“Alicia was great! Very responsive and timely. Took excellent care of our elderly dog, sent daily updates with pictures, and left the house in great condition! We were very pleased!”
“Jennifer and co were absolutely fantastic! I had a last minute request because my cat injured himself and needed extra care. Jennifer stayed with him, gave meds, and updated me with any changes. My other cat was also well loved and taken care of! I received many video and photo updates every night and I knew my babies were in good hands!!! I will definitely book again!”
“Lauryn stayed at our house for ten days and took fantastic care of our two older dogs with multiple medication needs. She sent great photos that made us confident the dogs were well loved and the house looked amazing when we got back.”
“Kat was great! I was in a last minute crunch to find a sitter and she came through eager and experienced! 🙌🏽 The meet and greet went well and she handled my big 97lb baby beautifully. Plenty of updates and the house was clean upon return. Would definitely recommend. Thanks Kat!”
“Alex was absolutely amazing! I think we have found a dog sitter for life. He took amazing care of our baby and sent us several pics throughout his stay. He left our house cleaner than he found it. Highly recommend!”
“Lauren is an amazing dog sitter that obviously cares about every dog she has. She was very loving, attentive, and perfect with my dog. Lots of pictures which I loved and lots of communication. Left my house clean and no hiccups!”
“This was our first time working with Cara and we are so grateful to have had her assistance while we were away for a week. She stayed at our home with our 2 cats and she did a stellar job. She has a calming presence, is a great communicator, prompt. and follows directions well. She bonded with both cats, which was a huge relief for our family. We felt a level of calm knowing our fur babies were being well cared for. Thanks Cara!”
“Ashley was amazing! It was a little rough for her and Cooper in the beginning but they both worked through Cooper's issues.I got updates several times a day which I loved. She made sure that Cooper felt safe which was my biggest priority and when she left I think my house was a little cleaner than when I left for vacation. I would definitely recommend Ashley and will be calling her again in the future.!!!”
“Perri took excellent care of our 3 pups during a 5 day vacation. We received many photos, videos and updates throughout the stay and we were able to enjoy ourselves to the fullest knowing the pups were getting care, exercise and love while we were away. If Perri can handle our 3 dogs, no job is too big for her!”
“Jeena did a great job dog sitting for us, especially given somewhat late notice and significant snow and ice during our booking. It was our first time using a dog sitter, and we will definitely use her again in the future.”
“Thank you to Max for taking such great care of our home and 4 fur babies (2 cats, 2 dogs) while we were away for a long weekend! He was very responsible and communicative before, during, and after his stay. Our household situation is a little complicated because some of our animals don’t get along and need to remain separated, but he handled it extremely well. I felt that he asked all the right questions that demonstrated his past animal and house sitting experience and his attention to detail. We would absolutely work with Max again!”
“Allison was amazing. Willing to meet before we left town, sent us a picture every day, was flexible when we needed her to come earlier than originally planned, and left our house cleaner than she found it! We will definitely use her services again in the future.”
“We had an amazing experience with Jenna! She was communicative throughout the stay, sending updates that really put us at ease. The dogs seemed happy, relaxed and well-loved! It is clear Jenna loves dogs and took care of ours like they were her own! She also house-sat for us and left everything spotless. We came home to a vacuumed, clean house and couldn’t have been happier. We’re so grateful for the care she showed our pups and our home. We’ll definitely be booking with her again in the future! Highly recommend.”
“Rebecca was wonderful with my two super-sized dogs. Great communication and photos, very patient with their demands to cuddle with her (which is no easy feat when there is 300lbs of dogs sharing your bed) and understood the challenges (and sometimes unexpected behavior) that rescue dogs have as baggage. Thank you, thank you, thank you!”
“Porter is EXCEPTIONAL! Pebbles ADORES him! I read on here that he was very dependable (which was the biggest thing I was looking for). My experience with him was that he’s very dependable, he’s very dedicated to my pet’s care and safety, he kept my home clean, and I came home to a very happy pet. I could tell she had so much fun with him! I could not have asked for a more positive experience. Thank you, Porter!”
“Devon did a great job taking care of my two young cavapoos for 2 weeks in my home. She handled their complex diets well and was willing to co-ordinate visits/walks from family and friends during my absence. She also responded to all of my queries about how the pups were doing as this was my first long vacation without the dogs. She was all very accommodating about their daily schedule as well as any issues with the house and snow storm!”
Marlborough pet parents share their Rover experiences
Corinne took such great care of our senior dog during our week away. It was our first time leaving him with someone other than family, so we were definitely nervous, but she made the whole experience so much easier. She sent us pictures and updates throughout the stay, which gave us so much peace of mind. We could tell he was well cared for and comfortable at home while we were gone. We’d absolutely trust Corinne to watch him again!
Katie watched our dogs while we were away and was fantastic! We have two pups, and both can be a little slow to warm up. Within 5 minutes of meeting Katie they were following her around asking for pets. She sent consistent updates and was very quick to respond to messages. Our house was even cleaner than when we left. Would book again without any hesitation!
Sam and Chris were amazing! I received multiple updates throughout the day along with cute videos. This was their first time watching my fur kids, and I was out of town with little cell service. I fully trusted them to take great care of the animals and our home. The house was immaculate when I got home, and the babies were as happy as could be!
After meeting Jennifer and Sharon, I felt very confident in leaving my babies in their care. I have a terminally ill cat and didn't want to leave her with just a person looking in twice a day so felt a live-in pet sitter was the way to go. I was not disappointed. They took great care of both of my fur babies and I would gladly book them again. I did not worry about my kitties while I was gone because I knew they were in great hands.
Natalee was awesome. She was detail oriented and clearly loves dogs a lot. She was very intentional about the way she met and interacted with our dog, and followed our requests perfectly. Our dog took to her very quickly and seemed to have a great time with her.
Lauren is AMAZING! What was supposed to be a very straightforward dog/house sitting job became a lot more complicated when one dog had a bite/ER visit the night before Lauren's arrival, which required much more in depth care. Lauren was so kind and chill about the whole thing. She took AMAZING care of our dogs and even washed the dishes and cleaned up the house before she left. And she was so great about providing updates and photos. Truly 10/10 will be using Lauren again!!
