6. Krissy K.
“Krissy took great care of Otis while my wife and I were out of town. Regular updates, accommodated his picky eating habits, lots of walks and love. 10/10 would recommend for all pet/house sitting needs!”
7. Scott J.
“Scott was really great! He came in on short notice to help us out over the weekend with four dogs he had never met. They got along great and helped clean up our not so house broken puppy’s accidents. Cant thank him enough! Will be looking to him again in the future.”
8. Jenn C.
“This was the first time we used Rover for our two Shi-Poos and was a 5 night trip. Jenn was simply amazing! Normally, Cocoa takes a day or two to warm up (hiding under the bed) and Lola keeps an eye on the person...and her distance. Jenn has a magic touch and the dogs were both so comfortable they slept with her and stayed near or on her during all their activities. Jenn walked them and made sure all their basic needs were cared for and even took them on a field trip for a Pup Cup! She sent some nice pictures, had great communication with us and left the house clean with some dinner for us upon our return. What a nice treat to have someone treat your special friends as if they were her own. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED”
9. Ellen S.
“Ellen was excellent! Our dogs were calm and happy when we got home. She provided regular updates and was an overall pleasure to work with. We look forward to working with her again!”
10. Liz K.
“Liz watched our two doodles over Labor Day weekend. It was a somewhat last-minute trip, and we were grateful Liz was available and could come over for a meet and greet immediately. She sent regular pictures and updates while we were gone, and it was clear that our dogs were getting lots of love and attention. Our house was spotless, the dogs were well cared for, and I was very happy! We already booked Liz again for a longer trip next month and will definitely reach out in the future. Thanks Liz!”
11. Nancy P.
“Nancy was great with Paige. She sent pictures and kept in contact. First time using Rover. Would definitely recommend Nancy!”
12. Benjamin S.
“I have known Ben for several years now. He is caring, responsible and enjoys taking care of others so I knew he would be perfect to house sit for our two fur babies when we are out of town. He approached our “official” meet and greet with the seriousness of interviewing for his first job. He came prepared with questions about caring for our two pups and made sure he left with a great understanding of their daily routine. Our pups adore him and are always excited to see him. Knowing that our fur babies are well cared for while we are out of town gives us a peace of mind. I highly recommend Ben to anyone who needs care for their pups!”
13. Michelle M.
“Michelle is a lovely person and does quite well with our English Mastiffs! She is prompt and a great communicator. Thanks again, Michelle! :)”
14. David M.
“David was an excellent sitter. He was on time, reliable, attentive, caring, and down to Earth. Did everything I asked. I definitely would recommend him and would use his services again in the future! Thank you so much.”
15. Sarah E.
“Sarah stayed at my house and watched my small dog (who thinks she’s a baby) and 2 visiting cats. I received updates and pictures and can see that my baby was happy and in good hands. Sarah’s has a very loving demeanor that Cali took to right away. Even one of the visiting cats usually hides when new people come to the house and doesn’t like many people took a liking to her! My home was left in the same condition as I left it and lines of communication was great before, during and after her stay. I 100% felt at ease with Sarah and would highly recommend her and will definitely be using her services again.”
16. Ida C.
“Ida was very loving and attentive to my 2 large dogs while I was away. She kept me updated with photos and a video. When Harlee had some issues with her IBD, Ida went above and beyond to address the situation. Excellent care. Highly recommend.”
17. Kenyale M.
“Kenyale was amazing with my two dogs! I let her know it was our Airedale’s 4th birthday and she went above and beyond getting them gifts and throwing a little party. Felt so good knowing they were having a great time while we were gone!!”
18. Jean N.
“Jean is awesome! She came to the meet and greet prepared with a list of questions about caring for our dog and even included inquiries about our home since she was staying three nights over the Thanksgiving holiday. It has never occurred to me to let a pet sitter know where the fuse box or water shut off is. She took great care of Sadie and was very communactive. We so appreciated her. Thanks Jean!”
19. Tania F.
“Tania was outstanding! She did a great job w/ our pup and our house. Good w/ communication as well while we were gone. Would hire her again.”
20. Lois B.
“Lois was amazing with our 3 month old pup! She's really kind and Maggie simply loved her. She shared pictures and updates frequently, so we were at ease. We're so glad we found Lois!”
