Sasha was so patient and wonderful with our 7mo large breed puppy while staying with him overnight for 3 nights. She was not only very attentive to him, but also upheld all my asks for caring for him.

Charlii was so amazing with my big pup Blue and older cat! She took Blue on so many adventures, communicated with me daily with lots of details and photos, and left my house sparkly clean. Would definitely have her house sit again!

Samantha took care of my 5 year old Vizsla pup for a multi day housesitting stay and was just incredible - her communication leading up to and during the stay was impeccable, she was punctual, attentive to details, sent me multiple pictures and check ins a day, took amazing care of the house, and overall just showered my dog with love and listened to every instruction I left and beyond. I would 110% highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and trustworthy sitter. Thank you Samantha and I will definitely be re-booking with you!

Melina was an incredible dog sitter for my pup! She is highly responsive, thoughtful, and followed all of my instructions. It was my first time leaving my dog over the weekend using Rover and it was a great experience! My dog became quickly comfortable and relaxed with her and she made sure to send tons of text and photo updates throughout the weekend. Thank you again, Melina!

He followed all of my instructions to a T and was a great house guest. I really appreciate how fast he communicated with me throughout the process. My dog normally barks at people and his calm presence was a nice fit to keep Kuta calm.

Not only would Samantha be an awesome dog walker/sitter for your dog, she also has a dog herself so she knows what she's doing. She has also fostered several different dog breeds/mixes and understands how different dog breeds can act. Samantha is an experienced and amazing dog owner/dog walker. She takes them for the best walks out around the neighborhood or in the forest preserve. If you want a dog walker who not only takes your dog for fun walks, but genuinely cares and treats your dog right...then choose Samantha!

Dennis did a wonderful job watching my 13 month old Collie puppy. My dog is large and somewhat high energy and needs many miles of walks and Dennis did a wonderful job making sure that he got all of the mental and physical stimulation he needed. I got lots of picture updates, and felt very relaxed while leaving my dog while I was on vacation. Dennis also took great care of my home and was super responsive whenever I had questions. We did one meeting before I booked Dennis for the weekend, and then I booked him for one dog walk session before the Dog Sitting time because he was going to arrive after I had left. He was super open to everything and he reviewed my dog care instructions before I left. I felt like we had really clear really good communication. I’ve used several Rover pet sitters and Dennis is by far the best one that I’ve booked. I cannot recommend him enough! (unless you want him on the same weekend that I do and then I would still recommend him but I call dibs!)

I highly recommend Rose for your pet sitting or dog walker needs! Rose lovingly cared for Bear, our 2 year old dog, for a week while we were out of town. She took him for great walks, played with him, and was excellent at communicating with us. If we had a question we heard back from Rose right away. When we returned home Bear was not stressed or anxious at all, he loved his time with Rose!

Chas was great with Buddy. Buddy's a senior dog who requires a little extra TLC and Chas really delivered, even getting him over to the vet for a visit. I'd highly recommend him to anyone who is worried about leaving their furry friends behind while they are on a long trip.

Honestly could not have found a better pet sitter! She really took care of our little crew like they were her own. We came back to stress free, happy pets, which for our needy little lovea isn’t always the norm. Joanna was beyond considerate and sent lots of pictures which showed just how well cared for they all were. Cannot recommend highly enough!

Alejandro is the best! Was available kind of last minute and really made me feel at ease while we were away. Worked with my anxious dogs to help them be comfortable. One is a senior and the other is a teenager so it’s not always easy balancing their energies. They were so calm and sweet when I got home, I knew they had a nice time with him. Will definitely book again!

There aren't enough words to describe how amazing Sandra is at caring for pets! If you're looking for a sitter that will care for them as though they are her own, Sandra is the sitter for you. She has watched my two 5-year old cats several times and there is no sitter that has given my boys the care and attention that Sandra has. I absolutely trust her in my home and know that she will always be attentive and thorough while I am away. Sandra is thoughtful and very communicative and gives the best updates with lots of pictures that always makes me relax comfortably knowing that they are in great hands. I can't recommend her enough!!

I had Esteban house sit to look after my big, rambunctious dog Sable for 6 days. Not only did Esteban take amazing care of my dog, he left the house in incredible condition. All my dog’s needs were met, and he sent regular pupdates. I’m a very anxious person and it was my first time using Rover, but Esteban put me at ease and I am so glad I decided to go with him. I would 100% use Esteban again if I ever leave town. I believe it’s safer and easier on my dog than boarding her at a dog hotel. You da man, Esteban!
