1. Maria P.
“Maria was so sweet to my fur babies! Hellboy is aptly names and even he warmed up to her! She was thoughtful and a great communicator. My place was a wreck due to moving out of state in a few days from the trip, packing boxes, and broken oven from the night before - she sailed through it without a pause. Total trooper! I recommend her without hesitation!”
2. Amber K.
“Amber is so caring and attentive to our 3 elderly dogs. We went out of town for 4 days and she sent us frequent pictures and updates. 5/5 or if I could giver her a 10/10!! We’ll definitely be booking her again!”
3. Abigail C.
“We are very grateful to have found someone in our community to help us with our senior dog. Abigail is very present and mindful. She is a great communicator and really tuned into our beloved dogs needs. She was able to come at last minute notice and left a very low footprint in our home. The pictures she sent of our beloved pet was absolutely bonus. We will definitely contact her again.”
4. Aleta M.
“Aleta is truly exceptional when it comes to caring for animals. I’ve known her for many years, and her empathy for pets is unmatched. She treats each one as an individual, taking the time to understand their unique needs and personalities. I’ve seen her work with shy dogs, helping them come out of their shell, and she’s amazing at providing energetic playtime for more active pets. Her passion for animals shines through in everything she does. Whether it’s giving medication or cuddling up for some quiet time, Aleta always knows exactly what each pet needs.”
5. Ginger T.
“Ginger is the best dog sitter we have ever used! Even before arriving, she texted us to let us know that she would be at our rental house an hour before requested to get familiar with our dogs. We have two young rescue dogs who love to play and can be rambunctious and Ginger was loving and gentle with them. She sent pictures each day and also texted to let us know how they were doing. Ginger followed every directive we left and went above and beyond by washing their dishes and toys each day. In addition to taking excellent care of the house and the dogs, Ginger also became our travel agent during our stay and gave us fabulous suggestions on places to visit from Asheville to Cades Cove. One day, we were a little late getting back because we went to one of her suggested sites and I texted her to apologize but Ginger immediately texted me back and said not to worry but to enjoy ourselves. She is a true professional and an incredibly caring person. When we return, Ginger is the only person I trust to watch my fur babies.”
6. Hayley S.
“It was my first time using Rover and of course I was nervous about leaving my 2 not so little soul mates, Olive & Kipper! After I messaged Hayley she quickly responded and suggested we met in a public park so she could meet them. At first meeting I was blown away by her professionalism and her instant love for my puppachino’s! Whilst away she sent several updates of how they were doing, along with adorable pictures of everyone playing and snuggling! I was able to enjoy my trip away to New England knowing that they were being loved so wonderfully! Upon returning home, Hayley had even gone above and beyond looking after our home as well. My instructions were “as long as my babies are thriving then nothing else matters”, however she had kept the place beautifully tidy (I’m a bit OCD with having a clean home, and I was impressed). I cannot tell you how happy I am knowing that I have someone I trust with my two 70lbs pitbull love bugs! I’d recommend Hayley to anyone and everyone!! She truly is special ?”
7. MEREDITH C.
“This was my first experience using Rover, and Meredith and her husband made it a fantastic one. Communication was great, dependability was great, knowledge was great, but the absolute best part was seeing how much they enjoyed Atlas and Izzy. It’s a huge blessing to be able to leave and know my fur babies are well cared for and are having fun. Atlas even went on a hike!!! I am so appreciative for Meredith and the care she provided.”
8. Kayla A.
“Kayla is a very responsive individual. She answered my messages promptly, showed up on time, took good care of our pets in the manner in which we requested, and we couldn’t have been more happy with her! She did bring her one year old with her as we discussed and it wasn’t a problem at all. She still provided excellent care to our four legged friends too. She sends pics daily. Highly recommended, and we will surely use her again!”
9. Elizabeth C.
“Liz was great with Sam! Our dog is admittedly a little tricky with new people but Liz was awesome with Sam and had her out on walks and treated our house so well. Would totally recommend her!”
10. Katherine G.
“Kate took great care of our dogs while we were on vacation! This was our first time using Rover and a pet sitter to stay at our home and we felt completely comfortable and will definitely use Kate again. She treated our home with care and respect and was also so good with the dogs and their needs. We received pictures and video updates throughout our time away that really helped us feel connected. We returned home to two happy pups. We would highly recommend Kate to anyone looking for a reliable pet sitter.”
11. Brenda T.
“Brenda was excellent with my Sam. Couldn’t have found a more wonderful person. She took the best care of Sam anyone could have ask for . If you are looking for a sitter Brenda is the best.”
12. Kayla W.
“Excellent daily communication including pics of our pups. They had walks and snuggles. Once we were home, they even went looking for Kayla in the spare bedroom. They clearly bonded in the sweetest way. Highly recommend Kayla, and we have already confirmed her for our travel next week. Our pups love her. A true gem! ~Lisa Ann & Miguel”
13. Adrienne M.
“I know Adrienne to be very conscientious and responsible. She has taken care of my home and dog while I was away and I can vouch for her compassionate care for animals and her trustworthiness. She lovingly doted on my elderly dog and I would completely trust her to take great care of anyone's pets.”
14. Julie C.
“Julie did a great job taking care of my two dogs, Rowdy and Oliver for over a week. She made certain that they got their exercise by visibly taking them on multiple walks a day. When I returned the house was spotless and my boys were happy. I couldn't imagine anybody doing a better job than Julie did. We will use her and only her in the future to look after them.”
15. Gillian L.
“Gillian was amazing with both our pup and our cat. 10/10 would recommend her! Was extremely accommodating of our pup who has some separation anxiety and put up with the cat lol. Cannot thank her enough!!!”
16. Karen G.
“Karen was beyond amazing with my dog. Stayed at my house and made sure she had all her daily meds and plenty of potty breaks. Took great care of her! Will for sure book again!”
17. Christine G.
“For the first time since having our two German Short Haired pointers we were in a situation where we needed someone we did not know to watch out dogs for us while we travelled for Thanksgiving. Like many of you our dogs might as well be our children so this left us with a good bit of anxiety. We met Christine through Rover and we could not have been happier with her. She visited our home to meet our pups and get a good understanding of their routine. Christine stayed at our home for 2 nights and gave us updates on how things were going. Christine is a pro and very experienced. We will continue to use her whenever we need to have our dogs watched. Thank you Christine!”
18. Justin H.
“Justin is very reliable and sent us regular communications and and videos of our puppy. I would request Justin as a house sitter and pet sitter in the future.”
19. Kristen G.
“Kristen did an excellent job. She is on time and cares for your Dogs as if they are her own. Thank you for going the extra mile for our fur babies”
20. Megan C.
“Megan is a wonderful dog sitter. We had great peace of mind leaving town knowing our pooch would be in good hands. Megan is very responsible and kind.”
