“It was great to have Paula stay with my 2 kitty cats! Paula was responsible, responsive and just a really nice person. Kept me informed, sent me photos every day, and left the house clean and the cats chill and happy! Highly recommend Paula!”

“Matt has been an excellent communicator and pet sitter. He demonstrates so much care and concern for our pets and he will be a go-to for us well into the future. We give Matt our highest recommendation”

“OMG! Look no farther. If you want a GREAT Rover experience then Erica is your girl. She gave updates, sent pics, helped in any way possible, communicated often and was very respectful of my home. My dogs literally looked like they took to her quickly- which they never do so this was a testament to her “vibe”. I will hire Erica any and every time I need a dog sitter and recommend you do the same! 10 ⭐️’s”

“She was so sweet and caring, my senior dog loved her. Great communication and super calm spirit. I will definitely be using her again. She was hyper aware that he was post surgical and made sure to communicate updates to me regularly”

“It was our first Rover for our 8 month old pup and it went well! Kaile went out of her way to make sure we were comfortable and receiving updates on how it was going. We highly recommend her and would be happy to use her again!”

“Amanda was great. She checked in consistently throughout the weekend, sent plenty of updates, and I always felt in the loop. My two cats and dog were all relaxed and happy when I got home, and the house was tidy. Would definitely book with her again.”

“marissa did an awesome job sitting for our pups and house for a week! we got the perfect amount of updates and were able to enjoy our holiday knowing our dogs were comfortable, relaxed, and cared for in our own house. we arrived home to happy dogs and a well-looked-after house!”

“Karli took wonderful care of our dog and our home during her stay. We received tons of photo updates and great communication throughout. I can’t recommend her enough!”

“Lily was such a life saver for a last minute house sitting of my kitty, Bradley. I was heading out of town as he had a urinary blockage. Lily was a good communicator, handled his post-surgery medicine administration, and provided a lot of love and pets. I felt confident my cat was in good hands with her despite the stress of an urgent procedure before an out of town trip. I would definitely book her again.”

“Cortney was amazing! She took such good care of my baby girl while I was away, and sent lots of pictures. It’s always a relief to know your dog is being well taken care of when you’re traveling. She walked my dog every day and gave me regular updates and I really got a sense that they bonded throughout the time I was gone. So appreciative of Cortney and would strongly recommend her to anyone else looking for a dog sitter.”

“I’ve had Ian watch my pets multiple times now, and I couldn’t be happier! He’s incredibly reliable, caring, and goes above and beyond every visit. My pets absolutely adore him, and it gives me such peace of mind knowing they’re in great hands while I’m away. Ian’s communication is stellar! He lets me know if there’s an issue like when my dog didn’t seem to be eating a lot and It’s such a relief to have someone I trust completely. He’s also very accommodating from trying to plan around certain dates or prior obligations to staying a few extra minutes with my pets until I’m able to return. i highly recommend Ian to anyone looking for a dedicated and loving pet sitter!”

“Aniela was great! She’s watched Bear a few times now and is very communicative, follows instructions to a T, and cares for your house and pup as if they were her own.”

“Elle is an incredible human with an amazing talent for loving and caring for animals. She was so sweet, kind, patient and loving with my pup! She was also incredibly respectful in my home and left it spotless, even after I told her not to do any chores. She took her job seriously, was professional, and did AMAZINGLY! She will be my preferred dog sitter for a long, long time. Thank you do much Elle!”

“Alice took such good care of our pup and home! Regular updates and photos, proactive care, and a great communicator. Would highly recommend and use her services again!”

“Katelyn has watched our two dogs twice and she was excellent both times! She is very communicative, sends a lot of photos and the dogs feel very comfortable with her. We would love to have her watch them again!”


“I can't speak highly enough of Christine! She was attentive, communicative, and overall just such an amazing sitter for our pets. She went above and beyond to make our pets feel at home, safe, and loved. We will also reach out to Christine to watch our babies and you should too!”

“I couldn’t have asked for a better cat sitter! He took wonderful care of Bella and Rummy while we were away for a week. I got frequent updates with photos every single day, which gave me so much peace of mind knowing they were happy and well-cared for. He went above and beyond—not only keeping them safe, fed, and loved, but also leaving our place spotless before he left. Truly thoughtful and reliable. I would recommend him without hesitation to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter.”

“Ashley was an amazing sitter for our little dog. She has great energy and he loved her. She was incredibly responsive and accommodating. We loved her and will definitely have her come stay again!”

Mlk pet parents share their Rover experiences
Bex is by far the best pet sitter EVER. They were in communication with us the entire trip, took the absolute best care of our 5 dogs, and treated our home like their own. I have never looked forward to leaving my babies in the care of anyone else, until now. Thank you for the peace and joy!

Candice was incredible! She took good care of Lola and left the house in perfect shape. She was very professional, provided updates daily and followed all instructions. It's clear that Candice has a lot of experience with animals. When we got back from our trip, I could tell Lola had a really great time. Lola was acting normal and was sad to see Candice leave-- Lola even waited at the door after she left to see if she would come back. Not only is Candice an all star dog sitter, she is also such a great person that I'm grateful to have met! 10/10 would recommend!

Sam was absolutely great! She spent overnights with my cat and I could just tell from all the photographs and when I got home Lemon loved her so much. She loved her like she was her own and made me leaving her the least stressful it could be. Will definitely use her again!

Absolutely wonderful. You could not ask for a better person to care for your pets! We have a challenging senior dog with many issues — including separation anxiety & poor eyesight & the need to wear a belly band — Bria handled them all with loving care! Excellent communication! She went above & beyond to make sure our dog (and cat!) were happy, healthy, and comfortable. She’s simply the best.

Zac was great! I needed a last minute booking for a NYE trip and Zac came to the rescue. He sent updates and pictures everyday, administered Frankie’s medication as needed and even tried a new leash to help her not pull on walks (if you know Frankie, this is huge!) I would definitely book again

Tess was fantastic. Her communication was excellent and we always felt in the loop. When one of our cats came home with an infected bite (not her fault at all, he was indoor/outdoor), she contacted us immediately and took him to the vet right away. She coordinated everything with us and kept us updated the whole time. She even helped start the transition to keeping him fully indoors when she brought him home, which was incredibly thoughtful. We’re so grateful for her care and would happily book with her again.
I’ve used Christine in the past and she is always a great fit for my dogs. I have two giants that can sometimes be a lot of energy and she handles them with care and enthusiasm. She sends daily (or more) pics and shows so much love for my boys. Highly recommend!

We have used Iva several times and always have had a good experience. This time an unexpected flight cancellation due to a snowstorm left us scrambling to try to get home. Iva was so comforting and was able to stay an extra night until we made it back. This was so helpful and made the problems so much easier to deal with. Thanks again!
Jenna was incredible with my two rambunctious, mischievous pups! I received updates several times a day, and Jenna was responsive within minutes when I reached out to check-in. I arrived home to a surprisingly clean home, which was shocking, since I have two massive shedders. I'm so thankful to have had Jenna staying with my pups while I was away for a longer than usual trip!

Shout out to Andres for taking care of Pickles! We were worried Pickles might be shy with him but she warmed up to him quickly and when we got back it’s like she didn’t even know we were gone! He also took great care of our home and was communicative giving us updates about her. Again thank you so much Andres for taking great care of her!
