“Julie was absolutely amazing! We moved not long ago and are still getting settled and we came home to a clean, organized house that is much better than how we left it. Julie took great care of our two dogs and sent us lots of pictures. She said she likes to keep busy and used free time to weed or clean. A dream house/dog sitter!”

“Bethany was wonderful and our pets were healthy and happy when we returned. She sent us lots of pictures and babysat the crew through a big thunderstorm. We never worried that our pets were not taken care of and the house was in good shape when we returned. She even stripped the sheets off the bed. We would use her again to house sit.”

“Amanda was absolutely excellent! She communicated throughout our stay if there were any questions or issues. We came home to a clean house and happy pups so I would definitely recommend her to others to house sit and take care of their dogs! We already have her booked for our next trip. Thanks so much Amanda for taking such good care of our babies 🥰🥰”
“Honestly Nick and Nazzy the best sitters we have had on Rover—would recommend super highly to anyone who wants to leave their pet pals in good hands! We have an anxious dog and an asthmatic cat, so not the easiest pets, but Nick and Nazzy always take such good care of them. They send tons of pics and videos and kept us up to date on all the happenings! Super kind and considerate folks who go above and beyond in their care of the pets and the home!!”
“Melissa was great to work with. She made me feel very comfortable and she took great care of my puppy. She was very attentive to my specifications for my pup. She messaged with timely & detailed updates which helped ease my new dog mom nerves. Thanks Melissa!”
“Nevaeh did a wonderful job watching Archie. She was responsible, communicative, and sent plenty of updates and photos which I appreciated. She was quick to reach out with questions and concerns, and was an excellent problem solver. Nevaeh also left my house sparkling clean which was an amazing extra touch to come home to. I loved that I was not worried about Archie and feel that Nevaeh is a trustworthy sitter.”
“Jasmine was awesome! Great communication and I can tell she’s confident and experienced with dogs. I was a dog sitter for 10 years and it’s weird to be on the other side now. We felt very comfortable having Jasmine stay in our home with our dogs. They were happy when we came back and our house was just as we left it. We loved the photos she sent as well! Thanks, Jasmine!”

Rockwood pet parents share their Rover experiences
Carla watched our dog and my in-laws dog for 10 days while we were out of the country. She met up with us two times before our travels and kept us updated as to how the dogs were doing while we were gone. We came home to a clean house and happy dogs, would definitely book with Carla again!
We were so grateful for the care our animals received. Liz and Eddie did such a great job and sent pictures took care of our home. Our pets went on walks, were snuggled and happy. And even our really skittish cat fell in love with them. We will always book with Liz and Eddie now. Great experience.
Melissa went above and beyond to cater to my shy cat, playing with him and staying at the home with him. She sent regular updates and photos, which put me at ease on my trip! She left the house clean and followed my list of instructions. Most importantly, my cat was safe and sound when I returned home! I couldn't be happier with her cat-sitting! Thank you so much!!
Monique has watched our dogs multiple times and has been an exceptional guest and caretaker. She is communicative, great with dogs of all sizes (we have a giant breed and a tiny breed), and everytime has left our house cleaner than we left it. We love having her help when we are out of town, and will welcome her back soon. Cannot recommend her enough, thanks Monique!
Molly did such a wonderful job with my pups. She went above and beyond, pulling trash cans from the street, picking up mail and packages, and cleaning dishes. She took such wonderful care od my pups I'm not really sure they knew I was gone. Molly is very professional and timely as well and I would highly recommend her a a pet or house sitter.
We had a great experience with Ella! Everything was exactly as expected—our home was well cared for, and most importantly, our puppies were happy and in great hands. She was also incredibly accommodating with my somewhat goofy schedule, which I really appreciated. I would absolutely recommend and will definitely use her again!
We cannot recommend Shonteia enough! She took incredible care of our dog and kept us updated with very detailed check-ins throughout the entire stay — we always knew exactly how he was doing, which made being away so much easier. She also went above and beyond when our boy had some stomach trouble, picking up plain chicken to help settle his tummy without us even having to ask. Communication was a breeze from start to finish. We’ll absolutely be booking with her again!
