“Ellen was absolutely amazing with my dog! From the moment we met her, it was clear how much she genuinely cares about animals. She was attentive, responsible, and went above and beyond to make sure my dog felt comfortable, safe, and loved while I was away. She kept me updated with messages and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind. It was obvious my dog was not only well taken care of, but truly happy in her care. When I came home, everything was perfect—and my dog was calm and content, which says it all. I would 100% trust Ellen again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, kind, and dedicated dog sitter!”
“Duncan was a professional and responsible caretaker. He went above and beyond our expectations when he took care of our 2 dogs Honey and Pickles for two weeks. Before even starting the job, he met us in a freezing blizzard for a simple meet + greet, which I think immediately showed his dedication to the job. He also cleaned up around our house when the dogs were making a mess, not something that we asked him to do — but rather something that he proactively did. One of our dogs, Honey, has anxiety. Duncan even stood overnight on New Years Eve just to help her stay calm during the fireworks, which I believe is something your average dog caretaker wouldn’t do! He was also very responsive with text and sent us updates every day. I felt much peace of mind because I knew Duncan was taking our two dogs on 2 walks every day, feeding them on time, and spending some time with them too. I would definitely recommend Duncan to a friend and would rebook him myself!”
“Evyn was great with Doi. Doi was a bit sick last week, but she took care of him as per the instructions and even gave him the meds. Doi was definitely comfortable with her. I will definitely recommend her for dog sitting needs.”
“Rowan was absolutely wonderful with Jasper!!! Made my anxiety with leaving him so much better. Constant check ins and great pictures 10/10 will be booking with Rowan again!!”
“Stefan was a wonderful dog sitter for our 9 year old pitbull mix! He stayed the weekend with her, caring for all her needs and providing her company. His calm energy was a great match for our pup who can be a little anxious and wary of strangers. Stefan was also a very respectful guest in our home and kept us updated regularly with photos and how she was doing. Thank you Stefan!”
“Kristen was great from the meet & greet forward. At the meet & greet when I suggested a quick walk to shiw her where we go she took the leash and started harnessing Captain up. Was responsive, pleasant and a pleasure to deal with. I set a cadence expectation on check ins and she went above and with pictures. You can tell she respected my home during the stay. The most important part of knowing she did a good job was that Captain, while estatic to see me, was mopey the next day and you can tell he misses Kristen already. I will 100% be utilizing Kristen in the future.”
“Carrie was an amazing sitter. Attentive, communicative, and punctual. She went above and beyond to make sure my Bonnie was cared for the way I would take care of her. I will be rebooking with her for sure!”
“Sieanna did an absolutely amazing, above and beyond job looking after Banjo. I loved her updates and how much I could tell she enjoyed hanging out with him. I would book again in a heartbeat!”
“Stella was amazing! She watched Franklin overnight and did such a great job keeping me updated with pictures and messages throughout the stay. That meant so much to me especially since Franklin can get pretty anxious when I am away. I felt totally at ease knowing he was in good hands. I would absolutely recommend Stella and would happily book her again! :)”
“Stephanie stayed with our cat and senior pup for a week while we were on vacation. She was so wonderful! Stephanie took great care of our boys, house, and plants. She was very communicative and gave us daily updates on how everything was going. This allowed us to relax on our vacation knowing that our pets were in good hands. We will definitely be booking Stephanie again in the future and would highly recommend her for pet/house sitting! Thank you again for everything Stephanie!”
“Leah was great with Coco during house sitting. She sent regular updates, made sure that Coco has his usual sleep- wake and eating schedule. I would definitely recommend using her services for your pet. Thanks Leah!!”
“Ashley was great! We just adopted our dog and he has some separation anxiety but he seemed to have a great time and we’re so glad he was in good hands.”
“quanece and malik were amazing !! this is my first time hiring a rover and they were incredibly thorough, communicative, and easy to work with. i don't love leaving my animals but when i have to, they'll be the first people i reach out to :)”
“Sydney is amazing! She treated my dogs like their own, kept me updated with adorable photos, and went above and beyond in every way. I came home to happy pups and total peace of mind—highly recommend!”
“Brianna was awesome! She was very responsive and easy to contact both before and throughout the sit. I received multiple updates throughout the day, along with pics. I could tell that my boys were completely at ease with her which was so reassuring. I would absolutely recommend Brianna’s dog and house-sitting services and I will definitely be using her in the future.”

Kirsten stayed in our apartment and took care of our dog for a week. Our dog is big and can be anxious, but Kirsten asked lots of questions, took detailed notes, and went above and beyond to make her comfortable. Kirsten also made communication easy while we were away. Highly recommend!!
Angela is truly a cat whisperer. We were away for almost two weeks and Angela put us at ease - sending us regular photos and updates of our three cats. It is clear that our kitties loved her. She was thorough with daily feeding and litter needs, and most importantly, did a lot of cuddle and enrichment activities with our cats. We would highly recommend Angela, and there is no doubt that we will be leveraging her again for our upcoming trips!
I would recommend Erin as a sitter. She was very detail oriented during our meet and greet. She arrived on time and departed on time. I received plenty of updates on my pup complete with the most ADORABLE photos. When I returned, my home was clean and tidy and my pup was calm and content. Overall 10/10 recommend!
Taylor has sat for our pup many times but this was her first overnight stay and it went GREAT. She stayed with Mr. Scruff for four nights and we were so thankful to not have to worry about him at all while we were gone. We got plenty of updates, she followed all of our instructions (especially important with his separation anxiety and reactivity), and was also a great houseguest. Our buddy was belly up, playing, and eating while we were away, which means he felt safe and happy — all we can ask for!
Ava was an amazing house/dog sitter for the weekend! She took amazing care of Archie and Cora and was very communicative throughout the entire process. She checked in every morning and evening and sent pictures, and we felt like the two of them were in great hands! We would definitely book Ava's services again in the future!
Mounika was absolutely wonderful! She stayed at our home with our 8-month-old puppy and provided thoughtful, regular updates throughout her stay, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. Our puppy can be quite a handful at times, but he absolutely adores her. She was patient, attentive, and clearly cared for him as if he were her own. On top of that, she helped us navigate an unexpected HVAC issue while we were gone and left our home spotless. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and would recommend her without hesitation. 100/10!
We had a wonderful experience with Layla! She took such great care of Ellie, sent lots of updates and photos, was quick to communicate, and even brought in packages that arrived while we were away. I was fully able to enjoy my time away knowing Ellie was in such good hands. She also helped with a last-minute walk request the week before our trip. She treated both our home and our pup with so much care and respect. She is reliable and trustworthy, and I would 100% recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter.
A really great sitter! Dixie was left totally tuckered out and had a great afternoon with Gabe - who was super attentive, really gentle, kind with her. Super communicative and even met up with us prior to the house sit for a meet and greet. Would definitely book with Gabe again!
