“Erin was great! She was incredibly responsive and made me feel at ease while I was away. I loved getting daily updates and pictures. She clearly took great care of my pet and treated them like her own. I would highly recommend Erin to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter. I’ll definitely be using her services again!”


“We feel so fortunate to have found Naji. Our regular sitter had a family emergency and we needed a sitter for two weeks. I was a little apprehensive to leave our dog with someone I didn’t know and Naji was new to Rover. Anyway I can tell you that she has two very friendly female dogs and Bentley had the time of his life. She sent videos every single day and I could see how well it was going. I highly recommend her!!”

“Rachel was amazing! She was very communicative and was graciously flexible with my travel schedule. The dogs loved her and had an amazing time! Will definitely use her again in the future. No concerns whatsoever.”


“I was so happy with Lauri’s care! I could tell from the pics she sent during my trip that Chocco was happy and relaxed. I highly recommend her and I will definitely book with her again!”


“I have a 12 year old maltipoo and a 4 year old long hair chihuahua.Derrika is a blessing for me because she treats you fur baby like he is her own. She is very loving, caring and patient. I would recommend her to anyone.”


“Taylor was great! She was very responsive and did such a great job taking care of Harold! She was very flexible with her drop off and pick up schedule, which was very much appreciated. I would definitely have her watch my dog again.”

“Audra is fantastic! She’s very communicative and sends plenty of photos. She took excellent care of my Daisy. After meeting with five dog sitters, I knew Audra and Jelly Bean were the perfect match for her. I felt completely at ease leaving Daisy for a week, knowing she was in great hands. I highly recommend Audra!”



“First time using Rover and Susan and her family were awesome! Made my English Bulldog part of the family and took special precautions during high heat. Great pics that showed Fiona was doing all of her favorite things. Thanks!”


“Cassie was amazing!! She was great with our high energy and anxious pup! She took our doggie on lots of walks, played with her, and made her feel safe in a new space. Cassie also sent pictures which made me feel a lot better about leaving our dog with a sitter for the first time. Thank you for taking care of our pup! Would 10/10 recommend to anyone!!”


“I found Kristina after my originally booked sitter cancelled on me last second, and she was beyond flexible in helping make sure my dogs were taken care of while I was out of town. I had to drop off and pick up at odd hours due to my trip and she was very willing to accommodate me. When we arrived, my dogs were instantly at ease and eager to play, which made me feel very comfortable. Kristina checked in with me in pertinent details of my dogs' care and made sure to keep with their feeding and bedtime routines, including administering daily medicine to my senior pup. When I came back at the end of their 3 night stay, they were very happy and slept the whole ride home, which means they got plenty of playtime there! Kristina sent me pics with updates everyday amd answered my messages right away. I'm really happy with her service and will use her again in the future. Thank you, Kristina!”


“Patricia was a very flexible working with me and took great care of my puppy! Her communication was awesome and her calm demeanor was really welcoming. My dog has anxiety and I know that she had a lovely time with Patricia! Thank you!”


“We really appreciated James watching our dog for a night as we were passing through. James was very responsive to messages and even provided updates during the short stay. He was also very accommodating to different drop off and pickup times. Our dog was well taken care of and we will definitely look to use James again if we are in the area.”


“Kaylie was fantastic with our King Charles. He has a little anxiety and she won him over within two minutes of meeting him. She was very easy to work with. Great communication. We were visiting Kansas City and needed a dog sitter. I highly recommend Kaylie, and will use her again if we are in the area!”


“Rachel is great! Aggie stayed with Rachel for 6 nights and came home happy and calm. I appreciated all the photos, it looked like Aggie settled in with the other dogs and had a great schedule of walks, cuddles and play time.”


“Adriana was phenomenal with our pup! She did some training with him, sent tons of videos, and has such a nice backyard perfect for playing. She was flexible, incredibly kind, and we felt very safe having our dog stay there. Will definitely use her again!”


“Bryan took very good care of my dog while I was out of town. He worked with him on behavioral issues and sent me lots of photos and videos. Will definitely rebook with him!”
