“Karilou stayed in our home with our senior dog and puppy while we were out of town and she was fabulous! She sent lots of pictures, reached out if she had questions, and even rescued a little creature in our backyard! Our senior dog needs quite a few pills—and Karilou was sure she give her all her meds. We felt confident and comfortable with Karilou in our home and will 100% book her again!”
“Alyssa was the best!! She was so great at communicating and being flexible with our pup. She sent great photos and kept us updated throughout the stay. We would definitely book with her again and can’t recommend her enough!”
“Emily did a great job with our dogs for a week over the Christmas holiday. She provided daily photo updates and cleaner the room and bathroom she stayed in before we returned. We are appreciative of her care and attention to Rosie and Wesley!”
“Lisa stayed throughout the day to look after my husky. She was great with him and kept to his routine. Trusted her in my home to keep my place secure & husky in good care. She periodically checked in & sent pictures. She had no problem with doing a few extra requests, like turning lights on and off when completing her sitting. Happy with her services!”
“Vanessa did a fantastic job taking care of my cat and dog! She was very communicative each day, sending pictures, answering questions, and providing updates. She is a great option for your pet care needs and will be my go to rover going forward! Thanks Vanessa!”
“I am SO happy I found Jennifer! She took such great care of my two pups. She sent constant updates and photos which I thoroughly appreciated. My house was also left in very clean condition. Thank you Rover & thank you Jennifer. We have found our new pet sitter!:)”
“Meagan was a fantastic sitter for my dog! She was wonderful and sent me lots of great updates while I was away. My picky pup loved her, and she really knew how to handle him. Plus, she left my place spotless! I couldn’t be happier—highly recommend her!”
“I can’t say enough wonderful things about Donovan and Hollyanne who took care of my dog over Thanksgiving! From the moment they arrived to take care of him, it was clear he was in loving and capable hands. They showered him with attention, took him on countless adventures, and made sure he felt right at home. Being my first time leaving him with new people, they made sure to provide me with so many pictures and updates on the fun they were having together! It was so reassuring to know that he was not just being “watched,” but genuinely cared for. I came back to a very happy, healthy puppy full of stories and pictures about his new favorite people and his adventures. If you’re looking for someone to treat your dog like family, Donovan and Hollyanne are absolutely the best! I highly recommend them!”
“We had Grace watch our two anxious and energetic dogs while we went away for a long weekend and she was wonderful! Lots of pictures, quick responses, followed all the guidance we gave, and left the house clean as well! I would definitely recommend her to any of my friends looking for a sitter!”
“I am so sorry it took me so long to post a review! Rori was great with colbie and leo, when I got back it was like I never left. Usually when Colbie is stressed out with a new sitter she makes it known that’s she’s been longing for my return, but both my pets looked perfectly healthy. She even took the time to update me daily with pictures of both colbie and leo and what they were up to that day. they even cuddled up with her! I am definitely going to book Rori’s services because I know that my babies will be taken care of. thank you so much ?”
“Sabrina was absolutely amazing! She took great care of my sensitive boy while I was gone, sent many updates, and stayed on top of his medications. He was so happy when I got home. I highly recommend her!”
“Jim was fantastic. He took such good care of Nora while staying at our place. Lots of walks, love and pictures every morning and evening. Jim is the utmost professional, caring, kind, on-time and extremely trustworthy. Thanks, Jim!!”
“Very pleased to have Dwayne sit for our dogs. The initial meet and greet with our two dogs revealed that Dwayne had experience with fearful animals and how to manage them. His patience and knowledge are appreciated and we will definitely book him again.”
“Dominique took excellent care of my pups and my place. She followed the dog and house care instructions to the letter. They instantly took to her at the meet and greet. She sent tons of updates and pictures throughout the sitting. Will definitely always book her to care for my pups during any future getaways.”
“Twisha watched my two dogs for the first time and was fantastic! My dogs are usually a bit anxious when I leave, but they seemed at ease right away with Twisha, and were sleeping soundly when I got home. Was easy to book and coordinate with and will definitely be reaching out to again!”
“Vanessa was absolutely amazing and I can’t recommend her enough! 🐾❤️ She kept us updated with lots of pictures, videos, and messages, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. What really stood out was how much she genuinely cared for our pets. 🥹 It truly felt like she loved them just as much as we do. She has such a big heart, and knowing she also volunteers with the Humane Society says so much about the kind of person she is. 🐶🐱💕 Our pets were happy, well cared for, and so loved. You can’t go wrong booking Vanessa. She is truly fantastic! ⭐️”
“Ilana was amazing! Our boy loved her and seemed to have really enjoyed their time together. Ilana was very friendly, communicative and followed our usual routine. She sent daily updates with pictures and videos. She also cared for our apt as her own and left it spotless! Would trust her w our boy again, tysm!”

