“Channing cared for my dog for 11 days. She not only fed, walked and spent time with him, but also took him to a local park to play, and slept overnight at my apt as her schedule allowed. I knew he was in great hands, and she even took in my mail. Thank-you & woof woof Channing!”
“Preaundrea has watched Sammy a couple of times now and has done a great job. She is very attentive, making sure she checks with me if she notices something out of the ordinary like his allergies. She is a good communicator and makes sure to send updates and photos. I am happy to know Sammy is well taken care of when I am away.”
“SJ was fantastic! They took such good care of our cats while we were out of town. Very responsive, caring and responsible, we will definitely be using SJ again!”
“Naya is a repeat house sitter for my big silly pit mix and my elderly cat. She does an incredible job of following all instructions and balancing the needs of my dog and senior cat. We trust Naya!”
“Natalie stayed over for several days while I was away and took amazing care of my cat and home. She is so reliable, kind, and professional. I would highly recommend her!”
“Brianna is an amazing Catsitter! Not only did my cats really love her but she was amazing at sending updates and being attentive towards them and their needs! Will definitely be booking her again for my future cat sitting needs!”
“Maria is a fantastic pet sitter who treats your pets and your home like it's her own. She follows instructions and sends plenty pictures of my pets often. She is by far the best sitter I have hired and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a pet/house sitter.”
“Emily is great! She sent continual updates and pictures throughout her time house sitting. It was clear that besides regular walks she also spent lots of time hanging out and cuddling with my dog, who is very affectionate and needs the attention. Would definitely book again!”
“James has dog sat for us multiple times now! He sends frequent updates about how the dogs are doing and makes sure our home is well taken care of. We are confident our dogs are happy and cared for when James is with them and will continue to work with him whenever possible!”
“Kathleen took great care of our senior cat and our home. She navigated some technical challenges with our alarm system with professionalism and good humor. Highly recommend. Will definitely re-book.”
“Jenna took care of my 15 year old dog, Missy. Went out of town for the holidays and Jenna helped us out with last minute pet sitting. Jenna was very understanding when our plane was delayed. We let her know that we would be later in picking up Missy. She was very accommodating. Jenna responded quickly with messages. Would recommend Jenna as your pet sitter.”
“Just wow. Emily stayed at our home for a little over a week and cared for dog like he was her own. Our dog is anxious and has leash reactivity as well as some long term health issues. She was knowledgeable in handling him and managed his daily med administrations. Emily also went above and beyond by doing two in-person meet ups to get acquainted with Bouldin, snuggled with him, and bathed him prior to our return. We will be a customer of Emily's for as long as she will have us. Light years better than any dog resort/boarding facility.”
“Ned is the best! I was away for 10 days and they did a fantastic job of my cat, my apartment, and the plants I neglect on a regular basis. Absolutely recommend you hire them for your pet sitting needs!”
“Gavin is the absolute best! He cares so much and gives thorough updates on our pups, which allows for such peace of mind while we are away from them. Our girls would welcome him back anytime!”
“Taya did such an amazing job watching our new rescue Boh, who’s a lot to handle right now. And Rico our little elderly gentleman- two totally different dogs at once. THE BEST PART was she stayed overnight with them, neither dog has ever been left alone so I was so appreciative she did that for us. All instructions were followed meticulously and we have already rebooked her for a trip when we are out of the country in 30 days. 10/10 would recommend her all day as your go to pet guru.”
“Hannah was a fantastic dog and house sitter! She was responsive, professional, great with our dogs, and left our home in perfect condition. Our dogs love her! We definitely will become repeat customers. Thank you for everything Hannah!”
“Jessica took great care of my dog and my house. I really appreciated the thorough updates and she sent lots of photos. My dog seemed comfortable and I did not stress while I was away. Would definitely book again.”
“Lanis took excellent care of my pup… updated me every day… sent pics and videos… he was very happy, which makes me happy… We live in an apartment and she walked him on his regular schedule, worked with the front desk people well -‘and all around did an excellent job taking care of him…”
Old Town Area pet parents share their Rover experiences
SJ is outstanding. He goes above and beyond. I had not been away in 6 months and SJ stayed overnight with Julietta and I knew that he would talk with her , engage her. I was updated with photos and reports and was certain that SJ was able to handle anything that required maturity and experience.
Catherine is a wonderful sitter who always takes great care of my pets, and she goes above and beyond. Whenever something comes up, whether it be one of my pet's quirks, or a last minute travel plan emergency, she takes it in her stride and comes through! Reliable and kind with animals, cannot recommend enough :)
Kathleen stayed with our pets for a long weekend - a dog (often reactive to other dogs) and 2 indoor cats. Everything went very smoothly. We were kept informed with texts and pictures and none of the pets looked like they missed us AT ALL!! The dog even slept with Kathleen one night. When we got home, it was apparent Kathleen had cleaned up our house, leaving us very little to do which was a hugely welcome gift from her. We definitely will book with Kathleen again.
Jenna was fantastic and very communicative throughout the entire process. They stayed with our cat Zeppelin and we could tell that he had a great time and was very well cared for when we got back. Picture updates, even watered out garden, we couldn’t have asked for more. Thank you Jenna!!
We took a chance on Amy after we had a bad experience with a previous sitter, and we are so glad we did. Amy has such a cool and calm vibe and energy. I immediately felt comfortable with her, and so did Rani! She made sure she kept in touch regularly and asked questions to make sure everything went well. She even cleaned our house and washed our sheets before we came home! She also texted us after she left to make sure we arrived home okay and that our dog was not left alone. I cannot recommend Amy enough. She just moved to the area which is why she doesn't have any recent reviews but she's awesome!
We rank Zach as #1 for housesitting, dog and cat care. Absolutely prefect! Even our reactive dogs immediately felt comfortable with him. They were instantly comfortable and warm. When we came home, they had zero signs of stress, just relaxed happiness. Our cat usually won't come out for visitors at all, just hides in the basement. She was out purring around Zach almost immediately. Must be an aura of something. Great, twice daily communication. 100% reliable. Incredible value for money. We're booking him for our next trip away right now!
Courtney was so great! She stayed with our dog at our home while we were out of town (which was a fairly last minute request from us) and took such good care of her. Loved getting the sweet pictures and videos too. Highly recommend and can’t wait to have Courtney back again!!
