Katherine came for 10 days to house sit with our dog and cat. Our flight was delayed and she came back to the house to take care of the animals for us. When we arrived home the animals were well cared for and happy to see us. Everything was perfect. I just can't thank her enough.

Laura was exceptional. Made herself available on short notice and extended her coverage when we needed her more days than initially requested and on a holiday weekend. Did a fabulous job with our dogs and our home. Very trust worthy and dependable. Can't thank her enough. The dogs loved her!

Brandon did a great job with my big teenager rescue dog, who is super sweet but still working on some aspects of being on leash. I appreciated how communicative, clean, and non-invasive Brandon was in the whole process. I’m thankful that Rover connected us!

I had a great experience leaving my pups with Aimee. She was very open to meeting them ahead of time so they (and I) would be comfortable before the longer stay and that made such a difference to my more nervous pup. Communication was excellent throughout, and I came home to a spotless house and two happy, well cared for dogs. She took them on walks, even though I said she didn’t need to and gave my fluffy boy an extra brushing. She’ll be my first choice for a sitting going forward and I will happily recommend her to friends.

Kiah was awesome !! This was her first time taking care of Diesel and she did an amazing job. It was extra cold while I was away (-10, - 12 degrees) and Kiah made sure that Diesel was walked and taken care of and that everything was in order at my house. She is kind and respectful and she got along well with him. I will definitely use her again. Thanks Kiah !!

We are so thankful to have found Connie! This was our first experience hiring a house/cat sitter who would stay in our home during an extended trip so we were completely new to the process. From our first meeting with Connie, we knew she would be a great fit. She took such good care of our kitties and sent updates letting us know how they were doing. It gave us peace of mind knowing that she was there spending time with them while we were away. When returned, they were so much happier than they have been after returning from past trips. Such a good experience!

Kiah was exceptional! From the moment we met her, we knew we could trust leaving our dogs in her care. Her communication was excellent—she sent regular updates, reached out right away if anything came up, and shared adorable photos that showed just how happy and well-loved our pups were while we were gone. She even helped with our coral reef tank—something that can be intimidating for many—but she took it on confidently and did a fantastic job. It’s clear she genuinely loves what she does! We came home to two relaxed, well-cared-for dogs, all of our fish thriving, and (to our pleasant surprise!) a spotless, tidy house. Our hearts absolutely melted when we discovered the beautiful professional photos she took of our dogs and our clownfish. Kiah truly went above and beyond, making sure our pups were comfortable every step of the way. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. We would recommend Kiah without hesitation and will absolutely book with her again. Thank you, Kiah!!

Bresha was so good with our kitty! She kept in close touch with updates and photos. It was nice knowing she could spend a lot of time with kitty even though our cat is pretty independent.., but you never know when she will suddenly get cuddly and want a person near. Felt totally at ease leaving our house and cat in Bresha’s care. Thanks so much!!

Sarah was great - clear, prompt communication and frequent photos. She has calm, responsible energy and my dog loved her. House was spotless when I got back after 4 days. Most importantly, my giant baby of a dog was happy and relaxed. It’s always great to come home to a dog that doesn’t seem to have noticed that I was gone!

Both our cat and dog take oral medication, and Kendall handled it with ease. She treated our house with respect and even went above and beyond with cleaning up after herself. Kendall offered peace of mind while we were on our vacation and I can't wait to work with her again in the future!
