“Candace was so amazing. She has a beautiful property with tons of space that Tully absolutely loved running around on and she was so sweet and gave Tully lots of love while we were away. It was such a relief to know she was being so well taken care of, I didn't worry about her once. Thank you so much Candace!”
“Claudia was an exceptional dog sitter for our Bear. We had a fantastic experience with Claudia as our dog sitter. She went above and beyond by sending us daily updates and photos, so we always knew how he was doing. Bear was clearly comfortable and well cared for the entire time. It made our trip much easier knowing he was safe and happy. We highly recommend Claudia to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter.”
“Mya was great! My senior dog seemed very relaxed and comfortable around Mya from the very first day they met. She responded to messages promptly and kept me updated with pictures of my dog every day. Without hesitation, I would request her services in the future.”
“Good communication from Carly. A good yard for dogs to play. She has a playful boxer that was a perfect match for our boisterous staffordshire terrier and they got along great with our dogs.”
“I give my highest praise and gratitude for Hannah. She took my little shy and headstrong Staffy into her home as if she was already part of her pack. She understands canine behavior and made my Madison feel so safe and secure that I was afraid that my dog would rather stay at Hannah's house than come back home. I swear that Hannah took care of my dog better than I do, and with all the love too. The daily photos and updates that Hannah provided gave me so much peace-of-mind while out of the country for 5 weeks. Again, my highest praise goes out to her. I would recommend her care for your pet without any reservation. Madison and I love, love, love Hannah.”
“Chazity took excellent care of my Husky. My dog looked very happy so I could tell my dog enjoyed staying at her house. She is a great petsitter and will definitely use her services again. Thank you very much for taking such great care of my sweet Husky.”
“Amy took great care of our Shih Tzu. She sent several videos of him each day and stayed in communication. She even brushed his ears out at my request because they were tangled when we dropped him off. Five stars! Will use Amy again.”
“Thank you Janell for taking such good care is Maya and Vinny. They’re very anxious dogs by nature, but you calmed them down and made them very comfortable. Thank you for your kindness and care to my dogs.”
“We cannot recommend Emi highly enough! She took such wonderful care of Simba and made being away from him so much easier. Her twice-daily updates and pictures were a highlight of our day—you could see how happy, comfortable, and at home he felt with her. She gave him so much love and company, made sure he got out regularly, and even welcomed him onto her furniture and bed! Knowing he was being cared for with that level of warmth meant the world to us. We were able to enjoy our trip without worrying because we knew he was in excellent hands. Emi truly went above and beyond, and we’re so grateful we found her. We absolutely look forward to booking with her again. If you’re looking for someone who will make your dog feel loved and welcome, Emi is that person. Highly, highly recommended!”
“Kristina took care of my dog very well. Our dog was well cared for and we got daily updates and photos. She charges very reasonable price and glad I found an affordable pet care near my house in Katy.”
“Ivy had the time of her life, I’m not sure she even wanted to come home! Claudia was very knowledgeable of different breeds and their needs. I will definitely bring Ivy back again!”
“Ashley is amazing 10/10! I was very nervous about leaving our puppy with someone we didn’t know, but from the moment we met Ashley, she made us feel completely comfortable and at ease. Throughout our puppy’s stay, she kept us updated with daily messages, which gave us so much peace of mind. Her communication, care, and professionalism were outstanding. We had a wonderful experience, and we will definitely be booking with Ashley again in the future. Highly recommend!”
“I am very happy and grateful for the way Sarah handled our dog during the stay at her home. She was very knowledgeable and definitely kind. For any future boarding I will look for her.”
“This was our first time leaving our dog with Lauren- upon our first meeting we immediately felt at ease. Lauren and her partner were both so accommodating and flexible, not to mention just great people. We didn’t have any doubts or worries leaving our beloved dog with them! She sent us pictures every day and updates on how she was doing. 100% would recommend and will use again!”
“Iryna did amazing with my 11 year old blind girl. I am new to Rover and was a little nervous about leaving my dog, but Iryna was so sweet. My dog was immediately comfortable with her when we arrived and Iryna sent me pictures and updates throughout the visit. I will definitely use her again!”

Rowena was great with Pepper. We had a wonderful experience leaving Pepper with her while we were on vacation! She sent us lots of pictures and regular updates, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It was clear that she genuinely enjoyed spending time with Pepper and made sure she was well cared for and loved. Since she only takes small dogs, it also felt like a great fit for Pepper. We would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, attentive, and trustworthy dog sitter. We’ll definitely book with her again! 🐾❤️
Really can’t say enough good things 10/10 perfect! My little animals were very happy and cared for while I was away and it was better than leaving them at different kennels - esp for a long trip. Knowing they felt safe & content made my vaca 100% worry free. Wonderful photos and great comms couldn’t ask for anything more!🫶
This is the first time we have ever used Rover so we were a bit nervous about leaving our pup. Shaobi was so good with our pup and her daily pics and videos reassured us that she was in good hands. I highly recommend using Shaobi for anyone wanting a great and caring petsitter. We will definitely be using her again.
Jade was great! She made my fur babies feel very at home and made sure they had plenty of play time and potty breaks! The dogs did excellent in her care and had an absolute blast! Jade is very professional and communicative, with replies within seconds. I highly recommend her for pet sitting.
I had an exceptional experience with Me Ara From the moment we arrived, it was clear our pet would be in great hands. Communication was excellent, and we received regular updates that gave me peace of mind. Her home was very clean and well-maintained, which made me feel even more comfortable. She also have a huge yard, perfect for exercise and playtime. My pet came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. I truly appreciate the attention, patience, and love shown throughout the stay. I would absolutely recommend Ms Ara to anyone looking for a safe, caring, and comfortable environment for their pet. 🐾✨

This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
