“David P. takes excellent care of Rudy. Rudy looks forward to his visits. I can honestly say it is like leaving your pet with a trusted friend. I have full confidence that even if an emergency should arise David would handle the situation perfectly. Thank you so much David for your excellence service and commitment. The very definition of integrity is doing the right thing in any given situation whether there is a consequence or not. I wholly endorse David.”
3. Skylynn V.
“We had Sky stay at our house for a week while we were out of the country, when we got home both of our dogs were happy and healthy. Our house was in great condition, we got regular updates on our dogs. This was our first time using Rover to have someone housesit for us so I was a bit nervous leaving our apartment and two of the things I love most in this world with someone I had only met for a brief while. Sky did a great job and really set me at ease. 100% would recommend.”

6. Brittany D.
“Brittany is fantastic! I am so at ease when we travel knowing she's caring for our two dogs. She walks them and makes sure they go out regularly, keeps their water bowls stocked, and gives them all the cuddles they demand. Looking forward to our next trip knowing Brittany can be with them :)”
7. Jamie N.
“Jamie is simply AMAZING! She has been my go-to person to take care of my 4-legged fur babies for many years. The care and kindness she displays allows me to feel relaxed and comfortable whenever I am away. The tell-tale sign of her connection with my pets is the way they all jump around with joy whenever they see her. One even jumped up over 3 feet into her arms. It was the cutest thing ever! I really wish I'd had a camera that day. I cannot recommend Jamie highly enough. In additon to the care and kindness, she is professional, loving, and treats all fur babies in her care as if they were her own.”
8. Sara S.
“Sara took such amazing care of our dog while we were away!! She stayed at our house with Roxy and took care of her for 6 days. Sara sent us lots of pictures and updates throughout the week. She took Roxy on walks, played ball with her in our backyard, gave her lots of love and made sure she was okay during the holiday neighborhood fireworks and in the summer heat. We were so happy with Sara that we already booked her to stay with Roxy for our next vacation in a few weeks!”
9. Stephanie O.
“Stephanie is absolutely wonderful with my 4 cats and 2 dogs! She is reliable, kind, and I know my fur babies are always in good hands. I can’t recommend her enough! Always worry free”
10. Madison D.
“Madison took amazing care of my two dogs and my home for a week. She's reliable, responsible, and I was able to enjoy being away knowing she was home taking care of everything. Absolutely will book again.”
11. Rachel K.
“Rachel is a great communicator and provided outstanding care to our dogs! Very kind and attentive to both dogs, including a puppy. Will definitely be using her again next time!”
12. Alexis N.
“We met and hired Alexis recently before she joined Rover. She impressed us right away at our meet and greet with how quickly she bonded with our pups and also helped with them while we were chatting ( letting them out and playing with them). She came the other day to walk our 110lb Husky lab as he is in desperate need of exercise but he wouldn’t go way from the house because his brother was left behind . Alexis end up taking both of them for the walk . She did a great job and we have booked for two trips for June . I am a fur mom and pet sitter and I have expectations as both. My boyfriend worries about the babies sometimes more than I do . We both feel Alexis will fit right in with our Sitter choices and I can tell the pups like her ! They interviewed and hired her after the first Pet !”
13. Kellie M.
“Kellie was so wonderful with our dog Russell. We were abroad for 2 weeks and she sent us pictures and updated his activities for us to share. He loves her and so do we! She also took great care of the house and we found everything in tip top order. I can not recommend her more highly!! And we will hire her again to watch Russell. Thank you Kellie XXXXOOO”
14. Mai V.
“Maverick was happy and well cared for. Mai did an excellent job caretaking for him. Maverick doesn’t warm up to new well and he liked her at first meet.”
15. Isabella R.
“Isabella was communicative, caring, and very easy to work with. She kept us updated on how things were going and did a great job with our senior dog. We will definitely use her again in the future!”
16. Paris K.
“Paris was great with our puppy Paloma, looked after her at our house and took her on adventures. Paris is knowledgeable about dogs and how to work with them, very friendly and considerate, and a great communicator!”
17. Noelle C.

18. Melissa F.
“Melissa was wonderful to have stay in our home with our two dogs. She was attentive and responsive, and our pups loved being around her!”
19. Abigail H.
“Abby has been loving and caring for animals since she was little, especially dogs. She has gained so much knowledge in raising and looking after dogs from nurturing newborn puppies from our breeding liters, helping with feeding, potty time, walking/outdoor breaks, cleaning/bathing, and play time. She has always been so passionate about all dog types and now has a fur baby of her own. Abby is very gentle and kind, and puts safety first. She works well under stressful situations and knows what to do in case of emergencies. She has been trusted to dog sit for both short and long periods of time for local friends and family, and constantly gets amazing feedback. She would be wonderful at Rover!”
20. Melany S.
“I would highly recommend Melany to care for your pet. She has, in the past taken, care of my cats while I was vacationing. She absolutely loves all animals and would take exceptional care of them. She is a responsible, kind and caring person. Melany grew up with dogs so she has the experience, which is important when you trust her to care for your pet.”
