“Chardonay and Ben are officially added to my list of dependable house and dog sitters! They took care of my two dogs, Fernando and Dolly, at my house while I was away for 4 days and I could not be more pleased. First and foremost, both the dogs were obviously well cared for and I received photo updates. From the get-go, Nando and Dolly took to Chardonay and Ben right away, and I felt reassured and could tell they were at ease with caring for dogs. Second, the house and yard were in immaculate condition when I returned. Seriously, spotless. Third, they are just super nice and great communicators both off- and online. Highly recommended!!!”

“Raven was an excellent house sitter. I didn't have to worry at all while we were away because I knew that our dog and our house were in excellent hands! Will definitely be asking her to stay again.”

“Scott did a terrific job with our two geriatric cats. He was patient, thoughtful and thorough. He left our home as clean if not cleaner than we left it. We will be utilizing his cat sitting services again soon. Thanks Scott!”

“We booked with Catherine months in advance for an 8 night at-home pet sit for our beagle, timber. Catherine was communicative and very easy to have at ours! Timber was well taken care of care of and the home was just as we left it! We appreciate you, Catherine! We know it was a long week to be away from home so we extra appreciate you!”

“Our first time using Rover was excellent and working with Ethan was the cherry on top! Communications were prompt in coordinating the care of our dogs in our home! We came back from our trip to see our dogs happy and calm. Ethan is a delightful. warm hearted person, plus a very dependable dog sitter. And our house was immaculate when we returned!”

“Ursula is seriously the best! She takes such good care of our two playful dogs as well as our house. She spends a lot of quality time with them, rather than just popping in for mealtime and walks. Always a treat when we book with Ursula ☺️”

“Michael was a wonderful dog and house sitter! We received pictures and videos daily, which were very appreciated while we were traveling. We trusted Hazel was in good hands and the house was, too! We’d definitely have Michael watch Hazel again.”

“After another sitter bailed on us, Kai came to our rescue!! Kai followed all of our instructions without any problems, seemed super patient with our silly frenchie and his antics and left our place nice and clean! Thank you so much Kai for all of your help!!”

“Donna was a fabulous house sitter. She as extremely communicative, very thorough with how she wanted to ensure that we were comfortable with her with our pup, and sent a TON of pictures and videos clearly indicating our pup was having a great time with her. We would happily have her back ANYTIME!”

“Jaycen was an excellent pet sitter. He was very conscientious, responsible, kind, and made sure that our pets received plenty of attention while we were gone.”

“Selena was a fantastic and communicative pet sitter. She assured we were updated and that our cat was safe and well taken care of. We had to unexpectedly extend our trip by a week due to illness and Selena went above and beyond to help us out, making a difficult situation much less stressful. Would recommend Selena to anyone seeking a trustworthy and reliable sitter.”

“Melinda took excellent care of our pets and home. She was communicative, dependable, and very accommodating when our plans unexpectedly changed. She even gave our cat, Tiger, her inhaler without any issues—something we were a bit nervous about, but she handled it with ease. We felt completely confident leaving everything in her hands. We'd absolutely work with her again.”

“River was great! Very communicative and happy to send pictures/updates throughout. She generously accommodated some scheduling snafus between us, and additionally was happy to come meet him before the trip to ease into things. Importantly, she was happy to ask questions as needed. Our dog requires patience and exhibits some odd (charming) traits, and she was happy to learn how to accommodate a dog like that and get to know and meet his needs. While our dog was happy to see us, he wasn't overly relieved we were back, either :)”

“Heather was fabulous! She stayed at our house with our 4 month old, high energy puppy - and I know he kept her busy! She spent a lot of time taking him on walks, playing with him and redirecting his wild puppy behavior. She was very communicative with lots of sweet updates, and took the time to come meet Ralph and spend time with him before her stay. Our house was left in perfect shape, and our pup is happy and tired. We’ll definitely be asking her back!”

“Kirby did a fantastic job watching our pup for a few days! Communication was clear and I loved receiving some updates and photos. I wouldn’t hesitate to have Kirby housesit again! Our pup was a clearly spoiled with lots of love and attention and our house was left perfectly clean. Thanks Kirby!”

“Dey was wonderful. Reliable and communicative and took great care of my senior cat. I appreciate their grounded presence and attention to detail. I'd definitely book with them again.”

“I honestly can’t say enough amazing things about Marie!! We’ve used multiple sitters on Rover before, and she is in a league of her own. She went so far above and beyond—sending tons of photos and videos, keeping our home spotless, and even helping set up a water fountain and troubleshoot our cats’ picky eating habits. It’s clear she genuinely cares. Most importantly, she loved our cats like they were her own, and that meant everything to us. She was truly an angel and we feel incredibly fortunate to have had her. We will absolutely be using her again—she deserves every bit of recognition! Thank you so much Marie!!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Richmond
Catherine was a wonderful pet sitter from start to finish. She always responded to messages quickly, was very generous with her time for preliminary meetings with us, and communicated with us extensively while we were gone—including photos—so we could see how our puppy was doing. We’re nervous pet parents but she put us at ease—we had every confidence our puppy was getting great care. Our only worry was that she might not miss us very much! We can’t recommend Catherine highly enough.

Jin was an absolutely fantastic sitter for our puppy Jojo. We could tell the two of them bonded right away and I felt so at ease leaving for the weekend because I knew she was in such good hands. He even left adorable polaroids of their time together, 10/10 experience and we hope Jojo and Jin can hangout again!

Miranda took wonderful care of our anxious Lab and made us feel completely at ease while we were away. She kept us updated with pictures and videos throughout the stay, which we really appreciated. We came home to a happy, well-cared-for pup and would absolutely recommend Miranda!

This is our second time having Carlie house and dog sit! She is so amazing. This is the longest we’ve left our dog with someone and he was both calm and happy when we got back. We were a little nervous leaving him so long, but he was in such great hands with Carlie and we loved the updates we got as well. Also our house was left in perfect condition! We will book again.
