Meric was great! We would definitely use him again for sitting our dogs. To say our dogs are a handful is an understatement. One is overly energetic and noisy and the other has quirks that can sometimes be hard to manage. He took great care of them while we were away and our apartment was in exactly the same condition as when we left. Great sitter!

My dog Jake has really taken to Michael. He's very caring and provides updates that help give me the peace of mind while being away from home.

Butters and I really liked meeting Micheal and having him spend some time at our home. He checked in with questions, updates and photos which I appreciated very much. I will definitely reach out to Michael again when I need care

My original pet sitter canceled on me and I’m so glad she did! Because of that, I got to work with Heather, who was so kind, communicative and professional. This was my first experience using Rover and Heather made me feel really secure about leaving Teddy at home while I traveled for work. I know he was so much happier with her than he would have been in a boarding situation. I hope to work with Heather again in the future.

Josefa took such good care of our two dogs and our home while we were away on vacation. She provided daily updates. She was great with the dogs and it allowed us to have a peace of mind that they were in excellent hands while we were away. We definitely recommend (and will work with her again!)

Mary took wonderful care of my dog Winston (and my apartment too) while I was away on vacation for four nights. I felt totally at ease leaving him with her even though it was his first time staying with Mary. She is super friendly and straightforward so it was very easy to communicate, especially over text messaging. She asked important questions in preparation that made me feel like she knew what she was doing and was taking care of my dog's particular needs. I really appreciated the daily text updates and pictures of my dog that she sent. She was also very helpful with my all-white dog's tear stains on his face--by the time I returned it looked like he had had a serious grooming session and the stains were almost gone! I will definitely ask Mary to watch Winston next time I am away and would recommend her to any of my friends.

Alia was fantastic. You can tell she is a natural with dogs and “gets” them. Tokki immediately jumped up in her lap when she came and was more interested in playing her than focusing on me leaving which is great for a dog with separation anxiety.

Very good, would definitely recommend! I’ve got an older chihuahua with severe IBS, the slightest change in her diet makes her very sick, yet she somehow has a knack for sniffing out the most toxic “snacks” in the park. Had to leave town for a couple weeks, and was very nervous, she’s an anxious pup who’s never been left with strangers for that long before. Turns out I didn’t need to worry at all! Allie was great with Coco and made sure she was monitored and cared for. She was very understanding and patient with her, and I returned to find a very happy and healthy pup. Will be sure to book again!

Victoria was amazing! She took great care of Cody! Cody has anxiety and she was very patient with him until he warmed up to her. She sent lots of picture updates and even help me straiten up my kitchen. She is a very nice and trustworthy person. I will definitely request her again!

Alexis is such a stellar sitter. I’m grateful that someone as empathetic as her is about to take care of my old cat boy. Despite needing ridiculous amounts of medication, Alexis is always excited to see him and I know he’s in great hands when he’s with her. She’s the best pet sitter I’ve ever had!

I’m about to book her for all my upcoming work travel and look forward to having her stay with my dogs again.

As someone who has a love for dogs like no other, it is incredibly necessary to pick the best caregiver possible, and in my opinion, Andie was the best choice I could've possibly had to take care for my adorable perfect golden doodle, Willow! She has an incredibly kind soul and a soft spot for all animals, which is the #1 thing a caregiver should have! I really admire her dedication and commitment to her work and believe her work ethic is truly impressive. In conclusion, Willow and I wholeheartedly recommend Andie as a responsible and loving pet caregiver!

Sienna was absolutely great! She took the time to come and meet our pups ahead of our trip, and was very communicative and conscientious. As other reviewers mentioned, she left our apartment super clean and even remade our bed with clean sheets, which was such nice surprise to come home to! We will definitely use her again in the future :)
