“Siobhan went above and beyond for my dog during her housesitting stay. Based on pictures, Oly (my dog) was 100% comfortable with Siobhan and enjoyed her companionship. During the stay, my dog became ill and Siobhan treated Oly like her own pet, taking time off work to care for her, purchasing OTC allergy medicine for her and taking Oly via Lyft to the emergency vet. Siobhan kept me apprised of my dogs health at all times. Even after I returned home, Siobhan continued to check in on Oly’s health. I will use Siobhan again and highly recommend her for anyone in need of a sitter.”

“Justin took good care of my fur babies & apartment while I was away. He even put clean bedding on my bed for my return. The pics he sent were terrific too. I will definitely hire him again.”

“Theresa has watched our dog twice and has been great!! She’s been very communicative and our dog loves her. She helped to administer meds and use a harness after our dog’s knee surgery. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a sitter!”

“Paula did a wonderful job looking after our cats in a home stay while we were on a long trip! This was our first time using Rover — our regular sitter couldn’t swing the entire time we were away — and we feel so lucky to find someone experienced, communicative, and thoughtful to step in while we were abroad. She gave regular updates, took great pics of our boys (who we missed so much!), and was all around lovely to work with. Thank you, Paula!”

“Yasmin was amazing! We had some last minute changes and she was so accommodating. Our senior dog was so happy and completely herself when we returned which hasn’t always been the case with dog sitters. We will definitely have Yasmin stay with Jozi again.”

“Lynn was amazing with our two dogs! Sent just the right amount of updates to keep us connected but not too many to distract from our vacation adventures! Our pups were looking for her after we left and our house was well cared for. We’d love to have Lynn house sit again in the future!”

“Brian took great care of our dog! Our nervous chihuahua is scared of strangers, and Brian paid very close attention to his reactions and body language, and put a lot of effort in to help him feel comfortable. He even took the time for an extra meet and greet with us before the sit, just to give our dog some extra time to acclimate to him, which was a big help. You can tell he is a true animal lover who does his best for all the dogs under his care.”

“We feel so lucky to have had Sofia stay at our home and care for our pets. She did a truly wonderful job. The animals were happy, relaxed, and clearly well loved, and we came home to a house that was spotless and beautifully cared for. She sent lots of photos and updates, which gave us such peace of mind while we were away, and her communication was always prompt, thoughtful, and kind. It made the whole experience completely stress-free. Sofia is responsible, trustworthy, and has a natural way with animals. We would hire her again in a heartbeat and recommend her without hesitation to anyone looking for exceptional pet and house care.”

“Pablo did a great job taking care of our dog and cat. He was very communicative and left our house in great shape and our fur babies happy. Highly recommend him!”

“Olivia was amazing our dog Lulu adores her, she was comforting Lulu during the storm, took her on walks, cuddled with her, Plus she watered all our plants, tidied up our house, stripped the bed and washed the sheets and towels. We have nothing but praise for Olivia!”

“This was the second time Myranda watched Clyde and it was great! She sent daily updates with pictures, gave Clyde a lot of attention (including a Christmas toy), and when my flight was delayed 5 hours was able to get an extra walk in and feed him dinner. I really appreciated Myranda's help and will definitely be booking with her again!”

“This is the second time we have used Zach for a long stay. He was communicative even while we were on our cruise, followed all of our instructions, dealt with medication twice a day for our bengal, entertained our three HIGH energy cats (two Bengals and an Abyssinian) all under the age of four. Left the house in immaculate condition by doing the laundry for bedding, sweeping the floors, taking the trash out, leaving the kitchen spotless. Just an outstanding and respectful person all around. Have already booked another stay. Truly the most relaxed I have been on vacation knowing he was there to look after everything.”

“Machele was FANTASTIC! Kept me updated on how my dog and cat were doing, sent lots of pictures, and asked all the questions that made me feel so comfortable leaving my fur-babies with her. 100% would re-book, and I know my cat and dog would love her again!”

“So appreciated Brandon's excellent care of our Frenchies, Honey and Rufus! They were happy and excited to have us home but pretty sure Rufus is still missing Brandon!”

