“Kirby took great care of our two large, sensitive dogs and our home during a week long trip! She’s been super easy to communicate with and our dogs seem to love her!”
“Barbara provided exceptional care for both our home and our cat during her one week stay as our house sitter. She communicated consistently by sending daily updates and photos, which helped ease our minds while we were away. When minor issues arose, such as an ant invasion and watering during a heat wave, she handled them proactively. Barbara was patient with our cat, even when he became extra rowdy and anxious in our absence. We returned to a spotless home, with fresh sheets and towels that she had cleaned and neatly replaced. Her attention to detail and professionalism are remarkable. I highly recommend Barbara for her trustworthiness, conscientiousness, and overall fantastic service as a house and pet sitter.”

“Santy took such great care of my dog and apartment while I was away, and was able to do so very last minute! Super responsive, responsible and easygoing. She also understands reactivity and was able to work with my anxious cattle dog very well. Highly recommend!”

“Chardonay did an incredible job watching our dog and home while we were away! She gave him a ton of love, kept his normal rhythm intact, and was communicative and provided updates and pics along the way. Highly recommend and would trust with our pet again.”

“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.”

“Darlene is absolutely wonderful!! She house sat for our 4 dogs (2 puppies and 2 seniors) and they were all loved and well cared for! She sent numerous pics and videos and they were all happy babies when we returned. Completely took the stress of leaving them away! ?”

“Scott provided excellent care for our two dogs, two chickens, and our home. He provided clear and timely communication. We felt like we left everything in goods hand when we were away. Thank you Scott!”

“Renee is a true animal lover, my cat Charlie loved Renee instantly - which is not how my cat feels about everyone. Renee made Charlie feel very comfortable while I was gone and went above and beyond, staying with her the whole trip and giving her lots of love. She also was quite diligent about following the instructions I gave, and cares a great deal about doing a professional job - which is not common in my experience with Rover sitters. She takes her job watching your loved one and your home seriously.”

“Valeriya was truly lovely! After a few days out of town, we returned home to a happy cat and a clean home. Valeriya was very communicative and sent us lots of cute pictures of our little guy ☺️”

“Kayla was a wonderful sitter for our cats while we were away. She was very good about communicating while we were away and our cats were very happy with her. Would be very happy to have her take care of them again!”

“Noemi and Zeke were amazing! They took such great care of our dogs and left our home spotless. The pups were happy and well-loved when we got back. We’ll definitely be booking with them again—highly recommend! 🐾”

“Cody did an incredible job at taking care of our cat and our apartment—he sent updates (and pictures) as well so i knew that Bug was well taken care of. it provided me a lot of ease of mind while we were away for two weeks. we will definitely be using him again in the future! thank you Cody!!”

“Robert took care of my five creatures over the weekend. He was very reliable, staying until we arrived home for a pass off. He did well with our dog’s big energy and our cats need for a calm presence. I’m convinced the house is as clean if not cleaner than when I left. He was responsive with updates and photos. He was able to give my cats their meds despite their best efforts to avoid or dissuade him. I will absolutely be reaching out to him again, the next time we need someone to stay with our animals.”

“Lucinda took great care of our home and pets while we were away on vacation. She was prompt in responding to our texts and sent plenty of updates and photos. We will book with Lucinda again!”
Kerns pet parents share their Rover experiences
Even before the trip Samantha showed reliability and care for the two dogs. Daily photos and updates made the trip all the more better knowing they were in good hands and enjoying their time. Handling two dogs can be more of an ordeal but she managed to give meet their individual needs and schedules. Came home to two happy dogs; would book again for a future trip.

Brielle did a fantastic job housesitting for my two dogs. One of my dogs is older and requires extra patience, plus medication at meals. Brielle handled everything expertly, sent pictures and updates throughout her visit and left the house spotless. My dogs were clearly well loved and taken care of. Strongly recommend - thanks, Brielle! 🙌

Jaycen did a great job watching my dog Lola, who can sometimes be a handful. I received daily updates & pictures. Also the house was very clean when I got home, even the trash was taken out & dishwasher run. I will definitely book Jaycen again when traveling.

Kyle was great. I was in a bind as I was out of the country and my sitter was allergic to my dogs. I had to find someone to go meet the sitter and my dogs and make the transition without me being around. He showed up on time, communicated well, and gave the girls the attention they needed. When I got home they were happy and healthy which is really all that matters.
Alex is amazing! Our weird dogs were both so calm when we came home, and one of them kept going into the bedroom to see if Alex was still home. Alex is friendly, communicative, professional, thoughtful, and will absolutely love your critters while you're away. He's great!

I'm elated to have found Barbra - my senior dog needs around the clock eye drops and pills, which is no easy task to stay on top of. but Barbra easily took over the whole medication routine without a hitch. she was so communicative, I never had to wonder for a single second if my girls were being well taken care of. Barbra is exactly the kind of pet sitter you want if you're a nervous pet parent like myself! I would love to book with her again in the future <3

Sydney was such an amazing dog and house sitter. She went above and beyond to make our pups feel loved while we were out of town, and even did a little birthday celebration for one of our dogs as we were gone during her birthday. She kept us in the loop by sending lots of pictures and providing regular updates on the pups. We came home to a clean house with all the bedding, towels, and dishes washed, which was such a treat after a long travel day. We’ll definitely use Sydney for dog and house sitting again and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for an awesome sitter!
