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!

Becky was incredible with my dog, Foster! I was able to focus on my work trip and not worry about him and how he was doing. She gave regular photos and updates across the visit and was very responsive. Will definitely be booking with her again soon for my next trip(s). Thanks again, Becky!

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.

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 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!

Susan was great! I have an elderly anxious dog and she took great care of her while I was gone. She sent pictures and updates regularly. My dog was very happy and relaxed when we came home.

Shane is not just a devoted dog dad to two charming corgis; he's an unwavering advocate for animals. His love transcends boundaries, and he consistently goes the extra mile to ensure their safety, wellbeing, and, most importantly, their happiness. Shane's commitment to showering them with love and undivided attention is truly commendable. A genuine lover of all creatures, his compassion and care make him a standout guardian for our furry friends. I wholeheartedly recommend Shane for his exceptional dedication to the welfare of animals. 🐾 #AnimalAdvocate #DevotedDogDad

Robin is by far the best sitter I’ve ever worked with. She is incredibly detail oriented and followed my 4+ pages of instructions for my two cats, and went above and beyond to really bond with them. I got regular updates and never worried for a single second, I knew they were in the best of hands. Robin truly has a skill with and love for cats and I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone needing care. I am the type to worry when I leave my cats, and Robin soothed any concern I had, and I had a worry free vacation like I had so needed. Robin truly cares for the cats and their owners alike. She went above and beyond to change their litter and cleaned my apartment at the end. It’s something I’d never ask, but when you come home from a long day of travel, that clean apartment is the best thing to come home to. Words cannot express enough just how wonderful she is and how good she is at pet sitting. I can tell my cats already miss her, and I’m so excited for us all for when she cares for them next- without a doubt she is our new regular sitter, we all love her so much!

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 :)

Stacey was amazing with my doggos. One of the pups had only been with us for a few weeks so was a bit more rambunctious, but she was so patient and loving with him. She sent us videos and pictures daily. AND, she left our home tidier than she found it. Can't recommend enough, will definitely rebook with Stacey.

Jenna was an awesome sitter! She was extremely kind, and my 14-year-old Maltipoo warmed up to her immediately. I will definitely be calling on her again.
