“Summer was a great choice when we had to leave for the night. She was a great communicator and very accommodating for our very hectic weekend. Would 100% recommend!”
“excellent gal and great pricing too! she really goes above and beyond her pay grade and puts in the extra mile to make my animals feel safe while i was away! will rebook when needed!!! Also the pictures she sent put me at ease 11/10”
“Paige did a great job taking care of my somewhat shy pup and had great communication with me while I was away. Would definitely suggest her to others looking for someone to care for their furry friends ☺️”
“Penny was my favorite sitter so far. She was great at communicating before, during, and after the trip. She left my house almost better than it was before I left. But most importantly, she bonded with my cats. I felt completely at ease while away because I could tell by her messages and photos that she genuinely liked my cats. Bonus... She also has a sense of humor. I will definitely be booking with Penny again.”
“David did a great job staying at our house and taking care of our pets and animals for eight days. We have a very energetic dog, two cats, a bird and chickens, and David handled it all with ease. I'd definitely book him again. There was a snowstorm while we were gone, and it was so nice to know that David was at our house taking care of everything. He made vacationing away so much more relaxing. You can tell he loves animals, and I know that our dog had many walks and play times. With the snow and cold, the chickens caused some unexpected problems (frozen door, problems with their water) and David problem-solved it all.”
“Morgana met all our expectations. We have 2 senior dogs and 2 cats. Morgana was very detail oriented during our meet-and-greet, with many good questions and notes. She was prompt, calm, professional. Her updates on the crew were frequent, informative, narrative, and thorough! We loved reading the updates and getting some excellent photos as well. We would definitely book again in the future!”
“Alex was amazing! She arrived on time, asked great questions and took notes, and was very communicative. We felt very comfortable with her staying in our home. She also sent sweet photos of our boys, who we could tell were having the best time. We will definitely book her again!”
“Seriously the best dog sitter we have had. Our needs are pretty specific due to having a special needs dog and Kari was able to provide everything we asked for and more. She sent frequent pictures and gave our pups lots of snuggles. She is great and I can’t wait to travel again now that we finally have someone we can trust with our babies.”

“My wife and I are very satisfied with Katrina sitting our house, large dog and two cats for two days. We also appreciate her keeping our new outdoor plants watered. Happy to have her house sit again.”
“Rachel did a great job housesitting for our two kitties who are a bit demanding. She took care of our mail, trash, packages, and other people coming and going from our home while we were gone. Highly recommend hiring her if you want peace of mind while on your vacation. Will use her again for upcoming trips.”

“If you want a worry, free time away from home, John is your guy. He spent a week with our golden retrievers, in our home. He sent frequent updates and pictures. It’s apparent that he has an affinity for dogs! When we arrived home, the house was tidy and clean just as we had left it. I will feel at ease requesting John’s dog sitting services in the future.”
“Judi was great with our nervous pup who hates to be alone. She was a very conscientious houseguest and communicated with us regularly about how our girl was doing. We're really happy we booked her.”
“If I could leave more than 5 stars I would have. Giovanna was exactly what I was looking for to watch my pet. He is an older dog, so he needed some different attention and that is exactly what Giovanna provided while I was away. Caring and compassionate. I would recommend Giovanna to anyone that needs the Rover services in a heartbeat.”
“Communicative, helpful, and goes above and beyond. Even with my chaos and last minute requests, Lisa was kind and communicative. Not to mention my dogs were relaxed and happy when I got home!”
“I would highly recommend Olivia. She did a great job with our fur babies, even extending her stay when we had unexpected vehicle issues and couldn’t get home. She was respectful of our home and very responsive. I would definitely use her again for our next trip.”

Stephanie did a great job taking care of Riley and Joe. She kept me updated with pics and asked questions when she had them. I came home to some very happy and relaxed pups and she took great care of the house while we were gone. She was very attentive even coming by on breaks from work to let them out or check on them. I will definitely have Stephanie come again!!
Geraldine did an excellent job watching my senior, diabetic dog, Oscar. She provided updates and was very responsive to questions. I was immediately comfortable with her after meeting her and seeing her interactive with my dog. She also took great care of my home - leaving it feeling cleaner than when I left. I highly recommend Geraldine!
This was my first time using Rover and I am so glad I did. Katrina was amazing. She stayed with my special needs Jack who has three legs and weighs in at 80lbs. Katrina's updates, pictures, and communication were excellent. I was out of town for the weekend, Friday thru Sunday and I didn't worry once.
Rachel was wonderful! I could tell by the way my dog Ole reacted when she came back a couple of days later to retrieve something she'd forgotten. He went right up to her for cuddling. : ). Rachel sent updates and pictures of Ole and Panda and contacted me with questions. I will definitely book Rachel again!
Madison is fantastic. She took excellent care of our 2 cats and older dog while we were on vacation. She was easy to communicate with and very responsive. She provides updates while we were gone. We had no question whether our pets were in good hands. Would highly recommend, and plan on recommending her to family & friends.
Anabelle was just fabulous! She met with us in advance to ensure we were comfortable and set before she started watching our home and sweet puppy. She spoiled our puppy, fish, and house plants rotten and checked in regularly with photos and updates. We are looking forward to our next booking
