1. Theron T.

“Super grateful to Theron and Alx for being able to help me out last minute. They are adorable and I felt very comfortable with them. My girl was happy when I returned and I will use again !”


2. Izzy Y.

“Izzy was wonderful with my pets and home! This was my first time leaving my pups for a couple days, and she couldn’t have taken better care of them. They got fed, they had walks, they had cuddles, they couldn’t have been happier. Izzy was great providing updates and pictures. There was even an issue with one of my dogs’ behavior and she handled it VERY professionally. I wouldn’t hesitate to use her services again in the future!”


3. Abigail W.

“Abigail was great watching my two giant breed dogs and house sitting while my family and I went on vacation. My dogs are very large and can be a handful at times. I have traditionally used a boarding facility, but i always worry about the dogs just being in a kennel for long hours. I tried Rover for the very first time, and Abigail was great. The house and the dogs were both exactly how we left them!”


4. Mackenzie M.

“Mackenzie is amazing. She stayed with our two dogs for the weekend while we were out of town. She was personable, kind, and reassuring while we were away. She always responded promptly to questions about how the dogs were doing and kept us updated with pictures through out the weekend. I will 100% be booking with her in the future!”


5. Jackson K.
“Jackson Kern has become part of our family. At least our dogs think so. He is always prompt and reliable. Very responsible in timing and accuracy when it comes to feeding and walking. I always feel comfortable leaving our pets to be looked after by Jackson Kern. I would recommend him for anyone’s needs.”


6. Asia C.

“This is the second time Asia has watched our dog for an extended period of time! She did a great job taking care of our dog and keeping an eye on our house! She’s on time and detailed in her communication! Thanks Asia!”


7. Catelyn R.

“Catelyn was INCREDIBLE. We decided to try Rover for the first time after our regular dog & cat sitter cancelled last minute on us during Christmas. Catelyn literally saved our holiday and peace of mind. I’m pretty paranoid and picky about who can watch my dog since he’s 125lbs. Catelyn excelled in her care for him and our two cats. Each visit she sent us tons of pictures (including action shots of play time) with detailed updates on each individual pet. You could tell the animals LOVED her and that she genuinely cared about them/ making them happy and comfortable. I honestly wish we found Catelyn sooner and would highly recommend her to anybody. She’ll definitely be our new go to animal sitter. I truly can’t say enough good things about Catelyn and her level of care. Thank you again for caring about Buck, Tulip, and Turnip as if they were your own!!!”


8. Megan N.

“Megan was absolutely great house sitting with my dog, Sally! She was very communicative and sent me lots of pics which I loved. Would definitely book her again 😊”

“Kelly was great! Kelly kept me updated with pictures and texts. It was a great experience! Kelly’s communication was very app my dogs also really enjoyed the experience. I will definitely book with Kelly again!”


10. Gabi S.

11. Julia B.

“Julia was great! She sent pictures of our animals as an update and was a huge help when we needed someone pretty last minute to watch our house.”


12. Keira S.

“Keira was amazing! I’m a nervous dog mom and hate leaving my baby. Keira made me feel at ease and communicated updates and photos of my dog. She truly cares about dogs and my GSD loved her instantly!”


13. Becky G.

“Becky did a wonderful job caring for my pet. She was very happy and relaxed when I returned home and my house was in great shape. I will definitely ask Becky to help me again with my pet when I leave town next.”


14. Barclay N.

“Barclay was most attentive & communicative. The kids seemed to have loved him & vice versa.He texted regularly which made us comfortable with their well being.”


15. Sarah C.

“Sarah was excellent!! She was a pleasure to plan with and a great communicator. She left the house clean and was resourceful when she needed to find things without my help. And of course she did a great job tending to and loving in our pups!! Would definitely book her again!!”


16. Kristin C.

“Kristin was a fabulous animal sitter. She fed all three of our cats and both of our dogs which all of them have different food that they eat. She let him out before and after their breakfast and before and after their dinner, she stayed with them overnight, so they wouldn’t miss us . I would recommend Kristin for any of your pet sitting needs.”
