“Excellent all round! Alyssa helped us on short notice by dog sitting at our house and was really great with Ollie. We would absolutely work with her again!”
“Lavinia did a wonderful job watching my dog. She took him on daily walks and kept me updated when with pictures while we were gone. It was great to not have to worry while we were gone.”
“Deja was truly so wonderful with our dog and cat for our extended trip out of town. This was their first experience with a sitter and we could tell how happy both of them were under Deja’s care. It made our trip so much easier knowing they were being well taken care of. Our dog can get pretty reactive with certain triggers and Deja did an amazing job handling that and making sure they were properly accustomed to each other beforehand. She was super attentive to detail and provided consistent updates and photos. We couldn’t have asked for a better person to take care of our fur babies!!!”
“Emily took great care of both our dog and our home. This was our first time taking a trip away from our dog in our new home, and we were put at ease knowing Emily was taking care of things.”
“Draco spent some time with Bethany this past weekend. She was amazing. Communicated amazingly and sent a ton of photos which I appreciate. I was super nervous leaving him but it seem like it went really well and he was happy when we got back to get him. We will be leaving him for 10 days coming up and after this past weekend it has put me at such ease knowing he is going somewhere he is loved and cared for.”
“I felt very secure in leaving my dog with Ona as my first big trip away from her for 2 weeks! Ona was communicative, caring and flexible to meet everything I was needing while away. I returned to a very happy dog! Highly recommend her services!”
“I can’t begin to share how reliable and helpful Alicia was. This was a last minute house sitting for our pup and she was so helpful and kind. She’s walked her often and sent us pictures and even helped us take our trash out while we were out even though she didn’t have to. She’s a true gem and we cannot recommend her enough!”
“We were so pleased with Carla's communication with us and, more importantly, her time with our pups. The dogs were happy when we got home. The house was in great shape. The overnight linens were washed and dried - WOW! What a great first time experience with Carla and with Rover!”
“We were so happy to have found Kelli to watch our beagle and 2 cats while we were away for 5 days. Her communication was great, with many updates and pics, and we came home to happy pets and she even washed her sheets. Would definitely have her sit for us again!”
“Nikole was amazing! She house sat our two dogs and even looked after my cats while I was away for the holiday. She sent me pictures and kept me updated the whole time. She even took the pups out to the park which they love. Came home to my house perfect and the dogs happy and calm! She even left a sweet Christmas card, definitely rebooking for future out of town events!”
“Short notice trip. Regular sitter was on vacation. Found Emily on Rover. Phone interview followed by meeting at the house to introduce dogs. Emily was PHENOMENAL. Constant updates and photos. She's a keeper!”
“Linden was amazing. We had a last minute need for a dog sitter. It was our first time leaving the pup with someone we didn’t know and we were so nervous. Linden was on time, willingly drove to our house for a meet and greet, and sent tons of photos. We’re first time dog parents and our pup is our world. We don’t leave him home alone and let him go inside/outside all day as he pleases - Linden didn’t blink an eye at all of our requests, including not leaving the dog alone, letting him play with his friends, leaving door open for yard access, etc. He even came at 4am, so I could catch a flight, and walked the dog when I left to help him calm down. At 4am - seriously, a mensch. We are so happy to have found Linden and will definitely be using him for dog sitting in the future.”
“David is the first sitter we have used on Rover for our dogs and cat, while we were away for the weekend. He is phenomenal; our nervous pups took to him immediately and I got pics of relaxed, cuddling dogs - and our GSD is not typically a cuddler so this was even more remarkable. All the pets were calm and happy when we came home. He took great care of our home as well. We will definitely rebook! We are very happy with his care.”
“I'm so thankful that John was able to care for my dog, especially during the holidays! John was very respectful and kind; trying to maintain my dog's daily routine while we were away. My dog can also be a bit difficult in warming up to strangers and with other dogs, but John was great at understanding and working with Wally's behavior. Would recommend John's services at any time!”
“Nina was a great sitter for our three dogs. Even before the booking and meet/greet, she asked questions to get to know our dogs and their routines. She’s very thorough and detailed. Nina communicated throughout the stay with pictures and updates on how they were doing. She kept the house clean also. Would recommend and book again!”
“Suzanne was a terrific dog sitter for us! Punctual, communicative, trustworthy and friendly, we knew our pups would be in good hands. Suzanne provided us with several photos, videos and updates, all of which were much appreciated as we don’t often have folks stay with our dogs. We were able to fully rest and relax away from home, knowing our dogs were in loving hands!”