Jade was absolutely fantastic from start to finish! She was quick and easy to communicate with, always on-time, and followed all directions. My 4 pups loved her! She took excellent care of my babies and I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter. I will for sure be contacting her again in the future!
Meagan was such a wonderful sitter for our senior dog and our two kitties. Right from the start, we felt like they were in good hands. She followed all of our instructions and took great care of our home. She sent us lots of updates and asked questions up front. It was such a seamless experience and we will definitely book her again if we need another sitter!
Anna was great with our high energy dog and two cats! Our teenage dog can be a handful and she did great with her. There was even a house issue when we were gone and she handled it well and was a huge help. The house was left super clean as well. I would definitely recommend her and book with Anna again!
Brooke was wonderful! She gave us regular updates and photos throughout the stay, which gave us a lot of peace of mind. She was also incredibly respectful of our home—we came back to everything clean, organized, and very well cared for. Most importantly, our 13-week-old puppy, Marlowe, was clearly loved and well cared for. Brooke did a great job keeping her on her routine and making sure she was comfortable and happy while we were away. We had a great experience and would absolutely book Brooke again!
Brittany was simply awesome. She is very communicative and thoughtful, and really cares about making sure you have peace of mind that your dogs are in good hands while away. She goes above and beyond to make sure the pets are having fun, too! Cannot thank Brittany enough for her help.
This is the first time for Kaitlin to sit with our new tripawd rescue, Chilly. We haven't yet been able to leave Chilly for more than a couple hours. Working on that ..... Kaitlin was super responsive, understood our needs and Chilly's. She set up a meeting and greet and Chilly took to her. On the day, Chilly was comfortable with her and Kaitlin put my mind at ease to be out of the house for the first time in a couple months. I look forward to being able to have a sitter with experience with a quirky, special needs dog.
I met Audrey while she was walking my neighbor’s dog and instantly liked her. I booked her that day to stay with my pup and I’m so glad I did. Audrey is communicative, reliable and professional. She took wonderful photos of Kirby and sent updates so I felt completely at ease while I was gone. Thank you Audrey!
As novices on rover, we were quite nervous about trial-runs with new sitters. Our meet & greet with Brenda was very impressive with her extensive background in animal care, work with shelters and rescues; we quickly booked a trial-run with her for the following two days/nights. The trial-run went extremely well. Anytime we contacted her for anything, she course-corrected as requested. She was great with our fur babies, making sure they were safe, ate well and were medicated as instructed. Brenda is a great find! She is at the top of our contact list for pet care and house-sitting while we travel.
I’m so grateful to have found Evelyn! I tend not to go out of town because my three kitties usually get nervous about my absence (I wfh). I have always just had a neighbor pop by twice per day and call it good. Last time I was away for a few days, I came home and the cat dynamic in the house had changed for the worse. I feared I couldn’t ever go out of town or leave for longer than a few hours without causing them harm. I wanted to take my daughter on an end-of-summer adventure vacation, and set to find a solution that would be good for everyone. I knew it would be better for the fur babies to have someone just stay with them at the house to make sure they felt safe and cared for, but didn’t have anyone I could ask. I was cautious about inviting a stranger onto my home to stay while I was gone, but looked into Rover because I’ve only heard good things. I’m so glad I did, because I found an angel in Evelyn! Evelyn came over a few days before we left for our trip to meet the cats and find out about how we care for them so there is as little disruption as possible. Evelyn was so kind and professional and thorough! She asked a bunch of questions about our routine and house care (i.e., plant maintenance, etc) and wrote down all care instructions. I could tell she truly cared about animals and I found trust came very easily with her. While on our trip, I received pics and notes about what the kitties were up to and knew that they were being fed and played with and cared for. They looked like they were just going about their normal day and getting as much pets as they wanted! One of the babies looked to have taken very well to Evelyn. :) I felt so much better about being away from home, and enjoyed my vacation sooooo much more, knowing such a caring and thoughtful person was looking after them. I felt comfortable with her staying in my home and had a good feeling that she was respecting our home space. I came home to a tidy and easy-feeling vibe in the house. I hope she can come fill in for us for all of our trips out of town. Thank you so much, Evelyn!!
Having Jayna stay with our dog while we were out of town was a great experience! She was very communicative both before and during our trip, and was very nice about sending us regular updates and photos. She left our house perfectly clean after the weekend. We will happily have her back again!
Karen took such wonderful care of our pets and our home while we were away. We came home to happy pets and a tidy house, and she kept us updated throughout our trip, which gave us so much peace of mind. We really appreciated how reliable and attentive she was. We would 100% recommend Karen to anyone looking for a great sitter and would absolutely love to have her stay again!
