“Dani did an excellent job of pet sitting our puppy and cats for a just over a week. Loved seeing them all happy on the daily photos she forwarded to us. She kept me updated on them and did an impromptu trip to the vets for medication for one of my cats. Felt very happy they were all in good hands.”
“Kendall was amazing! She sent me lots of pictures of Poppy and was very quick to respond when I checked in on her. She is very kind and cares so much about the pets she watches! I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a house/dogsitter :)”
“Christian took exceptional care of our dogs during our weekend work trip. He sent us daily picture updates and provided a detailed report chart of each dog’s behavior, including their eating habits, potty breaks, and overall attitude. His tidiness was evident as he left our house very clean. We highly recommend Christian’s services and would definitely rebook with him in the future!”
“She’s awesome! Took such good care of Kobe and Teddy and even left the place super tidy. You can tell she really loves dogs. Gave us peace of mind and made sure we were updated all the time”
“Lizzy was absolutely phenomenal! This was our first time using rover and she exceeded our expectations! Our dogs had the best time with her and she kept us updated our whole trip. I can’t thank her enough for being so wonderful!!”
“Stephanie was so wonderful with my dogs. She was very communicative and sent pictures and let me know everything she was doing. It’s so appreciated when you leave your babies at home with someone new. She also left my home probably cleaner than I left it which was very sweet and thoughtful. I would definitely use Stephanie again.”
“Farah was amazing with my 3 big dogs. She was actually able to walk them every day! They have big personalities but she did a great job keeping them calm. She also provided tons of updates so I always knew they were doing ok.”
“Marilyn was absolutely amazing, and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter. From the very beginning, she communicated exceptionally well, was incredibly organized, and immediately made me feel comfortable leaving my dog in her care. I have a senior Chihuahua who requires a lot of patience, understanding, and personal space, and Marilyn took the time to learn his personality and understand what he was comfortable with rather than trying to rush the process. It was clear that she genuinely cared about making him feel safe and secure. She kept me updated, was attentive to his needs, and handled him with so much patience and kindness. Knowing he was with someone who respected his boundaries and took the time to earn his trust gave me complete peace of mind. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Marilyn did an outstanding job, and I would absolutely book with her again.”
“Anastasia was very professional and provided excellent updates on everything from bathroom breaks to eating and even noticed a potential ear infection. Her attention to detail and care for my dog was greatly appreciated.”
“I had such a great experience with Sara! She went above and beyond from the very start—arriving early and keeping Roux happily distracted while I took care of some last-minute trip details. It made my departure so much less stressful.Throughout the stay, she sent thoughtful updates and pictures, which I really appreciated—it was such a comfort to know Roux was in good hands. She was extremely responsible, paid close attention to all the details about Roux’s routines, feedings, and medications, and really listened to everything I shared. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, dependable, and attentive pet sitter!”
“Jill takes great care of me when my parents are away!! She takes lots of photos of me playing and being silly with the zoomies. I'm so excited to see her. Hugs and sniffs, Higgins”
“Oceana is very reliable and attentive to detail. She took great care of our lab and home while we were away! I would highly recommend her for house/pet sitting and all your pet care needs.”
“Deanna did an amazing job looking after our home and our animals while we were away. She looked after them like they were her own. Lots of communication and updates throughout our trip let us know things were well taken care of at home. We’ll definitely be using her again in the future!”
“Sorry I’m a little late in giving this review…..life got in the way….Lisa was absolutely wonderful with our Lab, Koa. We will definitely request her over and over whenever we have the opportunity to travel again. Thank you so much Rover for providing us with such a wonderful young lady”
“Carolina is amazing. She took great care of Willy and went the extra yard to ensure that he was happy. We trusted her implicitly with two special assets: Willy and our home. She did not disappoint on either front. We are already on the list for 3 dates in the future. That in itself is the strongest recommendation that we can make.”
“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!”
“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…💯”
“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.”
“Stephanie took great care of my cats while I was away. She was able to follow all instructions I left about picking up and dropping off the keys and fob, and gave me plenty of daily updates. I’d greatly recommend her services!”

Ellie is GREAT! She is super communicative, sent lots of pictures and videos, and was very patient with my two dogs for her weekend stay with them. One is a little nervous around people, and Ellie was very sweet with him and got him to open up and trust her. Would recommend to anyone and will def book again!
Lauren did a great job. She was super attentive to all of our animals and they loved her. Moving forward we can’t imagine using anyone else ever again. Usually when we come home our dogs are restless, this time around it was the exact opposite. She took them out on schedule and played with all of them regularly to keep them stimulated. If you need a sitter who truly loves animals, book Lauren, you won’t regret it.
Shirav took care of my cat for a week, and I really loved her help! She made an effort to find the right approach to my cat, and she absolutely succeeded. I’m sure my cat was happy while I was away. She also sent me lots of photos and videos, which was very reassuring and helpful. I would definitely recommend Shirav as a cat sitter, and I’ll definitely book her again in the future!
Maria was absolutely wonderful! She was great at communicating and sent us daily updates and pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind. We were definitely anxious about leaving our pets, but Maria made the whole process so easy and smooth. She took great care of our house, and even sent updates when we received packages. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and will definitely be using her again in the future!
Heather is above and beyond awesome. She stayed with my 2 dogs and 1 cat overnight for 10 days and took exceptional care of the pets as well as the home and plants. I really appreciated her twice daily communication with the most adorable photo updates and that she was always punctual and followed through exactly as she promised. I came home to find very happy pets who were obviously loved on so well. Heather was also flexible and kind when I alerted her to my partner swinging by to mow the lawn or grab something. Highest recommendation for her services!
Angelica was a dream sitter. She texted every day with updates, some days multiple times, just to set our minds and hearts at ease. We have two dogs with disparate temperaments and needs and she really nailed it with both of them -- keeping our high-energy 1-year-old blue heeler-mix on the move while letting our skittish pug-mix warm up slooowly. In the past I've had sitters who never made any connection or progress with our pug-mix during a 10 day stay away and I was really grateful to Angelica for being patient while still building a bond (not just giving up/being passive). We came home to our house just as we left it and she even picked up some. We are really grateful for her and would absolutely book her again.
Penny was awesome with our two small dogs! She sent daily updates and pictures and our two high maintenance, attached dogs were happy while we were away from them for 11 days. It was so nice to be able to go away and not worry about the dogs! We will definitely be asking Penny to stay again the next time we are away!
Diane was absolutely wonderful and the most caring with our senior dog and cat. During this hot Houston summer, she worked with our dog to figure out the best times to walk her and at her pace. She was very attuned to the needs of our 13.5 year old dog, which is so important to us. She was also very sweet with our cat. Very impressed with her deep attention to the animals needs and bonus: she left our home much cleaner than when we left!
Kassidy was great with our two Yorkies, Louis and Sassy. She came over early for a meet and greet and prepared well for house/pet sitting for two weeks. She cared so well for both dogs. We received many updates and lots of pictures during our time away. We would highly recommend Kassidy. She is very communicative and professional.
