“Animals were super happy with Shannon! Our cat doesn't warm up quickly to new people, but he was immediately very social during Shannon's stay, and came home to happy pets. Thanks Shannon!”
“Stephanie was great! We felt really good about leaving the dogs with her. She sent us pictures and funny stories about the dogs. I would definitely recommend her and would love to have her again.”
“All the wonderful comments about Anthea were validated in our first experience having her stay in our home to care for our aging kitty. Anthea took wonderful care of our girl, who is extremely timid and shy. Anthea gained trust to the point of being able to give her meds and provided thoughtful insight about her care. As others have noted, Anthea is extremely knowledgeable about pets (and many other things). Our home was left in pristine condition. As retirees who enjoy travelling, but are always concerned about leaving our precious girl by herself, Anthea was the perfect solution. We highly recommend Anthea for your pet care needs!”
“Julia did an amazing job watching my dogs!! They’re both herding breeds and kind of a handful and she did great with them, they were both very happy and tired when I got home. She was also very communicative, respectful, clean, and sent lots of updates. I would definitely book with her again!”
“Flynn did an amazing job taking care of our dog. His communication was excellent; sending us updates and photos. He was flexible, accommodating and kind! We would definitely ask him to take care of our dog again.”
“Anna and Julia did a fantastic job! Our 3 little dogs are quite high maintenance and we returned to a clean and calm house! Loved the videos of the dogs playing and all the pets being content. They obviously love animals and were great with the cats too. Perfect sitters for a weekend getaway.”
“Our pets are needy and we were worried but Olivine was so amazing that even our grumpy cat was in love with her!! Daily checking in was a delightful unexpected bonus! Holly and Zippy are already looking forward to their next stay-cation!!”
“Matt does such a wonderful job watching our dogs and home. His updates and photos give us such peace of mind when we're away. He's very detail oriented and takes great care of our boys. I know they are in good hands and I never have to worry about a thing! We are very lucky to have found him.”
“Heidi did a fantastic job watching our two dogs and home. When we returned home both dogs were happy and relaxed. She even watered the garden! I highly recommend Heidi for your dog needs.”
“Michaela was absolutely wonderful. We have a dog who can be reactive to other dogs and people and have never left him with someone he doesn’t know to watch him. Michaela almost instantly became his best friend-something he has never done before! She is confident with dogs and takes their reactivity seriously which made us feel so much better while we were gone. We got updates on him multiple times a day with pictures and she was very responsive if we messaged her to check on him. She left our apartment spotless-and honestly probably cleaner than when she got here. She was on time on arrival and followed our instructions to the letter. We will absolutely be asking her to watch our baby again. Thank you Michaela for watching our baby!”
“Selma watched my dog while I was out of country and I felt he was in such great hands. I had a few sitters while I was away, and he had been sick right before. She was fantastic on keeping me updated with his continued health and how he was getting better, and put me at ease while I was in and out of service. Will definitely be using her again!”
“I can't recommend Jobee enough. They were punctual, communicative, detail oriented, clean, and so thoughtful! Our return flight got cancelled and Jobee even offered extra checkins. They snuggled my needy cat every day and exercised our Belgian Malinois regularly.”
“Heather housesat and cared for our two pups while we were on vacation. She was fantastic. She came over in advance to meet the pups and talk with us about their care. She communicated each day to let us know they were doing well and sent photos. It gave us peace of mind to leave them in her care.”
“My pups are pretty shy, especially with new people. Hayden knew exactly what to do to handle their initial apprehension and make them feel more at ease. He sent regular updates and photos that made us know that they were being well cared for. We came home to happy & healthy pups- I couldn't ask for anything more. Would love to have him sit for us again!”
“Spencer was great with our kitties. We got update photos while we were away and it was great to see them so relaxed and happy. Our most shy Mika came out and interacted with Spencer right away. I appreciate the level of communication and care, and I love coming home to happy cats. Looking forward to more trips and we will be booking with Spencer again.”
“Skyler and her son Dayton are amazing. I was in Italy for over two weeks and she kept in contact with me always. She took care of my garden and my house and of course my sweet babies. Everything was perfect when I came home and she even stayed later because my flight was delayed, she’s the best I recommend her highly”
“We highly recommend Cora to watch your fuzzballs. She showed up on time, was communicative, sent updates, and the puppy was very happy when we got home. Thanks Cora!”
“AMAZING! We had to book for pet/house sitting relatively last minute after our original pet care plan fell through for a pretty long trip abroad. Kylie was absolutely the best. We received updates and photos daily and were able to rest easy knowing our dogs were being well looked after”

Northwood pet parents share their Rover experiences
Alex is the best! We needed help with our three cats with very little scheduling notice, and Alex stepped up to help. He took notes while I went over their routine, and I could tell he took caring for them very seriously. He even agreed to bringing in our mail and watering some plants. One of our cats is diabetic and needs insulin injections twice daily, and she was also on an oral antibiotic. Alex updated us regularly about how the cats were doing, whether or not the diabetic cat was eating, and how feedings and medication administrations went. It really eased our anxieties with leaving our three cats with individual needs in the hands of someone so capable and trustworthy. Alex's professionalism and dedication to providing quality care for our cats and the house while we were gone allowed us to focus on what we needed to at that time. We will undoubtedly request his services for future cat care needs while we are away.
Hannah was absolutely fantastic with our pets- our dog and baby kitten. She looked after them, gave them lots of love and they were very happy after we gone for 6 days. We were a little nervous leaving our baby kitten alone for the first time, but Hannah was awesome- she sent pictures and was communicate with us the entire time. Highly recommend her for looking after your home and more importantly, your fur babies. Will definitely be reaching out to her the next time we need care for our pets. Thanks so much, Hannah!! -Jihan & Dan
AMAZING! We had to book for pet/house sitting relatively last minute after our original pet care plan fell through for a pretty long trip abroad. Kylie was absolutely the best. We received updates and photos daily and were able to rest easy knowing our dogs were being well looked after
Absolutely incredible. We were out of town for a week and she took care of our four dogs, including one with special needs, with confidence and unprecedented kindness and eased any stress we had. She was VERY thorough both before the trip and during. A nightly recap always included a ton of photos, details, and funny quips. Very sweet and great communication. Took care of the house too! Simply the best. We'll use her forever moving forward!
Jenny stayed with our dog Oliver and cat Ringo over Memorial Day weekend. We had met with her a couple weeks earlier just to get to know her and were instantly impressed. She is very personable and was immediately at ease with our dog Oliver which we loved. We had a great conversation and talked about some of the difficult things with our pets and she didn’t have any issues. Jenny has a little more life under her belt (unlike some of our past Pet sitter’s) so we felt very comfortable leaving her at the house, able to handle unforecast things that might come up. I’m not saying she’s old, ha ha. Just saying it’s nice to have someone a little more mature watching our house and pets. Jenny was very communicative when we were on our trip. We got photos and videos daily and updates on how they were doing. My dog didn’t even look like he was missing us.She took him for daily walks and watered some of our outdoor plants as it was warm. When we returned, the house looked better than when we left it. Thank you so much for that! We will definitely use Jenny in the future. I’m actually hesitant to write this review because I don’t want her to get more popular than she already is! Good pet/house sitters are so hard to come by. Thank you again Jenny, Eric and Julie
Courtney was truly AMAZING! She took great care of my dog while I was out of town and went above and beyond to help him feel comfortable. She was an excellent communicator and was so respectful of my home. She allowed me to enjoy my trip and not be so worried about my Dino. I will definitely book with her again and only trust her with my fur baby!
