Priti was wonderful and we look forward to hiring her again soon. At the meet & greet, she asked all the right questions, was very attentive and in-tune with our pets needs. We have an older dog who is struggling with a few health issues, and Priti was the compassionate and caring sitter we were looking for. I'm looking forward to having Priti stay with our pet again soon!

I was a bit skeptical of this app, letting a stranger into my home, but Heather could not have proved me more wrong. Heather is an amazing human being with years of prior and current military experience, she is currently pursuing her pHD, and is looking for dogs to love as her dog is currently back home with her parents in Minnesota. She is friendly, very responsible, and someone I trust after even one booking. She took great care of my 10 week old and frustrating at times puppy, and she went above and beyond. Believe it or not, I ordered a weight lifting set that just so happened to arrive during her pet sit, and when I returned home I was surprised to see that she had brought all of my packages inside herself. These were not light packages, and I would never ask a pet sitter to do this, but the kind human being she is, she did it without even being asked. We spoke for about 30 minutes after I came home, and I could tell she was a great person right off the bat. She is very responsible, attentive, and I would highly recommend her to anyone considering a pet sitter. Heather even followed up with me via text and sent me links to local trails I could take my dog on once he is fully vaccinated, and she recommended a lot of good venues for us to explore in the future. She has made me trust the Rover app, and I will be re-booking her in the future! An absolute 10/10 experience for me. Thank you so much, Heather!

This was our first time using Rover for house/cat sitting and we didn't know what to expect. Rebekah was wonderful! She was easy to reach, prompt, friendly, and exceeded our expectations in every way. She was even able to make friends with our kitty, who is usually afraid of everyone.

Dara housesat our two large dogs for a long evening while we went to a concert! The dogs immediately warmed up to her and we came back to two happy, resting dogs. Dara communicated so well with us from the planning stage all the way through to the end. I really appreciated how detail oriented she was when asking about routines, safety, and each dogs’ likes and dislikes. She also seemed genuinely excited to hang out with our dogs. She managed our dogs who both have some behaviours (one food guards and my foster is not good on a leash) beautifully. I will definitely book her again.

I asked Carrie to stay as a house sitter for my two cats who are just over a year old. They haven't been alone for an extended period of time due to their adoption during the pandemic when I was mostly home all day. Also one of the cats had recently been put on medication for anxiety and tummy troubles so I wanted to be sure she was monitored. Carrie went above and beyond with everything. She let me know how it was going with the cat who needed medicine and supplements and kept me informed about the overall well-being of both cats. She played with them to keep them active and sent photos of them at intervals. Carrie also took exceptional care of the house and left it in better condition than when she arrived. As a fairly new pet owner, I was nervous to leave my cats in the care of someone else, particularly with a new medicine routine. However, Carrie made the process painless. I would definitely recommend her and plan to be a repeat customer the next time I go away.

Alexandra is highly responsible. She watched our 11 year old schnauzer for 4 nights over a holiday weekend. We asked her to walk him 3 times a day and she was spot on with making sure to follow through. She also house sat for our dog at our home, and she took care of our flowers and plants. Would definitely recommend Alexandra if you are looking for a reliable dog sitter! Couldn’t ask for better.

I’ve used Rover for a number of years and Christina is by far the best sitter we’ve had. Excellent communication. Clearly got our dog. Took great care of our home. Our dog was as happy as can be when we returned and the house was immaculate. Really great experience for us.

About: ***I have a petsitting profile with over 27 reviews on Trusted Housesitters that I am happy to pass along if you’d like to verify my experience! Please feel free to ask for the link! I am a former professional nanny and house manager with a decade of work experience with caring for families’ most precious treasures: their children, pets, and homes! I loved my job and I take pride in being able to bring a sense of comfort, care, and love into other’s homes. Despite this, I have decided to pursue other passions of mine, so I am now a location independent digital nomad working in marketing so that I can balance my love of travel (so that I can work from anywhere) and meeting new people (including furry friends!) Ultimately, I know I miss being able to provide care while on the road, which is why I am pet/housesitting each place I stay in. I have now completed seven sits across five countries and have loved every minute of it! My goal is to continue doing what I love by offering a nurturing hand to other’s fur babies/homes while seeing the world. I look forward to meeting you soon! I also have a full profile complete with reviews on trusted housesitters and lots of character reviews through Airbnb that I am happy to send to you if you’re interested in moving forward with a booking. Please reach out to request. I am a digital nomad currently in DC so I will mostly be working from home - meaning your kitty/pup will get all the attention they desire! As mentioned above I have a decade of experience managing my clients homes and pets as well as 6 months of direct petsitting experience on Trusted Housesitters. I regard your space and fur babies with the utmost respect and take care of them as I would my own space. I keep an open line of communication for all questions and updates, and follow your pets routines as instructed to insure their comfort.

Madison was beyond an excellent dog house sitter. Excellent communication, followed all care instructions, and even knew how to respond when our boy had some tummy issues. We knew our boy was safe in her care and will definitely be booking her again :)
