This was my first time using Rover and Neal made it a great experience! Neal took great care of my dog Titus while I was on a trip and I couldn’t be more thankful. I was gone for 2 weeks and he sent me multiple pictures and updates throughout the trip! He made sure to take Titus for walks and that he got his medicine every morning and he looked happy in every picture Neal sent and I couldn’t ask for more. I would 100% use Neal for every trip I take in the future.

Tammy was a fantastic sitter for my cat Solana! She was so kind and asked all detailed questions about my cat’s medication and food schedule. I loved all the picture updates she gave of how my cat was doing while I was out of town. Thank you Tammy!

Victoria was a great fit for us! She came to meet our dog in advance and we went over all of Rusty’s quirks. She took notes and seem to follow all directions. When we returned after our trip our house was tidy and the dog seemed happy. We would definitely use her again!

Renee was excellent with my dogs on most fronts with only a couple of issues. She went above and beyond when one of them got an ear infection- taking him to the vet, even had her mom drive him which was amazing, she was generally very communicative and meticulous with their care. She even washed them and cleaned up before leaving. The issue i had with her majorly was the lack of any walks in the first 4 days of care. That's too long of a duration to go without walks. This did seem like a consequence of extenuating circumstances for her so I wouldn't characterize that as her caregiver personality. I do however think having big dogs with no walk time for 4 consecutive days is unacceptable as a general rule. She was extremely apologetic and explained her situation to me. She was regular with walks after I reiterated that only yard time is not ok, she needs to walk them daily and not just give them yard time. She left my house very clean and even gave my dogs baths before leaving, a completely unexpected kindness. Despite the hiccups I think she is a very caring and meticulous dog sitter.

Ryan did an excellent job taking care of my little pup. He took the time to really understand what he needed from the initial meet and greet, took notes and demonstrated care and interest in my dog, and was always very communicative. While watching him, he provided daily pictures of him and my dog playing, along with progress reports and updates on how he was doing in general. Communication was always on point. Ryan’s care for my dog, Scotch, really helped me focus on my vacation knowing that Scotch was in really great hands.

Connor did a wonderful job caring for Freddie and Oliver! He followed all of my instructions closely, including administering medications, which really helped everything go smoothly. He recently started walking the boys, and this overnight stay helped them become even more comfortable and build a stronger bond with Connor. When I got home, they were happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. My condo was left clean and in great shape too. Overall, I’m so grateful for the care, attention, and kindness he showed Freddie and Oliver, and I wouldn’t hesitate to book Connor again

Nicole was the perfect houseguest and dog sitter for our time away from home! We got frequent updates and summaries of our pup, Maurice’s, behavior and care and our home was left truly spotless when we returned. It was our first time leaving Maurice with someone outside of close friends and family, and we couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. I would recommend her over and over again! Thank you so much, Nicole!

Patty was such a godsend as we had a last minute cancel from another sitter on a different site right before our vacation. Patty exceeded all our expectations. She was so easy to work with, competent, professional, and trustworthy right off the bat. I never worried once about our bulldog, Bo. and that is saying a lot as I am always worried about his well being! We came home to a happy dog and a tidy apartment which felt like a warm hug after a stressful day of travel. Would definitely rebook with Patty again!

Renee took such wonderful care of our dog Josie during a 2-week house sitting stay. Josie can be a little shy and anxious at first, but she really took to Renee and ended up being super affectionate, which made us so happy to see. Renee was incredibly patient and attentive, and really took the time to understand Josie and what makes her comfortable. She kept us updated consistently with messages, photos, and videos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. She also went above and beyond in so many ways, from taking Josie on long walks to even celebrating her birthday/gotcha day with a dog-friendly cake, which was such a thoughtful touch. It was clear Josie was not only well cared for, but genuinely loved while we were gone. We came home to a happy, relaxed pup and a well cared for home. We would absolutely book Renee again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will treat their pet like their own.
