“Erin is one of the best sitters we have had at our home in years! She took excellent care of our animals and was so attentive to their needs. She sent many updates which made me so happy to see. Erin provided many special touches such as adorable report cards at the end of her sit. She really is a gem and we look forward to having her sit with us again in the future! I could tell our pets were totally comfortable with her, and so were the pet parents.”
“Kathryn is: conscientious, kind, considerate, capable, competent, and funny. She took care of my precious babies and I couldn’t have been happier with how happy they were around her. She cared for my apartment like it was her own, and I never worried once about anything while i was away. Thank you, Kathryn, for being amazing and wonderful!”
“I highly recommend Mandy for your house sitting and pet sitting needs. She provided daily updates and kept our home very clean! I will be reaching out to Mandy anytime I need a sitter for my pups!”
“Valerie was easy to work with, sent pictures from every walk (as well as other cute photos), never complained when, I am assuming, Ginger got a little out of hand, kept Ginger out of danger when another dog escaped its house and came after her, and left the house as clean as I left it.”
“Taylor was great with our dog Arlo, and the house was in great condition when we returned. He was prompt and communicative before and during the booking and we'd be happy to book him again in the future!”
“Savannah was an outstanding sitter for our two dogs! She communicated well and was attentive to the needs of two high-energy Labrador retrievers. I would recommend to anyone and will book with Savannah again”
“Dom was awesome house sitting our pets!! He was very professional and polite, sent us a ton of pictures, and took the dogs out on a walk everyday we were gone. 10/10 would recommend and will definitely be using him again in the future!”
“We cannot express our gratitude sufficiently for the care he provided to our dogs while we were away on an extended trip. Our almost 15 year old pup needed additional support unexpectedly and he gave her the love and care she needed until we could get home. He is skilled, professional, kind and empathic. He is an amazing choice and we will always reach out to him first for future needs.”
“Chris was a great pet/house sitter. He was friendly and professional and came in at the last minute when another Rover sitter canceled. Our pup was well taken care of- walked, given meds, etc and our house was left clean and plants watered! Great with communication. Would recommend to others looking for a pet sitter.”
“Janelle was simply amazing. I have a lot of anxiety when leaving my Rye and Janelle made it a stress free trip for me. She was excellent at communicating and sent pictures showing how much fun Rye was having. I would absolutely recommend her and rebook again in the future. Thank you Janelle!!”
“I cannot thank Jeremy enough! He took amazing care of my dog and when I got home Tank was happy and well taken care of! Really appreciative of the updates and photos! Thank you again!”
“Terri has been my dog watcher basically since my pup was born, and I wouldn’t trust anyone else with her even close to as much as Terri. She is loving, kind, patient, extremely knowledgeable about dogs, and very communicative! She is well known in our neighborhood as a friendly soul and the person to go to for pet care. Just book her, you won’t regret it I promise :)”
“Michael was so great to our dogs. We have an elderly senior 16 year old, who needs a lot of care and Michael was there for all of it. Medication, multiple potty breaks, hand feeding Charlie. Buster got to know him,and became a best friend. The dogs really enjoyed having him. Thank you so much .”
“Jessica was amazing! We love traveling with Copper but hate to leave him alone when we go to a concert/event. Jessica stayed in communication. Showed up on time and Copper loved her. Knowing he was being so well taken care of helped us enjoy the concert!”
“Jenny is so kind and patient, just a lovely person. Our dog is slow to warm up to new people but Jenny won her over and took wonderful care of her. Jenny was also flexible and understanding with a last minute change from house-sitting to boarding. We hope to work with Jenny again!”
“Lara did such a great job with my sensitive senior pup. She was exactly what you want in someone taking care of your little companion. Very responsive and communicative, responsible, and earned the love of my sassy lady so quickly!”
“Laura did well with my dog. That is the most important thing to me. She is a good communicator and is very reliable. She is flexible and understands that sometimes things change. I would use her again.”

Mountain View pet parents share their Rover experiences
Laura was wonderful with Ozzy and Coco! She was responsive, flexible, and accommodating with all their personality quirks. We came back to two very happy pets, and I think our house was probably cleaner than when we left it. Would definitely have her house sit again!
Alicia was absolutely amazing. I’ll definitely be reaching back out the next time I’m out of town. I have a dog with strong behavioral concerns, a handful of medical needs, and requires lots of love. She was so cared for and loved while I was away. Alicia was great about giving me updates and sending pictures. There were no issues when I got back after 10 days. She responds fast and is a very clean houseguest. I would recommend her to anyone who needs a sitter!
I would book another pet sit with Kaityn in a heartbeat. She was communicative and professional from the beginning of the booking through its completion and could not of went any smoother. My 19-year-old kitten could not have been more relaxed when I returned home from my trip and the house was spotless. Kaitlyn helped us out by doing a little watering during the 90-degree days and of course sent daily pics. Thanks again Kaitlyn!!
I wish I could give 10 stars for Olivia because she was a 5 star for both my dog Bruce and my cat Gandalf!!! Very professional and great at keeping me up to date with my fur babies throughout the day so I was able to relax and enjoy my vacation in peace!!! Will definitely be using her again!!!!!
Beth was a great dog and house sitter, communication was good and I could tell she was giving my pups plenty of attention! My seniors were relaxed at home, and meds, meals, and walk updates were shared daily. Would recommend and would absolutely work with Beth in the future!
Allison was an excellent sitter and it was clear that our girl Juni was taken care of! She provided pictures throughout the day and we got home to a tired pup. We also greatly appreciated Allison’s flexibility on arrival time. Thank you and we would definitely book again sometime!
