“Josie was amazing and I would highly recommend her. I have a very shy 10 year old boxer. While he was a little standoff when she first arrived to meet him he did take a treat from her. When I left on my trip I quickly confirmed that he was in very good hands as I got daily updates with pictures and it looked like they had been long time friends. It was very comforting to see what they were up to each day and that he was getting some love. Josie stayed at my place and I was impressed with how clean everything was when I got home. I 100% trust her with my home and dog and plan to use her again in the future.”

“Sophia was incredible I couldn’t recommend her enough! She took exceptionally good care of our pets and was really communicative with very thoughtful and nice updates throughout her stay. She left our apartment incredibly clean and tidy - having her as a Rover let us have a super nice vacation which I really appreciate”

“Wilma did an excellent job taking care of our home and our pets while we were away. She is a great communicator and sent lots of great photos and updates. Our pets loved her!”

“She was great! We have 3 big dogs and she knew how to interact with them, even our more difficult to handle one. She sent pictures and kept us up-to-date which was so nice.”

About: I have taken care of dogs that range in age from puppies to senior dogs. I also have experience with watching over and helping dogs that have small medical issues. That has included tasks like feeding medication and changing dressing. I am currently a student but am typically free early mornings and late afternoons/evenings. I also enjoy going on runs, so if your dog is more high energy I can take them along! I will keep constant watch over your per and will follow whatever directions have been provided to me. If an emergency is to come up, I will immediately call the owner and figure out the best course of action to keep the pet safe.
“Junbo is fantastic! I can't recommend her enough. She took care of my cat and high energy puppy when I was out of town for a week. She not only took my dog for a walk but took him to different hikes everyday. She takes care of the pets not just out of responsibility and accountability but also the enthusiasm and joy of being out with them. She truly enjoys the company and loves the pets she's tasked to take care of. She sends lots of photos and videos and gives frequent updates on their daily routine. Again, I highly recommend her for all the services that she offers. Will certainly hire her gain for house sitting. Thank you Junbo!!!”

“Sanuthi did a fantastic job taking care of our cats and house while we were away. She thoroughly reviewed what we do for them and asked great questions, and I felt very comfortable leaving our cats and home in her care. She sent messages and pictures while we were away, and everything seemed to go smoothly! I would definitely hire her again!”

“Ashley was so great! She came by on super short notice for a meet and greet did a great job with watching Lyra. She took her on a nice long walk and provided all of the care Lyra needed the entire time. We came home to a happy and tired pup. We will be using her services again, for sure.”

“I have been using Rover for five years and have hired numerous dog sitters, but Mingxin is definitely the best one I have ever met. She is a very responsible person who pays attention to every detail of my requests. She provides great communication, always sends updates on my dog, and makes sure everything is in place. She walks my dog twice a day, taking her on long walks to explore. My dog was taken care of so well that I didn't have to worry about a thing while I was on vacation. I will definitely hire her again and I really appreciate her service!”

“Friendly and conscientious, fast and clear communication before/during/after, sent fun daily photos of our dogs relaxed and having fun with him, flexibly supported our schedule asks, and returned our home as tidy as we'd left it. Looking forward to using Toki's services again.”

About: I’m a dog owner and started using Rover to introduce different dogs to my puppy since I’m thinking about getting another one! Along the way, I completely fell in love with spending time with dogs, playing, cuddling, going on walks, and taking care of them. I truly enjoy getting to know each dog’s personality and making sure they feel happy and comfortable. I’m a full-time dog and cat walker/sitter/carer, so your baby is guaranteed lots of love and attention! Last-minute requests are very welcome, just give me specific instructions, and I’ll be on my way! I can walk the doggies for as long as the owner prefers! My apartment is spacious, clean, tidy, and hazard-free. I usually don’t leave the doggies unattended, but if I need to step out briefly, I have two cameras in the living room to keep an eye on them.
“Amazing job with our pets and taking care of the house! The pets all love having Trisha watch them and she always leaves the house so clean and perfect! Also does a great job with my dog who needs medication for epilepsy.”

“Magdalena stayed with my dog while I was out of town for the weekend and was wonderful! I appreciated the way she made a point to connect with my dog right away, she asked thoughtful questions, kept me updated with photos and videos, and I came home to a happy dog and clean apartment. She seems to genuinely love dogs and know how to help them feel comfortable very quickly. Would love to book with her again in the future and highly recommend. Thanks again Magdalena!”

“Justelle is the best. She is very communicative and reliable. She took great care of our home and our cat and dog. She made sure our house was tidy when she her booking was finished. She loves animals and understands them and what they need.”

“Gabriel is a great pet caretaker. He keeps a close eye on Clover all day, plays enrichment games with her and makes sure she is safe, fed and exercised. We are so happy with his care.”

“Natalia was wonderful with my clingy cats! She sent multiple pictures throughout the day and was very attentive to their needs. She also asked lots of questions during our meet and greet and I can tell she is great with cats!”

“Another last minute booking with Felicia. Came home to happy pets and clean house. I really appreciate the care she has provided for my animals. I would highly recommend her for pet and house sitting. :)”

Anna was a fabulous dog sitter and we would not hesitate to hire her again! Excellent communication and care of our dog and our home. Our dog is an XL, energetic mix with a big personality who is dog reactive, so we did a trial walk before the sit and Anna adeptly adapted to our dog's routine. Thank you again!

I booked my first ever house-and-cat sitter on Rover, and I could not have chosen a more thoughtful, kind, and caring person to care for our cat and home while we were away. Lydia's love and affinity for animals is immediately apparent, and she visited us several times to get to know us before her assignment; Dasha, typically shy with strangers, would readily approach Lydia for petting when beckoned, which was a great sign. I made every effort to make our home feel safe and comfortable during Lydia's stay, and left detailed instructions and information about Dasha and our house, which she followed faithfully. She sent daily updates on Dasha's welfare and cute photos and videos every day we were away. We returned from our trip to an immaculate home and a calm, happy cat. I would book Lydia again without hesitation, and recommend her wholeheartedly to the Rover community. :-)

Isabel was great with our pets, and we appreciated how quickly she was able to earn Kimchi’s trust, especially since he’s usually very nervous around new people and tends to hide. The fact that he felt comfortable enough to come out around her means a lot to us. We’re grateful for the care she showed toward our kiddos.

Hailey is an absolute MUST book. If it’s dog walking, dog sitting, or dog and house sitting, man you out kick your coverage booking her. I would expect anyone seeing this to request her as a sitter. I have a 95lb full of iron and p and vinegar young German shepherd and she wears him out. Not only that but he genuinely loves her being around. I’ve booked Hailey multiple times and can honestly say she’s welcome to just walk into my house whenever she wants to see Siggy. I was also gone for two weeks and came back to a house more organized than the way I left it, cleaner than I left it, and she even took care of a bookshelf and dresser (put them both together and placed them in places that I don’t even know how she lifted them there) I can honestly say she’s earned me and Siggy as forever clients. Can’t wait to book her again.
Siobhan is great to work with and our two cats also think she’s great. She communicated as needed during our week away and left our home in good shape for our return. This is the 2nd time we have worked with Siobhan and we will reach out to her again in the future.

Sam did a great job caring for my cat, Link, while I was away for a couple of nights. He was friendly, responsive, and easy to communicate with throughout the process. I came home to a happy, well-cared-for cat and a tidy home. I’d gladly have Sam pet sit again and recommend him to others!
