“Kayla is a wonderful pet sitter. My older poodle girl is hesitant to meet people, but from the moment Lyla saw Kayla it was instant acceptance. She knew she could trust her. Kayla communicated with us often. She was responsible and loving towards Lyla. I would highly recommend her to anyone that needs a pet sitter. Thank you, Kayla. We appreciate the support you gave to Lyla and us.”
“Mikayla was the perfect sitter for Lyla. Lyla is an anxious pup and she knew what to do to make her feel safe. She also gave many cuddles, meds when needed, and was super supportive. She communicated with me regularly and gave great reports and pictures. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sittler.”
“Amazing dog-sitter, unselfish, goes above and beyond, loves animals (my dog, at least). I am VERY thankful for having Timothy be my dog-sitter for 5-6 days. I am almost worried my dog will leave me for him haha…💯”
“Dani was amazing. She was able to watch our 2 dogs and 2 cats. One of our dogs requires medication and extra care - Dani proved excellent at caring for everyone. She provided detailed updates on a regular basis and left the house in great shape.”
“Arleatha was wonderful with our dogs! Super dependable, great communication, and treated our dogs like her own. We felt completely at ease while we were away. Highly recommend!”
“Journey did an incredible job house sitting for us, sending us tons of updates and pictures. She is diligent and took great care of our dog and our cat. Will definitely be reaching out to her again!”
“We booked Marissa for house sitting, and we really couldn’t have picked a better sitter! She is kind, trustworthy, and a great communicator, and it was clear that our golden retriever loved her in the photo updates she sent. We will absolutely be booking her again in the future. Highly recommend!!”
“Sandi was absolutely phenomenal! She took amazing care of my two cats while I was away and went above and beyond in every possible way. My cats loved her, and I could tell how comfortable and well cared for they were the entire time. She followed their routine perfectly, handled my one cat’s medication with care, and was so thorough with everything she did. On top of that, she even cleaned my home better than I do and built a litter box enclosure for me! I felt completely at peace during my trip knowing they were in her hands. If you’re on the fence about booking her, don’t hesitate, you absolutely should. She’s responsible, compassionate, and incredibly good at what she does. I’ll definitely be hiring her again and recommending her to anyone who needs a trustworthy pet sitter.”

Ashley was caring, communicative and loving. She followed all of my instructions to a T and made sure I was updated during each and every visit. I would highly, highly recommend her!!!”

“Gruchelle was a fantastic dog sitter for my senior pup. He requires some extra love as he is on eye drops & timed medications. She did an excellent job & kept a chart to make sure he got his meds on time. Her consistent communication was appreciated as it made it easy to relax. She left my place clean and my dog was in good spirits when I got back. Highly recommend her ♡”

She was very respectful of my home and left it very clean and even cleaned the sheets. I highly recommend her and I will likely use her again!!”
“This was the first time we used Rover and Siyu was AMAZING!!! She stayed at our house for 11 days watching our older Yorkie while we were traveling.

HIGHLY recommend her if you are looking for a responsible and caring dog sitter!!! We will use her service again!”

Rice pet parents share their Rover experiences
Kamari did a great job taking care of my dog, and my friend’s dog while I was away. She followed the detailed care instructions that I left perfectly. She sent updates and pictures daily, and responded quickly whenever I reached out. I’ll definitely be reaching out to her for future services.
Victoria did an amazing job! We have six animals and have not taken a trip due to this in years. We decided to go on a two week trip, and the animals were our biggest concern. From the moment I met Victoria, I was immediately put at ease about leaving our fur babies in her hands. Any expectations I thought I had were far exceeded. Victoria sent us pictures, and updates all throughout our time away. We returned home to a sparkling clean house! The bedding was washed, and beds made. This made all the difference after being away. It was obvious that ALL of the animals were cared for with love and attention from their behavior after we came home. I cannot say enough good things about Victoria I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a true pet sitter, one who is highly dependable, professional, and most importantly, cares for your pets as if they were her own!
Tamaz house and dog sat our two big dogs for 2 weeks over the Christmas Holiday. He was always extremely respectful and timely. He took great care of our house and our dogs. We definitely plan to book him again in the future and recommend him to anyone. Thanks a bunch Tamaz!
I can’t rate Tim highly enough. We have had numerous people watch our dogs over the years (boarding, family, friends, neighbors, other Rover sitters), but this was our first time using Tim and he was far and away the best. He was very communicative, he regularly took the dogs for walks, he gave them extra attention during the fireworks, and he further went above and beyond to clean up after himself before he left.
Keely and her husband provided house/pet sitting at my home during the Christmas holiday. They arrived as promised and took care of Abby & Sophie in every respect. I received daily updates and pictures. I would not hesitate to recommend and would be delighted and relieved to have them back in the future.
We absolutely loved having Karlie sit for us! She was great with our skittish dog and made short work of becoming great friends. We’ve had her sit with Dora twice and will continue to use her in the future! We were very comfortable traveling and knowing she was there for our pup!
Zerrick was amazing! He took such great care of my babies and they adored him! It’s so hard for me to leave them but Zerrick gave me peace of mind. He was very thorough with each of my babies’ needs so I didn’t have to worry at all while they were in his care. I highly recommend Zerrick and will book him any time I travel. Thank you so much Zerrick!
Maureena was amazing! She took such great care of my two pups while I was out of town. She kept me updated every day with photos and check-ins, which gave me so much peace of mind. I really appreciate how communicative she was and how well she treated my boys. I would absolutely recommend her and will definitely be using her again.
