Cecilia was a great sitter to our dog Chente. She was attentive to his needs and sent daily updates via images or video. We would use her services again and would recommend her to others.

Leanne was wonderful with Ella! Ella loved having built in play buddies and lots of attention from Leanne. The communication was great and I felt confident my dog was well cared for during her stay. We will definitely use Leanne again!

Mary and her family are wonderful. Hunter had a great time playing with Mary's two dogs and running in their big backyard. He also loved all the attention he got from Mary's son who made sure he got his treats and toys to play with. We are so happy with the care Hunter received from Mary since he has to have daily medicine and she made sure not a day was missed.

Marta was a delight and I had no issues or concerns. Marta was very good at making sure everything went smoothly and keeping me current on how my dog Sandy was doing. Sandy is a very active Yellow Lab. It was also very clear to me that Sandy very muchg enjoyed playing with Marta's dog and Marta's daughter. I know that Sandy would enjoy a return visit and I would not hesitate asking Marta to sit for Sandy again.

Christine is an excellent sitter, and I look forward to booking her again. My dog, Bentley, is my world and this was the first time, he was going to stay with a non-relative. I was nervous how he would do, but after returning from my vacay, I brought home a happy & healthy dog. His overall demeanor was enough for me to know that he was well taken care of and looked after. Also, Christine’s dog, Chloe is a sweet gentle gal, and it was easy for Bentley who has only-child syndrome to get along with her.

Michelle’s home is a second home retreat for our three year old lab mix. Miles adores going to Michelle’s and it’s a great reflection of the kind care and warmth that she shows to the pets she cares for. We never hesitate to book Michelle! She has many processes in place to ensure direct communication and a safe and loving environment for the pets that she cares for. I interviewed many Rover sitters for our dog and Michelle was above and beyond the only one I felt comfortable with and she has exceeded our expectations every time. Thank you, Michelle!

Kent is a lifesaver! It was the weekend of my daughter’s wedding and I had a sitter scheduled and had even dropped my dog off. Unfortunately, my sitters dog had a medical emergency and I had to pick up my dog within hours of dropping her off. I was so nervous, having to find another sitter for a weekend stay, starting the same day, without having met the potential sitter, all while trying to finish up last minute wedding preparations. Enter Kent! I reached out to several Rover sitters as I knew it was going to be tough to find someone so last minute. Kent was one of a few to respond positively, which was amazing to actually have options at this point! I read Kent’s bio and he sounded so kind and it was apparent that he loved dogs. I am thrilled to say that he exceeded my expectations!! He and my pup, Alice, got along so well and he clearly loved her. He sent lovely updates and photos of her throughout the weekend. I will definitely be using Kent again to watch my dog. I truly couldn’t be happier with how the weekend went. I was able to fully concentrate on my daughter’s wedding without a worry about my Alice. Thank you, Kent!!

Erena is an absolute angel! The love and care she gave my cat was extremely comforting. We needed to go out of town for two months and had no one to watch Charlie. She took him into her home. Let him sleep on her bed and administered his pills twice a day. She frequently sent text and pictures and communicated and he needs that would arise. I almost don’t want to tell people how wonderful she is, but she deserves the recognition. We are extremely grateful to Erena and her husband for including Charlie into her family. Would absolutely book again if needed.

Julia helped us with a last minute weekend stay for our senior dog. She sent daily pictures with updates about how he was doing. She’s had a senior dog herself and was familiar with his medicine and was able to give the pills without a problem. Her home had no stairs, which was perfect for our dog since he has arthritis. She lives in a beautiful, quiet, safe neighborhood with minimal traffic and sidewalks perfect for walks.

Our 7 year old lab with cancer was well taken care of for 4 days by the husband and wife duo. Me and family were able to relax and enjoy our vacation since we knew Sago was in safe caring hands. Prithvi was also kind enough to send pictures of Sago every day which eased our mind even more. Sago had a fun time with their dog Loki. We highly recommend.

Thank you Jeff for taking such great care of Luna! She had a wonderful stay and came home happy, relaxed, and well cared for. We know she received plenty of attention, affection, and special care throughout her stay. Luna bonded with Jeff right away, he was patient, attentive, and experienced, especially with large dogs, like Luna, who need extra attention and handling. We felt confident knowing Luna was in such capable hands. We would highly recommend Jeff to anyone looking for someone who truly cares for big dogs with lots of energy and attention needs.

Cecilia was absolutely incredible with our dog, Ollie! From the moment we met Cecilia, it was clear how patient, kind, and genuinely caring she is. She treated Ollie with so much gentleness and made sure he felt comfortable and loved while we were away. One of the things we appreciated most were the frequent updates, photos, and check-ins — it gave us so much peace of mind knowing he was in such great hands. You can truly tell Cecilia loves animals and goes above and beyond for them. We would trust her again in a heartbeat and cannot recommend her enough!
