“Nicole just doesn’t hug, snuggle and care for our furry ones, she watches the house and is attentive to all facets of our home and property. Izzy already misses her! BooBoo nonplused😀”


“I felt so relaxed with Rebecca watching my kitten and bunny! My pets were clearly comfortable with her and she sent lots of pictures. I’d highly recommend her, she’s a very communicative sitter who clearly cares about your animals.”


“Thank you so much Diego for taking care of the girls. Without your help, I would not have been able to take the very important trip. Gertie and Gretchen will definitely miss having you here with them!”


“Glad to have booked Margaret on short notice to watch Jinja at home for two days during the day while I’m at work. She communicated well throughout the process and kept the house clean. She’s very nice and Jinja is excited to see her. Will book her again”


“Ellen was fantastic! She followed directions explicitly and even accommodated a later departure when we got delayed on our trip home. 10/10 recommend.”


“Tanaysia was so good with my shy boy Gumbo! She recognized his anxiety and checked in with me and we had a plan of action. He warmed up to her so quickly too, which made me feel a at ease! She was communicative and asked questions when needed. Will def have her back again when I need someone!”


“Holly is a brilliant sitter! Looked after my dog like she was her own, plenty of updates throughout my time away, and left the house neat and tidy. Thanks Holly!”


“Nichole was fantastic and accommodated a booking on short notice. She was great with Bruce and made sure to follow up with regular updates. We will definitely book with Nichole again in the future!”


“Natalie was excellent! She went above and beyond to make sure my dogs weren’t left alone too long when I had a wonky travel schedule, and she was great at communicating about everything my pups were up to. I definitely recommend her!”


“Carrie took wonderful care of my dog and my home while I was out of town for six days. I appreciated the daily updates and her ability to handle a big dog who doesn't always react calmly to other dogs on walks, and also during a heat wave! She also kindly cleaned up the things she used in my home, too. I hope to book Carrie again the next time I travel.”


“Jessica was fantastic with our dog and two cats. Her dog Ernie is a sweetheart and fit right in with the crew. She was great at communicating and sent lots of fun updates. We would definitely hire her again!”


“Best sitter I’ve had yet! Extremely kind and caring with my baby. Elisa sent tons of updates throughout the day without my prompting. My home was well cared for as well - just as clean as I left it. I’d definitely book services with her again!”


“As always, Ahmed was the perfect cat sitter. Jack and Sammy love him and probably regret when I come home and he leaves. Lots of play and love! Ahmed sent photos every day -- making the time away from the boys so much easier. I highly, highly recommend Robin and Ahmed -- individually and as a team they are terrific!”


“Kristin was probably the best rover experience we’ve ever had! She communicated with us so well and gave us frequent updates/pictures. Our dogs get separation anxiety but she spent so much quality time with them that we never had to worry. We will definitely use her again.”


“We’ve used Rachel a few times for both dog walking and house sitting. Our two dogs absolutely love her! Rachel was great about sending us photos and updates on the dogs. It really made us feel that our dogs were in good hands and being well taken care of. Would definitely book Rachel again and highly recommend.”


“Carly adjusted to our dog’s needs (meds, food changes) and our requests while she stayed at our house for a week. our house and dogs were well cared for and she communicated w us as requested. will book w her again :)”


“Evangeline was terrific! She watched over our home and our beloved Airedale, Archie, like he was her very own. Stayed in contact and handled the little things that popped up. A terrific lady and and all-pro service!”


“Mara was the first sitter I used through Rover, and I was admittedly a little nervous about the whole process, especially the idea of entrusting a stranger with my two most precious pups. But Mara was incredible and calmed any nerves I had going into it. She was willing to meet with me in advance which allowed me the chance to get to know her and introduce her to the boys. And she was patient and kind and gave off such a warm and genuine vibe that I knew right away that the boys were in good hands. Unfortunately while we were gone, through no fault of her own, one of my dogs had some digestive issues, and Mara went above and beyond to take care of him and make sure he was feeling ok. Mara was communicative and available, the boys loved her, and I just can't recommend her enough.”
