“I am overjoyed with the care my babies received with Natalya! My pup can be a bit of high maintenance with anxiety and bladder issues. She sent daily updates and reassured me of how they were doing with photos and videos! She did over night visits and hung out with them in the day as well! She is so kind and respectful. I could tell my fur babies felt at ease and comfortable in her care! I would recommend her to anyone and will definitely request her services in the future.”
“Rose was great! Stayed with our herd overnight and even managed to get our under-the-weather dog to take her meds. Our 3 cats warmed up to her really quickly and everyone was happy when we got home.”

“Minh was great! She took amazing care of my dog, was very responsive and sent me fun pictures and updates while I was away. I came home to a very happy boy so I couldn’t be happier!”

“We are so thankful for Victoria! She took care of our 3 dogs and home for a weekend and we trusted her through out our stay. We appreciate her communication and the time she spent with our dogs. Thank you Victoria!”

“Mariana is absolutely wonderful. She was very communicative, kind, and paid close attention to detail to make sure she was giving the best care to my older shiba, Luna who has a lot of quirks. :) I got so many updates with photos throughout her stay and did not have any worries with Luna’s care while I was away, which is priceless! On top of that, she kept everything very clean in the house. We would love to have Mariana stay again with Luna in the future. Thank you Mariana! :)”

“We love Heather so much! She watched our two dogs and cat for 5 nights, and took such good care of all of them. She has great communication, attention to detail, sends updates and photos, and most of all is sweet and kind with our animals. Our reactive dog loves her calm demeanor. Thanks, Heather!”
“Katelynn is a sweet and thoughtful sitter! She was very respectful of finding ways to help with our homecoming. She kept us informed and updated photos very well. Katelynn has a gift with animals and is missed at our home.”

“Ravan was awesome! She took such good care of my dog while I was away, I didn’t have to worry about a thing. She took him for walks and to the park. Even my plants were watered!! I will absolutely book with her again and will recommend her to anyone looking for a thoughtful and caring sitter.”

“Our dogs loved Jessica! She is very communicative and took care of them and our house as if it were her own. Our flight was delayed and she was able to help us out a little longer too.”

“I don’t know if you’re able to review a person more than once. But I had Andrhu coming for drop in visits during my long work hours because he lives just a few blocks away. I noticed my cat who is 15 took to him right away and he paid attention to my very *particular* requests about her care. Not only did I have a significant increase in my cats level of calmness - but literally at the LAST minute I saw that the sitter I use when I’m out of town had left my cat alone for almost 24 hours. Then pushed he out of bed when the cat tried to ask for minimal attention. To say I was crushed was an understatement. I was in complete tears. I have a lot going on and am kind of a single pet parent until my husband can join me in the USA. Andrhu AGAIN was a god send. One one days notice I let the other sitter go home for personal reasons and Andrhu agreed to stay - he was with her most all day every day. I came home today, my cat happy, playing with a ball at 15 years old. And now I am comfortable purchasing a kitten to make her (and I) even happier. Knowing I have Andrhu close by - he’s SO flexible. He’s honest and communicates expectations clearly which I appreciate and respect. The amount of guilt I carry about leaving her is at a zero. Down from about 200 on my last vacation. And now with our new addition coming - I consider Andrhu to be part of my cat tribe to make sure they’re all ok. I don’t want him to get completely booked (selfishly). But this is the relationship I needed for my sweet girl until my husband is allowed to live here - and for every vacation after. I highly recommend treating him with utmost respect. I have a guest set of linens, towels and hope Andrhu will help himself to anything food or drink in my home. At this point my home is him home and even if we haven’t met he is cat-family. Hire him whenever you can. The compassion he shows to even old pets it unmatched. I’m almost crying tears of joy from having my anxiety so much reduced in this difficult time in my life.”
“Matthew was awesome. My shy boy, William, took to him instantly. He has a new best friend. Bailey was very shy at first. Matthew was very patient and she eventually interacted with him more. I would highly recommend Matthew. He took very good care of my babies and our home.”

