“I’ve had Gwen take care of my cat for drop ins and house sitting. She is the best. My cat loves her. I can go on holidays and have no worries knowing that Gwen is taking care of her. Thanks Gwen for your help.”
“Erik was an excellent sitter! Erik provided lots of updates and pictures and I could tell he got to know each of the cat’s personalities. It was clear he spent lots of quality time with them - played, fed, and cuddled like they were his own. My house was clean and tidy when I returned. 10/10 would book again!”
“Thank you Annika for taking great care of our 4 dogs! Knowing that they were in good care allowed us to enjoy our time away for the family wedding. The great communication while we were out of town really helped us so we didn't miss the dogs so much! We highly recommend Annika for any pet related care! She gets to know your pet and forms a bond which reduces the stress on you and your pets. Thank you again for being so awesome!”
“Thank you so much Sarah!!! You were so, so wonderful to Mylo and I would no doubt book with you again. I can tell how much you love and care about animals and you follow instructions so well. I was so worried about leaving Mylo, especially with somebody he doesn’t know and you made it so easy. You were so patient, kind, and even took the time to make sure the house was neat before you left. I can’t thank you enough!”

“Maciyah was SO wonderful with our baby Nala. We had just rescued Nala 3 weeks prior to having to leave for 5 days and were nervous to leave her, however, Maciyah was so great with her. She made us feel so much better about leaving her. She sent lots of pictures, gave our girl good cuddles and played with her and took such great care! Would absolutely recommend Maciyah to anyone needing help with their fur baby and Nala can’t wait to see her again.”
“Kristina was wonderful ! Very responsible and so loving towards My pooch Marley ! He loves her from day one ! I’d highly recommend her ! My dog is not an easy personality and he was happy as can be upon my return ! 5 stars”
“Chauna is amazing and I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a dog/house sitter! She is always quick to respond, and kept me updated with photos from her walks with Mollie. We live in an apartment with other dogs, so walking Mollie is no easy task. It requires multiple trips up and down the elevator, interacting with other people and dogs, which gets Mollie very excited. Chauna calmly navigated all the challenges, and gave me peace of mind while away. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“Mary Grace was great with my dog during the overnight stay. I came home to a happy dog and the house was nice and tidy too, which was a bonus. I definitely recommend her.”
“Katie was fantastic! She watched our 2 high energy doggos and they were so good for her, they loved her so. She is very patient and experienced. Thanks Katie!”
“Ashton is a phenomenal, caring pet sitter. She’s trustworthy, communicative and will care for your pets and home. She watched our 3 cars and dog when we went on a last minute trip over spring break. Delighted she was available and willing to stay in our house for 6 nights/7 days. Home was clean and tidy, she went above and beyond to ensure kitchen was clean, bedding removed from the bed, and the house was locked up. Felt completely safe with her, and know our pets loved her based on the photos she shared daily. Highly recommend!”
“Lizabeth went above and beyond for a last minute emergency pet sitting, due to do the owner suffering a medical emergency. i highly recommend her services, she was absolutely fantastic!”
“Sage has been so amazing these last few months! My cat is always less stressed when I leave him in her care which makes our vacation so much more comfortable.”
“Jordan was very accommodating. Skye had him wrapped around her paw! She had a very lazy weekend, very spa like. Butt rubs on demand. She can be pushed to do her walks in the morning, treats will motivate her! Thanks Jordan”

When I’m on a long trip, Amy and James are the only ones who truly put me at ease. They give George and Yoko so much love and thoughtful care, and I feel lucky to have them. Every pet owner has their preferred sitters, but for me, these two strike the perfect balance of communication and reassurance, exactly what you need when you’re away and missing your babies.
Abdullah was a great sitter for my old pup, had prompt communication and pictures, and followed the notes for feeding and walking times. My dog is older in life, about 75 lbs, with limited use of his hind legs and takes daily medication. Abdullah was able to maneuver him into his wagon, help him while outside in the grass, and take care of any accidents. It was a great experience working with Abdullah from initial communication about the booking to post trip follow-up.
Haleigh was amazing. This was my first time using Rover for an overnight stay. Haleigh met me and my dog, Jax, before the booking and I trusted her immediately. She is so professional and clearly loves animals. She sent pictures during her stay at my house and her communication with me was excellent. I recommend her 100% and will absolutely use her again.
