“Madison was better than I expected! She took such special care of Lily. Lily usually takes time to warm up to new people, but she loved Madison right away because Madison took the time to sit with her, pet her and make her feel comfortable. Madison was very communicative and sent photos throughout the day. She asked good questions and I could tell she wanted to ensure that she gave Lily the best care. She also gave Lily her pills, as needed. We’d love to have Madison dog sit again.”


“If you need someone to watch your pet, Caitlin is excellent. She was communicative and sent updates and pictures while we were away. Hendrix loved his time with Caitlin and I would use her again in the future.”

“Nikki was wonderful! She took such great care of our dog, Georgie, while we were away. Her updates were great and put our minds at ease. We came home to a relaxed and content pup - always the best sign! Thank you, Nikki, for treating him like one of your own!”


“Amber was amazing from our first messages to when we got back home. She took excellent care of our sweet dog, took him on at least two walks per day, played with him and provided lots of photos and updates every evening. Our house was in even better condition than we left it. Communication was easy and prompt. I want to take more short trips now that we have a trusted dog sitter. I highly recommend Amber.”


“Jasmine was INCREDIBLE. She was so attentive and kind, and sent many photos and videos. Mazie looked like she had the time of her life, she definitely misses Jasmine! This is the happiest Mazie has ever been with a pet sitter. 100% Recommend Jasmine and will definitely book her in the future :)”



“He was very comfortable with our dog, which was great. He keeps you completely informed on the dog, which is something made it worry less, while we were our. Def someone you can trust your precious babies”


“Ryan was great! He stayed at our house for a long weekend with our dog, Finn. He kept in touch and sent updates. He took the trash out without us even asking and the house was tidy when we returned. We will definitely book him again.”


“Tina is so amazing that we want to keep her all to ourselves! ♥️ But that seems unfair so here you go… 1. Tina is a joy in person. Such a lovely human and easy to talk to. 2. She’s so good with dogs that she was completely unfazed by our big wildly energetic lab. They were immediate best friends and ready for adventure. 3. It’s so hard to find someone who is wonderful with cats too and cat would seem to be Tina’s second language. We came home to a blissed out cat who was energetic, lovey, and even put on a little much needed weight. Tina pays very close attention to an individual pet’s needs and our old special needs kitty is totally in love with her. 4. Pictures! Updates! 🎉 We had a consistent and lovely view of happy pets. 5. We are now calling her the immaculate house guest. Everything, and I mean everything, was pristine when we returned. It looked like a huge team of cleaners had been through the house. What an especially wonderful way to come home. All of that said, do not book Tina! We want her all to ourselves. 😉♥️”


“Logan was awesome. Super communicative with my partner while I was incommunicado, took great care of my house, and even took Ruby on some extra field trips out of the city to stretch her legs. I came home to a very happy and healthy pup. Highly, highly recommend!”


“Christina was a great fit for our two senior dogs. Both are reactive and have leash anxiety, so having someone calm and comfortable with energetic dogs was essential. We’d definitely book her again.”


“Bill was absolutely outstanding. He stayed at our place while we’re out of the country for a little over a week. He took incredible care of our two golden retrievers and sent many updates and pictures of them. He was prompt and took great care of our house while we were away. We will definitely be booking Bill again for his services!”


“Anthony stayed with my dog for about two weeks while I was out of town. He had great communication the entire time and took good care of my dog and my house. I recommend Anthony and will continue to request him when I need a petsitter!”


“Rebecca took great care of my special needs dog!”


“Larry watched our 2 senior pups for a long weekend. We were nervous as this was our first time using Rover but Larry made it a breeze! He came out for a meet and greet and read through my overly detailed instructions ahead of time. He sent us daily pics and updates and even brought the mail in. We have never come home to such chilled out dogs after a trip. We would definitely recommend Larry to anyone looking for some quality care for their pets.”


“Kayla is so sweet and caring. She was on time and paid attention to all the instructions. Our dog is very high energy but Kayla got along with her pretty well. She’s now Paris’ best friend. Kayla was flexible with our crazy schedule. Would definitely recommend her.”


