1. Christine & Felipe C.
“Our dog does not like people other than my wife really. But she took to Christine on day one and was climbing into her lap that night. It is such a relief to know someone who gets along with our dog is taking care of them. Would definitely hire again!”
2. Daria K.
“Daria was amazing, my cats took to her right away. I was a little nervous leaving them for a night but they were happy and healthy when I got home. She sent lots of photos and videos which made this cat mom feel better”
3. Laura C.
“Laura was so sweet and wonderful! This was our first overnight and we couldn’t appreciate her patience and understanding more. Would 20/10 recommend!”
4. Matt D.
“Matt was amazing and so good to my dogs! Great at communication and sent me lots of updates. Highly recommend Matt and I will definitely be using him in the future.”
5. Crystal G.
“Always 5 star service.”
6. LaShanda H.
“Shanda was so thoughtful to us and our pup. She came in during an emergency trip we needed to take and we could not ask for more. Her updates made us feel so comfortable. We knew Eve was safe and having a great time. Highly recommend her for any care because she will spoil your fur baby like a grandparent.”
7. Grace V.
“Grace took care of my dog, Penny, while I was visiting Austin for a wedding. Penny has separation anxiety and I needed someone to take care of her at the hotel room. This was our first experience with Rover and it was great! Grace was very kind and attentive, she provided me with frequent updates and pictures. Penny had a great time and I was able to enjoy the event knowing that she was being taken care of.”
8. Yuliia P.
“Yuliia was so sweet and sent so many pictures of our babies while we were away! She truly took care of them like they were her own. We could truly enjoy ourselves knowing our girls were in great hands. Would absolutely book again next time we’re in town!”
9. Arturo C.
“Arturo was extremely caring with Remy and super communicative with me during my trip. Very happy I chose him to watch my baby while I was out of town.”
10. Elizabeth W.
“Brady and Apollo are obsessed with Elizabeth as much as we are! She is always on time and comes in with the best attitude. She is super easy to work with and we have 100% complete trust in her with our babies. (That’s very hard for us to let go but she makes it a breeze!)”
11. Sierra N.
“Sierra was lovely!!!!! I couldn’t have asked for a gentler sitter with positive energy. She kept my little guy company all day and made sure to get walks in and send photo updates. She was also super flexible with some key logistics and slight last-minute changes. I would recommend her to anyone and definitely plan to use her in the future.”
12. Woody H.
“Woody did a great job with our dogs Astro, Brutus and Credence, we will definitely be hiring her again next time we need someone to stay with our furbabies! 🙃”
13. Brandy B.
“Brandy was very easy to schedule with and very easy to communicate with as well. The boys loved her and we will definitely be scheduling her again soon.”
14. Parker H.
“Parker was an excellent caretaker for our older dog while we were away for a long weekend. He came for a meet-and-greet beforehand, took notes and made an effort to make our pup feel comfortable with him. He followed all of our house- and dog-sitting instructions and sent lots of pics while we were away. He was fun, pleasant, and followed through in every way. We’d be happy to book him again.”
15. Taylor R.
“Taylor did a great job with my 2 cats. They both love attention and were both in great spirits when I returned. Taylor made sure to give plenty of updates with lots of pictures and videos so I knew my cats were happy!”
16. Kimberly H.
“Kimberly was the best! She stayed at my place and everything was tidy when I got back. She was great about sending photos while I was away and communicated clearly. She has a natural ability with dogs and you can tell she really loves them. I’m looking forward to booking her again. :)”
17. Ramajana D.
“Rami was an outstanding caretaker for our dog during a weeklong vacation. She sent us updates while we were away, showing walks and other dog adventures. Our pup was completely happy in her care. We felt very comfortable knowing that Rami was giving our dog top notch treatment.”
18. Rosemarie G.
“Rosie was amazing with our dog. She was so kind and caring, even taking him to the vet when he had a need. She kept us updated, sent photos and videos and gave our dog a ton of love. We can’t wait for our next trip so we can book Rosie again, we know our dog will love it too!”
19. Olena M.
“My partner and I took a longer trip, 9 days, and hired Olena to take care of our dog and 2 cats. She was truly wonderful!! Not only did she communicate well and sent us sweet updates and pictures once a day, you could also tell through her texts that she really cared about our babies. They seemed very comfortable with her and she kept up well with their normal routines. And, to top it all off she left the house very clean so when we got back home late everything looked almost nicer than we left it! The only bad thing I have to say about Olena is that she mentioned she might be moving away this year, which means we can’t hire her again 😭 wherever she goes she will succeed, and we are happy we got to use her services and wish her the best!”
20. Krista K.
“Krista was very professional and understanding of my dog’s needs while sitting him. She kept me informed which made me feel comforted that he was in good hands while I was gone. She was the perfect snuggle partner for my dog while I was gone!”
