1. Miranda H.


“Miranda is very professional, responsible, and communicative! She visited us before the job to meet us and our pups, and we could tell right away that she was warm and friendly and asked all the right questions to prepare for the job. We needed someone to spend a lot of time at our home since our youngest dog could not yet be trusted alone for a long time, and she was completely up for that. We got regular updates and pictures throughout her stay without any prompting and we returned to a clean home and two relaxed and happy pups. I highly recommend Miranda! She is the best dog/home sitter we've ever had.”


2. Ben G.

“We just got home from a 5 night trip out of town and Ben stayed at the house watching our mini dachsund and elderly cat. We were very happy with his attentiveness and regular communications with us over the time of our trip. He sent daily pictures and was very quick to respond to texts. The house was clean and the animals were happy when we returned. We will be using his services again!”


3. Lauren L.

“Lauren was great with our pups! We have three big dogs and she sent updates on each one when she let them and fed them! It made it easier on me being gone knowing they were well taken care of. We came home to three happy dogs!! Will definitely be using Lauren again in the future.”


4. Heidi S.

“Heidi was fantastic with Quincy! It's so refreshing to work with someone who is not only organized but also makes sure everything is clearly laid out, ensuring everyone is on the same page. She asked great questions to understand Quincy’s needs and gave him all the care and attention he deserved. Heidi provided the perfect amount of updates and even went the extra mile to give Quincy additional stimulation by taking him to one of his favorite walking spots. She truly goes out of her way to understand the dogs she cares for and makes sure their owners feel at ease. It’s been a pleasure working with her!”


5. Heather I.
“Heather was very prompt with communication, keeping me updated with photos and videos of my boys (dogs). I felt completely at ease knowing my boys were in good hands. Heather is a true professional, arriving on time, following instructions, and ensuring a safe and comfortable environment for my dogs. My boys love visits from Heather and can't get enough of her when she's here. Overall, I would highly recommend Heather to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter through Rover. She is truly a gem!”


6. Natalie J.

“Natalie could not have been more perfect. She came to our home to meet us and our dog and we liked her immediately. So did our dog. On the day that she was scheduled to stay with our dog, she arrived on time and showed genuine concern for our home and our dog. She was very attentive to our dog and his routines and habits. She sent us numerous photos of our happy boy throughout the weekend. Natalie left the house as neat as she found it and while our dog was happy to see us, he was very affectionate towards Natalie as well. Our neighbors thought she was terrific when they met her out on walks with our dog. I cannot recommend her highly enough.”


7. Kiara C.

“Kiara was a blessing! She was so attentive to our two pups. One was somewhat anxious since she'd never stayed anywhere but our home before but after a time she mellowed out and relaxed w Kiara. Our other was able to snuggle on her lap when they weren't out taking walks. She played fetch w them. She sent adorable photos of their day together. We felt secure knowing they were well cared for.”




8. Rosie H.

“I was admittedly a bit nervous to have someone I had only met once watch our dog in our home for a full week but Rosie did a fantastic job. Despite the fact that we were out of the country and in a different time zone, her communication was excellent. She sent regular pictures and updates throughout her stay, giving me the peace of mind to relax and fully enjoy our vacation. The dog and our cat both seemed happy and well cared for when we returned. She also took very good care of the house and left everything neat and tidy. I highly recommen Rosie and would definitely use her again.”


9. Megan O.

“I’m so glad I found Megan! I have two resident dogs, George and Bella, and a foster dog, Roxy. Roxy is a boxer pit mix with a lot of trauma due to being found on the streets and comes across as aggressive toward new people. Megan was undeterred and even came by twice to meet her before staying over. George is also not fond of new people but took to Megan quickly. She was great with the dogs, especially helping Roxy through her routine that’s different than the other two. She also kept my house in great shape and even shoveled the walkway during a snowstorm. I’ve booked Megan again to watch the dogs during a future trip and highly recommend her.”


10. Kelly M.

“We had an amazing experience with Kellyfor housesitting and doggie care! From the initial meet and greet to the end of the weekend, she exceeded our expectations. Kelly took great care of our 13-year-old silky poo and 5-year-old Rhodesian Ridgeback from Friday to Sunday. She kept us updated with daily pics, accommodated our schedule changes, she even went the extra mile when we were delayed by traffic and stayed with the boys longer. Our boys loved her, and it's clear she followed all our care instructions diligently. We're definitely booking her again - a top-notch rover sitter!”


11. Grace R.

“Grace was amazing. She stayed at my house with my baby boy blu and took such great care of my baby blu. Sent lots of pictures and videos of them cuddling and having fun. I will be booking Grace again.”


12. Kaila M.

“Kaila was amazing!! She took care of my German Shepherd while I was away for the weekend. She kept me updated the whole time and I’m so grateful she took such a good care of my baby!”


13. Wordda A.

“We needed a house sitter to watch our 2 dogs and 2 cats on short notice. Wordda was an exceptional choice! She did a great job with our pets and gave us peace of mind that our house was left in good hands. Wordda is a personable young lady that communicated consistently throughout our trip with both text messages and pics. We highly recommend Wordda and will be using her services in the future!!”


14. Sophia R.
“I can’t recommend Sophia Ryan enough for pet sitting! She is an absolute natural with animals and took such wonderful care of my pet while I was away. From the moment we met, I could tell she was responsible, kind, and truly passionate about animals. She provided regular updates, including photos and messages, which gave me peace of mind knowing my pet was in great hands. Not only did she follow all instructions carefully, but she also went above and beyond—playing, cuddling, and making sure my pet felt comfortable and loved. If you’re looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter, Sophia Ryan is the best choice.”

16. Stacey E.

“Our dogs had a great stay with Stacey! She took wonderful care of our two dogs, including one who has epilepsy and requires medication twice a day. She was responsive to our messages and provided picture updates, and spent tons of time with them to ensure they were happy and comfortable. Highly recommend Stacey!”


17. Dominika W.

“Dominika did a great job taking care of our three cats and tiny dog while the entire family took a long-awaited vacation. We usually leave a family member at home to care for the pets as we have very detailed care instructions. She and her family have experience with our rare breed of dog, Prague Ratters, and our boy Vozel loves her! Excellent communication and photos every day. Will definitely book Dominika again!”


18. Allison W.
“Allison took such great care of our pets (one cat, one 90 pound dog!) over a long weekend. She was an excellent, consistent communicator—sending us pictures and updates regularly—and made sure she understood all our and the pets’ preferences. She made herself available for a meet and greet ahead of time, which was very much appreciated. Allison was a considerate, reliable, and diligent, and we will not hesitate to call on her again!”


19. Haylee L.

“Haylee always takes great care of Bandit and our apartment. We are very grateful for her care!”


20. Ethan G.
“I’ve known Ethan for many years as a close family friend. He is very responsible young adult and that is reflected with his care for pets. Our family has two dogs of our own that both love Ethan and and are both always so happy to see him! Ethan always does a great job and we know our pets are in good hands when we’re out of town.”
