“This was our first time using Rover and we weren’t sure what to expect, especially when requesting service on short notice. John came over for a meet and greet, and our dogs were comfortable with him within minutes! He has an easy going, calm and gentle demeanor, which I think we can all appreciate. John came over the next morning right on time and we knew he’d take good care of our babies and our home. He kept us updated along with photos. Thank you for everything, John!”

“Jay Lynne was great with our two very different cats. She catered to each of their personalities and made sure they were super well cared for. She provided us with frequent updates and was an amazing communicator. We really appreciate her and will definitely have her care for our babies again.”

“Kristin is the best! My dog loves her and I feel so comfortable when she’s watching him. I know he’s being well taken care of and I can just relax and enjoy my time away. Don’t hesitate to book her!”

“Emily did a great job watching our two pups. We recently had a baby and the dogs loved having individual attention and cuddle time with her while we were out of town. We came home to happy pups and a clean house. We would absolutely use Emily again.”

“Lydia did an incredible job caring for our dog, two cats, and home while we were out of the country for nearly three weeks. She kept everyone happy and healthy, stayed in great communication, and left the house clean. She’s caring, responsible, and completely trustworthy- we will definitely book her again!”

“Shelby sat at our home with our dogs. They warmed up quickly to her and we're very happy she sat for us. She left our home tidy, and we will book her again for sure in the future.”

“I can’t say enough wonderful things about Donovan and Hollyanne who took care of my dog over Thanksgiving! From the moment they arrived to take care of him, it was clear he was in loving and capable hands. They showered him with attention, took him on countless adventures, and made sure he felt right at home. Being my first time leaving him with new people, they made sure to provide me with so many pictures and updates on the fun they were having together! It was so reassuring to know that he was not just being “watched,” but genuinely cared for. I came back to a very happy, healthy puppy full of stories and pictures about his new favorite people and his adventures. If you’re looking for someone to treat your dog like family, Donovan and Hollyanne are absolutely the best! I highly recommend them!”

“Kai was a thoughtful and attentive dog sitter. Desi and Georges were happy little campers when we got home, not stressed and well take care of. I highly recommend Kai for your fur babies!”

“Maddy is the best with our dogs! She watched them while we were abroad for 10 days and gave us such peace of mind that they were well taken care of. We would recommend Maddy to anyone!”

“Tina is reliable, friendly, and really wants our dog Henry to be comfortable while we’re gone. It gives us peace of mind to know Henry is with someone we can trust and being able to leave him in his own home makes us being away less traumatic for him. We’ll definitely use Tina again.”

“We can't recommend Brittany enough! She took care of our home, three cats, and our dog Layla while we were away, and she was absolutely fantastic. From the start, she was communicative, responsible, and caring. She provided detailed daily updates with pictures and videos, which gave us so much peace of mind. One of our cats requires medication twice a day, and Layla also has her own medication routine, so we're not the easiest furry family to care for, but Brittany handled it all with such responsibility and care. On top of that, she went above and beyond by doing laundry and vacuuming, which we didn’t expect at all but truly appreciated! If you're looking for a trustworthy, attentive, and thoughtful house sitter, Brittany is the one. We would absolutely have her back in a heartbeat!”

“Teresa is officially my dog’s favorite dog sitter (mine too)! After a weekend family emergency came up, Teresa saved the day and quickly jumped in to help housesit. She was so patient and Ella instantly took to her. I received the best video of my dog hopping along on a walk, happy as ever - not missing me all that much. I was at ease knowing she was in such good hands and that Teresa was well versed in managing dogs with special needs. I highly recommend Teresa and we look forward to having her back in the future!”

“Erika was so wonderful with my 12 year old pup Penny! She was very professional, sent regular updates, and has a lot of animal care experience/knowledge. Highly recommend!”

“Allison is great! From the moment that I reached out to her to stay with Toby, she has been so professional and sweet. Toby warmed up to Allison pretty quickly and I could tell he was happy and well taken care of. I love that Allison sent me so many pictures of Toby while I was on my trip because I did miss him a lot! Toby and I would be happy to have Allison stay over again!”

Linda Vista pet parents share their Rover experiences
Jennifer was a fantastic house sitter and took great care of our dog! She asked great questions about her schedule and needs during a visit ahead of time. She also sent pictures and updates throughout the time she was at our home. Our dog was very well looked after. Jennifer very rarely left her alone, if at all. She is super clean. She took great care of our place. I would absolutely rebook with her and recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter.

First time Johnathan watched our girl, Bea, and it will definitely not be the last. Johnathan is super prompt and reliable, clear and friendly communication, incredibly neat and tidy, and best of all, Bea adored him. You can tell he's got a way with the felines 😻 😻 😻 and his care and concern for her well-being was awesome. Thanks so much, Johnathan - we appreciate it.

Owen was amazing and went above and beyond for my cats during his 6 day stay. He communicated well and I always felt like my pets were in great hands while I was on vacation. When I came home my place was amazingly clean and my pets seemed like they were so well taken care of and happy. I couldn’t be more happy and would recommend him for any kind of pet care.

Becca was an amazing house sitter and caretaker for my girl, Lucy! I had last-minute work travel and Becca quickly arranged a meet and greet to build rapport and figure out next steps. She had excellent communication throughout and I didn’t have to worry about Lucy while I was away - priceless. Highly recommend Becca!!!

We had an absolutely wonderful experience with Callahan watching our mini-dachshund, Leon. From the very start, she was incredibly communicative and thoughtful, keeping us updated with frequent messages and tons of pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind. Callahan took Leon on lots of walks and was clearly attentive to his needs and routine. Most importantly, she is extremely trustworthy and genuinely kind — we fully trusted her staying in our home, and she treated both our space and our dog with great care and respect. Leon warmed up to her incredibly fast, which is not a given with dachshunds, so that alone says a lot about her calm and caring presence. We felt completely comfortable having Callahan care for our dog, and it was clear Leon was happy and well cared for the entire time. We will absolutely be using Callahan regularly going forward and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, attentive, and wonderful dogsitter. 🐾

Hollyanne and Donovan are fantastic! They are super quick to respond, send tons of updates of my pup, and leave my house spotless. Absolutely everything you could ask for in a dog sitter. I know my dog is in great hands with them and will continue asking them to stay in the future!
Nate did a great job house sitting with our deaf senior dog when we were away for the weekend. He handles her very involved medical routine with total confidence, which made it easy for us to relax when away for the weekend. She clearly adores him, and Nate gives her tons of care, attention, and exercise. He’s also a great house sitter; leaving everything just as we left it. Reliable, easy to work with, and genuinely great with pets. Highly recommend.
