1. Rachel S.

“Tilly got her snoot booped by Rachel and she loved it! Rachel was a dynamic combination of Super Nanny, Chauffeur, and Big Sis while we were away, sending regular updates that made me jealous of all the fun they were having. Highest recommendation!”


2. Claudia A.

“Claudia did a wonderful job with our very persnickety cat and dog! She was on time, sent pictures, and managed to win both our pets over! Claudia is great!”


3. Daniel P.
“I am also a Rover sitter, and Dan has accompanied me on many visits, and we have also tag-teamed visits if I couldn't make a time (always with owners permission). He is attentive, loving, and patient with all the animals we have visited! He is also respectful of the animals boundaries, which certainly helps winning them over (especially if they usually don't like men). He is timely and sends lots of photos along with a description of the antics he and the pet did that visit! He's incredibly trustworthy and a great caretaker!”


4. Daniela M.

“Daniella was amazing. She took great care of our dog, sent many update photos while we were away and kept us up to date. She even washed the sheets and towels before she left. Will definitely use her in the future.”


5. Rachael G.

“Rachael was very communicative, sent photos of my pets, and responded to my text in a timely manner. She took great care of my pets and I would definitely recommend her. I plan on using her again for future needs.”


6. Jenna V.

“AMAZING!! Jenna is so patient with Pillow and takes such good care about my little guy. He has very bad anxiety and she is so kind and good to my guy. I highly recommend Jenna she is the BEST!”


7. Claudia H.

“Claudia was amazingly professional and attentive to my two senior cats. I had to go out of town for 9 days and she stayed over, taking great care of them. For shorter trips away, I usually have friends stop in to check on them, but the cats are always stressed out when I get back. This time, they were pretty normal when I got home despite the longer time away, clearly having felt well taken care of the whole time!”


8. Christopher R.

“Our pets (dog, cat and fish) were very well taken care of by Chris while we were away for over a week. Chris asked lots of detailed questions, sent regular updates, and even got to pet our very shy kitty, who is terrified of strangers. Everyone was very happy and healthy upon our return. We will definitely book with Chris again.”


9. Graeme C.

“Graeme took care of our Ezra and our home while we had to travel. He was thoughtful, caring, super-responsive, flexible and thorough. We could tell Ezra enjoyed his time with Graeme. We will work with Graeme again and can't recommend him highly enough.”


10. John G.
“John is the most caring, loyal, friend and dog owner I know. He and his family recused both their dogs from down south. Those two dogs, Daisy and Dakota, are so happy and healthy and full of love. He also helps volunteer at an animal shelter in Salem, MA where he walks dogs and much more. I've never met anyone who loves and cares for animals as much as John does. He rocks.”




11. Aaron , Kaylee, & Valerie M.


“Kaylee did an amazing job watching after our senior dog during our recent vacation! She is experienced and professional, communicated well, and was able to administer some eyedrops our dog is currently receiving. We are especially grateful because we booked a little bit last minute, after another boarding facility had canceled on us due to over booking. We started as a stressful situation a few days before our vacation turned out being the best scenario! Our dog stayed in the comfort of our own home and had amazing care. We will definitely book again!”


12. Bailey L.


“Bailey is truly a gem. She stayed with our two young and energetic pups for 5 nights and took care of them with so much thought and love. We left her with a long list of details and instructions which she followed dutifully. She took the dogs on adventures throughout our neighborhood and sent us so many photos throughout our trip. This was our first time leaving the pups for this many nights in a row and it was the least stressed I’ve ever seen them after any amount of time away. Bailey’s experience and knowledge of dog behavior shown through in how she adapted to support our dog’s individual personalities and needs. Not to mention we returned to an impeccably clean house. There is no doubt we’ll be asking her back for our next trip!”


13. Alexandra Y.
“Alexandra is amazing with animals. She has watched my dog more than once and is very responsible. She will take care of your pet like it is hers. She is a very reliable and she will take great care of your pet(s).”


14. Clara M.

“I cannot say enough about Claire. She took care of everything. In my opinion, tater ( the dog ) would rather live with Claire than me at this point. That’s how good she is with animals. 100% recommend her!!!”


15. Juilieanna R.

“I highly recommend Juilieanna she is patient and takes fanatic care of my pup. She sends me videos and photos throughout the day with status updates and I appreciate the kindness and great care she gives my dog!”


16. Julia G.

“Julia was great, reliable, punctual, and respectful. She did a great job managing our dog's medications and reporting back with frequent updates.”


17. Margaret S.

“Maggie was wonderful with my dog, Paco. She stayed with him for an evening while I was out. Paco was calm when I got home, which is awesome because he can be an anxious pup.”


18. Rob C.

“Rob did a wonderful job taking care of my dog and cat, and administered medicine when my dog broke out in a rash. I will definitely book him again”


19. Katie S.

“I was a little nervous hiring someone on Rover who I didn’t know to house sit my three pups, but I am glad I trusted the reviews. Dogs were safe and happy and house looks just the way we left it. Will rebook!”


20. Riya B.

“Riya was great- we definitely recommend her for anyone who wants to feel comfortable leaving their animals when they have to leave. She was great at keeping us updated, asking questions, and paying really close attention to the health and happiness of both our cat and dog! We will for sure be coming back to ask her to watch them in the future because she is very dependable and trustworthy.”
