2. Faith A.
“Kitties loved her and it was like we weren’t even gone!”
3. Alicia W.
“Communication was excellent. My two cocker spaniels were happy and content when we arrived home. The house was immaculate. Alicia went above and beyond. She even washed and folded laundry I had left in the hamper. Will definitely book again”
4. Heather L.
“Heather is wonderful! It is immediately apparent upon meeting her that her love for animals is heartfelt and genuine. She was our first-ever Rover pet-sitter and we couldn’t be more pleased with the whole experience. She stayed in our home for a week with our two senior dogs who have significant separation anxiety. Heather happily accommodated our request that she never leave our dogs alone for longer than 2 hours/day—in fact, she only left once, the entire week, for about an hour. She texted every day and sent photos. It was clear our pups were relaxed and well cared for!”
5. Allyson Eileen V.
“Allyson did an amazing job with Tyson and has great expereince with senior dogs! She sent us lots of update photos while we were gone! She was able to administrator all his medications with no problem even his eye drops which sometimes he is does not like very much. We would absolutely book Allyson again!”
6. Buffy S.
“Buffy was amazing with our two large dogs while we were out of town. Highly recommend her to anyone else looking for a reliable person.”
7. Kiri R.
“Oh my gosh! Where do I begin! Kiri is seriously the best! Anyone looking for a trustworthy individual to watch their fur babies, she is the one to call ❤️ She updated me when she could about the dogs and sent pics/videos to let me know they were well taken care of. She also went above and beyond by cleaning after herself and washing her dishes and vacuuming before she left! I didn’t even ask her to do it! Kiri is 100% a true rover employee and I will always try and have her every time now! Thanks girl!”
8. Elizabeth M.
“Elizabeth has a special gift that sees animals as a special part of life, that are deserving of loving care. I have seen her sacrifice her own comfort for the pet's that she loves and adores. The way she is in tune with their needs is natural. It's like she can read their thoughts and actions. In my opinion there is no better person I would trust with my pet's and know from experience that they will have the best care possible.”
9. Taylor-Nicole I.
“Taylor has been amazing with our pets in the past while watching them! She is so kind and sweet, extremely gentle with animals and her love knows no bounds when it comes to making sure your pets are treated like her own. I recommend her time and time again to friends and family and you should too!!”
10. Helena S.
“This was our first experience with Rover and we were a bit nervous, but Helena was incredible! We have a hard time going on trips because we love and worry about our kitties. She’s communicates greatly and our kitties who are usually a little too skittish of new people liked her a lot and made appearances. She also sent us great updates with picture, which we looked forward to. We had so much peace of mind knowing she was there watching over everything! 100000/10 would recommend her. We can’t wait to plan more trips now knowing our fur babies are in great hands!”
11. Patsy P.
“Can’t speak highly enough about Patsy! She took excellent care of our four year old golden retriever while on vacation. She was responsive, attentive to details, and truly cared for our pup. Would recommend to anyone looking for a pet sitter!”
12. Destiny P.
“All of my dogs and cats LOVED Destiny. Sometimes I think they loved her more than me. She is very alert on any changes of behavior as well. Love her.”
13. Anita S.
“Anita is an animal live and an empath, not just for dogs, but for all animals. I know her to be kind and loving to her own dogs, and to be a responsible pet owner snd person. I give her high marks for a job such as this”
14. Danielle P.
“I couldn’t be happier with the care provided for our dog! From the moment we met, it was clear that they genuinely love animals and are dedicated to ensuring a safe and happy environment for our pup. Bruno had a wonderful time, and we received regular updates and photos that gave us peace of mind while we were away. I highly recommend Danielle to anyone looking for a reliable and compassionate sitter. Our dog was treated like family, and we’ll definitely be booking again!””
15. Chelsea B.
“Chelsea is an animal lover! She has two dogs, a snake, a spider, and a bearded dragon! She provides the best care for all of her babies and would do the same for any animal she meets. She is responsible, organized, timely and will always have the animals best interest in mind. She has watched my dogs before and when I came home, they were so happy!”

19. Megan S.
“Megan is a Dog Whisperer! She took such wonderful care of our senior, high anxiety Shorkie (Yorkie mix). He was so calm and content around her, he did not even need his anxiety medicine. Megan is a sweetheart. We felt completely comfortable with her staying in our home and taking care of our Bear-Bear. We highly, highly recommend her.”
