“The best Rover sitter I have had. Communicative, clean, great with Gertie, and an all around kind, responsible, and trustworthy person. Thank you Acacia! It means the world to me 🥰”

“Jackie is incredible! Great communication, she is punctual, sent so many pictures, and best part was my pup was so happy. I definitely recommend! Thanks again Jackie!!”

“Carole was nothing short of amazing! I have 2 senior dogs, one of whom is very “particular” as far as the people she likes. Carole was able to walk her and care for her without any issues. I received photos and updates and felt completely at ease knowing that they were in good hands.”

“Keisha is wonderful! Our pups are very shy but Keisha did a great job helping them warm up. She is sweet, communicative and flexible, and even sent us pics of the girls while she was watching them!”

“Catherine did a great job house sitting and pet sitting my golden retriever for 5 nights. She was extremely professional throughout the entire process and left my home clean and tidy. I would not hesitate to book with her again!”


“Jan was wonderful with Charlie!! I received a ton of photos and updates and they went on a lot of walks!! I’m so pleased and highly recommend!!! It’s obvious Charlie was very well taken care of. 🩷”

“Carrianne did a wonderful job caring for my dog when I went out of town for a weekend. Penny takes some time to warm up to people and Carrianne was very patient and understanding throughout that process. She followed the care instructions I left and sent daily updates with important information (e.g., walks, eating habits, general behavior) with photos. She also stayed overnight in my apartment and left everything really tidy. I couldn't be happier with the care Penny received and will definitely rebook for future travel plans!”

“Laurie was great and made my first experience with Rover amazing! I felt so comfortable and relaxed knowing my fur babies were in good hands and didn't feel stressed wondering about them! The pics I received were SUCH a nice touch, like a random surprise waiting for me when I'd check my phone. I DEFINITELY recommend Laurie and will contact her in the future when she's available. ♡”

“Molly is a pro and a delight, as always! Our geriatric dogs have a lot of behavioral quirks and hurdles, and Molly always handles their needs with great aplomb. The house is in great order. She’s courteous, reliable, and downright friendly. Honestly, I can never say enough good things about Molly! The dogs adore her, too!”

“Lily stayed in our home with our two pups for 10 days. She took great care of our pups. She gave us twice a day updates including photos while we traveled international. It was so comforting. We will be reaching out to ask for her pup care in the future. Thank you Lily!!”

“Alex recently stayed in my condo and watched my french bulldog, Hazel. I cannot say enough great things about Alex! She took Hazel out on numerous adventures and always sent photo updates. Alex would be sure and text if she had any questions as well. She was absolutely wonderful and I know Hazel misses her already. I will definitely book with Alex again.”

“Emily was prompt, respectful, and communicative. She sent pictures and updates and my dog seemed very comfortable and calm when I returned. I highly recommend Emily and will happily book her again in the future if I need a dog sitter!”


“Rebecca was phenomenal with my little critters! Excellent communication throughout the week and she was able to adjust last minute to needing to give my dog extra TLC and medication. I highly recommend her for your pet-sitting needs!”

“Emily was great at communicating with us the entire stay, and we could tell from all her updates and pictures that our pups loved having her around. Our flight ended up getting delayed because of the blizzard rolling through Wisconsin this past weekend, and Emily was able to help make sure our pups were let out and fed while we figured out how to get back to Milwaukee. I would absolutely recommend Emily to anyone else looking for expert and friendly care for their pups on Rover. Thank you again!”

“Chelsea stayed at my place and took excellent care of my fur babies. She took care of all of their needs and loved them as if they were her own. I would definitely recommend Chelsea for all your pet sitting needs!”

“Elizabeth was amazing. We need a last minute dog sitter and she came through and saved vacation! She provided plenty of updates, photos, and videos. Our dog sometimes is a little shy coming out of her crate but she loved Elizabeth. We will definitely use Elizabeth's services again!!”

“Mikalanne was great with my senior pups who are definitely creatures of habit. Active communication is so reassuring when I have to be away from my pet family. Highly recommend.”

“Ashley took absolutely excellent care of our cat while we were out of the country for a week! I knew from the moment she met our cat during our meet and greet that our little girl was going to be in great hands. Throughout the trip, Ashley reached out with check-ins and photos reflecting how well she was being taken care of. She also responded quickly to any messages and went above and beyond watching our place. We (and our cat) look forward to seeing her again in the future!”

“Malissa took awesome care of Murphy over a long weekend! She spent lots of time with him and was able to handle all his unique quirks with ease. Loved having her stay with him!”

This was our second time having Nikki watch our dog for a three night stay, and everything went great as usual. My dog was expertly cared for, walked twice/day, fed and loved. My house was cleaner than we left it! Will definitely hire Nikki again she was great and kept in communication with us during our trip. Thanks again, Nikki!

Michaela did a wonderful job taking care of my two cats! With two different diets and varying levels of pickiness, they can be a little difficult to manage when we’re out of town—but she handled it perfectly! And, very communicative with updates provided while we were away. We came home to bird TV playing for our cats, which was such a considerate touch!

Lily absolutely exceeded my expectations with her attention to detail, genuine care and concern for my pups, and thoroughness! My dogs were well taken care of with feeding, walking (carefully in a heat wave), fireworks, and just general companionship. I also returned to my home probably looking better than how I left it - well cared for, cleaned, and plants alive and well. The daily updates were fantastic and very reassuring. Lily is amazing and I hope we can book again :)

Travis took incredible care of our two dogs and handled a genuinely chaotic situation with so much calm and flexibility. The night before we left, our AC failed during a heat wave. While we were stuck across the country juggling an HVAC company and a landlord who wasn’t prioritizing the issue at all, Travis kept the dogs safe, comfortable, and monitored. He checked in regularly so we knew how they were doing, and he adjusted his schedule so repairs could be made. His support made a huge difference for our peace of mind during a very stressful situation for us and I’m sure him. One of our dogs is anxious, skittish, and extremely high‑energy, and Travis did an amazing job letting her warm up at her own pace while still getting her out for consistent walks. Both dogs were well cared for the entire stay. We’re so grateful for how he handled everything and will absolutely book with him Again. Thank you Travis!

Jackie was amazing with my French Bulldog, Hazel. I was out of the country for a week and she stayed at my condo with Hazel. She sent me updates throughout the day and kept Hazel active, which I love. I would highly recommend Jackie for your dog sitting needs and will definitely use her again.
