“Char and Ben were fantastic pet sitters for my two Danes. It was obvious from the meet and greet that they had experience and were very comfortable around X-lg dogs! The communication and photos were top notch. My dogs are quirky and Char and Ben were able to work with them on their picky eating and fear of the floor register. The Danes were very content when I came home so I knew they had gotten their needs met while I was gone. Bodhi is now moping around as he misses his new buddies. Highly recommend them and will definitely use them again.”

“My shy senior cat Norman rarely trusts someone new as quickly as he did Lark. It was such a relief knowing he was not only in good hands, but enjoying cuddles, toys, brushing, and thoughtful care. That's a 10/10, from Norman and me.”

“Emily did a great job house sitting and caring for our sweet dog. She gave us regular updates with pictures and looked after our apartment. We would definitely use her again!”


“Millie was wonderful! Extremely communicative, punctual, and took care of Georgia so well. She was very respectful of our space. I would be more than happy to work with her again and to be a positive reference to anyone looking for someone to help care for their pets!”

“My husband and I couldn’t have asked for a more attentive, thoughtful, and communicative sitter for our dogs. It was a last-minute booking and our first time using a sitter, so we were a bit anxious to leave them, but from the very first meet and greet, we felt completely at ease. Anna took the time to really get to know our dogs, tuning into their individual personalities and needs. Throughout her stay, she sent thoughtful updates, photos, and videos, which reassured us that they were safe, happy, and in the best hands. We know our dogs loved their time with her — we came home to two relaxed, content pups. We wouldn’t hesitate to book Anna again and feel so lucky to have found her!”

“Crystal was amazing! Took the best care of my dog and cat while I was away, sent a bunch of photos and updates throughout the day of their adventures, and kept the house in lovely condition. I could tell she vacuumed before heading out which I SO appreciated when I got home from my trip! I’ll definitely be booking with her again if she’s available. Thank you Crystal, Pretzel and Beans miss you!”

“Chad took excellent care of our pup while we were gone for the weekend. He was communicative and sent updates of their walks daily, our house was spotless when we got home which was lovely after coming back from vacation. We would love to have him hang with our pup anytime :)”

“Shannon was great with our 5-month-old Border Collie puppies for a 3-day house/dog sit. They are a handful, and both dogs and house were in great shape, upon our return. Shannon is punctual and a solid communicator. Highly recommended.”

“Skyler was great! Did an amazing job taking care of our pups and keeping the house in one piece. Communication was on point, sending updates each day. Would definitely rebook in the future. Highly recommended!”

“Val is wonderful. She took such great care of our chihuahua and our home. Great communication and such a sweet and solid human being. The daily update with pics and videos was so valuable and provided us such peace of mind. Thanks so much Val! We’ll be calling you again!”

“Couldn’t be more pleased with Peter! He arrived early, kept me updated with pictures throughout his stay and took great care of Sunny! Will definitely book again and highly recommend.”

“River was great! Very communicative and happy to send pictures/updates throughout. She generously accommodated some scheduling snafus between us, and additionally was happy to come meet him before the trip to ease into things. Importantly, she was happy to ask questions as needed. Our dog requires patience and exhibits some odd (charming) traits, and she was happy to learn how to accommodate a dog like that and get to know and meet his needs. While our dog was happy to see us, he wasn't overly relieved we were back, either :)”

“Lucinda took great care of our home and pets while we were away on vacation. She was prompt in responding to our texts and sent plenty of updates and photos. We will book with Lucinda again!”
“I booked Helen to stay at my place and cat sit for 4 days. She communicated well, provided consistent updates, and took great care of my cats and my place. I had peace of mind for my trip. Definitely recommend!”

“I-Hsin provided the best care we could have possibly ever asked for our two fur babies. Not only is I-Hsin an incredible communicator, sending wonderful updates, they are especially in tune with every little detail of what our pups needed. We have both a 16 year old as well as a 1 year old pup, and I-Hsin was able to meet them both exactly where they were at need wise, simultaneously. Both of our dogs were cared for with loads of exercise, love, and cuddles. We could without a doubt tell upon arrival home that they would both miss having I-Hsin here with them!! We honestly couldn’t even write a review that reflects the tremendous care that was provided!!!! Thank you I-Hsin!”
“Analyss is amazing! We were in a pinch and needed a sitter for our pup Juniper - who can be a little anxious on her own. Analyss saved the day! Very communicative, chill and super sweet with our pup. We loved our updates, and came home to a happy puppy! We will definitely be calling Analyss first when we need a sitter! Highly recommend!”

“Meagan was great! It was a last minute booking during a holiday week and she just jumped right in. Poppy was feeling pretty spirited and Meagan was able to calm her down, get a harness on her. , and take her for a walk. Also, great communication!”

Overlook pet parents share their Rover experiences
Emily looked after our one year-old puppy for a couple days while we had to go out of town at the last minute. Murphy seemed happy and content when we got home and the house was in great shape. Emily also looked out for packages that got delivered and helped bring those in. Thank you so much!

Madison stayed at my home with my cat for a couple of days and was a wonderful sitter; she asks all the right questions and really goes the extra mile to understand your pet’s unique needs and preferences. I came back from my trip to a happy and relaxed kitty and a clean house, and am looking forward to booking her again!

This was my third time booking with Jordan C, and once again, he exceeded expectations. He is consistently professional, reliable, and incredibly attentive. Jordan C took amazing care of Kitty Kitty and kept me at ease by sending multiple updates with photos of their walks and downtime together at home. It’s clear that he genuinely cares about the pets he looks after, and that level of attention makes a huge difference. On top of that, he left my place just as clean and organized as I left it, which I really appreciate. I’m so grateful to have found Jordan C on Rover. If you’re reading this review and considering a sitter, look no further—Jordan C is absolutely amazing. Highly recommend!

Emily has been nothing short of amazing. I have a senior dog who takes scheduled meds, not my apartment isn't particularly low maintenance, and she's been wonderful. My dog loves her, and she sends daily updates. She was thorough in making sure she had everything she needed to care for my baby and my plants and I haven't had to stress a bit while I've been away. Would recommend her a million times over again.

Wonderful amazing human and pet caretaker I am so impressed with how much detail Elizabeth takes care of everything! She made Clauneck feel so welcomed and happy and he gets bad anxiety and she didn’t leave until I got home because he was anxious and she made him so happy the whole time! She made the house cleaner and the cat tree even nicer!!! She added nice touches to make my apartment even better for him a little scratching board too! 10/10 she is worth it and more I’m so happy Eli thank you for EVERYTHING I’m looking forward to future sits knowing I can work and not worry so much about how my cat is feeling while I’m working!

Noah was great with my dog. He showed an understanding of dog reactivity and the methods I use to manage that on walks, and asked great questions during the meet and greet. Being new to Rover, Noah also provided reviews from another platform showing his positive previous experience before I booked with him. He provided daily updates and photos, picked up the mail when I was gone, and left everything in order in the house when my trip was over. I would book with him again.
