2. Emily E.

“Emily was a great communicator, took good care of our doggies, and didn’t give in to our hungry beagles who kept asking for second and third dinners! Lol. Thanks Emily!”


3. Philip S.

“Philip was great with my dog, followed instructions perfectly to make sure she had her routine while I was away for travel. He was patient with me and my concerns and was always sending pictures and updates which put my mind at ease.”


4. Bryanna B.


“My husband and I were apprehensive about leaving our two dogs for extended period, not to mention having more or less a stranger staying in our home for same period, but just a few minutes after meeting Bryanna, our minds were put at ease. Her experience caring for elder dogs, high energy for engaging the not so old was a perfect fit. Add to this her excellent communication skills, professionalism and overall delightful demeanor- Bryanna was and is every bit (and more) FIVE STARS! ⭐️”


5. Brad B.

“Best pet sitter. We’ve used Brad for a while now to watch our beloved Husky when we are out of town. I trust him with our house and our dog. He keeps us updated and we always come home to a happy pup.”


6. Emily S.

“Emily is a great choice! Both of my dogs were very comfortable with her. She is confident and kind. Emily sent lots of photos and updates. She took great care of my home as well.”


7. Eric P.

“Eric is truly the best pet sitter I've ever had! He goes above and beyond every time he stays at my home. Not only did he take amazing care of Bert and Ernie, but he also picked up my packages and even changed the sheets before I got home—without me even asking! I love how he keeps me updated throughout his stay, which gives me peace of mind when I'm away. Eric's attention to detail and genuine care for my pets is unmatched. Highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable, thoughtful, and caring sitter!”


8. Salina D.

“Salina was great with our dog and cat! We booked her last minute and she stayed at our house with her sweet dog. Our dog was so happy to have a friend to play with for the weekend and Salina sent lots of pictures and was communicative the whole time. For our first time using Rover, we were very happy. You can tell Salina loves animals and is passionate about providing them great care.”


9. Kim P.

“Kim was thoughtful, punctual, and very kind. Went above and beyond in her communication and took excellent care of Axel. Definitely would recommend her care!”




10. Melanie K.

“Melanie took fabulous care of Tanner, our senior dog. She was very communicative, thoughful and reliable. She kept us informed, responded quickly, and left our home spotless. I would definitely not hesitate to use her again and Tanner was far better off being home in his normal routine versus being boarded.”


11. Alexis P.

“Super glad we found Alexis. After moving here, finding a new sitter for our Zeus was a top priority. She’s now our go to! Super reliable and makes sure we’re well informed while we’re away. Can’t recommend her enough!”


12. Christie W.
“Christie was a pleasure to work with! Very professional, respectful, and responds right away. I was gone just 2 days and she was able to get one of my dogs to open up to her real fast. She kept me updated each visit with photos and messages. Will definitely keep her in mind when traveling. And of course highly recommend her to anyone else who needs a sitter for their pets! Thank you again Christie!”


13. Jeff V.

“Cannot recommend Jeff enough! He put both me and my anxious pup at ease. He provided many updates and did great meeting the needs of an energetic dog. Will not hesitate to book again”


14. Shannon D.

“Shannon is the absolute best rover I’ve ever booked! One of our dogs is a rescue and has issues with resource guarding and reactiveness, and from the start Shannon made me feel like she understands what rescue dogs go through and how to make the comfortable around her. Just from talking to her at the meet and greet, I felt very confident about having her watch my dogs and house while being gone for over a week. She sent very detailed reports and tons of pictures every day, walked them almost every day, followed instructions for watering plants and grass, and was very professional with her communication. Right before we left, our rescue dog had a medical issue and Shannon was able to administer drops into his ears without using a muzzle or eliciting a reactive response from him. I was so impressed with her ability to earn his trust and treat him with such love and care! I will definitely be reaching out to book Shannon in the future!”


15. Corey W.
“I cannot recommend Corey enough as a dog sitter! From the moment we met, it was clear how much he genuinely loves and understands dogs. My dog, Tilly, can be a handful and Corey is patient, kind, and takes the time to read all my crazy instructions. Tilly loves Corey (probably more that she loves me) and gets so excited to see him. While I was away, I received daily updates, adorable photos, and even funny stories about their adventures together. I came home to a happy, relaxed, and well-cared-for dog, which speaks volumes about the care and attention Corey provided. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, responsible, and truly dedicated to keeping your pup safe, Corey is your guy!”


16. Helen MacMillan R.

“Helen took wonderful care of our pups and our home. She kept us well informed and we felt comfortable throughout our short trip that Brantley & Kona were in great hands. We’ll definitely ask Helen to sit again!”


17. Marcus G.
“Marcus took the best care of my senior dog, Baloo. Because of his old ago, Baloo required lots of special attention. He was very careful guiding him down the stairs and playing gently with him. Highly recommend Marcus to look after your pup!”


18. Anvesha R.

“Anvesha is amazing! It was my first time leaving my puppy for an overnight trip, and I’m so glad that I trusted Anvesha to take care of my girl. She’s so communicative and attentive, and took care of my dog as if she were her own. I highly recommend her!”


19. Lanie C.

“Lanie was amazing. This is my first time using rover, and I was very nervous at first and quickly realized my cat and dog were in amazing hands. She communicated well, kept me updated on my pets, and left them both and my home in amazing condition. Not to mention the way both of my pets who are shy were relaxed with her was proof enough that they also felt very safe with her. 10/10 recommend.”


20. Ellie H.
“Ellie was great! It’s always a little nerve wracking when you use a sitter for the first time but Ellie stayed at our home for 4 nights, took care of our mail and plants along with being an attentive buddy to our precious fur babies. She kept us informed with pics and was responsive to any texts I sent her. We will definitely use her again!”
