“Liz watched my 2 girls over Thanksgiving break and was absolutely fantastic! Great communication, pictures a few times a day and the pups LOVED her! She stayed at our place while we were gone and left the house impeccably clean. Cannot say enough great things, if I could give her ten stars I would!”


2. Jenniffer P.

“Jennifer stayed with my dog Sadie for 5 days. Sadie is 7 months old, picky, loves to destroy things and runs away the second she gets a chance. Jennifer not only stayed with Sadie and walked her, she sent me videos and pictures for updates and gave me pointers that were very helpful. I don’t even have to worry about Sadie not being taken care of because Jennifer was so amazing and put all my fears to rest. I don’t think I could have found anyone better honestly!! I’m planning my next trip just cause I know my Sadie will be in good hands.”

“Bridget was terrific with my senior dog! I hired her for house sitting betw 8:30 and 7 in my house. I received pictures throughout the day, and she coordinated with me when she had to leave for a few hours. Thanks Bridget!!!”

5. Mia F.


“Mia went above & beyond for our fur babies! We are extremely thankful to have found her through Rover. Having a lab herself, Mia has so much experience with high energy dogs and took our chocolate lab, Scout, to the park multiple times throughout her stay here in our home. She sent constant updates and sooo many photos/vids of both Scout and our cat, Frodo. Both of them were getting alllll the love from her! 💕 She was extremely responsive and easy to work with!!! We will definitely be hiring Mia again in the future & absolutely recommend for anyone looking for a sitter! Thanks so much again Mia 🥰🐾🤗”


6. Rachel S.
“Rachel has been taking care of my 2 y/o schnauzer since he was a puppy and he loves her! Rachel is very reliable and is great with my dog Ollie”


7. Katalina S.

“Amazing and attentive care. My dog was well taken care of and the communication was great. I would recommend for your dog sitting needs.”


8. Kimberly S.

“Kimberly was wonderful and such a great help at the last minute! She gave great updates and photos of my puppers day. Would highly recommend and look forward to using her again!”


9. Nicholas A.

“Excellent communicator. Extremely reliable. So very good with my dogs, they love him!! Will continue to hire when we go away! Thank you so much!!!”


10. Kevin R.
“I have gotten to know Kevin over the past month and trust that he would treat any animal as his own. Kevin has owned dogs his whole life but has always gone the extra mile to ensure his pets are treated as family. Kevin is a kindhearted individual who understands the responsibility that comes with raising and caring for animals. Being able to work with Rover will allow him to continue to channel his passion for animals and aid his career growth in the industry of animal caretaking.”


11. James C.
“James is an incredible dog lover and has always been responsible and dependable when it comes to caring for animals. He’s helped me with my own dogs many times, always following instructions carefully and ensuring they’re safe and happy. I know any dog he walks or is taking care of, will be in great hands because he treats every pet with the same care and attention he would his own.”


12. Vinnie D.

“Vinnie stayed at our place and watched over our dog + 2 cats. He is wonderful! He provided regular updates, gave our dog plenty of exercise + daily medication, and took great care with our apartment. He also went out of his way a day early just to pickup keys since we didn't have a spare set to give him at the meet and greet. He's very trustworthy and we highly recommend him!”


13. Tatiana S.

“Tatiana was AMAZING!!! our puppy Willow has a pretty bad separation anxiety, but with Tatiana she may have forgot all about us. Constant text/pictures/updates made us feel so comfortable, as well as amazing communication throughout the sitting. 10 out of 10!! Couldn't be happier.”


14. Laurence M.
“Laurence has taken care of my dog, Peeky, both in the short term ( looking after her part of the day ) and long term ( caring for her when I've had to go out of town for a week or more ) She does more than just take care of my little fluffball; she treats Peeky as if she's been part of their family the entire time. Peeky, who usually suffers from separation anxiety, never experiences it with Laurence. She has a beautiful and tender heart, connecting with and loving animals in such a way that it's like I never left. Laurence would send me photos and updates of them going for walks, spending time together, and just having the best time. When I returned home, Peeky was always happy, healthy, and acted like nothing had changed, which was not my experience with any other specialist who had cared for her. I can't recommend Laurence highly enough; there's nobody else I would trust.”


15. Thomas K.
“Tom is an amazing man! He's had pets for as long as I've known him (almost 30 years!) very caring and attentive to animals needs. He's even taken care of my pets as if they were his own. I can guarantee that your pets are in Tom's gentle and caring hands as long as he is walking or watching them.”


16. Shannon S.
“Shannon watched my dog, 2 cats, and chickens while I was out of town for a week. She took excellent care of all of my animals and regularly sent pictures which was appreciated. She has also taken my dog for several walks/hikes. I highly recommend Shannon for all pet care and will be hiring her again in the future.”


17. Kelsey L.
“Kelsey is a very responsible, communicative, and loving pet sitter! She has watched my older, somewhat needy dog for months at a time, and even for short weekend, and she is always my go-to pet sitter. She always texts me pics and videos of my pup, updates me on how he’s doing, and gives him lots of love while I’m away. She treats him like he’s her own pup:) I truly recommend Kelsey and you won’t be disappointed with her pet sitting services!”


18. Julie C.
“I wanted to share my experience with Rover.com as it was a wonderful experience with Julie! Like most pet owners, one always gets anxious when they have to go away and can't bring their pet. I've never encountered this problem in the past as my parents would often watch my dog when I went away, but as it turned out, they were going away at the same time and so, I had to come up with a solution. Even though I had many friends nearby, they had their own busy schedules, some with younger children, some with pets, others with no pets because of allergies and so, I really didn't want to burden any of them in anyway when kennels are made for such occasions. It was only for 3 days (Friday thru Sunday), but I honestly never left an animal at a kennel as I've read some bad experiences by people in the past, varying from neglect to catching things from other dogs and so on, and on top of that, my crazy girl (a red fawn jindo, not an easy breed, but mine is very well trained) liked to run around the yard, play and loved to be one on one with people so, I really needed someone who connected with dogs that way. Heard of Julie through a friend and so we arranged to meet at her place and to see if they connected. My dog sniffed around, had all the signs of looking comfortable and at ease, met Julie and immediately sniffed her hand, started wagging her tail and stayed close to her with tail wagging and ears up. Very good signs and I think it was on the 3rd or 4th, checking out the yard and back to us, she lied down in front of Julie and offered up her belly so, that's really good as you know as a sign of feeling safe. Left a few of her favorite toys, dog bed, leash and harness, along with a few treats and food for those days I would be gone. When I came back to get her on Sunday night, she was happy to see me (jump, hugs, licks, wiggle waggles), but then grabbed her toy and did that, "This is is my space" thing, getting in her bed and looking like she wanted to stay another night or two, lol. Btw, this was earlier this year and before she got connected with Rover.com, but this looks like a really great concept and so, with that, if you are looking for a person to dog sit for you, I highly recommend Julie!”