“Deanna was excellent with taking care of our high-energy dogs, and making them feel safe and cared for while we went out for the evening. Our 2-year-old boy has with other sitters nervously awaited our return from the moment we left, but with Deanna, he was calm for most of the night! Deanna was perfectly punctual, and very good with sending updates.”


“Abby is amazing! Our girl was happy and healthy when we returned home. She provided daily updates and pics, which was great. We look forward to using her again!”


“Lora was great. It was a short notice booking but she was accommodating with arranging a meet and greet before my trip away. I got pics of Lori and Darla in the yard playing, doing training and also of Darla waking Lora up in the morning 😂 Lora very kindly watered the plants and flowers in the backyard while she was at my house. Would definitely recommend and will definitely use Lora again.”


“Dana was great! She was very communicative while we were away. She sent pictures and updates throughout the day. I have a senior dog and she was great with him. He requires lots of meds and she handles everything seamlessly. I highly recommend Dana!”

Roxborough pet parents share their Rover experiences
Faith was great! Friendly, prompt and very engaged with our dog. Sent us texts and pictures all throughout the evening. Highly recommend her!

Madison took excellent care of both our dogs and our home while we were away! Our dogs have some specific food and medication needs, and she was more than willing to accommodate them. She was also extremely communicative and sent lots of great pictures. We have had good experiences with Rover in general, but have never felt as comfortable leaving our dogs with someone as we did with Madison. Strongly recommend her and will definitely be asking her to watch our pups in the future!

Eneida is the absolute greatest!! Second time using her to watch our pup and hope to again in the future!

Caroline was really fantastic! She stayed at our house for the better part of a week and took incredible care of our dog and home. 10/10 would recommend!

Lora was great. It was a short notice booking but she was accommodating with arranging a meet and greet before my trip away. I got pics of Lori and Darla in the yard playing, doing training and also of Darla waking Lora up in the morning 😂 Lora very kindly watered the plants and flowers in the backyard while she was at my house. Would definitely recommend and will definitely use Lora again.

Brittany was great with Crumbcake and we appreciate her care of our home. She was very responsive and easy to work with.

Thank you for taking such great care of Arlo! Kayla was super communicative and friendly to work with. She’s a natural with dogs and was very attentive to what Arlo needed. Can’t recommend enough!

I had Wendy watch my dog at my home when I was away for several days. No issues and came home to a happy dog! Thank you!

My dog Percy is recovering from knee surgery so his anxiety has been higher and his separation anxiety has regressed. Alex was so wonderful and patient with him, getting him to settle and stay calm after my husband and I left. At our meet and greet, Alex was thoughtful in asking detailed questions about Percy’s health/injury so that he could care for him accordingly. During the pet sitting itself, Alex sent numerous updates, which assured us that Percy was doing well and was in great hands. Thanks so much, Alex!

Emily was a fantastic sitter for Tig! She was very communicative and took the sweetest photo updates of her. She left my home better than I left it and Tig was calm and in good spirits when I came home and I could tell she was well taken care of. Thank you so much Emily! 5-stars, highly recommend

Joshua takes amazing care of our boy! We fully trust him and will use him any time we need a sitter.

Shawn was great. She came to my house the day before to go over a few things since she was going to be staying for a few hours. She was quick to communicate and did everything I asked.

Second time using Ryan and he is still fantastic! Great communication and takes care of everything while I’m gone so I don’t have to worry! I come home to a happy and healthy dog!

Zoe was absolutely wonderful with our two dogs. They completely fell in love with her and she went above and beyond in taking care of them, and our home, for the week she stayed with them! We definitely hope to work with Zoe again.

Liron was awesome! She was gentle and patient with my Maltipoo pup and was super accommodating throughout the entire process. Highly recommend! Will definitively book again :)

Olivia is always awesome. My pup loves her, she's very reliable and communicates well. I am very comfortable leaving her with my house and dog.

Abby is amazing! Our girl was happy and healthy when we returned home. She provided daily updates and pics, which was great. We look forward to using her again!

Maria has been so good with my 3-month old puppy! She was on time, detail-oriented, and sent so many cute pictures!!
