“It has taken me a bit to get to this review, sorry Zack. Zack was amazing! Not only did he take excellent care of Rex, he text me photos, and even took him to the K9 swim for us. The best part of having Zack sit for Rex, was being able to relax on our vacation. Rex is very spoiled with love, and needs his human contact. He is also recovering from a back injury, so needs special handling getting on and off of things. Zack was the perfect sitter. In addition my home was not only as I had left it, it was cleaner. Something that had never happened with sitters I employed by knowing them as family or friends. I not only recommend Zack highly, I recommend using Rover to find a sitter for your dog over using family & friends. The professionalism was well worth it.”
“Bridget was great with our little old man dog Shaq. She won him over quickly and kept him safe the whole time we were away. Cute picture updates & notes on how he was adapting. It was great. She showed excellent judgement when the power went out on our block & took our little dog home with her overnight. Really appreciated the care and commitment to keeping our boy safe. You are the best, Bridget! Thank you.”
“Nancy was so great with my Pup, who needs extra care and comfort due to injury/surgery. Nancy was also excellent with communication before and during her time at my home and with Pup. I appreciate her and look forward to booking her again.”
“Maggie and her partner watched my dogs at my house while I was away. Maggie regularly sent pictures and updates on how my pups were doing. She showed a lot of patience towards my newly adopted dog, who needs to be walked regularly while she is still working on potty training. My house was clear and orderly once I returned. I really appreciate and will be hiring her again soon.”
“Katy is warm, communicative, kind, easy to work with, and goes above and beyond to be an excellent house & petsitter. She took such good care of my animals. I'm DELIGHTED to have gotten to connect with her here, and felt so grateful that she was watching my house and my dog & cat while I was out of town. As soon as I got back to town, I immediately started thinking about when I might work with her next - for future travel. I highly recommend her!”
“Melody was a great house sitter! It was our second booking with her. She was reliable, good with communication, and most importantly took great care of our dog. Left our house in great shape and even checked our mail while we were gone. We will definitely use her again.”
“Best pet sitter ever! Benita is amazing with my pack and she took wonderful care of them. Dealt with their quirks;, provided lots of updates with pics and video, administered medications and kept them all happy and loved. Will definitely book again lots! I highly recommend her for any and all pets. She is wonderful! Came home to happy, healthy pets :)”
“Bradley did a fantastic job house and petting sitting my 2 dogs and 5 chickens. He was a good communicator and followed instructions perfectly. I highly recommend him to anyone needing a pet sitter.”
“I had a long trip out of state over the holidays planned, and I was worried about leaving my fur babies for so long. But I was really grateful to have had someone there with the animals who was clearly so caring and attentive. Her communication was great, very friendly, and the animals clearly loved her! Got regular pictures so I knew they were in good shape and happy. Thank you thank you thank you!”
“Jill was fantastic! She took great care of Phoebe and our home. She sent us daily pics and thoughtful updates, which helped ease my mind. Her extensive experience with dogs and as a musher made me comfortable knowing she is extra observant of all my dog's behaviors and knows animal first aid. 100% will hire Jill again!”
“Julie is the best!! We could not have been more pleased with the love and care she provided our senior gal. Not only did she take exceptional care of our dog, but our house too. Highly recommend! 10/10.”
“We loved having Kerry house sit for our dogs. She is very good with them and we can tell our old ladies were well taken care of. She is observant and communicates well.”
“Jessica was awesome and did a wonderful job watching our home and animals. She sent regular updates and left the home clean and ready for us when we came back which was great. I would definitely recommend Jessica to others and so would our doggies (they seem to have had a good time while we were away :-)!”
“Jennifer took great care of our pup and house over the holiday! We really appreciated the daily pictures/check ins :) Everything was super clean when we got home and best of all our dog was happy! We’d highly recommend and will book with Jennifer again in the future!”
“Sydney was great with our 3 cats. We've used them 2x now and had great responses from the cats, clean house, and great communication. Highly recommend”
“Tynesha was great with Ziggy he took to her right away! She kept me in the loop with his needs throughout my trip and treated my home with respect. I would definitely book with Tynesha again!”
“My dogs love Nancy. They are excited to see her. I have three Havanese and they keep her busy. Nancy cleaned a couple of refrigerator shelves. It was unexpected but much appreciated.”
“I can’t give Erica enough stars, she is absolutely amazing. During my recent trip, Erica stayed at my place and took care of my pet for ~ 2 weeks. She was quick to gain the trust of my anti-social cat, she communicated with me nearly daily, and my cat was happy and well cared for while I was gone. Erica also was an excellent house guest and left the place in great/tidy condition (probably better than I had left it). Thanks again Erica for taking such great care of Toed!”
North Star pet parents share their Rover experiences
Jennifer was absolutely wonderful while house sitting and caring for our two kittens. From the start, she was communicative, reliable, and clearly experienced with animals. Our kittens were happy, well cared for, and comfortable the entire time, and it gave us so much peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands. She also left the house clean and in great condition. We would absolutely book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and attentive sitter.
Heather did an absolutely wonderful job taking care of our home and pets while we were away. She consistently shared pictures and updates, which gave us so much peace of mind knowing everything was going well. Her communication was excellent—always responsive, thoughtful, and reassuring. When we returned, our house was clean and well cared for, and our pets were clearly happy and comfortable. It’s such a relief to find someone so reliable and attentive. I would highly recommend Heather to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet/house sitter!
Rachael did an amazing job with my dog and cats, and house. My dogs are fairly recent rescues, and are very attached to me. They were a bit of a challenge, but Rachael managed things, and kept me informed throughout. Clean sheets and towels and a clean house when I got home!
Eleanor did an absolutely excellent of looking after my dog Enzo during Christmas break. It is obvious she loves dogs and they bonded immediately. She treated him as if he were her own, gave him lots of love, play, and more walks than I directed her to. She gave me regular updates and pictures which allowed me to have a worry free vacation. She also took very good care of my home. It was cleaner than I left. I would highly recommend Eleanor. If I could give her 10 stars I would!
Had a good experience with our pet sitter! From the very beginning, Ericson was professional, communicative, and genuinely caring. Furbabies were happy, relaxed, and well looked after when we returned. We received regular updates and photos, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. We wouldn’t hesitate to book again and highly recommend Eric’s services to anyone looking for a reliable and compassionate pet sitter.
Chelsey always takes incredible care of Kira and makes us feel so much more comfortable being away from her, especially on long trips. We came home to a very happy pupper who honestly might not have missed us too terribly (which is always much better than the alternative). Thank you so much!
Maia was wonderful! There were a few hiccups on my part and she handled them wonderfully. She reached out regularly to give me up dates on all my pets and how each one of them was doing. When we got back the house was cleaner than we left it and everyone seemed happy and healthy. For reference I have 3 dogs and a cat so she definitely handles chaos well!
