“Trisha watched our two dogs for 10 days and things could not not have been smoother. She sent daily pics and videos, and the dogs were clearly having a ball with her.

“Grateful for connecting with Salma on Rover— she took incredible care of my cat while I was away for over a week and it brought so much peace of mind to know someone so kind and caring was looking out for her. This was my first time having someone house sit and I couldn’t have asked for a smoother experience. Salma sent daily updates and was quick to reply to any messages. My cat also loved her! Thanks again Salma from Melon and I 🍈💞”
“Wow! I have nothing but AMAZING things to say about Audrey-Anne! From communication to kindness, she made me feel as if my dogs were in the best hands while we were away from home.

About: I’m a genuine animal lover with years of pet care experience with dogs and cats alike. Growing up, I was always surrounded by animals and love their company more than anything. I have taken care of my own dogs and am acting stepmother to several cats. I am happy to board your animal and make them feel at home! I am a student home for the summer and am able to be with your pet at nearly all hours. This means lots of time for play! I live in a very green neighborhood with many parks for your pet to enjoy! If they are indoor, I have plenty of space for them to be comfortable.
“Mark always goes above and beyond, leaving your pup (and place) better than he found it. He’s a natural when it comes to dogs. Not only does he provide ample care for your pup, he encourages good behaviors and reinforces training. He will always be my go-to man for dog sitting, as both my dog and I adore him. Thanks for all you do Mark!”
“Corie did an amazing job dog and house sitting. She was great at communicating. My dog was very comfortable the whole time. I came home to happy healthy dog.”
Kalorama pet parents share their Rover experiences
Brenda stayed at our place and took great care of our cat while we were away. She communicated daily and provided updates and photos and I could tell she was sweet with him and he warmed up to her despite his shy nature. I could tell Brenda has a lot of experience with pets, and she was very diligent with our home and thoughtful in her communication.
We are so grateful Tim was able to housesit and take care of our dog. He was very friendly and kind with us and was attentive to our dog the whole time. Tim also communicated effectively with us while we were away. As a bonus, Tim takes really good dog photos! Highly recommend
Macky took wonderful care of our 12 year old dog and three cats while my husband and I were away for eight days. She sent us lots of updates and pictures, asked questions when she needed to, quickly responded to questions, and was right on time for our meet and greet and the day her stay started. We hope Macky will keep taking care of our babies when we need someone!
Once again, a complete and utter stressless vacation with Alex in charge of our senior dog and our place. So many great photos sent and updates given along the way. We couldn't ask for anyone better to trust with our special needs boy and our home! Alex is like family now- he even put up with our construction. 💙
Highly recommend Lily! She was very patient with my nervous dog, sent tons of updates, and was very communicative and conscientious. Finn had a great weekend with her, and I had absolutely no worries about him while we were gone because I knew he was in good hands. She also took exceptional care of our house and left it very clean and tidy.
