“Kim was great with my pups. she went above and beyond. during her stay she encountered a snow storm which she still drove through to care for the pups and also cleaned an area of snow for the pups in the back yard.. She kept me up to date on daily happening. I would recommend Kim 100% she is great.”
“This was my first time using Rover. I hit the jackpot with Cynde and Bria!! They were so attentive to my greyhound treating him as if he was their own! They kept me informed with texts and pictures throught my vacation. They made it so easy for me to relax knowing that he was being so well taken care of. Highly recommend!!”
“My dog decided to counter surf and eat too many treats. After he puked on the rug and blanket Joshua not only cleaned up and kept a close eye on Odin, he threw the dirty linens into the wash for me. Above and beyond the call of duty”
“We were understandably nervous about using Rover for our first overnight away from our dog, but Navaeh exceeded every expectation. She was professional, communicative, and incredibly kind. We appreciated the regular updates and pictures, and it was clear our dog felt safe and comfortable with her. Our home was just as we left it, and our pup was calm and happy when we returned. We’re so thankful to have found someone we trust and look forward to working with Navaeh again.”
“10/10 would recommend! It can be a hit or miss finding a reliable sitter. I was sad when my old pet sitter moved away but then I found Carol! First and foremost Carol obviously cares about the well-being and comfort of your pets. She checks off all my boxes of what I look for in a sitter and it also helps that she sends cute updates and pics throughout the day. When I got home my place was as I left it and most importantly my dog and two cats were calm, as if I never left. I would definitely recommend Carol and I look forward to (hopefully) using her in the future!”

“Grace is amazing! She spent the week with our 4 babies over Thanksgiving and we didn’t have to worry about a thing!

“Michael was a wonderful pet sitter for our 4 dogs. He developed a great rapport with them and was super attentive to their needs. He took good notes for us and managed their schedules and took great care of our home as well! Michael stayed later than originally expected as we ran late getting back and was proactive in getting in touch with us and ensuring everyone was well taken care of!”

“Nia did such a great job taking care of my pup that she (my doggo) didn’t even look like she missed me when I got back!! She updated me every day with photos, and it could show the dedicated time she put into looking after her. Coming home to a happy puppy and a clean home is the biggest stress reliever - definitely grateful.”
“Elizabeth did a great job watching our two labs (one is a puppy!) at our home. She was very easy going and easy to work with. When we got home the dogs were happy and quite tired! I would definitely use Elizabeth again!”

Jocelyn is an amazing and loving pet sitter! she has her own animal friends at home with her and clearly loves them so much. She remembers our dogs as if they are her own pets and she loves them and they love her back! She really gives us honest and funny updates and pictures and videos of them having a great time with her, competing for her attention, playing and looking so happy! Jocelyn adores animals and it shows. She is a very responsible young woman and we are very fond of her. We only know her through Rover and that is enough to be able to trust and rely on her with our beloved doggies! Thanks so much Jocelyn for always clueing us in and doing the best for our pups and especially never making it seem like a chore but always loving to stay with them the way our own son and daughter do! We came home to happy and relaxed, exercised dogs who were happy to see us but certainly not frantic or anxious in any way. That is the magic of Joelyn!

Alex is a rare gem! Thoughtful, conscientious and caring for your pets and your home. She takes the time to understand your pet and follows their routine but also takes care of your house! Really appreciate her care when we are away! She takes care of everything and communicates regularly during our time away.
