“Ashley took amazing good care of both my senior dog and my home. It was great being able to travel and not worry about Dottie getting all her meds at the right time or her slightly complicated meals created. Loved getting daily updates and returned to a happy dog and clean house.”
“Words can never express my gratitude for Trina! After going on a camping trip and unexpectedly being out of range of cell service I had great comfort in knowing my fur child was with her. She went above and beyond to care and help manage while life took sits twists and turns. Highly recommend”
“Sasha was hands down the best house and pet sitter we've had. Incredible care for our home and dog was demonstrated daily during our 8 days away from home. Frequent check-ins with pics and video were much appreciated. She also rose to the occasion when we were unexpectedly delayed due to airline issues. We are super grateful to have Sasha as our new sitter!”
“This was our second time trusting Nicky to watch our dogs, and she did a fabulous job once again. During our week-and-a-half international trip, she kept us updated with plenty of photos and updates—our dogs always looked happy and healthy. When I returned, the house was tidy, the dogs were freshly brushed, their eyes were clean, and their water bowls were full. I couldn’t have asked for more peace of mind while being so far away. I have no complaints and would absolutely hire her again!”
“Dennis was a wonderful house and pet sitter for us while we were away for a week. He took good care of our two dogs and two cats so we could actually have a relaxing vacation, knowing they and our home were in good hands. We will definitely book him again.”
“She was extremely incredible with our 3 weenies who are still working on potty training! Would 100% use her again. She is super accommodating and kept us updated throughout the week. Finally had a stress free vacation thanks to her!”
“Hiring Charlii to care for our two 13-year-old dogs for eight days was one of the best pet-related decisions I've ever made. Our sweet goblins are rescues with pretty complex medical and emotional needs, and Charlii handled it all with ease. One of them struggles with being left alone for more than short periods of time, and Charlii was great about hanging out with him and taking him on little adventures when she needed to be away. Our other pup is dealing with chronic kidney disease, she can be a mess (literally), but it didn't seem to phase Charlii at all. Her daily updates were frequent, including lots of photos and videos, which really helped me relax and enjoy my vacation. She handled medication (including oral) with no problems and was very attentive to all of their other needs & quirks. We also returned to a tidy house and even some welcome-back flowers, which was lovely! After the pups joined our family and we discovered how needy they were, I was afraid that I'd never be able to leave town again. I knew there was absolutely no way I'd be comfortable boarding them after the trauma they'd experienced with abandonment and living on the streets. Charlii saved us! It was such a relief to know our guys were safe, healthy and getting lots of love while we were away. We'll definitely be having Charlii back. She has such a warm, professional demeanor and is so reliable that I'd never hesitate to recommend her. The pups and I are super grateful!”
“Elisa was tremendous with our senior shepherd. She was communicative and engaged from the moment we met her and throughout her stay with our dog. Our dog had the best weekend and was so well loved. Elisa was also kind enough to take great care of our place and take in packages. What a great experience and we look forward to working with her again!”
“Marina is great! She house/dog sat my two small older dogs for three nights. She is/was dependable, trustworthy and respectful of my house with all its little quirks. If I had a question, she answered right away and sent pictures. The house was as clean as if I'd never left. I was able to enjoy my vacation with no worries about my little dogs. My dogs were very calm and happy when I returned. I doubt they missed me at all. I would definitely hire Marina again.”
“We were nervous about leaving our doggie + home with a sitter for the first time, but Aman totally put those nerves to rest! He's incredibly responsive, thoughtful and responsible. Clearly loves dogs. I think he's honestly more careful taking care of our dog than we are sometimes – which is exactly what I look for in a sitter!! Not only did he take care of our pup, but he also helped take care of our home while we were gone (4 nights!) by watering our garden, bringing packages insides, and even taking out the trash cans on trash day. We really appreciate Aman's thoughtfulness and would definitely book with him again!”
“I had Esteban house sit to look after my big, rambunctious dog Sable for 6 days. Not only did Esteban take amazing care of my dog, he left the house in incredible condition. All my dog’s needs were met, and he sent regular pupdates. I’m a very anxious person and it was my first time using Rover, but Esteban put me at ease and I am so glad I decided to go with him. I would 100% use Esteban again if I ever leave town. I believe it’s safer and easier on my dog than boarding her at a dog hotel. You da man, Esteban!”
“Celeste watched our shih tzu at our apartment for 3 days and she gave very detailed updates along with many pictures/videos multiple times a day. She followed all instructions to a tee. She also left our apartment just as we left it and was very clean. Our dog loved her and we couldn’t recommend Celeste more for dog sitting!”
