1. Janiellee A.

“Janielle stayed in constant contact about my Beau baby and made me feel very comfortable leaving him for a few days. She took the time out of her week to meet us before to make sure we were all a good fit. She was very professional and I definitely recommend her!”


2. Barbra B.

“Barbra spent another weekend at our house with Ali. Our dog enjoyed her company and she left our house just as we left it. Barbra gave updates with great pics of our girl throughout the stay. Still highly recommend!”


3. Kelly S.

“Kelly is an amazing dog sitter and I would re-book with her any time I needed someone to house/dog sit for me!! I never once worried that Hercules was not in good hands while I was gone. She sent pictures of Hercules the entire time and kept me updated throughout my trip. It's a nice feeling to relax on your vacation without worrying about your little one at home.”


4. Celine H.

“Celine was wonderful! She provided us daily updates, was able to give our dog the medication he needed and helped out with the house. Would highly recommend!!”


5. Courtney B.

“Courtney was amazing! Booked kinda last minute on a Friday night for house sitting Saturday and she was available. She did a great job taking care of our Bosa while we were gone and very trustworthy & responsible. Got fun pics of our boy! Will definitely be booking again soon!”


6. Lilly T.

“Lilly was amazing!! She left detailed notes on what our animals got up to throughout the day. She sent pictures of our babies while we were away. She took such good care of our FIVE animals, 2 of which are seniors requiring medications and extra care. 10/10 would recommend and will be booking again for our next vacation!”


7. Meghan H.

“Meghan was great with my 2 dogs and guinea pig. She was very respectful of our home and followed all our rules we have for our dogs. Loved all the photos. Will definitely be booking with her again.”


8. Amariani V.
“Amariani is WONDERFUL! On time and so kind to me and the dog. My dog can be a handful, but she is very patient and loving. Highly recommended!”


9. Veronica G.

“Veronica house/dog sat for us while we were out of town for a long weekend. She sent daily updates and pictures at the end of each day on how Stella was doing and what they did throughout the day. This was so appreciated as we miss her when we are gone so getting pictures was awesome. This was the second time we used her once for a drop in and once for house/dog sitting and we will be using her again. Stella really took to her as well which was awesome.”


10. Pallas H.

“Pallas is absolutely amazing!! Shes super sweet and great with my dog Musu, who can be reactive with strangers at first but she was patient with her, which means the world to me. I highly recommend Pallas, and she is super communicative and sends lots of pictures. 🫶🏼 12/10!”


11. Abagail P.

“Abigail was amazing with my kitties!! I received photos every day of them. I came home to 2 very spoiled and loved kitties after Abigail watched them! 🥰”


12. Marissa P.

“Marissa was great and I can’t thank her enough for taking care of Foxy. I loved all the pictures and videos she sent and I could tell that my dog was in the perfect hands. Can’t wait to rebook!”


13. Cira S.

“Cira was excellent with my Persian cat Princess. She showed up on time and sent pictures and videos. Princess is not a friendly cat but she came out of hiding for Cira so that says a lot. Highly recommend Cira”


14. Alanis M.
“The best dog sitter/walker I’ve ever had. She would give me daily updates about Sparky and even with Sparky not being the friendliest around other dogs, Alanis would make accommodations for him. Sadly sparky has passed away but i know he was happy with alanis at his side while i was at work. Definitely recommend her.”


15. Lisa K.
“Lisa is a very caring pet person. She cares for our Cats and dogs and is very friendly. She can always be counted on to show up on time. Very reliable pet person that treats animals with respect.”


16. Zach B.

“Great job. Our dog was in great shape when we got home and happy to see us.”


17. Yvette R.

“Yvette did a great job watching our 5 month old puppy. Rover was easy to use and allowed us to take a vacation without worrying about our puppy :)”


18. Christina R.


“Christina was great - we had a bad experience with a non-Rover pet sitter, and it was a relief she arrived right on time and sent me a picture. During our "meet & greet" it was easy to see Christina was a true pet-lover and Sophie & Stella really liked her. We've been searching for a good sitter since we moved more than two years ago and now, we've found her!”


19. Bertha M.


“Bertha was awesome! She boarded out 2 pitbulls for the day and they loved her. They seemed to enjoy spending the day with Bertha and came home happy. Bertha was precisely on time to pick them up and dropped them off. She is polite, sweet, and good with large breed dogs. She sent pictures throughout the day showing our puppies playing and resting. I will be working with Bertha again in the future and would recommend her to anyone.”