“Stephanie took excellent care of my two cats and high energy dog while my husband and I were in Italy for nearly two weeks! She was very communicative, shared the best photos, and even watered our plants! She goes the extra mile for animals, and I could see in every photo how happy my girls were to be spending time with her. So grateful to have found Stephanie and will be recommending her to all my friends and family :)”

“Wow!! We have been using Rover for 10 years and Megan is our first "perfect" sitter. She is super communicative, sends pictures with excellent little daily write ups that arent too short or too invasively long/frequent, and followed our instructions to a T. My neighbor even remarked that my dog seemed happy and content when she spotted them walking the lake together. I came home to a perfectly clean house - Megan had even washed and remade the guest bed and laid out her clean towels! The house also smelled heavenly with the dinner she had made before I arrived home; she must be a great cook. Even my plants had all thrived and seemed to be very happy and growing. If the plants are happy too, you know that you found a gem! ;) Not once did Megan call or text me with an emergency or needing help with small little idiosyncrasies when staying in a new home. She was incredibly self sufficient, reliable, and respectful of my home - but also great about communicating her needs upfront during our consultation, or asking permission via text while I was away. Truly a perfect sitter. I highly recommend you book with her.”

“Krista was amazing! She stayed in our home and gave our dog Bailey lots of love and attention. She also gave us thoughtful updates on how she was doing including some pictures. We came home to a happy pup and a spotless house. Highly recommend!”

“Lizette was hands down one of the best pet sitters I’ve ever had. They were attentive, thorough, respectful and kind. We did a meet and greet prior to booking and they made sure to bring a list of questions and take lots of notes on our pets behaviors, quirks, likes/dislikes. Parker is more on the anxious side when my partner and I travel and Lizette was intentional with spending as much time with him and playing with him as possible. He has a lot of energy, and Lizette made sure to be attentive to that. I would highly recommend Lizette to anyone that has anxious pups/high energy pets. & Of course, our little kitty, Dusty loved them too. Thank you, Lizette! We hope to use you in the future again.”

“Brittney and Megan were absolute angels!! From the moment I booked with them, they went above and beyond—checking in with me every day, sending the cutest, most beautiful photos of my babies, and most importantly, loving them like their own. 🥹💛 Knowing they were safe, snuggled, and genuinely cared for brought my anxiety down more than I can say. I could feel the warmth and peace they created in my absence. I will never be able to thank them enough—and I wouldn’t hesitate to book them again in a heartbeat. Truly the dream team. 💫🐾✨”

“Morgan was wonderful. She was so attentive, playful and caring towards my 5 month old puppy. I'm a first time dog owner, and she gave me helpful tips and even left me a list of suggestions of products for my pup. I have already asked her to watch him again. :)”

Matthew was awesome. My shy boy, William, took to him instantly. He has a new best friend. Bailey was very shy at first. Matthew was very patient and she eventually interacted with him more. I would highly recommend Matthew. He took very good care of my babies and our home.

Morgan was great, on time, and communicates. We werent gone long but recieved a sweet photo of our girls while they were in morgans care. We felt very comfortable leaving our girls in her hands. More days/ weekends planned for her to stay with our girls. Our girls loved her!!

Rain did an incredible job taking care of our anxious corgi and elderly kitty. We had just moved from out of state and it was our first time ever hiring a pet sitter while we flew back home to visit family for about five days, so we were nervous about figuring out animal care while we were gone. We found Rain here on Rover and they did such an incredible job at taking care of them and sending cute pictures and updates while we were gone. When we came home, we could tell that they were happy and well taken care of and Rain even left a little calming dog tv for our boy in the interim of our plane landing/driving home. I would highly recommend Rain and would most definitely book again as well! ^_^

Joanne was great. We booked her last minute when our usual dog sitter cancelled last minute. This was our first time using Rover and were a bit skeptical about letting a stranger in our home. She was flexible, a great communicator, and took great care of our fur baby and home. She even offered to come back the next morning if our flight plans changed. I will definitely reach out to Joanne again in the future and highly recommend her to care for your pets and home.
