“Porter is EXCEPTIONAL! Pebbles ADORES him! I read on here that he was very dependable (which was the biggest thing I was looking for). My experience with him was that he’s very dependable, he’s very dedicated to my pet’s care and safety, he kept my home clean, and I came home to a very happy pet. I could tell she had so much fun with him! I could not have asked for a more positive experience. Thank you, Porter!”
“Kat was great! I was in a last minute crunch to find a sitter and she came through eager and experienced! 🙌🏽 The meet and greet went well and she handled my big 97lb baby beautifully. Plenty of updates and the house was clean upon return. Would definitely recommend. Thanks Kat!”
“They are so reliable and I feel reassured when they’re staying at our house with our two dogs. Great communication and leave the house in great shape and pups well loved. Thank you!”
“Sarah did an amazing job taking care of my dog, Kobe! She was super communicative, sent lots of updates and pictures, and made me feel completely at ease while I was away. Kobe looked so happy and well cared for. I would absolutely recommend her and would love to work with her again!”
“Louise can be a temperamental dog and Mac was extraordinarily patient with her. Before I knew it he was giving her belly rubs. He was also respectful of our house and left the place just as we left it. I'd absolutely use him again.”
“Bennett did a wonderful job watching my two dogs while my family was on vacation. He bonded with both of them and helped them be comfortable while we were gone. I will definitely ask Bennett to watch my dogs again.”
“Maya was great! She made sure to get all important information beforehand and even offered to meet Winston before watching him. She communicated throughout the time and sent a picture. She is very nice and you can tell she really cares about your pet :)”
“Alycia did a great job with our dog who is getting older and had just been left with her long time house sitter for 2 weeks when we left her again about 3 weeks later with Alycia for the first time. Alycia was very patient with her and won her over, adhered to her schedule, walked her and fed her and I’m sure loved on her. I would leave our dog with Alycia again in a heartbeat!”
“Lauryn did a great job staying in our home with our pup. She followed our instructions for feeding and meds and sent updates with pictures. It was our first booking with Lauryn and we’ll certainly book her again and would recommend!”
“We were very fortunate to meet Jeremy and have him take care of our Golden Retriever, Zeus. He went the extra mile to come over and let me show him how Zeus is exercise him. He updated me on what they were doing each day. I would recommend him to anyone.”
“Jennifer and co were absolutely fantastic! I had a last minute request because my cat injured himself and needed extra care. Jennifer stayed with him, gave meds, and updated me with any changes. My other cat was also well loved and taken care of! I received many video and photo updates every night and I knew my babies were in good hands!!! I will definitely book again!”
“Tori took great care of our 2 dogs and 3 cats (plus a stray kitty staying with us!) she was flexible and communicative - we are so grateful for her taking on the care of our chaotic household.”
“Lesley was a life saver! We have 2 dogs, a cat, 2 mini donkeys, and a horse and she cared for all of them while we were gone. She even sent pictures of our babies which I love receiving while away from them. She gave them lots of cuddles and love; even if the cat may have forced her to cuddle more than anticipated 😅 we will definitely be reaching out to Lesley again whenever we need someone we can trust to watch our four legged babies!”
“Another successful booking with Chloe for our 3 pups! I received daily photos/videos, daily medication was administered, and the pups were in great spirits upon our return. You can tell they were well cared for.”
“Ryan was a wonderful companion for our dog Bailey. She played Frisbee and tug with her daily. She communicated with us every day with pictures. I felt very confident that Bailey was well cared for while we were gone. I'm so happy to have found her!”
“Kristen was awesome! Set up a time to come and meet the dogs ahead of time and kept us updated with pictures every day. Would absolutely have her watch our place and pups again!”
Kirkwood pet parents share their Rover experiences
Clarisa took great care of my 2 senior dogs and one senior cat for a week while I was away for 5 days. She was very sweet my pets, and they were happy and content when I got home as if I had never been gone. Exactly what you hope for! Clarisa was very communicative with me during the trip and sent daily photos of them which is always comforting. I highly recommend her services for your pets!
Mallory was a great sitter for our dog Gordon on relatively short notice! She very respectfully watched our home and Gordon, sharing many adorable photos and making sure our house was cleaner when we got back than when we left. Gordon even seemed to miss her quite a bit the first couple of days after she left :) highly recommend Mallory as a sitter, and I think Gordon would too!
Corinne took such great care of our senior dog during our week away. It was our first time leaving him with someone other than family, so we were definitely nervous, but she made the whole experience so much easier. She sent us pictures and updates throughout the stay, which gave us so much peace of mind. We could tell he was well cared for and comfortable at home while we were gone. We’d absolutely trust Corinne to watch him again!
Sarah did an amazing job taking care of my dog, Kobe! She was super communicative, sent lots of updates and pictures, and made me feel completely at ease while I was away. Kobe looked so happy and well cared for. I would absolutely recommend her and would love to work with her again!
As usual Sarah was awesome. I would actually rate her six stars out of five instead of five. I was worried when I left on my 8-day trip because my dog was a little sick and I had to take him to the vet on the Sunday before I left and fortunately the numbers were good enough that the vet felt I could travel and he would be okay. That said Sarah went up to my vet for me and picked up some medication to help him get back on his feet. She was the one making suggestions of what to feed him to get him to eat and I think that's typical of her going above and beyond.
Makayla took care of our older dog and two kitties. She stayed with them while we went on vacation, and she did a wonderful job! We didn’t have to worry, and she took care of them like they were her own. I would definitely ask her to take care of them again.
Lucy was great! She communicated well and did a great job with our two little dogs. One of our dogs is very old and wears a diaper at night and Lucy didn't seem to have any problems with her care. All went well and we would certainly recommend her and work with her again.
So grateful for Anna's help this weekend! As always she took great care of our two cats. She stayed at the house with them this time because our older cat is having some balance issues. She is attentive, a great listener and communicator, and provided timely updates with photos. Thanks Anna!
Rhiannon was amazing! She took such great care of our dog, Clifford, while we were overseas — he was clearly happy and well-loved the whole time. She also kept our house just the way we left it, and all of our plants were still alive (which is basically a miracle because I’m really good at killing them 😅). It was such a relief knowing everything was in good hands. We’d absolutely have her back again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy sitter!
Taran was wonderful! She is the best dog sitter we've had using Rover. She kept our 5-year old dog happy while we were away for over a week keeping us informed with photos, videos, and brief messages. When we returned our house was just as we left it. We will definitely want to have Taran sit for us again.
