1. Otis B.
“I highly recommend Otis as a Rover sitter! He was very punctual and professional during our meet and greet. During his stay in my home, he followed all instructions - including correctly using a type of leash that was new to him - and sent lots of updates and photos. I will definitely book Otis again in the future!”
2. Belicia K.
“My cat sitter cancelled on me at the last minute. But as it turns out I was meant to find Belicia. She took excellent care of my girl Zuri. Belicia was communicative, kind, and followed all instructions. She sent me messages and photos to absolve any worry and it didn't take long for my anti-social kitty to take to her. Having her care for Zuri was such a peace of mind. When I came back home, I realize that everything worked out as it should have. This is the beginning, as I will be scheduling with Belicia again.”
3. Deven S.
“Deven is great! He took care of Lilith for more than 3 weeks and kept us updated regularly. He sent photos and FaceTimed us, took her on walks and got her pup cups. Made our time away from our baby better and less worrisome. We definitely recommend Deven! He even stayed late on the last day cause my flight was delayed and I needed him to take care of Lilith a bit more.”
4. Emily N.
“Emily was, as usual, an AMAZING dog sitter for Finn for the week we were gone. She is kind, attentive, and professional. She plays with Finn and sends detailed updates. She was very flexible and updated us via WhatsApp because we were out of the country. We will always come to her first if we need a sitter for Finn!”
5. Elizabeth D.
“Elizabeth was so great! We were able to meet before the house sitting and went over the specifics of my dog. She gave me daily updates and let me know he was doing well which I really appreciated!! I would definitely book again ?”
6. Alexa B.
“Alexa did a wonderful job taking care of our dog in our home over a long holiday weekend. She was communicative, made sure Beau got his walks and play time, left our home clean and our dog happy. She followed our instructions on everything and asked questions when she wasn’t sure about something. We hope our dog wasn’t too crazy for her, but we would gladly welcome her back! So grateful we found Alexa.”
7. Margo K.
“Margo did a great job. She was flexible and responsive. She sent lots of pictures and updates of our cats. We returned home after a week-long vacation and the house was in excellent shape. I will definitely use her for house-sitting and drop-in services in the future.”
8. Nicole R.
“This our first time hiring someone to take care of our dogs, usually we leave them with family. This time the entire family was on a trip so we opted for Rover and feel very blessed to have found Nicole. Nicole is very detail-oriented, communicated perfectly and even sent videos twice a day. We decided to leave the dogs at home instead of sending them to an unknown environment. And she not only walked them. She sat with them and gave them attention. This all became very crucial because it was very hard for me to leave my dogs this time around. One of my dogs had a bit of an eye irritation and she did a great job keeping track of his progress and keeping me updated. We are very grateful for Nicole and will definitely ask for her services again in the future.”
9. Shakira C.
“Shakira is the absolute best and just a amazing lady! This was my first time hes I g him with a stranger. Both she and Benzo fell in love with each other and he was looking sad when she left. She took good care of my boy and kept me updated on his activities during the day. Couldn’t ask for a better experience or sitter for my puppy. Do not hesitate ti book her if she’s available; you won’t regret it I promise. She is a dog whisperer!!?”
10. Sarah S.
“Sarah took very good care of our 3 spoiled babies, and took care of our house. We recommend her and will definitely be using her again in the future!!”
11. Abi S.
“Abi was wonderful!! So respectful of our home and our dog was well loved while we were away!”
12. Daniel K.
“Daniel was great, he’s very reliable and was flexible when I had to make last minute changes. He also comes across as professional and level headed. My dog seemed to be in good spirits when we got back as well.”
13. Samantha E.
“Sam did an amazing job watching my dog Josie. Josie is blind and requires help getting around and she can be a little stubborn. Sam was very patient with her and made sure she was very well taken care of. I will definitely book Sam again in the future.”

16. Jasmine P.
“Jasmine took excellent care of Zoey while we were out of town for nearly a week. Despite Zoey's nervousness and the challenges it posed initially, Jasmine exercised a lot of patience and willingness to try different things to allow Zoey to feel more safe. And after the first night, Zoey warmed up significantly! Jasmine kept us updated throughout the trip, whether it was the challenges on the first day or the big successes in the days that followed! We really appreciated Jasmine's skills, knowledge, and commitment to taking care of Zoey.”
