“Matt was awesome and our dogs really seemed to take to him. We have a lot of little things we like to do for them and Matt too care of everything we needed + more! A great guest and someone we hope to work with again and again!”
“We recently had the pleasure of having Sam watch our two dogs for nearly an entire week, and we couldn’t be more grateful for the care and attention he provided. Sam went above and beyond, even rearranging his work schedule to make sure our dogs were well looked after. He maintained their regimented routine, preparing their unique meals twice a day and taking them out for potty breaks and exercise an additional 3-4 times per day. His conscientiousness really showed in everything he did. Sam stayed overnight in our home, ensuring our dogs felt safe, secure, and comfortable in our absence. His communication was excellent—he sent us multiple photo updates throughout each day, which gave us such peace of mind. It was clear from the photos (and when we returned!) that our dogs were happy, calm, and well cared for. Honestly, I don’t think they even realized we were gone! Sam is incredible with animals, and it’s obvious he has a natural connection with dogs. He’s also friendly, respectful, and trustworthy. Knowing he was there allowed us to enjoy a much-needed vacation without any worry. We’re already planning to book Sam again for our next trip! If you’re looking for someone dependable, kind, and dedicated to caring for your pets as if they were his own, we can’t recommend Sam highly enough. Thank you again, Sam!”
“Samantha is amazing! So much so that we schedule her before we schedule our trips. We have dogs, cats, foster dogs and ball pythons and she is experienced with them all! She has no hesitation to contact us with questions, follows instructions to a T, and alerts us if anything is off. She is also an amazing house sitter and makes sure things are clean, orderly and that the pets didn’t make too much of a mess. If she can’t watch my pets, we simply don’t go. I would pay an arm and a leg for Samantha’s services just to feel comfortable while I’m away. I’ve had sitters in the past that have neglected my animals and ghosted my animals for 24+ hours. Never again! Samantha is our one and only!”
“Stormy is a dog magnet! My dogs took to her like they'd known her all of their lives the first second they met her! Stormy is very professional and is so kind. I recommend her highly.”
“Roxanne was so great with my little pup. She sent me photos and gave me updates throughout my trip and it felt great to know Macchiato was in good hands. Roxanne dog sat at my place and left it immaculate when she left. I'd definitely have Roxanne back again.”
“Great experience with Maria watching after our babies. She was willing to meet with our dogs prior to the dates of the booking. She sent updates and pictures while we were away. She was willing to stay longer if needed to ensure the dogs were taken care of. Great communication and our dogs seemed happy. We didn’t require the dogs to be walked but she went above and beyond to make sure they still got some exercise and play time.”
“Bella was very friendly, provided great care for the critters (while they provided her entertainment lol), and kept the house just as we left it. Would definitely use her again!”
“Soleil was caring and compassionate with my pup. She sat with her and rubbed her tummy. She communicated with me many details about my pup which was reassuring while I was away. She kept my home in order and followed everything I asked.”
“This was my first time in about 3 years of having to leave Xena alone with a sitter, I'm not sure who was more anxious, me or the dog. After the meet and greet with Leah, I knew that her and Xena would be friends. Leah was great at keeping my nerves at bay by providing updates and sending pictures. Xena was genuinely excited to have Leah watch her and that makes me happy. I could not recommend Leah enough - she was fantastic.”
“Jessica was amazing! She took excellent care of my little girl. She was attentive, communicative, and responsible. She provided daily updates and made sure Juliet was always safe. Came home to a happy & healthy pup. Would definitely book again. Highly recommend! 😊”
“Braydon has been very diligent in all of his tasks, from the first meeting to the end of his engagement. He has taken very good care of my puppies, walking them daily, sharing pictures and regular updates everyday, making me smile and bringing me peace of mind. He was also very respectful and pleasant to deal with and kept my house in very good condition. I would definitely rehire him and would recommend Braydon to anyone needing peace of mind when away from your puppies!”
“Hannah was incredible from start to finish. Our girls felt completely at ease with her in our home, and her warm, attentive presence made a lasting impression. She kept us updated throughout, which gave us great peace of mind. Hannah was attentive to every need, ensured plenty of outdoor time, and genuinely cared for their well-being. We couldn’t have asked for better , 10/10 experience. Professional, thoughtful, and absolutely recommendable!”
“Sonia was so kind to take a last minute booking for a family emergency. She came for a meet and greet and asked great questions to make sure she was prepared. She was communicative and sent pictures throughout the stay, and followed through the schedule we had discussed. She definitely seems like a dog whisperer, when she came to bring the key back, my dog stood at the door watching her! I would absolutely welcome her back to house/dog sit.”
“Rebeccahlynn is seriously amazing!! We’ve used her a few times and we love her!! She sent pictures throughout the day, was very communicative, gave our dog her ear ointment she needed, took her on walks, cuddled with our puppers, I mean our dog was in dog heaven!! I 100% recommend using her any time you can!”
“She was an absolute gem. I had a last minute trip planned, and I had to make arrangements for my two high maintenance dogs. Erica house sat for me last minute and did amazing with my two huskies. When I got home, my huskies were tired (that’s an impressive feat on its own), and my house was clean of husky dust. She definitely didn’t have to sweep and whatnot but she did! I would book her again in a heartbeat.”
“Jose was beyond communicative, sent a ton of pictures to us and was so sweet with our baby girl! We came home to a clean home and a happy puppers! I highly recommend using him, he’s been amazing for us!!”

Kensington Row pet parents share their Rover experiences
Jeremiah was fantastic! We were so worried leaving our boy Gino to go in vacation. If you are familiar with cane corsos, they are known to be Velcro dogs. They tend to get depressed when their humans are not close to them. Jeremiah did an exceptional job in taking care of Gino and making him feel safe. Gino took very well to him. Our house was very well taken care of as well. We will definitely be using Jeremiah as our sitter for any future trips.
Christine responded quickly to my request, and met up with me and my dogs to better acquaint herself with them. Christine was caring and professional while caring for my dogs, and maintained communication with me. She has a sunny disposition, and my dogs felt comfortable and reassured by her presence. Christine is highly recommended!
Taewon was phenomenal with my two pups. Especially since my doodle ended up getting ill and required a very stringent medication plan. I was already a nervous wreck having to be gone for so long and he put my worries right at ease. He deserves pup taker of the year award!!! He communicated every day, asking if there were other things to try/consider, and genuinely treated my fur babies as though he was the their owner and they loved him as I could tell in their daily pictures. He was very respectful of my home and left everything immaculate! 10/10 recommend especially if your pets are seniors, require a little more care, or have medication needs.
Harley was fantastic! She took wonderful care of our boys, and it was clear they were completely comfortable with her. Knowing they were in such good hands while we were away gave us tremendous peace of mind. She kept us updated with messages and photos, and was always quick to respond whenever we reached out. I highly recommend Harley to anyone looking for a reliable, caring pet sitter—she treats your pets as if they were her own.
Maddie was an amazing dog sitter and I could not have asked for anything more! My dog has severe separation anxiety and I was very uneasy about leaving her for an extended period of time, but from the impression I got from the meet and greet before hand I felt a little more comfortable, and after the first picture they sent me I could tell from the look on her face that Shiek was doing great! This gave me the peace of mind to let me enjoy my trip, and the updates and pictures they sent me through out would make my day. I would highly recommend Maddie to anyone looking for somebody to take care of or spend some time with their pets and I will definitely be reaching out to her again for any future Rover needs!
