Amanda is an absolute professional. Our dog is not comfortable with everyone and we had the utmost confidence in Amanda from the meet-and-greet. We highly recommend her services - she is communicative, sends photos often, and she even gave our dog a Christmas stuffy :) we would be fortunate to have Amanda watch our pup again!

Patrick was fantastic! This was our first time using Rover for our dog Lincoln and we couldn't be happier. Patrick was awesome from the "meet & greet" right through our 12 day trip overseas. He provided tremendous care for Lincoln and our home, with updates and photos throughout. We highly recommend Patrick and will definitely hire him in the future!

Sophia was flexible with my last-minute drop-in, and I appreciate the time she spent with my cat, who doesn't like to be alone. She was very friendly and made me feel comfortable letting her into my home. I would definitely hire her again!

Teresa is an amazing caretaker. Our dog has a heavy background and it her takes a minute to warm up to new folks. Teresa is calm, patient, and loving. We had an unexpected event to attend and we appreciated that she squeezed us in without much notice. She took time out of her day to meet Honey before we left for the weekend and we immediately felt at ease and knew Honey was in responsible, good hands. We will definitely book Teresa in the future and recommend her to friends.

Where do I begin?? Melody is the best! I haven’t trusted many people with my dog but I would 100% trust Melody to watch him again. My biggest worry was that my dog was taking 4 different medications when I was leaving him and Melody administered the complicated medications with no problem at all. He is also a very high energy dog and she cared for him with such ease. If you are looking for someone you can trust and rely on to take excellent care of your pet, then look no further. Oh and she cleaned my apartment - it was spotless and cleaner than when I left it. Such a kind gesture to come home to after a long travel day. I cannot recommend Melody enough :)

This was our first time using Rover, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience with Michael. He was incredibly conscientious in our home and followed all of our instructions to a T. Our two dogs can be anxious when left alone and require a detailed routine, and Michael was great about following our protocol exactly, which we really appreciated. He kept in regular contact, sending daily updates and photos, which helped us feel at ease while we were away. On top of that, he went above and beyond by even stripping the bed before leaving. Michael was kind, reliable, and clearly great with dogs—we feel so lucky to have found him and would absolutely book him again!

This is the first time I’ve used Rover, and it certainly will not be the last. I was so lucky to find Karen, who lives in my town, responded quickly to my first email, and came over to meet my 3-year-old chocolate lab that same afternoon. Within a few minutes, my dog was basking in Karen’s attention and letting me know that she would be happy and comfortable spending time in Karen’s care. Karen made sure my energetic dog got plenty of exercise and sent pictures every day while I was gone. I came home to a happy dog and a peaceful house. My dog and I are both hoping to have a continuing relationship with Karen.

Here's a review you can use: --- I can't say enough good things about Eddy and his girlfriend! They took care of my dog Sky, and I was truly impressed with their dedication and love for animals. From the moment I met them, it was clear that they genuinely care about pets. Sky came back happy and well taken care of, which is all a pet owner can ask for. They provided regular updates and were always communicative. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for reliable and compassionate pet sitters. Thank you,

Kristen is great. She housesat and took amazing care of our dog and bird. Like most pet parents our pets have idiosyncrasies (or maybe that's just us) and she was very accommodating and kept us informed on activities daily. She also was a highly conscientious house sitter leaving things better than when she arrived. We will definitely use Kristen again. Not only did we like her but our dog has a favorite new friend.

We booked Kate to house sit for the first time over a 2 day weekend. How lucky we were! Kate responds immediately to texts, arrived on time for a meet & great and instantly became a BFF with our 2 dogs, arrived on time for 2 night stay, very responsible and house was spotless when we came back. She was super flexible and easy to work with. Dogs still miss her as every morning they are still going into the room she slept in to look for her. Very much look forward to booking her again.

Stephanie is incredible! She is a dog-loving, capable person who took excellent care of both of our dogs, including one senior dog. She stayed at our house and treated our home and doggos with love and respect. She is responsive, easy to communicate with, and a quick-study when it came to learning our dogs’ schedules and needs. Definitely plan to work with her again (if our schedules align)!

Eddy stayed with our German Shepherd over the Thanksgiving holiday and treated her to a wonderful weekend with lots of walking, running, and snuggling. We needed help last minute because she was in heat and didn’t feel comfortable boarding her - Eddy came through and wasn’t fazed by any of the many instructions we had for her, or her puppy craziness. He sent lots of updates and we knew she was in great hands. Absolutely would recommend him!

Michael was absolutely wonderful with our boys this weekend. Dennis is in a delicate stage of his leg recovery and requires extra attention, and Michael was incredibly conscientious, following every instruction, giving careful supervision, and keeping us updated so we never had to worry. Both dogs were happy, relaxed, and clearly well loved. We’re so grateful for his care and will gladly book with him again!

We had Melody watch our dogs while we were away recently and she was amazing! The pups were well cared for and happy when we got home, which says a lot. She sent us daily updates with pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were gone. On top of that, she helped out around the house by taking out the trash, washing the bedding she used, and even resetting a breaker when the bathroom power went out. That wasn’t something we ever expected her to have to deal with, but she took care of it anyway, which we really appreciated. Melody is super reliable, thoughtful, and easy to work with. We’re so glad we found her and would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a great sitter.
