1. Emily E.


“Emily was fantastic!! She took excellent care of my cat while I was gone for Christmas. As a relatively anxious person in general, it was nice to not have any worries over Christmas break. I will definitely book again!”


2. Madison W.


“This was my first time using a pet sitter. I have 2 dogs that have to separated and one of them is a senior. Both dogs would get extremely stressed when they had to be boarded. Madison is very knowledgeable about dog breeds and understood our quirky corgi and his behaviors. I would absolutely recommend her and I'm so glad we found her! No more kennels!”


3. Christina S.


“We tried using Rover for the first time and it went great! Christina did a meet and greet with the pup beforehand and everything went smoothly! We will definitely use her again!!”




4. Michaela S.

“Michaela does a fantastic job for our dogs that both have special requirements. My wife and I are comfortable leaving them under her care. Punctual and great communication.”


5. Hailey N.


“Hailey was absolutely wonderful with my four cats while I was out of town. I was able to relax and enjoy my vacation with no stress and full confidence they were well taken care of. I will definitely be booking her again next time I need a cat sitter!”


6. Madison B.

“Madison was amazing! Very friendly and sent great updates of our little ones while we were gone for Memorial Day weekend. Would definitely book with her again.”


7. Haley F.

“Haley was wonderful! She was attentive to our pups. She kept in great communication with us, giving us updates on anything that was going on with them during her drop-in visits. I will 100% recommend her to anyone, & will be using her again in the future! ?”


8. Ashlee P.

“Ashlee did a wonderful job watching our babies during Christmas weekend. You could tell they were well taken care of when we got home and she was very good sending photos and asking questions where needed even making sure the TV continued to play Christmas music for them while we were gone. Ashlee is a great communicator and you can tell that she does very well with dogs and dealing with nuances of the household such as our alarm. Thanks so much to Ashlee!!”


9. Heather S.

“Heather is so attentive, thorough, and caring. She was thinking through every possible way she could make my dog happier and more comfortable. Her notes and photos were so thoughtful and showed an attention to detail that reassured me while being away. I cannot recommend her enough, and we look forward to having her look after Rainer again.”


10. Casey S.

“Our cat seemed to really open up to Casey! In the past when we have hired sitters through Rover we were sent pictures of her hiding under the bed and that made us feel uneasy while away from her, but Casey sent pictures of her out and about and even eating! That was definitely a sign to us that our cat felt safe. She was very accommodating to our last minute trip and communicated with us the entire time. She will absolutely be our first choice the next time we go on a trip, and I’m sure our kitty would be happy to see her again!”


11. Janelle B.

“I have never used Rover before and so this was a large leap of faith for me to let someone watch my pets for 5 days. Janelle proved to be diligent in sending me updates everyday, and went above and beyond to provide for my fur babies. One of my kitties ate all the food left in her automatic feeder (knocked it over ugh) and they were not going to have enough food to last until we came back, so she went to the store and picked up more food for them!! I would recommend Janelle every time and will be using her again in the future for services 💕🥰 Thanks again!!”


12. Micaela B.

“Micaela is amazing!! She took the best care of my babies and spent tons more time with them than she had to. Highly recommend booking with Micaela!!!!”

15. Corinne B.

“Corinne is great with our cat and a wonderful sitter! Always timely and very great at communication.”


16. Jamie M.

“Jamie was awesome. She took great care of my lab during her visits, sent me pictures and even cleaned up after him. I was able to relax and enjoy my trip so much more knowing he was well taken care of. I would recommend her to anyone.”


17. Candice W.

“Candice takes great care of my doggos and home when I've needed a sitter, shes now the first name I search for my future Rover inquiries! Her communication, demeanor and love for animals make her an easy pick for me when I have long-term stays away from home!”


18. Jade O.
“Jade is a saving grace for sure! She takes care of my two babies with such care. She always takes them on fun adventures to the park, trails, or the beach to get their energy out and their brain stimulated! Her own pets are very nice and get along well with mine. I can always count on her to bring in the energy!”




19. Kimberlee E.

“She was great. Kept me updated while I was away and sent pictures. Just what I needed to feel okay being away from my cats.”




20. Angie F.


“Angie was so helpful in checking in on our dog when we were out of town for the day. She provided us with helpful updates that gave us peace of mind that he would be fine while we were away. Hopefully this is the start of long Rover relationship!”
