“Maddie did a great job watching our 9 week old puppy in our home! We only had him a week so I was obviously really nervous to leave him. I also wanted to keep him on a schedule. Maddie was willing to stay at our house and get up with him overnight. She did a great job, was very respectful of our home, and I could tell Walter had a great time with her! She did a great job connecting with me ahead of time to make sure she knew his schedule and kept me updated during the stay. I will definitely use Maddie in the future and highly recommend her.”
“Alyssa went above and beyond for our girl, who just happens to be a bit anxious. She took good care of our home and sent updates throughout our time away, we really felt better knowing she was watching our baby. Cannot say enough how much we appreciate this service!”
“Andrea is amazing with our pup!!! We are so thankful to have someone who cares for her like family while we are away. We will continue using her for any of our dog sitting needs.”
“Aspen was fantastic with the animals, frequent check-ins and so respectful of our home. We'd be delighted to have Aspen back for a future trip”
“Breon was absolutely wonderful with our two dogs! We read every review and they could not be more accurate; Breon has a warm, welcoming presence and she clearly loves what she does. Our dogs immediately took to her when we first met so we knew she would be a great fit. Her communication was excellent, which helped us feel so comfortable with her caring for the dogs. She sent such precious pictures during the walks and during their time hanging out together in the evenings. We also so appreciate Breon’s thoughtfulness in keeping our home tidy, such a nice touch that really helps you feel relaxed when you return home. We recommend her highly and will absolutely be having her stay with our pups in the future! Thank you Breon!!”
“Chloe is an amazing house/dog sitter! I highly recommend her! She stayed with my 3 dogs for over a week while I was on a cruise. I had wifi and cell service issues, but she worked with me and we stayed in contact when I could. Upon return, my dogs are happy, healthy and glad to have us back (although they are been looking for Chloe too!) My house is clean, my dishes were washed and put away, and everything is just as I left it! Chloe was my perfect solution!”

“Bryn was such a joy to have dog sitting our “only child”, our 4-year-old yorkie. Despite being anxious dog owners leaving him with a sitter for the first time, she was calm and communicative. She gave our dog, Byron, many walks and cuddles and sent a picture a day to give us our fix! :) She very kindly dealt with a broken dishwasher and the maintenance man, and also fetched our mail and packages while we were away. We highly recommend her as a sitter. Thank you, Bryn! We will be reaching out again in the future!!”

Danielle C.
“I've known Danielle for almost 30 years, and she's been an animal lover for as long as I've known her. In high school, she adopted her aunt's boxer when her aunt became too sick to care for him, and Danielle became the loving caretaker of that dog for the rest of his life. In adulthood, her first act as a new homeowner was to adopt 2 cats who are still happy and healthy members of her family today. And in 2023, after her fiance passed, she adopted his 2 cats and became their full-time caregiver. Danielle is a great pet mom, and would make a fantastic caregiver for anyone's fur babies!”

Andrew gives us a peace of mind being away from our dogs and home. This is our 2nd time having him take care of our 2 dogs for overnight stays. We received updates and photos multiple times a day and enjoyed his summaries of the dogs’ activities. We hope Andrew continues to be available for future travel dates!

We truly could not have had a better sitter than Kaycey! She was absolutely amazing with our dog Bo for the duration of our vacation, sent photos, updates, and went above and beyond to take care of our home while we were gone. We could not be more grateful for her kindness and patience with our crazy puppy. As long as Kaycey is available, we will be utilizing her services for all future dog sitting needs!
Jules did a wonderful job of taking care of my Snoopy. She was responsive- sent pictures- communicated clearly and pleasantly and was willing to work with me as my care needs were last minute and unorganized. I am very appreciative of the great care she gave my pup.
Katie watched our spoiled furbabies with love and care! We will be using her services again and would absolutely recommend to everyone. One of our dogs is special needs and Katie truly did such a great job of caring for her. She stayed at our house and was respectful, kept us updated and was very responsive. Both our indoor and outdoor spaces were kept just as good as we left them, which was great to return home to.
Julianna is conscientious and communicative! We came back to a happy little guy and a home that was just as nice as we left it. She is a perfect fit for us! She even had recommendations for where we were vacationing and that was sweet. 🙃our little guy soaked up her kindness and loved her dependability❣️
Rachel was wonderful! Always quick to respond, provided updates & pictures throughout the stay, and took excellent care of my home as well. She was flexible with scheduling, including doggy daycare drop offs and pick ups, which was greatly appreciated. It was so comforting to know my pup was in great hands while I was away. Looking forward to booking again. Thank you for everything, Rachel!
Abbey and James house sat for us and watched our dog and cat while we were on a week long vacation. We reached out last minute after our previous plans fell through and Abbey and James were able to accommodate us. They provided a ton of updates and pictures of our pets, which was great and made us feel so much better, especially with our first time using Rover. They walked our dog several times a day, which she loved, and sent plenty of photos of her adventures. They also left our home very clean and organized and washed our guest room sheets before they left. We are so happy we chose Abbey and James to house sit for us while we were gone! They made us feel so comfortable and we were able to enjoy our vacation knowing our pets were in great hands! We will definitely reach out to Abbey and James for pet sitting in the future!