“Ricky "petsat" our elderly dog and 2 cats in our home for 4 nights and they were well taken care of. Our dog requires multiple medications and Ricky was comfortable with administering. He didn't balk at cleaning up little cat puke! He is quick with communicating and sent us photo updates. I felt comfortable that our fur babies were being well cared for. Thank you Ricky.”
“Jessie was available to house sit our pets at the last minute and we are so grateful! She was so communicative while we were gone and sent many pics. We will definitely reach out to her again for future needs. Thanks, Jessie!”

I had a Rover cancel last minute and Lauren saved the day by being very flexible and communicative. I usually like to do a meet and greet beforehand but the timing wouldn’t allow it given our calendars and the short timeline. Lauren made herself available to text and I felt comfortable leaving my home and pets in her care. She sent pictures everyday and I came home to a very kind note. Hope to book her again and would recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter!
It was such a relief having Hannah sit with our dog while in Rochester for an event which required our absence for long stretches of time. She was flexible with our schedule and sent us a video of how he settled in after we left. She carefully considered our requests and made suggestions based off of her knowledge of the area so that our dog would have an optimal experience - much appreciated! We are very happy with the care that she provided and will definitely request her again whenever we are in the area. Thank you again, Hannah!
John was fantastic with our pets. We have two big dogs - one with some separation anxiety and the other is dog-reactive. He took excellent care of them and was exceptionally communicative and responsive - all the things that allowed us to enjoy our weekend away and know that our beloved pets were in good hands.
Our pet sitter that we had for many years moved away and we needed to find someone. I had heard of Rover but did not know much about it. I decided to try it. When I read Komal’s information, I just had a good feeling about her. We had a meet and greet and I knew right away this was a good fit for my fur babies. My male golden retriever is a bit emotional, and she just knew what to do to calm him down. She sent us pictures daily and that was so important to me. She went above and beyond doing extra things around my house! She was so sweet to deal with. I threw her a lot of information, and she was very patient with me. The house was clean and tidy when we got home with happy pups and a happy kitty! I will definitely use Komal again when we go away!🐶
Maria is amazing! We have been repeat clients because she always takes great care of our dogs, and they absolutely love her! She provides us with at least a couple check-ins daily and plenty of photos to show how happy and well taken care of they are while we are out of town ☺️
I can’t recommend Izzy highly enough! She took exceptional care of my dog and cat while I was away. My dog can be a bit reactive, but Izzy handled her with calm confidence—walking her two to three times a day and playing enriching games to keep her engaged. She also made sure my cat was well entertained (even using a tablet!) and administered her medication with no trouble. When my flight home was unexpectedly canceled, Izzy rearranged her schedule and stayed an extra night without hesitation. It was such a relief to know my animals were safe, happy, and not alone during what turned out to be a stressful trip home. Izzy is reliable, caring, and clearly has a deep understanding of animals. I’m so grateful for her and wouldn’t hesitate to book her again.
Nina was a great sitter for our three dogs. Even before the booking and meet/greet, she asked questions to get to know our dogs and their routines. She’s very thorough and detailed. Nina communicated throughout the stay with pictures and updates on how they were doing. She kept the house clean also. Would recommend and book again!
Emily went above and beyond in caring for our pets! She frequently communicated and sent pics. The animals looked well loved and happy giving us peace of mind. She also took care of unexpected problems with our pool and home without worrying us about it until she had found solutions to keep our stress low. She is the best!
Annaliese made an initial visit with Chester to get to know him. Chester is 14 and has mobility issues so we talked about his requirements while we were away for about six hours. We were impressed with her approach to Chester - he's sometimes protective when visitors come into the house. They got along great! It turned out we had to cancel our plans so we didn't need a sitter. However, I wouldn't hesitate having Annaliese as a pet sitter.
I have booked Emalee for overnight dog sitting a number of times now. She is my go to when I am out of town and I want to rest easy knowing my pup is well cared for when I am gone. Thank you for treating her like one of your own. Not to mention the updates are so reassuring to get. Emalee is so respectful of the house and the space going above and beyond to make sure things are left tidy!!
Rohila was super responsive and great with our dog, who unexpectedly got really upset we were gone and ended up being a handful. The cats--even our normally super shy and nervous one--seemed calm and happy when we got back. And I couldn't even tell someone had been staying in our house. Thanks so much for everything, Rohila!
Helen was wonderful with our puppy Ayla and treated her like one of her own. We really appreciated the updates and adorable photos, it gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It’s obvious that she’s a dog lover and is fantastic with animals. We would absolutely recommend her to everyone!
