“Timothy house-sat our dogs for a few days and did an excellent job! He was extremely proactive in communication, sent regular picture updates, and left the house clean and tidy. We could tell the dogs had been well cared for when we returned and will absolutely plan to book pet care with Timothy in future!”


“Diamond was amazing! She is kind and patient, and has wonderful positive energy, and a bright personality. Thank you for being patient with my girl, and giving her a chance to get to know you. She’s already walked into the guest room multiple times looking for you. Lol It’s hard for me to trust her with just anyone, but you did such a wonderful job with her, that I can’t wait to book you again! A thousand thanks from me and Duchess. 🫶🏼”

“Kayla was amazing with our 3 high-maintenance Frenchies. She showed up on time, sent updates with photos, and made sure they got their care & meds as needed. We are so happy to have found her!”


“Ellie was amazing! She took Taffy on all kinds of little adventures and sent me the cutest pictures. She was super communicative and I could tell Taffy had a great time without me because she’s already went back to sleep and I just got home. Thank you Ellie!”

“Ruth has been an amazing house and pet sitter for me and my two little pups! She's kind, conscientious and overall a fantastic person and perlt caretaker! I highly recommend Ruth for all of your house and pet sitting needs! 🫶🩷🐾”

“Lidia was absolutely wonderful! From the moment we met, I felt completely comfortable leaving my pet in her care. She was dependable, communicative, and clearly has a genuine love for animals. Throughout the stay, she provided updates, photos, and peace of mind, which meant so much to me. My pet was happy, well cared for, and clearly received plenty of attention and affection. Lidia went above and beyond to make sure everything was handled perfectly. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, responsible, and kind to care for your furry family member, I cannot recommend Lidia highly enough. I will definitely be booking with her again!”

“Farah is absolutely amazing! She was so outstanding with our pup Maya! She constantly checked in and provided updates with pictures which was fantastic! Her communication was always excellent and kind! Our pup Maya absolutely adored her, and I swear she left our house cleaner than we left it! Absolutely 100/10, will book again in a heartbeat!”

“I had a great experience with Vy, who watched my dog while I was away for the weekend! She was very communicative, clean, and trustworthy! She was also flexible when my timing changed and was able to come earlier than we had originally planned. Super thankful to her and would definitely invite her to sit for us again!!”

“Brianna is great! She took amazing care of our pup, Bear. She went the extra mile all throughout - starting with a meet and greet to taking Bear on long walks and adventures. Anyone would be lucky to work with her!”

“We could not have asked for a better pet sitter! We were away for 17 days, which is a long time to leave our dogs and cat, but we felt completely at ease the entire trip. We received regular updates, photos, and messages that showed just how well our pets were being cared for. It was clear that our dogs and cat were happy, comfortable, and getting lots of attention. In fact, they looked like they were on vacation themselves! Seeing them so relaxed and content made it easy for us to enjoy our time away without worrying. The communication, professionalism, and genuine care for our pets exceeded all expectations. We are incredibly grateful and would absolutely trust them with our pets again. Highly recommend!”

“Deanna was nothing short of amazing. She took care of our pups while we were on family vacation and didn’t miss a beat. She sent constant pictures and videos and it was so nice to see updates about them while we were away.”

“Daniela was such a blessing! From day one she was very responsive and professional. I made her come to my house twice for meet and greet because i have two Dobermans and i needed them to get familiarized with her before my trip. She accomodated my last minute changes and made the whole experience so enjoyable. My dogs are very high maintenance and extremely velcro so i was worried it would be too much for Daniela but nope! Got so many pictures and updates that i didnt worry about my doggos (or my house) while i was on vacation. She went above and beyond and left the house even cleaner than how i left it. Even gave freyja a bath. Not ever booking with anyone else other than her :) happy with my first ever rover experience and very thankful i found her.”

