“Mariah was awesome! From the moment she met our dog I knew she would be a good fit—Stella was at ease and loved her. You could tell from the pictures she sent that Stella and the cats were happy and comfortable and that she was taking great care of them. 10/10 would definitely book again!”


“CK was great with my dog and cat, and very communicative! He was even able to come back and check on the animals later than planned when we were delayed coming home. Would definitely book again!”


“It was our first time using Rover and we had a great experience! Ericka sent regular pics and updates. When we got home our dog was happy and content. When we’ve had to use something more like daycare in the past, he just gets really stressed and barely eats. We will be using rover again in the future for sure.”


“Emmaline was so thoughtful and on top of things! We had a last minute booking that she was able to make work which we really appreciated. House was left in great shape and we know our pup was well cared for. Already looking forward to our next booking!”



“Natalie was fabulous! Asked great clarifying questions, took lovely care of my babies, and was a pleasure to just chat with. I highly recommend Natalie and will be using her services again!”

“Sadie was great. She was available last minute to watch our dog over a holiday weekend and was able to do a meet and greet within a short amount of time. Sadie took great care of our dog, Schenley while we were away.”


“Sarah took great care of my dog while I was on vacation! She was very communicative and sent me pictures every day. She went above and beyond the make sure that not only my dog was taken care of, but that my cats and home were taken care of as well. She was lovely to talk to and I’ll definitely rebook with her in the future!”


“Heather was amazing with my two furry babies. They settled right in and took to her right away. When I got home I could tell not only were they taken care of but my home was as well. She sent multiple pictures at the start of every day with an update on the day previously. My dogs were very happy and comfortable as was I. I am always a nervous wreck leaving my babies but Heather made me feel comfortable. We will definitely be booking with Heather in the future again. Thank you for everything Heather and for treating my dogs like your own. Ollie and Olive miss you already & are looking forward to their next stay with you.”


“D'Aujanae did a wonderful job housesitting on my vacation! The pets were all happy and healthy on return, and she was able to extend a day when our flight got delayed for 24 hours. Will be looking to book her again the next time we all go out of town!”


“We have 4 animals (2 dogs, cat, rabbit). Traisaun stayed with them over the weekend and did an amazing job with them. We can tell how much they enjoyed (or not) their sitter by how needy they are when we get home. Traisaun was very attentive and interactive with them. They calmed down (and went to sleep) very quickly after we got home, which means they really didn’t miss us when he was here. Each of the animals has their own feedings, needs, and exercise (and some medicines), so they are not the easiest pets to sit for. I would highly recommend Traisaun and will definitely have him sit with them if he’s available! Oh, and the house was spotless when we got back! (did I mention 4 animals?) You won’t go wrong with Traisaun!”


“Olivia G. provided an awesome house-sitting experience for my fur babies! They loved her a lot and she took really great care of them and went above and beyond. She was also very communicative and provided me with lots of updates. We will definitely be booking again with Olivia!”


“Laura did a great job taking care of our pup!”


“Syd was very kinda and kept us updated!”


“Darra was an absolute dream pet/house sitter! Responsive and went the extra mile when our flight home was delayed. Our dog seems better behaved and both the cat and pup seemed chill when we got home which to us meant they received lots of love while we were away. We would not hesitate to recommend her and will be sharing her Rover info friends/neighbors!”


“Sydney was great with our husky and pug! Our pug is diabetic, blind and elderly and Sydney was fine with giving her insulin. They were both well cared for. We will definitely seek out her services when we need a sitter in the future!”


“We are very grateful to have found Ellie! She watched Moose for a few days while we were on vacation, and everything went great. Moose looked like he has having a great time in all of the photos and updates that were sent. We will definitely hire Ellie again and recommend her for house sitting!!”


“Maya was great and communicated with us and give us regular pictures and updates! We will book with her again.”


“Jessica was an amazing dog sitter! Our dog Nico is reactive and takes awhile to get used to be people. Jessica scheduled multiple visits with us to spend time with Nico so that he could be comfortable with her. She is amazing at reading dog body language and never pushed Nico into situations that would make him uncomfortable. We felt so comfortable leaving Nico with her! She sent us pictures of Nico during her stay and kept us updated on how things were going. We would definitely use Jessica again!”


“Kristen was amazing! Did such an awesome job watching our guy in home for us. Would highly recommend!!”


“Lauren was fantastic! She truly cares and loved our dog just like her own!! Wonderful communication before, during and after her stay. Have already booked again!”