“Emma did an excellent job with my difficult tortie. She was reliable, respectful, and communicative. She did a great job following my pretty strict instructions and I would definitely hire her again!”

“Sarah was PERFECT! Our dog can be very shy with new people and she moved at her pace and made her feel comfortable. Within a few hours they were best friends! She sent lots of pictures and communicated throughout the weekend. Additionally, Sarah went above and beyond to leave the apartment clean. You would have never known she was even there! We would absolutely book Sarah again and can’t thank her enough!”

“Cannot recommend highly enough. Stacey did a wonderful job taking care of our two Aussie shepherds that sometimes be a bit of a handful. Communication was great, and I came home to two happy, well cared for pups.”
“This was my first time working with Perla, and she cared for Tanuki for an extended three-week period while I was out of the country. She took the time to meet beforehand, get to know Tanuki, and ask thoughtful questions about his routine and needs, which immediately made me feel at ease. Tanuki is a big and a bit dramatic puppy and She was incredibly patient and understanding during the first week as Tanuki adjusted! she was always transparent and communicative about her schedule. she consistently shared updates, photos, and videos so I always knew how things were goin! Perla stayed at my place during this time, and I returned to a clean, well-maintained home. Most importantly, Tanuki was clearly comfortable and well cared for — his meals, walks, and routine were handled reliably throughout. I truly appreciated the level of care, communication, and responsibility she showed, and I would absolutely recommend her!”

Magnolia pet parents share their Rover experiences
We were away for 2weeks and really appreciate having Elena stay with our dog at our home. Elena sent us photos & videos of Fritz as we asked and she was respectful of our request of not leaving him alone for > 5 hours at any one time. She also left our home in a pristine condition when we came home. We’d highly recommend Elena to care for your fur babies if you can’t be with them.

Brandon and Ashley were wonderful! They house sat for us for 4 days, taking care of our older cat and young dog. We received plenty of photos, they were able to give pills to our pup as instructed, our pets seemed happy and well taken care of upon our return, and the house was in perfect condition. It was very lovely to return home at midnight to find clean sheets on the bed, an empty trash can, all of the cameras I keep in my office right where I left them, and of course, two happy babies. I’d hire them again in a heartbeat!

This is our second time booking with Pablo, and we will definitely use him again in the future. He takes incredible care of our dog and our home. He sent us tons of photos, and made sure to keep us updated. Our dog is very nervous, but she is so comfortable around Pablo.

Hanna did a wonderful job caring for our two dogs. She stayed in our home and left it in perfect condition. She was very communicative and also very accommodating to the needs of our senior dog who requires daily medication and is a fussy eater. I would recommend Hanna to anyone in need of a sitter for their fur babies.

Rachael was such a fabulous pick for us as first time Rover users! We felt comfortable leaving our geriatric chihuahua and younger, rambunctious brother so we could relax across the country. Pix super reassuring, house was immaculate when we returned, and just the right amount of communication.

Van was fantastic with our two dogs while we were on a short weekend trip. The dogs really seemed to like her. She provided ample photos of the activities while we were away. She was respectful of our home and super communicative. Definitely plan to use her again for future dog sitting needs!

This was the second time Lucinda took care of Pan. I know how comfortable pan was by how she followed her around and snuggled with her. On the last day, construction in the unit next door began which triggered pan’s severe anxiety brought on by noise. She was so kind and understanding, and did everything possible to try and put her at ease before having to leave.

Sarah was PERFECT! Our dog can be very shy with new people and she moved at her pace and made her feel comfortable. Within a few hours they were best friends! She sent lots of pictures and communicated throughout the weekend. Additionally, Sarah went above and beyond to leave the apartment clean. You would have never known she was even there! We would absolutely book Sarah again and can’t thank her enough!

We had the privilege of having Qunnie look after our bestest boy Barry (Golden Retriever) this weekend. This was our first time since moving to Washington leaving Barry in the care of someone else so Quinne kindly house sat so Barry had a familiar environment while we were away. Quinnie's professionalism and level of care was outstanding right from initial meet and greet through to arrival, lots of updates and photos during the stay and kindly letting us know when she was departing. Would absolutely recommend Quinnie as a sitter and look forward to using her services again to hang out with Barry in the near future :)