“Tatyana was the BEST! She was so communicative and flexible. My dog was so at ease with her and she sent me lots of pictures throughout our stay. 10/10 recommend!”
“Jill took care of our 2 dogs (Pomskies) AND our sons 2 dogs (Shitzus) - and never missed a beat! Everything went great! She was prompt, skilled and communicated well and sent us pictures. Will definitely hope to have her back again!”

“Sarah took wonderful care of my dog, Kayleigh, during my recent 7-day business trip. From the beginning, she was warm, reliable, communicative, and clearly loves animals. She kept me updated with messages and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. Kayleigh was happy, well cared for, and comfortable when I returned home, and I could tell she had received lots of attention and affection. Sarah also took great care of my home and made the entire experience stress-free. I would absolutely book with Sarah again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and professional sitter through Rover!”

“Ally was great! Teddy can definitely be a handful at times, but she managed well by looking after him. Jack usually takes a while to warm up to new people, but with Ally, he opened up so quickly it felt like they had known each other forever. Ally is reliable and trustworthy which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. On top of that, she tidied up around the house and even offered to help with more before she left. I would highly recommend Ally to any and all pet owners.”

“Sama is such an amazing cat sitter! She is very professional, kind and friendly. During the meet and greet, I can tell that she truly loves cats and I believe that she took care of my two kittens as if they were her own. She is clear about what she is comfortable with, how long she will be with the cats, and when I can expect updates during the house sitting period. The cats adored her and were super happy to have someone around while I was away. I would definitely recommend Sama to anyone who needs cat sitting services, and I’m going to definitely book her services again when I go out of town :)”

Emily was amazing watching our dog, Murray! She was attentive, communicative, respectful to our home, and provided exceptional care. We appreciated the daily photos we received from her while we were on our trip. We couldn’t be happier with Emily and we are excited to use her again in the future! I highly recommend entrusting her to watch over your furry loved ones.

Jill was such a blessing to me when I went out of the country for six days and had to leave my two babies behind. She showed up on time, took her job seriously and sent frequent photos and updates to ease my mind. I work from home so my pups are used to having people around most of the day and Jill was one of the few sitters I talked with who was happy to spend a lot of time with them so they were rarely alone. She kept them, fed, gave my older dog his heart medicine and provided enough love so I came home to two relaxed, happy dogs. And best of all, I was able to enjoy some time away knowing they were in good hands.
grant was hands down the most incredible pet sitter i've ever tried ever! he was so good at communicating quickly especially with me being in the virgin islands where service is only available in certain areas. not once while i was on vacation did i have to worry about my pup because i knew he was in good hands. grant even last minute excepted to watching my pup for 2 more days due to a flight delay. grant is who i will use anytime i need a sitter. my concierge was even telling me that zeus looked so happy while in his care PLEASE make sure to take the opportunity and book if he has open availability, you will not be disappointed

Naomi always goes above and beyond to make sure our pups are well cared for while we are away. She provides structured routines, lots of love, sends plenty of updates and videos! She is also very well rounded in her knowledge and handling of all types of dog temperaments and needs; our two pups have very different care requirements (ie one with medical needs and one is a young dog with a lot of energy) and she always does a fantastic job with them both! I would highly recommend her! (-:

Aly took great care of our girls while we were away. She kept us updated throughout our trip with photos and messages, which gave us great peace of mind. She was thoughtful, reliable, and clearly cared for our pets as if they were her own. Aly also kept our home spotless, and went above and beyond by helping water our plants. We came home to happy pups and a well-cared-for house. We would gladly book with Aly again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and attentive pet sitter.

Keely was warm, friendly, and easy going when she came over before hand to meet my puppy. This was my first time using Rover and was impressed by the level of service received by Keely. She sent pictures everyday along with communication. If there were any concerns, all minor puppy behavior, she noted them via text. For example, asked how I handled my dog, an Australian Shepherd, wanting to sprint for several blocks and be an Olympic Champ (my words not hers), I gave her suggestions that have worked for me. All to say, she doesn’t hesitate to reach out and ask what works for your dog when needed. I would recommend Keely and use her services again if she is up to my energetic Australian Shepherd.