“Fuliang was always quick to respond and took great care of our dog. He was super flexible and even came early and stayed later than planned to accommodate our flight schedule.”
“Meshaal was a wonderful dog and house sitter! He has a calm demeanor and is very professional. He took excellent care of our senior dog who has some health needs and took care of all his medications with no issues. He also promptly responded to all our check in messages. Our dog loved Meshaal and and was crying when he left! Meshaal also left our house better than we left it. Looking forward to rebooking with Meshaal again in the future. Would definitely recommend Meshaal to others!”
“I was forced to take a last minute trip out of state for a memorial service. I didn’t expect to find someone to watch my babies on such short notice (3 days) nor did I expect to find someone of such high quality! Chelsea went above and beyond by ensuring my dogs had plenty of cuddles and adventures, alerting me to any abnormalities and she even cleaned the linens from the guest room where she stayed. You can rest easy knowing your babies will get extra attention and you won’t come home to a mess! THANK YOU CHELSEA ??”
“Tia is an absolute gem of a human! My babies adored her. She was attentive, caring, and so sweet! I have an XXXL dog + a medium o up & a cat & she spent time with each of them, walked the pups twice a day, and made time to play with my kitten. 10/10 recommend- she’s fantastic!”

Oak Center pet parents share their Rover experiences
Morgan is an amazing dog sitter. She took such great care of our anxious pup, making sure she had all of her favorite things — long walks, cuddles, treats, etc. Morgan was a great communicator throughout, and she took great care of our home to boot. Cannot recommend her highly enough!
Lauren was GREAT!! My fussy cat was quite taken by Lauren. Lauren was communicative, sending updates, and the sweetest photos of how these two bonded togther. AND Lauren left my home "MODEL Ready for Show! I would highly recommend Lauren to anyone needing pet care and house sitting needs!
Wendy was able to housesit my puppy after another sitter canceled on short notice, and I’m so glad it worked out that way! From the meet and greet forward it was clear she is super comfortable and experienced with dogs, and during my trip she took all the puppy shenanigans in stride, including doing quite a bit of laundry. I came home to a happy dog and a spotless house - thank you Wendy!
Chris is an amazing dog sitter, who I feel completely at ease with leaving Jojo pup with while I'm away. Chris watched Jojo for 7 nights while I was on an international hiking trip with intermittent service. He sends the best photos, takes Jojo for great walks and provides excellent communication during the sit. My house was just as I'd left it upon my return. I look forward to continuing to work with Chris. Thank you!!
Sarah watched my sometimes leash reactive dog for 7 nights while I was away on an international hiking trip with intermittent service. I felt completely at ease while traveling, due to Sarah's professionalism, amazing communication, and the way she clearly connects with and understands Jojo pup. It's such a pleasure to work with Sarah.
Elisa was great! Very conscientious and comprehensive with her daily updates! She clearly bonded very well with our dog, who seemed to be looking for her when he woke up the next day. The kitchen also seemed to be even cleaner than we left it. We've already booked with Elisa again, and highly recommend her!
We were repeat clients booking Adrianne and couldn’t be happier! Our large and playful dog was well taken care of, with everything happening on time and great communication. Loved getting all the updates and pictures, and we came home to a clean house and happy dog. She clearly also supported the dog training efforts we’re trying to stick to, and was comfortable with a big strong dog for a long weekend. Would recommend & book again!
Navaeh was amazing with Franklin! She was very responsive and made sure I got daily updates and photos of him. She was super sweet and Franklin loved his time with her. I felt super comfortable leaving my cat with her and would definitely have her stay again! Thank you so much for giving him so much love and care!!
We had a great experience with Cara. She was very mature, reliable and responsible. She clearly took really good care of the house as well. The thing I appreciated most was how communicative and responsive she was. She really listened and was always quick to reply as well as send pictures 😊
Issel has watched my dog and 2 cats twice now. She is very responsive and takes great care of them. I leave a bunch of directions about their feeding, etc. She sends me pics of them which i appreciate as I miss them.Everyone looks happy when I get home. The house is just as I left it when I return. I will not hesitate to use Issel again!
Alix was so communicative and reliable! Even when I was dealing with flight delays and difficulties scheduling my trip, I felt safe leaving my dog Sam with her. And Sam clearly loves Alix! My dog escaped out my door to try and greet Alix when she returned my keys.
