AMAZING AMAZING AMAZING!! I’m so incredibly grateful for Allie! She made my sweet girl feel so comfortable while we were away for a weekend. Allie is so kind, experienced with dogs, and keeps you updated throughout the stay! She loved my dog like her own, and I feel so comfortable and confident leaving my Sopa in her care. I couldn’t recommend her enough!!! :)

Rebecca has taken care of our pups in our home twice now and we definitely will be booking again. She goes above and beyond to care for our dogs and we leave knowing the dogs will have a safe, fun, and adventurous time. Rebecca has also been very communicative and flexible, which we greatly appreciate. She’s an awesome sitter!

Claudine is simply the best! She went above and beyond to make sure we felt comfortable leaving our dog in her hands. Her warm energy was so appreciated and she provided us with tons of updates (and great photos). Our dog seemed very well taken care of, relaxed and happy when we returned. She was also a very good communicator, thoughtful, and left detailed notes about bathroom breaks and other behavior. We felt at ease having Claudine in our home, and will use her again in the future!

Annie was great with our two little pups and our senior cat. She was very tentative to their schedules and routines. Follows directions and requests as well. She was the first (of a few) that our older dog actually warmed up to, immediately. Communication was great, with updates constantly. We'll definitely have her house/pet sit again!

Jaclyn watched our 2 dogs and 2 cats for a 3 night pet sitting booking. Jaclyn took the time to understand each pet's needs and personalities, to then give them the best care and love in our absence. She kept in communication with daily summaries and pictures so we had peace of mind while we were away. Jaclyn she did laundry and remade the bed up knowing we were getting back home in the wee hours, a gesture that speaks to her character. Jaclyn is dependable and trustworthy and I highly recommend her for pet sitting!

About: I’ve had a dog and 3 cats growing up. I am constantly around dogs and they all love me. My friends and neighbors have trusted to watch their animals when they are away. I just graduated college and looking for a fun job for over the summer! I have lots of free time so I am available to help with your animals whenever you need! I have one cat at home but he’s not the biggest fan of new animals. I love playing with animals and making sure they use most of the energy.

Linda is absolutely fabulous! She house sat for my two dogs, one of whom has special needs and requires medication. She kept me updated and send pictures throughout the stay. I was able to truly relax and enjoy my time away knowing they were well taken care of and happy! She was also very respectful while in my home, keeping it clean, watering the plants, and even changing the sheets. I would highly recommend booking Linda as your pet sitter. I plan to continue to utilize her services. However the review that truly matters is your dog’s opinion. When they go crazy with tail wags and kisses for your sitter, like they did for Linda, that’s a really good person!

About: Since I can remember I have always been around dogs and cats in my life, mostly rescues, who needed training and caring for. I currently pet sit for my family when they are away, and walk dogs for family friends. When I was a professional cleaner I encountered all breeds and ages of cats and dogs every single day so I am very comfortable around all types of pets. I especially love and have experience with pitty breeds as well as experience with some reactive cats and know what to do to gain their trust. When not taking care or animals, I am a freelance dancer and choreographer! I take dance class some evenings and may have a weekend show or rehearsals. Other than that, I am readily available especially during the morning, afternoons, and later in the evenings/overnight for your furry friends! Before we officially book, I will make sure we have a meet and greet so that your pet can get to know me as we talk about all your needs for my visit! Along with any of your pet's special needs, I will ask you to leave me with any emergency contact information just in case anything were to happen, as well as my personal contact info. I also will send you updates for your peace of mind as well as some adorable pictures of your pet(s)!

We cannot express enough how grateful we are for Shannon! My husband and I have 4 dogs and were fearful this would deter someone from wanting to take on that number. Shannon did not hestitate to answer the call and put us immediately at ease. Shannon came over on her own time to do a meet and greet and she was / is wonderful! She welcomed each dog with open arms and the dogs were overcome with joy that someone new loved them as much as they loved her. I highly recommend Shannon with no reservations. She is kind, inquisitive, patient and communicative. She sent frequent photos and updates which we were most thankful for. We would ask her to watch our dogs again, no questions asked. Thank you Shannon!!

Andrea is amazing!!! She has dog sat for our puppies multiple times and is so great. They love her and she gives us such a peace of mind when we travel. She will send you updates on how your dog(s) are doing and pictures too if you want them. This last time she pet sat, she she put our garage lights on for us so when we came home at night we wouldn’t be completely in the dark and set the pups up with their peanut butter bones and a light for them too. She is awesome and we will definitely use her again! Highly recommend!!

About: I've been blessed to grow up with a pet best friend my entire life whether from dogs & cats to hamsters, guinea pigs, and parakeets. My wife and I will treat your pet as it is our own! My wife works remotely from home and I am a PhD student with a flexible schedule and weekend availability. Our schedules allow for frequent walks, bathroom breaks, play time, and lots of attention. We also have a rescued 1yr old goldendoodle who is neutered and loves other dogs. Your pet will never feel alone! While safety is our top priority, your pet's happiness and care is just as important. We live in a 3-story townhouse with an unfenced yard but live across the street from a park where we take our dog on daily walks. There also a few nearby dog parks if you prefer for your dog to run off-leash. Your pet will have full range to our entire home and we will make sure they feel right at home!

Once again, Allie has done an incredible job watching our pups. She took such good care of our dogs and our home while we were out of the country for 10 days. She's the absolute best sitter and is so communicative and thoughtful. And most importantly, our dogs love her! Allie went above and beyond, and we will absolutely reach out to her again. This was our second time having Allie watch the pups, and it won’t be the last!

This was our first booking with Rover and we can't say enough about how well-cared for our dog was. Claudine's communication was exceptional. She went above and beyond to try and manage some issues our pup has been having with paw-licking. It was clear that she was thoughtful and careful about her resposibilities with Patron and we would hire her again in a heartbeat.

Shaylah was a lifesaver!!! My original dogsitter canceled less than 24 hours before we left for a long weekend and Shaylah answered the call to take care of the pups! She replied to my urgent plea within 5 minutes and changed her evening plans to drive to us that night to meet the dogs and get a tour if the house and all our specific needs. We have an elder dog that has to wear diapers and we make all the dog food and she needed beds as well. No problem for Shaylah!!! By the next morning we were on a plane and the dogs were so well cared for! Lots of pictures and updates which made me feel so much better, really can't say enough about her! She is a gem!!!!

Our dog was injured three days before a trip, and our regular kennel couldn’t accommodate the special care needed. We turned to Rover at the last minute and were lucky to find Tucker. Tucker responded right away and came by for a home visit the very next day, immediately putting us at ease. Tucker has a natural connection with animals and provided exceptional care for our two dogs and three cats. One of our dogs required medication and needed to stay calm to avoid further injury—Tucker handled everything perfectly. We received regular photo updates, and the house was left spotless. We were initially skeptical about using Rover, but after this experience, we now prefer it over traditional kennels. Highly recommend Tucker!
