“Mallory was beyond amazing, both for my pets as well as my house, going above and beyond for us, particularly in a tricky time. I would certainly book with Mallory again in a heartbeat.”

“Victor did great sitting for Ellie, kept her company all day, listened to her needs, gave her food and her medicine. Would absolutely book him again in the future!”

“Amanda took phenomenal care of both of my pups while I was away! She was extremely communicative, respectful, and kind. I could tell as soon as I got home that they were extremely well cared for and just as happy as can be. Amanda was wonderful and I’d be lucky to have her watch my dogs again.”

“Oli helped us out on really short notice and took fantastic care of our pup. It was such a relief to know our girl was getting love and attention while we were away. Thank you, Oli!”

“Danielle house sat and cared for our pup Stella while we were out of town for 3 nights. She was an excellent sitter! She communicated often, keeping us updated on how Stella was doing throughout the stay. Danielle was also very respectful of our home and left everything clean. We would absolutely let Danielle sit for us again! Thank you Danielle for caring so well for our pup!”

“From now on Thane will be the only Rover that I ask to stay with Kipper. She was attentive, communicative, fully engaged, and addressed all of my concerns, needs, and questions. And Kipper loved her.”

“Margaret was an incredible dog sitter for our two pups! She was prompt and reliable, and left the house in great shape after she stayed for the weekend. We got several pics of our dogs and just the right number of updates. We have already booked her again. Highly recommend!”


“Emily was the perfect dog and house sitter! She was generous in her updates to let us know how everything was going, and Page clearly loved the time he spent with her!”

“Sidney was so gentle and loving to our shy kitty! Bambino took to her immediately and when we came home, he was a happy clam as if we hadn’t even been away! We would 100% recommend her and will be booking her again for our future getaways 🥰. Thank you so much, Sidney!”

“Camryn was great. She was very communicative and we could tell she cared nicely for our two boys. She even noticed one of our boys had some itchy ears and offered to clean them out. Hopefully she is available next time we have to go out of town.”

“Alex was amazing - very professional! He was very attentive to our wishes and instructions, excellent communicator, punctual and all the things you would expect from hiring a pro. The house was left clean and he genuinely seems to care for our pets and enjoy their company. Got photos every day and followed our complicated medication schedule. The dogs seemed happy and healthy when we returned! We HIGHLY recommend!”

“Very great with communication! One of my dogs has to be on meds and her schedule was followed as instructed. Dogs over all loved her ! Thank you for all the help”

“Aidan was great! I left my anxious hound dog, Dean, in his care over a long weekend. He was very responsive, and proactive about sending updates with adorable pictures. Dean does not warm up to everyone, but was so sad when Aidan left and was stuck with me again. I'll be using him again in the future.”

“Amber took great care of our two dogs and house while we were visiting family. She was very communicative and sent lots of updates. Our one pup is a little more anxious than the other and she was very patient with him as he warmed up to her. She also left our house very clean and brought in our packages and watered our plants!”


“Julia petsat in our home for 4 days and was very kind and communicative! Our pets were well taken care of and we returned to a clean home! We are always a bit nervous since our dog has anxiety and needs a bit more attention and care but everything went great!”

“Sarah was fantastic with our 2 dogs! She was very communicative and we loved that she sent lots of photos. We never had any doubt our dogs were well cared for and the house was left tidy. We will absolutely work with her again in the future.”

“Can’t say enough good things about Christine! Very accommodating, thoughtful and was ultra committed to my dog’s wellbeing. Even went out of her way for Del to be more comfortable, and for me to feel at ease. Easily a 10/10 sitter. Will def book again!”

Monroe Ward pet parents share their Rover experiences
This is our third time working with Cat and the experience remains stellar. She is communicative and caring (our dog clearly loves her!), and she coordinated with family members in the area when an issue came up with our house while we were gone. We have already booked her for a fourth time for an upcoming single-day need.

Suzzie watched our 4 dogs overnight while we were away, and she took excellent care of them! Two of our dogs are younger cattle dogs who can be a bit jumpy and nerdy, and she handled them so well. I can be a neurotic dog mom, but I felt very comfortable having her stay in our home and care for them. Our older dog (who is also my soulmate) is on heart medication, and I felt at ease knowing Suzzie was taking good care of her. We will absolutely be using Suzzie again in the future when we leave town!

Maddi was amazing with my fluff kids when I was out of town!! I was a nervous Mom because of my reactive pup and very shy cat, and everyone did great with Maddi. She’s even the first person other than me whom said shy cat has ever approached and allowed to snuggle him! Great communication, went the extra mile taking the trash out before I got home, and left the place and the kiddos in great shape! Highly recommended!!
