2. Jaylynne R.
“Jaylynne! Omg she was absolutely amazing! My wife and I cannot say enough about how attentive, caring, communicative she was with our dog. She took care of her for over 10 days and our home was immaculate. She took care of our dog and provided photos like she was her own. We will be using her again.”

“Luis was very professional and obviously took great care of my dogs while I was away! He sent frequent updates and photos were was much appreciated!”
6. Mele J.
“Mele is great! This was my first time using Rover and I was super lucky to find her. She is so sweet and down to earth. My little dog has some quirks, but Mele was patient and took such good care of him while I was away. I really appreciate her communication with me and how she kept me updated with photos of my pup. I definitely recommend Mele and would love to have her dogsit for me again in the future!”
7. Luciana S.
“Luciana was wonderful with our senior Dachshund. She provided updates and photos of their days. We were very pleased with how calm and happy our dog was upon our return from a 4 day trip. Luciana was great with our sometimes stubborn dog about going out in the rain. We can't recommend her enough.”
8. Esther P.
“Esther went above and beyond the dog sitting call of duty. To begin, she really got to know Mauser before starting her weekly dog/house sitting. She took him on three meet-in-greets before starting. Esther was completely at ease with Mauser and once Mauser warned up to her a few hours alone in the house he protects, they became great buddies. Esther was professional, prompt and completely reliable with respect to taking care of Mauser and my house. I would recommend Esther to anyone wanting a professional dog/house sitter.”
9. Heather S.
“Heather was so great with our 5 month old baby girl! She adheres to schedules and directions, and goes above and beyond. We are so grateful for her help, and would absolutely work with her, again!”
10. Kasia D.
“Kasia took great care of our senior dog and 2 cats while we were away. We could tell they loved being with her from the photo updates and it made us feel at ease and able to enjoy our trip. I’d definitely recommend her to watch your pets!”
11. Olivia K.
“Olivia watched our senior dog and did an amazing job! Our dog loves her and she’s watched him a few times. She was super responsive, took care of him by giving him meds and walking him, shared photos with us, and left our house clean. We definitely recommend booking her to care for your pets!”
12. Wendy R.
“Wendy was amazing with our dog Bear and was extremely generous for watching him overnight in our house for 2 nights. She shared daily updates of Bear enjoying himself! She was even kind enough to block off an area of our backyard where Bear had tried to escape. We also really appreciated that she offered to come back and check on Bear if our travel home was going to be delayed. We would definitely recommend Wendy!”
13. Sarah G.
“Sarah is the best dog sitter there is. She has been my senior dog's number one sitter for over a year now and she makes my dog feel so comfortable, loved, and like a part of the family. She provides consistent updates, makes sure that she has all the proper instructions, and is very adaptable to my dog's medical and personality needs. My dog has trouble walking and Sarah has been extremely patient and kind with her care of my dog and my dog always comes back so much happier after seeing Sarah! I cannot recommend her enough and you should know that your dog will receive top tier care while being watched by Sarah. 100/10 rover and pet care giver. Five stars.”
14. Casey C.
“I highly recommend Casey as a pet caregiver! Casey and I have been coworkers for almost 2 years now. She is great with animals and is very responsible, trustworthy, and reliable. Casey is also incredibly organized & punctual and such a wonderful & friendly person to work with! I couldn’t recommend Casey enough!”
15. Caroline C.
“Po was very well taken care by Caroline even with all of his special attention he requires. He was as happy as could be when I got back home and I knew that he was in good hands from the moment I met her. She is a truly wonderful Rover and I recommend her for anybody in need! Will definitely book again.”
16. Jessica F.
“We found Jessica when our dog sitter cancelled with little notice before our trip and we are SO THANKFUL we did! She was so easy to work with, amazing to our pups, and left our place cleaner than she found it. We look forward to using Jessica again to house sit for our two pibble rescues. She handled their unique personalities like it was no problem and admitted their medicine with no issue. Thank you Jessica!”
17. Emma R.
“Emma is amazing! I have had her help with my dog, Chloe, for over 3 years. Chloe does not like many people, but she loves Emma and cries out happy cries at the sight of her. Emma takes her on walks, plays with her, and throws the ball (her favorite). Emma is calm and loving and loves animals! I have shared her info with my mom and brother; they also love using her!”
18. Dina and Joe G.
“Dina was so great with our pup! Ontime, sent us multiple photos and messages, followed all instructions, and treated him very well. Will rebook with them again.”
19. Maddie R.
“Maddie did a great job caring for our pets while we were away. Our dog doesn't warm up to everyone easily but she was very comfortable with Maddie. When we returned it was clear that the needs of our dog and our cats were met. It was reassuring knowing they were in good hands.”
20. Antonet P.
“Antonet is the type of person that truly loves animals. She’s the perfect fit & actually cares, she goes above & beyond with everything she does, but especially loves pets. She literally has a tattoo of her dog, if that doesn’t signify how much she cares about dogs, I don’t know what does. Trust me on this, no one is going to do a better job showing love, care and empathy as a dog-sitter than her. I’d bet her doing this isn’t even a money thing, just that she loves pets and wants to keep them safe and give them the best vacation of their lives. Unbiased opinion, just being real and know her. I took the time to write this because it’s true and if you care about your pet like I do, this kind of stuff matters so felt it was right to advocate to help provide clarity. Thank you! :)”
