“Samantha was terrific with my quirky dog. She learned his vibes and personality quickly and worked well with him. She kept me informed, cleaned up after herself, and I would absolutely hire her again.”



“Katherine was an incredible sitter! She went above and beyond sending us updates and pictures of our pups while we were away. The house was in perfect condition when we got home after 9 days, and she even shoveled a big area for the dogs in the backyard after much snow fell! We will absolutely use her again in the future!”



“Jenna is an amazing dog sitter! This was her second time watching our dog Hank, and she went above and beyond. Despite the extremely cold weather, she walked Hank multiple times each day, even taking the time to put his boots and coat on, which I know can be difficult and time-consuming. She also kept our house incredibly clean, as if she wasn't even here. I highly recommend Jenna and hope our schedules align the next time we're out of town! Hank was so excited to see her enter our front door! We were, too! We know our dog and home are in excellent care with Jenna! ❤️”


“Penny was my favorite sitter so far. She was great at communicating before, during, and after the trip. She left my house almost better than it was before I left. But most importantly, she bonded with my cats. I felt completely at ease while away because I could tell by her messages and photos that she genuinely liked my cats. Bonus... She also has a sense of humor. I will definitely be booking with Penny again.”


“Paige did a good job looking after our feisty little Yorkie. When we got back she seemed happy and relaxed. Thank you for taking care of her. Will be booking her again.”


“Sergio stayed with our two big dogs over a very hot 4th of July weekend. I think it was more challenging than usual because of the heat and fireworks, but Sergio seemed to handle it very well, and the dogs and house were in good shape on our return. He sent us a few pictures along the way. Sergio seems great with dogs, is a very personable guy, trustworthy, and responsible. I'd book him again!”

“Hayley is an exceptional young lady who provided excellent care to our Oliver. She arrived on time and was able to do a meet and greet on a short notice. Hayley can be relied upon to take excellent care of your beloved pets. Oliver had a great time with Hayley and we had confidence in her skills and abilities to care for Oliver.”


“Chioma was excellent! She took wonderful care of my dog Carl, sent pics & video of him over the weekend & was great with communication throughout. Carl was so bummed when she left, I know he had the best time with her. Thank you so much!”


“Sharron was AMAZING. She sent so many photos of our boys and took the best care of them. Sharron will absolutely be our first call anytime we need someone.”


“Lacie arrived at my house just as the vet was calling me with bad news. She is kind, empathetic, and cares deeply about the pets she spends time with.”


“Anna was kind enough to stay with our dog while we were away for a long weekend. She was very communicative, sent pictures and shared details of their days. We definitely will have her again!”


“Gretchen was great! My boys were comfortable with her right away, she sent updates with photos and communicated clearly throughout the booking process and stay. She also left my house cleaner than when I left!”


“Rae did a fantastic job caring for our two kittens over the long weekend. She was prompt, kept in communications, and followed instructions. Our kittens loved having her around. We will definitely be using Rae for our next trip.”

Payne Phalen pet parents share their Rover experiences
We have rebooked with Percy multiple times now and will continue to do so as long as they’re pet sitting! They are amazing. It is such a relief to find someone who honestly cares for your pet and makes sure their needs (physical, emotional, enrichment) are being met.

This is the first time we have used Rover for our dogs’ care & Rachel made us super happy that we did! Both of our dogs loved her from the start. That is of course typical of our golden Dani but our sweet rescue dog Nyxie does not trust easily & only has a handful of people she is comfortable with. Thank heavens Rachel is in that exclusive group! Rachel took great care of our home as well when we were gone. We would not hesitate to hire Rachel again.

Katie was amazing with my super high anxiety dog who is super hard and shy. Shiloh warmed up to Katie pretty quickly and within a day was best friends with Katie. She sent me updates everyday with pictures and videos which me and my family absolutely loved. Katie stayed at my house and left the place clean, and sheets in the corner of the room. Katie is an extremely nice and responsible person, and is also really good with pets. We will be re-booking for sure.

Makayla did a great job with our dog, Danny Boy. She was timely and communicated with me as needed. She was also flexible with the start time. Danny Boy took to her immediately. He gets a little anxious and howls sometimes, which Makayla witnessed. She calmed him down and he was fine. Makayla also dispensed his allergy meds. I recommend Makayla and will use her again.

Rachel did a great job watching my toy poodle in my home while I attended a family wedding. She was able to calm and care for Dolly, who is generally afraid of strangers. Rachel let me know all was going well and I felt totally comfortable knowing all was well at home.

We enjoyed meeting Katelyn and entrusted her the care of our 15-year-old cat. Emma is a bit suspicious of new people but we hoped she and Katelyn would become friends in the 3 days we were away. Katelyn said that Emma purred a couple times on the last day. When we returned, the cat box had not been scooped for several days, and it looked like Emma's water hadn't been changed.
