1. Karla D.


“Karla was very attentive to my foster pup. We have a very specific regimen and there are certain details that are important to me regarding my foster’s training, specifically triggers for her. Karla was observant, respectful of my details, and asked questions to clarify as needed. This made my dog that sometimes isn’t too friendly, comfortable with her, making the transition as seamless as possible. I will use her again!”


2. Mal L.

“Mal was an awesome house/dog/chicken sitter for us! Great communication and photos of our dogs while we were on vacation. Will definitely book again.”


3. Cassie K.

“Cassie asked very good questions prior to her overnight house/pup sitting service. She arrived on time and took great care of our older dog. She even sent a couple of picture updates.”


4. Sidney R.
“Sidney is absolutely wonderful! Excellent communication with frequent “pupdates” and photos. Easily accommodated my schedule and flight change. My pups adored her and very much loved all of the attention, belly rubs and snuggles. My house was very well maintained and I returned to a spotless home and exhausted, healthy and happy pups! I would most definitely recommend Sidney and will book her in the future.”


5. Andreea P.

“Andreea is the kindest and sweetest house sitter ever! My kitties loved her so much they would greet her at the door and she went above and beyond for everything! As a first time Rover user I could not have been more happy and comforted knowing my pets and house were in great hands! Will 100% be using her if I leave town again!”


6. Rose T.

“Rose was the best sitter I could ask for!! It’s hard to leave your dog behind but I knew that mine was well cared for with Rose! She sent me daily updates with photos and asked questions if she had them. Highly recommend and I and I know my dog, Arya, will be so happy to book with Rose again!! ❤️”


7. Jeanette R.

“Jeanette is a gem! My pups were so well-loved and taken care of! She played with my big dogs and gave them lots of cuddles. She gave one of my dogs their medicine perfectly! The house was cleaner than when we left too! Love her soooo much!”


8. Karly M.

“Karly was great! She watched our 2 dogs and house while we were out of town. She took good care of our older dog especially. He needs a little extra care. She took good care of the house too. It was very clean when we got home. She even folded our laundry that was in the dryer!”


9. Nicole V.

“Nicole was my first time ever using a Rover and she made it comfortable and easy! She was great with my dog and had good communication with me before and during my time away. I felt at peace being away from my puppers knowing Nicole was taking good care of her.”

13. Jessica F.

“Jessica leaned into letting the dogs' personalities shine and feel comfortable in their own home, even planning an excursion out together for a sniff fest. Absolutely no problems all week, and upon leaving was extra kind to do some chores to make homecoming even easier. Would 100% hire again.”


14. Kate S.

“Kate cared for my dog and Guinea pig at my home 3 days and two nights . She was patient and thoughtful while caring for my rescue who needs all of that before he warms up to someone new. Have already hired her again.”

16. Haley N.
“Haley has been a pet sitter for me many times, caring for my cat, Sunny! She is kind, compassionate, and communicative, and she always sends pictures to show me how Sunny is doing, which makes being away from home a bit easier. Sunny is very comfortable with Haley too! In fact, she'll run right up to Haley to greet her, and often likes to curl up on Haley's chest. I think this is a testament to how much Haley loves animals and how lovingly she cares for them. Haley is the best!”


17. Nicky B.

“Nicky was amazing! Her communication was great…even set pictures of her and Maggie throughout her visit.”

“Edward is great with pets. He’s very loving and caring. He has a few pets of his own and is great with them. He is a hardworking individual with a great work ethic.”


19. Robert S.

“Robert is a great help when we are out of town, 3 times in the last month. Robert lives close by and is very accessible. He knows a lot about dogs and how to socialize them. He was able to walk Olive with his two dogs. Olive is well taken care of and he goes the extra mile, even putting away my grocery delivery that arrived early! Will definitely use him again.”


20. Payton M.

“Payton did awesome with both my Shiba’s. They definitely looked happy and relaxed with her and she did a great job with their eccentric personalities! Would definitely recommend her for everyone’s pets!”
