Wilma did a wonderful job watching our two pugs! We had a very nice meet & greet where she asked thoughtful questions while we walked the dogs around. While we were away, Wilma kept us posted with frequent texts and pictures, and the dogs loved her. They were relaxed and happy when we got home which is the best! She also cleaned the sheets from the bed she was using and remade the bed, which I really appreciated. It was a very stress-free experience, and we'll definitely use her again!

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.

Justelle was fantastic and did a great job with our pups! We arrived home and they were clearly very happy :). She took great care of our house as well, sent pics throughout, and replied quickly to all messages. Will absolutely use again and recommend her to everyone!

Junbo stayed overnight in my home for multiple nights and took wonderful care of my dogs. She sent lots of updates, photos, and videos, and it was clear from every one how happy, comfortable, and well loved they were. I really appreciated her communication and the peace of mind she gave me while I was away. My dogs were relaxed, content, and clearly well cared for — which matters most. I would absolutely book Junbo again and recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, attentive sitter. 🐾💛

This was my first time using Jessie to take care of fritz and Lulu so I was a little nervous but she was amazing she took care of them really well and they seemed super happy with her. The place was kept really clean and Jessie was very communicative and cleaned up all the sheets and stuff which was unexpected.She even took the dogs for walks which was great and I didn’t expect that at all. I’ve already booked again in September so I’m looking forward to it ;)

She seemed to enjoy spending time in my home and with my pets and i found her easy to work with and will definitely try to book her again when in need of pet sitting. :)

We LOVE how much Shalindra loves our dogs, and they love her! She keeps us thoroughly updated and sends plenty of pictures and videos so we know they’re doing well. She is someone who you know just adores spending time with dogs, which helps us know she’s enjoying her time with our pups, even if one of our dogs is insane haha. Highly recommend Shalindra if you want someone to truly enjoy hanging out with your pups and update you along the way.

Dale was awesome! She asked really thorough and important questions before the stay, and left the house just as clean as when she arrived. She administered my dog's anxiety medication before she left, so that she wouldn't be too stressed being alone. Dale was also very communicative during an unexpected power-outage at the house, which I can't imagine was very fun!

Trisha took great care of Naia and Mav during our trip! Our dogs were calm and clearly comfortable when we got home, which means everything during the day to day went smoothly. One thing other owners might want to know: Trisha’s communication style leans toward one update per day unprompted, rather than frequent photos and check-ins throughout the day. If you’d like more frequent updates, it’s worth mentioning that to her. She’s very responsive and easy to talk to, and she always seemed quite happy to adjust to what we wanted. Overall a very positive experience, our dogs were well cared for, and she went over and above tidying our place/cleaning before we arrived home!

Cynthia was wonderful with our two dogs Miley & Douglas. She communicated well and gave us updates on the pups while we were away. Our house was left possibly cleaner than we left it. She left a summary/ update for us for when we arrived home that was really helpful. She even groomed our dogs while we were away, made them a few chicken and rice meals when they got upset stomachs, and offered to have some groceries ready for our baby (human) when we got home. We would absolutely have her back again to look after our home & dogs in the future. Thank you!

Iris is an exceptional house sitter and pet sitter. My “slow to trust” cat was so comfortable with Iris he did not hide from her! Our dog loves all the attention and play time he gets while Iris is with him.

I hesitate to leave such a great review as Jayce will then become so popular but it would be unfair to keep such a gem hidden! Jayce has extraordinary patience and could possibly be a dog whisperer. Don’t ever hesitate to book them. Incredible communication , empathy and did I mention PATIENCE ?❤️

Justelle is magic with cats. She coaxed our extremely shy cat out of hiding so she could give him his inhaler. I wasn’t even sure it would be possible for a cat sitter to get that done with him! She’s a an animal lover and we love having her take care of our babies.

Anna watched Cairo and Momo while we were out of town, and she was exactly who we needed. Cairo is very sick and partially disabled, and she went to great lengths to care for our boy, paying attention to every little detail from medication timing to his mobility needs. She kept us updated the whole trip and clearly treated both dogs like her own. Highly recommend her if you’ve got a pet with special needs.

Dahae did a great job with our pups Pickle and Kiwi! They can be territorial but they both warmed to her quickly. She was able to come over for a pre sit meet and greet and we knew right away she was going to be great! She left our apartment tidy and the pups happy! We got photos from her every day and felt comfortable having her stay. Would book her again for future pet sitting!

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. :-)
