“Our dog Harley is leash reactive, so we always think about that before getting a dog sitter for her. We’ve booked Chardonay multiple times, and we feel so comfortable leaving our dog Harley with her!”

“Shelly has been amazing with our reactive and anxious girl. She’s patient, attentive, and always makes sure our pup feels safe and comfortable. We can tell our dog truly enjoys her time with Shelly, which gives us total peace of mind while we’re away. She also treats our home with great care. Couldn’t ask for a better sitter!”

“Kayla is a gem! She took excellent care of our dog Joni, left the house in great shape, and was very communicative throughout. Her daily updates let us know we had left our pup in good hands - and she even helped water our garden beds while we were away. We are very grateful to have found her!”


“We highly recommend Sparkle! She thoughtfully communicated with us throughout our trip and sent us adorable photos of our cats daily. This made leaving them for the first time slightly less daunting. She took great care of our house and our two kitties. We came home to a clean house and two healthy, happy cats. We are so fortunate to have found her and will request on all of our future vacations.”

“Scott was wonderful! He did a great job taking care of our pets and home while we were away. He tried multiple methods to give our cat her medicine and was patient and caring throughout. He also made sure our dog got regular walks and plenty of attention. He was respectful, tidy, and left the house very clean. Communication was great and we really appreciated how reliable he was. Highly recommend!”

“Thank you so much, Shannon, for taking such great care of our pups! We didn’t worry while we were gone, and we know the dogs had a great time and were well cared for!”

“Kai is the best! Thank you for taking such good care of my girl, including giving her meds and keeping her well-fed. We’ll definitely book again, she adores you :)”

“Anna is exceptional. Extremely conscientious and an excellent communicator. She is doing what she loves. I will absolutely be using Anna more and can’t recommend her highly enough.”

“Once again Barbara was amazing! Super communicative, gave great updates and asked awesome questions. We feel so secure going on vacation (especially when we are off grid and without service for multiple days) when Barbara watches our cats! 10/10 will be booking with her again :)”

“Ursula was fantastic, kind, patient, and highly communicative with us while watching our dog and cat for the weekend. Our dog happened to be dealing with a bit of a hot spot issue and she managed him with such grace and care, I truly appreciate her. I would not hesitate to book her again or recommend her to others. Thank you, Ursula!”

“Celeste watched over my 3 cats and our home while I was away. She followed all of the care instructions and was very communicative. The updates were great and all of the cats were happy upon return. Thanks again!”

“Skyler was great! Did an amazing job taking care of our pups and keeping the house in one piece. Communication was on point, sending updates each day. Would definitely rebook in the future. Highly recommended!”

“Corvin was a perfect and responsible pet sitter for my anxious Bunny. He sent lots of pics and updates so I felt very confident that B was in good capable hands throughout my absence. He was very respectful of my home, too. I will be rebooking w Corvin very soon in the future. Thank you so much!”

“River was patient and kind with our two dogs. She followed all directions perfectly. Was a wonderful house guest and communicator. Our shy dog even warmed up to her by day two.”

“This is the second time Ethan has stayed with my 2 doggos for a close to a week. They both love Ethan, and were happy to have them stay (well, Percy is really only happy when I'm home, but he was as happy as he GETS when I'm not around). Ethan kept my garden alive for a week during August and the house looks as good or better than when I left it. We will happily have Ethan back again the next time I go out of town.”

“Dey was wonderful. Reliable and communicative and took great care of my senior cat. I appreciate their grounded presence and attention to detail. I'd definitely book with them again.”

“Michael is so awesome!!!! My fiance and I booked a trip for a concert, and didn't realize our hotel did not allow pets unattended and had decibel alarms. He seriously saved the day. I booked VERY last minute (8 hrs prior to sitting, and brand new to rover). Michael responded extremely quick with very clear communication. Brownie points for the bathory shirt for sure. My pup is anxious and hasn't had to stay with a stranger like this and he seemed to do great w Michael. We got plenty of updates, and again super clear communication about our pup! He really did so amazing and we could tell our lil guy was happy after being in his care :) THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!!!!!”

“Serena was incredible! I loved getting daily updates and photos of how my boy Chance was doing. I could tell how happy and relaxed he was with her which made traveling much less stressful. I will definitely be booking with her again and would recommend her to anyone looking for a dog sitter!”

“Tyler is one of the best Rovers I have ever booked! He followed all of my care instructions and kept me updated on how the dog was doing. The photos he sent me made me feel at ease. I will definitely book him again!”

Kerns pet parents share their Rover experiences
Emily looked after our one year-old puppy for a couple days while we had to go out of town at the last minute. Murphy seemed happy and content when we got home and the house was in great shape. Emily also looked out for packages that got delivered and helped bring those in. Thank you so much!

Anna was a good communicator, asked great questions, and took good care of both my pup and my home. My border collie, Alsea, is super high-energy and Anna seemed to handle it well. The house was clean and Alsea was tired (in a good way) and well-adjusted when I got home. I will definitely call Anna again for future pet sitting needs!

Madeline could not have been more excellent! I felt so comfortable leaving my cat Sunday and apartment in her hands while I was out of state for a week. She made sure to send me pictures and updates daily and left the apartment clean upon my return. She was professional, kind, and loving to my cat! I will definitely book her again in the future!

I highly recommend Emily! I have a nervous pup who had never done in-house sitting before and Emily helped her feel positive and comfortable about the experience. The house was in great shape and everyone was in good spirits upon my return. It was a comfort to know both my cat and dog were diligently cared for while I was away.

Barbara is the BEST! I am a repeat customer and will continue to be as long as I can grab her! She helped me out in a pinch when I accidentally scheduled for the wrong night and she is so bright and intuitive regarding my dog needs. She responds promptly to all messages and ask wonderful questions about anything and everything. I love this as I am a very needy and worried dog, Mom when I am away.. Go cannot go wrong with Barbara💕
