“Rev was great in taking care of our two girls for a week. We got images of them and updates. When Pepper got sick, she kept us updated so that when we took her to the emergency vet the day we arrived we had the details of when it started. The house was clean when we arrived and you can tell she treated our girls well :) Fig panicked and cried when Rev said goodbye and left when we got home so that says a lot!!”

“Aymbre was wonderful with Izzy: she kept a very high energy (and demanding) pup entertained. She kept in touch through the time she was sitting Izzy and I came home to one very happy (and tired!) GSD.”

“We worked with Paul for the first time when we needed someone to housesit for our two corgis for 9 days. He was wonderful to work with from the time we booked him; he was the first to reach out to coordinate and confirm visits and was always on time. Paul took a lot of time to ask really thoughtful questions about the dogs' needs, their routine, and even took the dogs on a practice walk before our trip to familiarize himself with them and the neighborhood. We also really appreciated that he does not book multiple clients at a time (e.g. a drop-in client while housesitting), and being fully remote, he dedicated 100% of his time to our dogs and home. He sent daily updates with photos and videos, and answered any questions we had while we were away immediately. Our house was in great shape, he had laundered and cleaned everything before leaving, and the dogs were happy and healthy when we returned home. I would work with Paul again without hesitation and highly recommend him for anyone who is looking for a trustworthy and reliable caretaker for their pet and home.”

“Irie is the best! She takes such good care of the dog, cat and house. We love her and highly trust her. She is wonderful at communicating too.”
“We have two pets that require daily meds (multiple times a day) and Tommy was enthusiastic to learn and care for them. He was always on time and extremely communicative. We got daily pics of our babies too which was a massive plus for us. Thanks again, Tommy!”

“Arshneel was awesome! She made my first experience with Rover comfortable and easy. She sent me photos throughout the day and communicated very well. I will definitely be calling her again when I need the help.”

“Cynthia was amazing to work with! We have 4 cats who don’t get along well and she took on the task with ease. She provided so many updates, pictures and hopped on the phone with us when we were getting anxious about being away for so long. She was very respectful of our home and really loved our cats like her own. We appreciate her so much and recommend her to anyone who is feeling a bit anxious about leaving their pet!”

“Bella was great with our lab while we were out of town. She communicated routinely through the weekend, regularly sending pictures and videos. We will definitely book again!”

“Katie was absolutely wonderful! She was very communicative and punctual, and we really appreciated the photo updates she sent of our dogs while we were away. It gave us such peace of mind knowing they were in great hands. She made the whole experience easy and stress-free, and we’ll definitely be using her again the next time we need someone to watch our dogs. Highly recommend!”

“Tahir was excellent! Really made me feel at ease after a hard move and then having to leave my cat for a short trip. He shared regular updates, took care to include important details about my cat’s health concerns, left my house spotless, and somehow managed to get the shy guy to come out and play. It was the best, easiest experience I’ve had in years. I will definitely book catsitting with Tahir again.”

“Wen Shin is amazing!!!! She was so good with our Jackson!! we got so many pictures and videos it's like we were still home. she gave us updates on his eating, walks, and activities. The apartment was just as we left it. We will definitely be using Wen Shin's services again!”

“Ariauna was a great pet and house sitter! Our home was in immaculate condition when we returned and most importantly, our dog was extremely well taken care of with lots of love, attention, and exercise. Ariauna made sure to pay close attention to all our neurotic notes and instructions sent us lots of pictures and updates about our dog Dempsey. I think it’s safe to say he has a new best bud :) Ariauna also catered to all of Dempsey’s silly quirks and administered his meds with ease. We would highly recommend Ariauna (and her sister Serena!) for all your pet and house sitting needs.”

“Valeria has been-by far-the best dog sitter for my boy Charlie. She was very communicative and thoughtful. She also immediately bonded with Charlie and knew how to take such good care of him. She gave multiple updates throughout the day and sent me the best photos and videos. Thank you so much Valeria, you are a gem!!”

“Anastasia is a regular dog walker for us and recently stayed with our pup while we were away for the weekend. Our dog is clearly very comfortable with her and she always does a great job caring for him and paying attention to Ira’s need and idiosyncracies!”

“Madeleine is the best! She watches my 12 week old lab, Maverick, when I’m working longer nursing shifts. She is so helpful with maintaining his schedule and helping with his crate training (no shortage of cuddles, playing and walks either!) It takes a lot of trust to leave your puppy with someone, as they’re helping teach them the rules of being a dog- but I know he’s in the best hands when he’s with Madeleine!”

“Shalini took great care of Buttercup while we were away overnight. She communicated well, sent lots of photos and updates, left the house in pristine condition, and kept Buttercup great company, as evidenced by the happy dog we returned home to. We’d absolutely use her again in the future!”

“Claire stayed at our apartment with our dog and was super communicative, attentive and thoughtful! She sent us lots of photos which we appreciated so much and left the house clean and in order. We felt so confident while traveling that Jeter was in good hands! Would definitely recommend Claire!”

“Angie was absolutely fabulous with our pup! She was so caring, sent plenty of adorable updates, and treated Maisy like her own. It was clear our dog loved her, too! Without a doubt, we’d love to book with Angie again. Thank you for taking such great care of our pup and our apartment!”

Roxbury pet parents share their Rover experiences
Emma is wonderful and did a fabulous job taking care of my Atlas for this session! She asked really great and insightful questions during the meet and greet which immediately put me at ease. During the session she followed care instructions, gave great photo updates, was quick to reach out if/when there were any questions, and ultimately just great at taking care of my little guy while I was away. I came home to a happy pup and a clean home. I absolutely will be booking Emma's services again in the future. Thank you Emma!

Sarah is the best. She dog sat for us over the weekend and was, as always, extremely dependable and reliable. She kept in constant communication throughout the weekend, always quick to respond to questions and keep us updated. She took such good care of our dog, Clara!

Tahir was fantastic sitting our dog! He took very good care of our dog, fed her, cuddled and played with her and sent us daily updates with several photos. He even watched Halloween movies with her! In addition to that he helped clean the house for us. Totally recommend his services!

Adison went above and beyond watching my puppy while I was away for a last minute work trip. She sent me lots of updates while I was gone and took care of her so well while she had an upset tummy. I would highly recommend her to anyone and will be using her again in the future!

Madeleine is the best! She watches my 12 week old lab, Maverick, when I’m working longer nursing shifts. She is so helpful with maintaining his schedule and helping with his crate training (no shortage of cuddles, playing and walks either!) It takes a lot of trust to leave your puppy with someone, as they’re helping teach them the rules of being a dog- but I know he’s in the best hands when he’s with Madeleine!

I would 100% trust Ashley with my home and furry family members again! She showed good independent judgment and decision making when we couldn’t respond right away. She kept messages to a minimum, which I actually really appreciated—we got to enjoy our vacation without worrying about responding to care questions all the time, but whenever we did want an update, a photo, or a specific house task completed, she was on it immediately. Ashley’s attentiveness and ability to adapt to our needs were so appreciated! We hope she’s available for our future vacations, too.

Katie was absolutely wonderful! She was very communicative and punctual, and we really appreciated the photo updates she sent of our dogs while we were away. It gave us such peace of mind knowing they were in great hands. She made the whole experience easy and stress-free, and we’ll definitely be using her again the next time we need someone to watch our dogs. Highly recommend!

Lillian stayed at our apartment while we were away and was a great companion and sitter for our cat!! Very kind and helpful and went the extra mile to clean up before she left and left the cutest little sketch of Minnie for us. Will definitely book again and recommend Lillian for drop-bys, overnights, whatever you need!
