“Diane is an excellent pet sitter. You can immediately tell she is extremely caring and attentive. She took great care of my boy Harry - walks, playing with him, and excellent general nurturing. Would definitely use her again.”

“Kaira was a wonderful sitter for my pup! My little guy needed a little extra attention which required dosing multiple pills in the morning and evening, and Kaira took great care to give him everything he needed! My dog also has anxiety, but was quick to warm up to Kaira. She's flexible, checks in often, and sent lots of cute pics!”
“Stephanie was great! She communicated consistently with texts and pictures of our pups. She made sure they were well fed, took them on walks, and managed a few oddball chores we asked her to help with. Our family and pup crew hope to meet again.”


“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!”

“Kayla is a wonderful pet sitter. My older poodle girl is hesitant to meet people, but from the moment Lyla saw Kayla it was instant acceptance. She knew she could trust her. Kayla communicated with us often. She was responsible and loving towards Lyla. I would highly recommend her to anyone that needs a pet sitter. Thank you, Kayla. We appreciate the support you gave to Lyla and us.”


“Diamond was punctual, communicative, friendly, and caring with our dogs. Everything was left clean, and they seemed to be very happy with her. We highly recommend her service. She she lots of pictures and seemed to love them like her own!”

“Timothy is a 5 Star Pet Sitter! He is 100% responsible and responsive! Our dog is "high energy" and Tim took her our several times a day for walks. He has an obvious heart for dogs and our dog stuck right by his side when he was here. He also left the house in spotless conditiion. We feel very lucky to have had him pet sit for our family! The Lankfords”

“Dani was excellent with my pets. I received daily updates and photos from her. I have already booked her for future dates. I highly recommend her to help you with your pets.”

“Daniele did a great job sitting for our 16 year old cat and 12 year old dog for the weekend. It can be stressful the first time using a new sitter especially when your pets are older, but Daniele was super responsive, sent lots of pics and kept us knowing they were happy and comfortable while still letting us enjoy our time away- it was a perfect balance! We wouldn’t hesitate to ask Daniele if she’d come stay with them again!”

“Journey did an incredible job house sitting for us, sending us tons of updates and pictures. She is diligent and took great care of our dog and our cat. Will definitely be reaching out to her again!”

“Sarah took such good care of our dogs. We couldn’t find enough good words to say about her. She not only took care of our dogs but also the house! We did not need to worry about anything home while we are in our trip!”

“Lidia was great with both of my dogs! She communicated with me at all times and sent me videos and pictures of my dogs, also they came back hope very happy and stress free”


“Ana was so amazing with my babes !!!! She was totally attentive and loving, and kept me updated each day. Totally appreciate her and will most certainly reach out to her next time I need to leave town 😊 Highly recommended !!!!”

“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!!”

“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! 🫶🩷🐾”

“She is amazing! Patient , kind, and great with animals!! She fed Malikai and took him out and cater for this big scaredy fluff ball! Thank you so much! I will book again!”

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

Rory took great care of our three cats over a 9 day trip. She was responsive and sent pics every day, and also kept us informed of package deliveries. We hate to leave our cats for such a long period of time but it’s clear that they were well cared for and got lots of snuggles. Rory left the house clean and organized, brought in our mail, and was kind enough to put out the trash and recycling. We’d definitely book Rory again and recommend her to others.

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! (-:

Thankful that Maria was available last minute to watch our dog Piper. Maria is a great communicator, was on time, and most importantly Piper had a great time and was disappointed for her to leave even after only a few hours. Thanks, and we will definitely reach out again!

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!

This was our first time having anyone watch our dog and cat and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Diane was very communicative with updates and pictures and took great care of our pets and house. I’d recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy sitter.

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.

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.

Kendall was absolutely fantastic. She house sitted for our American Akita while we were out of the country, which is no easy feat. American Akitas are very large dogs, and notoriously difficult to open up to people they don’t know. Within 10 minutes of meeting Kendall, all of my concerns were extinguished. She’s highly professional, great with communication, and has “the touch”, where my introverted girly was best friends with her the second they met. I undoubtedly will be hiring Kendall for any future needs, and any other owner with large dog breeds, especially shy ones, should as well.
