“Geneva took wonderful care of my dog Zelee and was very attentive to her needs. I appreciated her sending me lots of photos, videos, and updates of Zelee during her stay with her! I would recommend her services and trust her to watch Zelee again in the future.”


“Aarti was amazing! Very knowledgeable and receptive. With her background in vet med, this eased my worries. She was attentive and loving to our two crazy, high energy, wack job Cattle Dogs. She made effort to expend energy safely going out at times when the NM heat wasn't too unbearable for them. She expressed love and concern for our dog's safety and happiness. She had an amazing idea to come to our home when we were getting ready to leave to assist our babies in their transition period. She sent cute pictures regularly and was phenomenal with her communication. I'm typically a super anxious worrywart but I found myself relaxing and enjoying my vacation because she put my mind at such ease. I will be booking her anytime we leave town! She's one in a million!”


“Brigit is the BEST. We have had her house sit with our dogs multiple times and we have been so grateful. She’s the sweetest person and i know she’s taking care of my dogs. We never have to worry when we are out of town. I got a ton of packages delivered while she stayed and she was amazing and made sure all of them were inside even though they were VERY heavy. We will continue to use Brigit anytime we need a dog/house sitter.”


“ABOVE AND BEYOND! I can't thank Rachel enough for how great she was! I had her check in on my cat while I was gone for a long weekend. Unfortunately, the key gate I gave her didn't work. I had just received a spare from the landlord the day before, and it was my fault for not checking to see if it worked. Anyways, Rachel was an absolute star and waited 30+ minutes before someone in my apartment was able to let her in. I feel absolutely awful she had to go through that, but she was so kind. She was super responsive and professional throughout the entire process, and took such great care of my cat. She sent great pictures, too! Would absolutely book her again.”

“Caitlin is awesome she is on time and very responsive to communication. She did a excellent job taking care of our older dog and also taking care of the house. We had a change in plans and she was able to accommodate the change no problem. Will definitely be using her in the future. If you want your animals taken care well book her.”


“Sara was completely comfortable with my doggos and kept them at ease while I was gone. She is a good communicator, very friendly, and was a pleasure to have stay at the house. Thank you!”


“Rachel is amazing! She's attentive, communicative and took such great care of our dogs while we were away. Her patience with Alfie helped us relax on our vacation knowing he was well taken care of. I will be booking Rachel again!”


“We're so appreciate and can't thank Skyler enough for watching our pups on short notice! The dogs and house were very well cared for, in great hands, and we'd highly recommend Skyler!”


“Thank you so much! Hossanna cared for our dog and cat while we were away for a week. We were so happy to receive photos and they were so well-cared-for!”


“My dogs loved spending time with Michael and even walked with him. They don’t usually walk with anyone but me or my kids. My dogs immediately warmed up to him and seemed very happy and content when I arrived home. I have already booked him again. I’m very happy with his services. He communicated well and did a great job.”


“Toli is seriously the BEST!!! She is very cognizant of our pup kiddos’ daily details to help them feel as comfortable as possible! She was extremely communicative, kind, and in tune with the pups! Highly recommend to anyone! Thanks Toli!”


“Dont really want to extole Laurie's work here because I want to keep her the best secret ever, but that wouldn't be fair. She's kind, smart, conscientious, flexible, my dogs LOVE her. She's great! The house was tidy and her communication was just right, not too much but enough to give me confidence that all was going well. I'm going to book her again any chance I get.”

McKinley pet parents share their Rover experiences
Talia cared for our home and our sweet Oliver for 10 days, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Knowing she was here gave us such peace of mind. We came home to a tidy house and a happy, well-loved Oliver. We’d gladly have her back anytime and hope she can be a regular part of our travels in the future.

Melanie was absolutely fantastic from start to finish! And I'm pretty sure I brought every challenge a pet sit can bring. I had to schedule last minute, I was leaving the country, and I have multiple dogs. She stayed overnight with them, and unfortunately we did have a scuffle between two of them on the second night that she handled masterfully. She got on the phone with me right away, sent me pictures, took great care of everyone, took the injured dog to my vet and followed up with great care of him until I could get home 2 days later. Her communication was excellent! The dogs were clearly well taken care of and in great spirits when I got home. This was my first experience using a Rover sitter and she exceeded my expectations by far! I feel incredibly lucky that Melanie was the sitter who got my crazy clan. She was kind and patient and wonderful about the entire experience.

Brigit was great! I had to go out of town for a quick weekend trip and had less time to prepare than usual. She was available for animal care with a quick response time. Professional, clean, and paid attention to detail. My babies were well taken care of and happy when I returned!

Rachel is hands-down the best house/pet sitter we've ever used. She watched our cat and home for 3 weeks and kept us appropriately updated and informed. She also thoughtfully readied the house for our return which was very appreciated! She will be our first choice for any future house/pet sitting needs.

This was the first time we used Rover and didn't know what to expect. Ethanee was fabulous and we highly recommend her!!! She warned us at first that she works (on the other side of town) and getting here during those days would be impossible until after work. We made arrangements with neighbor and family to come to let our aging pup out to pee during the day. I wanted to give her a try as she was the most positively response we received! Ethanee was so responsive to everything from the first contact, to our meet and greet and during her stay here. She sent photos and reports at least once every day, which was very re-assuring. I've already recommended her to a neighbor who might need a sitter someday. She took our dog on walks and played with him as much as he could do. (He's 14-1/2!).

It's really an we exercise in trust to leave one's home and hound with others, and we very quickly realized that we had nothing to worry about with Andrea here, taking care of both our dog and home. Marti the dog was really well-cared for, and Andrea made sure she got her plethora of daily supplements, in addition to lots of love and play. Outstanding service and we are very grateful.

Syanne did an amazing job taking care of our 3 fur babies. She was so patient with them and won them over easily. We were able to enjoy our trip knowing they were receiving great care. Syanne was always available and gave updates while we were away. We will definitely use her services again!

Sarah treated our pups like her own. She was able to manage our dogs’ medicine and one of our dogs’ physical therapy exercises. We got regular updates to make us feel assured the dogs were doing well. We came back from a long trip to happy and healthy pups! I would love to have Sarah watch the dogs again for our next trip, and would certainly recommend her to others!

Kristen was fantastic with watching our dog for a few days at our home. She is a true professional with attention to detail. She updated us regularly and sent pictures. She is kind, caring, and trustworthy. Great with our dog and followed his routine/instructions to a tee!
