We couldn't have asked for a better cat sitter than Brie! She took care of our three cats: Sybi, Leo, and Cosmo, and gave them so much love and affection while we were on vacation. Each of them has their own quirks and medical needs, and Brie handled everything. She gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. We highly recommend Brie to anyone looking for a trustworthy, compassionate, and attentive sitter!

So grateful to have Jena! One of my pets is having some medical issues and needs extra care AND I have contractors working on my house while I'm traveling. This would be stressful for anyone, but with Jena taking care of my pets and my home, I felt so much better! She always keeps me posted on what's happening back home and is so considerate of my pets needs! For example, the water needed to be shut off for a day, so she filled extra containers in advance to be sure my pets would still have fresh water if they ran out. I absolutely can't thank her enough for all the big and little things that she does for me and my furry family.

Danielle and Travis do an amazing job of caring for our dog while we are away. They are extremely thorough in understanding what your pet's needs are before you leave and provide great updates while you're gone. We always look forward to the updates and can see from the photos and videos they send that our dog loves her time with them. They are amazing and we cannot recommend them enough!

We could not have asked for a better pet sitter for Walter while we were away. Megan went above and beyond during every drop-in visit to make Walter and us feel comfortable. She made sure he was fed and cared for and also gave him genuine attention, playtime, and affection. We received thoughtful updates and photos that gave us so much peace of mind on vacation. It was obvious how much she truly cares about animals, and Walter absolutely adored her. We will absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for exceptional pet care!

Erin was amazing with our dog! She was extremely responsive and helped us with any questions we had for her! She also was willing to go the extra mile and travel a bit farther than other potential sitters. I will definitely hire her again and recommend Erin to others in need of a doggo sitter.

About: I have owned pets my whole life. My two Bernese Mountain Dogs both recently passed and I would love to care for your pets as I get over their loss. If you are requesting house sitting M-F please be aware that I work full time days so it's basically just drop-ins and my house sitting does not include sleeping overnight at your home. I am not currently offering in-home pet care at my residence. Will update if this changes in the future. No pricing has been provided for this particular service.

I will definitely request Mira's help again - this was our first Rover experience, and she was a blessing. She went above and beyond by dropping by to meet Sam ahead of time so he wouldn't view her as an intruder. He's 90 pounds and we're still working on his puppy manners (like jumping and the occasional body slam), and she was competent and professional in taking him on. Mira dropped by twice as requested, took him for a walk, and sent plenty of photos so we could see he was having the best time with her. Highly recommend! Thank you, Mira!

About: I’ve always grown up with at least one dog in the house. my parents adopted a dog when I was 8 and I’ve helped take care of him ever since. I also had many neighbors who would often ask me to take care of their dog or cat while they were out of town. I had worked at a dog daycare/boarding facility for about 2 years. I currently work at Homegoods, about 32 hours a week. I am off wednsdays and weekends. I work 10-6 the other days, and am able to do mid day drop ins when needed. I follow what the pet wants to do. If they are full of energy, I will play with them or take them for a walk. If they want to lay around and be lazy, then that’s what we’ll do. If it’s just potty breaks, I’ll let them out for a good 10-20 minutes, if it’s nice enough outside. Along with some good scratches before I leave.

Cheryl was great! I contacted her when someone else was suppose to check in Charli and asked her very last min if she could run over and make sure everything was ok with her and take her out if needed. She was happy to do it. She let me know when she let her out and when she left. Would recommend her and hope to be able to have her take care of Charli again.

Megan was an absolute lifesaver! We completely forgot to book our regular dogsitter, only to find out she was on vacation in Florida. My wife was ready to make multiple trips back and forth from Des Moines while my son played and I coached at the state baseball tournament. A friend suggested trying the Rover app, and we were admittedly nervous at first. But during the meet-and-greet, our rescue dog went straight to Megan like they’d known each other forever. She handled everything perfectly for the entire long weekend. Her communication was excellent, and her attention to detail blew us away. She even brushed our pups and vacuumed the living room! A million stars from us—we may have just found our new go-to sitter!
