“Kimbrey and Sean did a great job sitting for our rescue dog with separation anxiety. They were very patient with her and helped her feel more secure while we were gone. They are a kind and responsible couple.”
“We had a very positive experience with Carolina. We were out of town for almost two-weeks. She sent us a video/pictures daily. And we were in communication if needed. Our dog had some challenges coming in and Carolina seemed very experienced and knowledgeable about dogs. She listened, met with us and felt confident that she could watch Tofte. We felt so relieved and comfortable traveling knowing Tofte was in good hands. All went smoothly, Tofte did awesome and credited that to Carolina. We highly recommend Carolina. We will be contacting her in the future.”
“It's always a good sign when the pups are happy to see you, and also sad to see Erin go. Erin always takes wonderful care of my pups and they are always sad to see her go!”
“Jenna was AMAZING!! I felt so comfortable leaving my little Jasper with her in my my house for 10 days. Made my vacation worry free!! My dog was so comfortable with her and enjoyed all the cuddles. She sent me pics every day. Since Jasper is getting older, she was very observant of him and let me know anything she thought could be a concern with him. Will 100% use her again and referred to my sister already!!!”
“Julia was great!! She was so adjusting to my last minute schedule and was able to work with me and communicate well. Thank you so much I appreciate you”
“Emily was prompt, caring and wonderful with our babies. They usually take a minute to warm up to people but they took to her right away. She kept us apprised and asked questions when she needed. She went above and beyond for us. Will definitely rebook with her.”
“This was the first time I had used Rover in a number of years and from start to finish Shykala was fantastic! Great communication - and even better with the dogs. They felt right at home with her and hardly missed me. Will definitely be using her again.”
“Ann was fantastic! She was available last minute and kept our kitten company while we were away for a week. She provided a perfect amount of communication and updates for us. She gave us great peace of mind on our trip and we would absolutely rebook!”
“Autumn did a great job with our pups—she spent time with our pitbull pup practicing his “down” and gave lots of snuggles to both. When we got home not only were the dogs both calm and relaxed, the house was tidy even though I know our backyard had been muddy from the rain! Thanks, Autumn!”
“Kristina was great! We felt that our old gal was in good hands. Our dog is 17 and needs a lot of patience, help, and love. Kristina brought all this and more. She really cared about our dog and enjoyed her. Kristina is a great communicator before, during, and after her stay with at our house. She asked clarifying questions to fully understand our dogs needs, and checked in with us as much as we wanted while we were gone. She left our house in spectacular shape and I think even cleaner than we left it. Once we got home we knew Kristina did a great job with our dog as our old gal still wanted to hang out with her instead of welcoming us home, ha. We will be booking with her again and she will become our regular sitter. 10/10 recommend.”
“Jessica was terrific- last minute my cat needed medication applied while we were gone on our trip and she really stepped up. She was super communicative, sent a ton of pictures, and the pets were obviously very well cared for while we were away. 9000% would recommend Jessica.”
“Kaitlin watched our fur babies for a whole week while we were away! We feel that our dogs are pretty high maintenance, one with separation anxiety and one with stranger anxiety and she was more than kind and accommodating. Grateful she stepped up the challenge and we felt no worries while away!”
“Elizabeth made me feel very comfortable about leaving my dear fur babies with her. I knew they were in good hands and she sent me sweet photos of them each day. She went above and beyond by helping bring in "some boxes" for me - it turns out since I had a sofa delivered while I was out of town, it was half a room full of boxes, many of which were quite heavy. She never complained - just happily helped me out! I am so thankful and would love having her back any day.”
“Laura is amazing! She kept my very active golden retriever entertained and happy while we were gone for a week! She sent many updated pictures keeping my mom guilt at bay while gone.”
“Rachel did an amazing job sitting our dog. This was his first time spending time with a pet sitter, and I was very happy with the outcome. Our dog is usually shy with people, but he warmed up to Rachel as soon as he met her, I think thanks to Rachel’s friendliness and easygoing manner! Rachel was also very flexible and accommodating, and sent us photo updates which I appreciated. I highly recommend Rachel to everyone, including those who have shy & timid pets.”
“Everything went very well. Laura was very good about communicating before and during the stay, and gave lots of updates while I was gone. She took the dog for runs which I don't do, but he seemed to enjoy (he has lots of energy) and provided play. The dog was relaxed and happy when I returned. The house was well taken care of. I would certainly be happy to have Laura sit again.”
“Kayla did a great job taking care of my 2 dogs. She asked questions, which I greatly appreciated. She was kind and communicated thoroughly with pictures and videos of the dogs. I would highly recommend her to anyone thinking of using Rover!”
“Margaret does a great job taking care of our two old dogs while we are away for long weekends.”
“Rachel is a natural with animals. I feel like you could throw her into any situation and she'd be great! She's thoughtful, trustworthy, and leaves your pups happy and content!”
“Alalijah is the sweetest! She is very gentle, caring and attentive .. I immediately felt at ease at our meet&greet and knew my fab5 would be in great hands! My cat fam isn’t used to company in our home but adjusted fairly quickly to her presence during drop-ins. The photos and updates throughout my trip really helped me sleep good at night. I will continue to book Alaijah as long as she’s in business! Thank so much!”
