. It seemed like everyone someone in the family mentioned our pup, ping, a message and photos of our girl came through. Monique was very accommodating to our quirks and last minute changes in plans. We will definitely rebook with Monique for our next trip.”

“Steven really stepped up for me and my cats as Rosie unexpectedly required medicine each day. He was sensitive to her stress (and mine!) and found a way to help her recovery. I will definitely ask for him to care for my cats again!”
“Excellent housesitter for our pets! She took good care of our 2 dogs and they were well fed and in a good mood when we got back!. We felt very comfortable with Emma sitting for our dogs overnight for 3 nights and would love to use her again for our next trip.”

John Marshall pet parents share their Rover experiences
Brianna was great! My dog loved her and and a good time. She was also really great with checking in with me.
Maria watched my dog for a weekend and she was wonderful! Took great care of my home and my sweet girl. Would totally recommend!
Lila was amazing! So communicative with me and very attentive with George! Would recommend 10/10, wish I needed a dogsitter more tbh
Vivian was great! This was my first time with a Rover sitter while out of the country and couldn't have asked for a better sitter. She even offered to check in on Mushu in case my flight got delayed. Vivian also has a cat with feline herpes so I felt at ease knowing she knew how to handle his needs and meds.
Steph was amazing with our pup Bella! She stepped in on very short notice and stayed with Bella all weekend, which we truly appreciated. Throughout her stay, Steph kept us updated with regular messages and adorable photos, which gave us so much peace of mind. We came home to a happy (and wonderfully tired!) puppy — no easy task with Bella’s energy! Thank you, Steph, for taking such great care of her. We’re looking forward to having you watch Bella again soon!
Madi watched my dachshund puppy while I was away and was great! She sent tons of picture updates during the week and kept me updated on how he was. Definitely will have her come hang with Theo again in in the future!
Clark took great care of our angsty hound (who was a big fan) and cat whole house sitting. She was communicative and very accommodating when our travel times changed. Would highly recommend!
Monique is great!! She house sat for my dog Zoe, whose other canine companion had died just a week prior. Zoe was grieving hard and not eating well, not taking her meds, and crying a lot. Monique was very patient and understanding and spent lots of time with Zoe. She was able to get her to take her medicine and helped keep her calm and feeling safe. Monique helped us all through a very difficult situation. I would highly recommend her and will be booking with her again next time we need care.
Robbi was an excellent and communicative sitter! She kept us in the loop of all our puppies happenings and took great care of everyone. She was fantastic with my older, mobility challenged pup!
Christopher paid good attention when we were going over their care and information. He took good care of our pets while we were gone and sent plenty of pictures!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Kenza was absolutely amazing! From the very beginning, they were incredibly communicative and professional, making sure I felt at ease while I was away. What really stood out, though, was how loving and attentive they were to my girls—you can tell Kenza genuinely cares about the pets they look after. I came home to happy, relaxed pups and couldn’t be more grateful. Highly recommend and will definitely be booking again! 🐾💕
Mariana did a fantastic job caring for our two pups, who require daily supplements and have a few special restrictions due to an injury. Marian was attentive to their needs and clearly took great care to follow our instructions. When we returned, the dogs were happy and excited to see us, but clearly comfortable and well cared for in our absence. She also kept the house tidy and even brought in the mail, which was much appreciated. Knowing everything at home was in great hands allowed us to truly relax and enjoy our vacation. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Mariana, and we’d love to have her sit for us again!!
Bekah was absolutely wonderful. In addition to providing outstanding care to my pup, she was very thoughtful in my home and left it in better shape than she found it. HIGHLY recommend!!
Sarah was amazing! So responsive and helpful being up to watch our little pup for a last minute trip we had coming up! She took great care of our guy and he was sooo excited to meet her. Thank you Sarah! Can’t wait to book her again :)
Our house and animals were cared for like they were our sitter’s own. Danielle sent us tons of pictures and made us feel great leaving our place in her care. Thank you!
Brittney was great!!! We had the best experience with her. She took care of Leo really well and kept us updated the entire time. She gave Leo his meds, took him on walks and sent us lots of pics. We're really happy and Leo seems really happy as well. We will definitely ask her to take care of Leo next time we're out of town.
This was the 2nd time Jordan stayed with our dog and two cats and we have been more than pleased both times! She is communicative sending pictures and updates daily, leaves the house straightened up and clean, and was even willing to water our garden and bring our trash cans out and back while we were gone. Millie, Milo, and Cali were VERY loved and cared for while we were gone. 5 stars!!!
Thane was great! Our pups and cat were well taken care of and our house was just as we left it! Communication was great and loved all of the pictures that were sent as well - would definitely book again!
