1. Michelle G.

“Michelle went above and beyond with her care of Paisley and with staying at my house. She gave me daily updates which made my trip away enjoyable knowing that Paisley was well taken care of and happy.”


2. Angela M.

“Angela is perfection! Not only was my house cleaner than I left it when we returned after a week, but she kept us connected with our pups’ goings on throughout our time away. We are so thankful that our babies were in the great care of Angela and it enabled us to have a stress free time away :) thank you!”


3. Mary-Kate H.

“Mary-Kate is a kind and professional sitter. She was eager to learn about our ducks and took great care with them and our dog. We’d definitely book her again!”


4. Joe P.

“It was so great to have Joe as a sitter for our pups while we were out of town. He understood that the dogs were not use to being alone over night and was very flexible. We hope to have Joe back in the very near future!”


5. Kim B.

“Kim is the best! She house sits our dog and cat and she’s so caring and always sends updates. She always make sure to bring in packages and really go the extra mile. Would definitely recommend. Our animals love her.”


6. Sydney W.

“Sydney was amazing! She house sat for us while also taking care of our mini Aussie. She kept us updated everyday with pictures and reached out with any questions to make sure everything was perfect for our pup. I highly recommend her to anyone who needs someone to take good care of their pets and home.”


7. Emily P.
“Our cat can be a bit picky about who she likes. It normally takes meeting someone multiple times for her to come over and say hi. But with Emily, our cat felt safe with her the very first time they met. I trust Emily instinctively to care for my cat when I need to be away for an extended period of time- including checking in and spending quality time with her, doing all the cat maintenance items, and Emily has even stayed overnight at my apartment when I was away. I feel extremely safe and respected with Emily in my home and know that my little fluff ball is well cared for.”


8. Veronica M.
“Veronica is a kind, responsible, and attentive pet caregiver who provides a safe and loving environment. Their patience and genuine care ensure that pets feel secure, comfortable, and well-cared for. They are deeply compassionate and always prioritize the well-being and happiness of the animals in their care.”




9. Lauren R.

“Lauren was very communicative and responsive for our entire vacation. She went above and beyond to make sure Forest had what he needed and even got him out on some nice long walks. She also made sure things around the house were taken care and even took a few additional requests with ease. I would absolutely book again and highly recommend to anyone else who needs loyal and proper care for their furry friends.”


10. Onyx R.

“Onyx did a stellar job taking care of our two goldens (including a nine month puppy) and senior cat. Our kids loved all the photos she sent. Onyx was flexible and a great communicator. I highly recommend and we hope to use her again.”


11. Ozzy J.

“Literally the best sitter! This was my first time using a sitter from rover. I knew from the profile and meet and greet this was going to be a long term sitter for my pets! All 4 dogs were cared for well even my old chihuahua who gets depressed when I travel. She also updated me while on vacation on them.”


12. haley s.

“Haley was the perfect dog sitter for our two pups. She anticipated questions we had before we asked them, sent lots of pictures each day, and went above and beyond with their walking and exercise schedule. She’s truly the best Rover person we have had, and we can’t recommend her enough!”


13. Jodi S.
“Jodi has cared for my two German shepherd husky boxes multiple times and has always treated them like they’re her own. My female is an escape artist and I’ve never once had an issue with feeling like she wasn’t in safe hands with Jodi. She loves all animals with her entire heart, and I would happily trust my babies with her again.”


14. Nicole M.
“Nicole has always been a pet lover to any kind of species. She goes the extra mile to take care of any animal in her care. I've never seen an animal not love her. Your little fur baby will be in the best hands!”


15. Kendra Y.

“She was great w our animals! Very attentive and answered all questions immediately kept in constant contact with us. Will use her again for sure!!”


16. Maria F.

“I highly recommend Maria. She is trustworthy, responsive and reliable. She contacted me when Molly was shaking due to fireworks in our neighborhood to make sure this is typical. 8 forgot to warn her and was very happy she reached out to me. Molly had a wonderful time with her and was not as excited to see me as I expected. (because she was content with Maria). This was my first time with a house sitter and I was so pleased to return home with my house as clean as I left it. I will be using her again.”

“Nicole was awesome with our fur baby ! She sent great updates and pictures throughout our weekend away. I would definitely recommend her again.”


18. Melody M.

“Melody did a great job with the pups! She kept me posted and sent pictures throughout their time together.”


19. Sarah L.

“Sarah is wonderful! She is communicative, she sent daily photos and texts while I was away. Eggsy was happy and safe when I returned home. 😊. Also, she is very respectful of my home, which I appreciate.”


20. Shaylee C.

“Shaylee came to our rescue when plans changed at the last minute. She is friendly, easy-going and reliable, and Ukulele adored her immediately! We highly recommend her!”
