“Kathleen took great care of our senior cat and our home. She navigated some technical challenges with our alarm system with professionalism and good humor. Highly recommend. Will definitely re-book.”
“Naya handled all my dog could throw at someone new - from pooping in his crate to trucking her into extra play time outside, naya handled it all perfectly. When I got home, I literally had to reassure my fiance someone did take care of juicy- she left the house with no trace she was here, she only left behind a happy well loved pup! Will be booking naya again!”
“Lydia is so great with our often difficult German Shepherd. She is very nervous around other people, but she loves it when Lydia comes over! And the house is always in perfect shape when we get home. Lydia is the best!”
“Natalie was great with our little guy! She was communicative, punctual, came in clutch for a relatively last minute holiday booking, was patient with our dogs initial stranger danger reaction, and our stranger-scared cat even ventured out to say hi to her. Would book again.”
“Ned is a real professional! He took great care of our two cats, dog and our home with lots of TLC. Very consistent, communicative, and reliable. Ned went above and beyond in so many ways.”
“Nina was amazing! My dog Elvis had such a great time with her and I am so happy to have found her. I highly recommend her and she took great care of my elder dog with lots of updates. I had peace of mind knowing that she was with him!!”
“SJ was a dream dog and house sitter! Very communicative, thoughtful and most importantly, an instant friend to my dog! I would book with them again in a heartbeat. Thanks, SJ!”
“Pre was very good with my two dogs and on time and responsive during the whole process. She kept the place in great condition and we would have her back in the future.”
“Rhiannon was amazing!! She was so sweet with my cat and sent so many updates and was very responsible. I felt very comfortable knowing she was staying at my home and watching my cat and I would 100% have her come back. Highly recommend!”
“Brianna is an amazing Catsitter! Not only did my cats really love her but she was amazing at sending updates and being attentive towards them and their needs! Will definitely be booking her again for my future cat sitting needs!”
“I’ve never been away from my dog for more than 3 days, and Hannah stayed with him for a whole week and made me feel extremely comfortable! She gave frequent updates and handled his specific needs super well. He can be a tough pup to watch and she was amazing. Highly recommend Hannah for pet sitting!”
“Just wow. Emily stayed at our home for a little over a week and cared for dog like he was her own. Our dog is anxious and has leash reactivity as well as some long term health issues. She was knowledgeable in handling him and managed his daily med administrations. Emily also went above and beyond by doing two in-person meet ups to get acquainted with Bouldin, snuggled with him, and bathed him prior to our return. We will be a customer of Emily's for as long as she will have us. Light years better than any dog resort/boarding facility.”
“Emily took such good care of my two senior dogs. Very kind and patient, and also left my house in great condition after house-sitting. I would definitely recommend and will contact for sitting in the future. Thanks, Emily!”
“Jenna took care of my 15 year old dog, Missy. Went out of town for the holidays and Jenna helped us out with last minute pet sitting. Jenna was very understanding when our plane was delayed. We let her know that we would be later in picking up Missy. She was very accommodating. Jenna responded quickly with messages. Would recommend Jenna as your pet sitter.”
“James has dog sat for us multiple times now! He sends frequent updates about how the dogs are doing and makes sure our home is well taken care of. We are confident our dogs are happy and cared for when James is with them and will continue to work with him whenever possible!”
“Being new to Rover I have never had anyone watch my dog before, but Lanis was referred from a friend who I needed for house sitting last minute. I am so grateful she was available and was able to watch my dog Kobe. She is an amazing sitter, always kept me updated with Kobe and kept the house very clean. He really enjoyed spending time with her- even cried when she left! I would recommend her to anyone and will booking with her in the future!”
“Taya did such an amazing job watching our new rescue Boh, who’s a lot to handle right now. And Rico our little elderly gentleman- two totally different dogs at once. THE BEST PART was she stayed overnight with them, neither dog has ever been left alone so I was so appreciative she did that for us. All instructions were followed meticulously and we have already rebooked her for a trip when we are out of the country in 30 days. 10/10 would recommend her all day as your go to pet guru.”
“Asia took great care of our pup, Juniper, as well as our house. She was really helpful and responsive to our messages. Our flights kept changing and Asia was flexible and made sure Juniper wouldn’t be left alone too long waiting, especially while there were thunderstorms (which scare Juniper). We came home to a happy healthy pup!”
Mount Vernon pet parents share their Rover experiences
SJ is outstanding. He goes above and beyond. I had not been away in 6 months and SJ stayed overnight with Julietta and I knew that he would talk with her , engage her. I was updated with photos and reports and was certain that SJ was able to handle anything that required maturity and experience.
Catherine is a wonderful sitter who always takes great care of my pets, and she goes above and beyond. Whenever something comes up, whether it be one of my pet's quirks, or a last minute travel plan emergency, she takes it in her stride and comes through! Reliable and kind with animals, cannot recommend enough :)
Kathleen stayed with our pets for a long weekend - a dog (often reactive to other dogs) and 2 indoor cats. Everything went very smoothly. We were kept informed with texts and pictures and none of the pets looked like they missed us AT ALL!! The dog even slept with Kathleen one night. When we got home, it was apparent Kathleen had cleaned up our house, leaving us very little to do which was a hugely welcome gift from her. We definitely will book with Kathleen again.
Jenna was fantastic and very communicative throughout the entire process. They stayed with our cat Zeppelin and we could tell that he had a great time and was very well cared for when we got back. Picture updates, even watered out garden, we couldn’t have asked for more. Thank you Jenna!!
We took a chance on Amy after we had a bad experience with a previous sitter, and we are so glad we did. Amy has such a cool and calm vibe and energy. I immediately felt comfortable with her, and so did Rani! She made sure she kept in touch regularly and asked questions to make sure everything went well. She even cleaned our house and washed our sheets before we came home! She also texted us after she left to make sure we arrived home okay and that our dog was not left alone. I cannot recommend Amy enough. She just moved to the area which is why she doesn't have any recent reviews but she's awesome!
We rank Zach as #1 for housesitting, dog and cat care. Absolutely prefect! Even our reactive dogs immediately felt comfortable with him. They were instantly comfortable and warm. When we came home, they had zero signs of stress, just relaxed happiness. Our cat usually won't come out for visitors at all, just hides in the basement. She was out purring around Zach almost immediately. Must be an aura of something. Great, twice daily communication. 100% reliable. Incredible value for money. We're booking him for our next trip away right now!
