“🐾 Penny was a fantastic dog sitter for my two German Shepherds, Jango and Loki, while I was away. She was consistently punctual and incredibly communicative throughout, giving me peace of mind that my boys were in great hands. I really appreciated how attentive she was to their well-being—she kept a close eye on them and made sure they were happy and healthy. Couldn’t have asked for better care! 🐶✨”


“Ed was excellent in every way and put this first time Rover user at ease. He came by for a meet and greet a few days before. He was timely and sent detailed report cards of each visit along with some of the best photos I’ve ever seen of my pup. 100% will have him dog sit again.”


“I am so thankful for Rhiana! Updates and photos made me feel so much better about being away from Silva. He’s been meowing non-stop since I got home, telling me about his week with Rhiana. He clearly had a great time with his Rihana’s visits! Highly recommend Rhiana!”


“Danielle has been so awesome with our dog who is shy and takes a little time to warm up to new people! She is so responsive and has been great to work with! I feel very comforted knowing our dog is in her good hands while we’re away. Thank you, Danielle!!!!”


“Bailey did a great job with our boys! She arrived on time and spent time loving on our boys. We even added a last minute request to bring in some mail that needed to be refrigerated. Great experience. Will definitely recommend and have her come back anytime”


“Makenna was great! She was even able to go out of her way and meet with us on a very short notice ahead of time. All of our animals absolutely love her. Makenna is one of the best pet sitters we have had and we will definitely be asking her to help in the future!”


“Amy looked after our dog for the first time this weekend and she was absolutely wonderful. She asked great questions about meals, walks and our dog's routine and was very thorough in every detail. Amy kept us updated with photos and messages so we never wondered how things were going. Our usually shy dog warmed up to her immediately and I felt completely at ease being away knowing our dog was in such caring hands. We will absolutely work with her again!”


“Josephine is excellent, very reliable and caring. She sent me detailed reports and photos every day, so I could relax knowing my dog and cat were in good hands while I was away.”


“Sabal absolutely LOVES Maggie!! Maggie is always able to tire her out even though she is high energy, and is so caring and thoughtful. She is also a great communicator, and I always feel at ease when Sabal is in her care.”


“Kirtly was absolutely fabulous with letting our puppy ember out! Ember got all her energy out and was so happy when I got home every day. Will definitely use again!!”


“Claire was great with our cats! She was easy to communicate with, friendly, and responsible with our space. She even went above and beyond trying to find a missing cat cone. Definitely recommend!”


“Amanda did an amazing job with our pets! Her professionalism, responsiveness, and attention to detail was top notch. We knew our pets were in good hands while the wife and I went on a weekend vacation. Amanda was able to give one of our senior dogs his insulin shots with no problem. All of the animals (two dogs and two cats) really enjoyed her care and company. HIGHLY recommend and we will book her again.”

Kelly Town-Rugby Heights pet parents share their Rover experiences
Danielle was fantastic with my shy older kitty! This was the first time I'd left her at home for more than one night, and I was nervous about how she'd react. Even though she usually hides from strangers, my cat was coming out and greeting Danielle at every visit, and she was perfectly happy when I got home. I would absolutely book with Danielle again!

Samantha was great! She was very attentive to our three cats on her daily visit - even got to pet our severely shy one, Harriett. Her daily pictures and comments were a great comfort to us while we were away. I would definitely recommend her, and we will use her again for some of our upcoming trips!
