1. Mahlet B.

“I truly can’t say enough nice things about Mahlet and the care she gave my kitten! We had a trip planned for 8 nights away and leading up to the trip I was nervous as this was my first Rover experience. Meeting Mahlet immediately put me at ease! During the trip she sent multiple photo and video updates throughout the day and it was so clear from all of them that my kitten adored her! He is literally smiling in every photo cuddled up against her! He is on a daily probiotic powder which he ran out of during his stay with her so she went out and picked some up (without us needing to ask) so there would be no lapse in his daily probiotics. It is so clear that she loves cats and is very knowledgeable about them. On top of all of the great care she provided to my cat, she also left my apartment spotless! I feel very fortunate I was able to have her as a sitter for my cat! My kitten definitely misses her and we will absolutely be booking her again!”


2. Heather J.

“Heather is so sweet with Henri and he loved getting all the snuggles and walks. She is also very patient with him while he gets the hang of potty training.”


3. Caroline G.

“Caroline was exceptional. She took wonderful care of my senior dog that required daily medication. I received tons of pictures and videos and most importantly, she developed a very sweet relationship with my dog. I would book her again in a heartbeat.”


4. Aaron G.

“Aaron is a gem. He was so caring for my boy Krunk. He has a heart and passion for furbabies. Thank you for being such a wonderful soul. Tricia 😉”


5. Schirn J.

“Schirn did a wonderful job watching my puppy while I was overseas on vacation. She sent updates and photos every day, and kept her occupied with lots of activity and play. I will (hopefully) work with her again the next time we take a vacation. Thank you!!”


6. Crystal M.


“Could not ask for a better sitter for my Rori girl. Crystal gave me updates every day and was very communicative. She definitely helped ease my anxiety whenever I’m away from my Rori pup. Thank you again for watching over my baby girl!!”


7. Michele L.
“Michele has been an incredible sitter for two dogs this year. I’ve visited her during those times and the dogs loves her. You can immediately tell that takes good care of them. She also had the chance to take care of her own family dog with so much love and dedication. She’s reliable, attentive, and treats every pet like family. I trust her completely with my dogs and highly recommend her!”


8. Anna M.

“We felt very comfortable that our beloved dog was well cared for and safe while we were out of the country! We got daily updates about his well being with pictures. Will not hesitate to rebook in the future.”


9. Madison O.

“Madison is easily the best dog sitter we’ve ever had. She not only followed the instructions we left perfectly, but went above and beyond to provide our pups with the absolute best care. We were given plenty of updates which included adorable pictures. Both of our dogs are seniors, and Madison was very patient and attentive with their needs. Madison is so kind and thoughtful, we will definitely be reaching out to her again when we need another dog sitter.”


10. Leslie M.

“Thanks so much for watching our puppy so that we can have a worry free date night. Odey had a great time and thanks you for all the special attention you gave him”




11. Alice C.


“Alice is heaven sent and a life saver! We needed someone to take care of our babies while we were away for the holidays, and I am so thankful we found Alice. She cares so much for the pups, she sends frequent updates, and she left the house spotless. I will absolutely book her again to care for my babies!”


12. Enmanuel P.

“We recently booked Manny for 7 nights to take care of our sometimes picky-eater chihuahua. We arrived home from our vacation to a spotless apartment and a very happy doggie! He sent some cute photos while we were gone — our little Ziggy clearly feels comfortable with him and it gave us peace of mind to know he was caring for her. Manny communicates clearly with us, shows up and departs on time and is an overall pleasure to work with. Will certainly book again!”


13. Bryan m.

“Bryan was very patient and understanding with my large anxious dog. We worked together to get her to be comfortable with him and I had the utmost confidence in leaving her with him for two weeks. By the end they were best friends. Vacation saved! Thanks Bryan!”


14. Maddieson D.

“Maddie is wonderful. I can't say enough! Professional, reliable and I didn't worry at all about Sally, our 14-year old bulldog, who fell in love with Maddie right off the bat!”


15. Julia G.

“She was professional and sweet with my pup. Would hire again.”


16. Yelim K.

“Yelim was great at taking care of Nano. She was responsive, punctual, and professional. She provided updates on how Nano was doing and sent me photos. I definitely recommend her!”


17. Mark C.

“Mark was great with our black lab puppy. Sent picture updates and made us feel at ease that he was in good hands. Would definitely recommend!”


18. Kerri Anne B.

“Kerri Anne always does an incredible job taking care of our two dogs. She’s great at giving daily updates while we are away and leaves the place spotless! Thanks so much, Kerri Anne!”


19. Brittany L.

“Brittany was amazing! She made me feel so comfortable knowing my girl was in good hands while I was traveling. And she even left my home cleaner than I left it!! Thank you so much!”


20. Linda L.

“Linda did a great job caring for my senior pet! She went above and beyond to make sure she understood his needs and he was so comfortable with her. She sent detailed updates and pictures and stayed in constant contact so that I didn’t have to wonder how my dog was doing. My dog warmed up to her immediately and I am so happy to find someone like Linda to care for him. I’ve already booked her again!”
