“Femke was the best! She clicked with Fernet immediately and from the photos she sent, he spent most of our trip on her lap :). Femke was incredibly communicative and made sure we had daily updates with photos and videos of thier adventures. Would definitely book again!”
“We couldn't have asked for a better cat sitter than Sammy (Yue Yue)! She took excellent care of our two kitties, keeping us updated with plenty of photos and videos. She spent quality time playing with them and made sure they were happy and well-fed. Even with our somewhat ambiguous feeding instructions, she figured out a schedule that worked for the cats and kept us in the loop to make sure it worked for us too. Sammy was always punctual, polite, and professional. She kept us informed about everything, including when one of our kitties threw up. Since we’ve been logging these incidents to figure out the cause, her updates and continued monitoring were very helpful. She also replaced a cat food plate that got accidentally chipped and kept us informed. Sammy truly went above and beyond—not only did she replace our olive oil when it ran out (which she absolutely didn’t have to do!), but she also assembled an unexpected kitty scratcher that arrived with a litter delivery. On top of all that, she kept the house clean, making sure everything was tidy when we returned. Her thoughtfulness and attention to detail gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. Highly recommend Sammy to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and dedicated pet sitter. We’ll definitely be reaching out to her again in the future!”
“We really appreciated Lauren staying at our house to watch our pup while we were gone. He took to her right away and wanted to play/be by her side constantly. She provided daily video/photo updates and was always quick to respond if we had a question. Our dog prefers constant attention, so it was great that she worked from home and could provide that for him!”
“We have been using Ozcan and Nilay every single time we go away, and they are truly incredible. They absolutely spoil Guapo and treat him as if he were their own pet. Their communication is amazing—we get regular updates and pictures, which completely removes any stress while we're apart. They stay at our home while watching him, and we always return to a house that is perfectly clean and respected. Guapo is just as excited when he sees them as when we return home( sometime more) which helps give us total peace of mind. Look no further than Ozcan and Nilay!”
“Aijalon is amazing. She took such great care of my cat. She's friendly, kind, communicative, and an absolute delight. I was away two weeks and never worried about the wellbeing of my pet. Would absolutely be thrilled to have her back. Highly recommend Aijalon with your pets and home.”
“Joslyn was very helpful with a somewhat unconventional and last minute puppy-sitting situation last weekend. She is great at following instructions and has a gentle and mellow vibe. Thank you, Joslyn!”
“Celine was so communicative and responsive the entire time we were gone. We loved getting regular pictures of our pup and really felt she was in great hands. Highly recommend Celine!”
“Linda was great! She was so patient and kind with our shy dog. She sent lots of updates and followed all of the instructions. Would definitely recommend!”
“Anita was a wonderful sitter for our larger Alaskan Malamute, Smokey. It was obvious during our meet & greet that Anita forms wonderful connections with furry friends and so we were very comfortable leaving Smokey with Anita for our time away especially considering that we would not have any cellular connection. Smokey was at ease upon our return and Anita not only took great care of our furry son but also our home. We would welcome Anita back into our home in a heartbeat and can’t thank her enough for a wonderful first time sit through Rover.”
“My dog sitter got sick and had to cancel at the last minute, so found Shihua close to my leave date. She was nothing but responsive, came over for a meet and greet, asked all the right questions, etc. My dog took to her sweet and kind personality, got lots of updates, and the 4-day sit went great! She also left the house in tip-top shape! I would definitely use Shihua again and recommend her without question.”
“Sara is so respectful of my space when I travel and she takes great care of my cat. He's old and cranky but she formed a bond with him that he had no complaints when I came home. I'd request her again!”
“Bonnie’s calm demeanor was perfect for my anxious dog during a 10-day trip. Bonnie took on Taters when my dog was having diarrhea and took great care of her. We got updates nearly daily and returned to a clean home and a dog with normal poops.”
“Ella did an exceptional job watching our dog Rufus! She was extremely kind, sent daily updates with pictures and took care of a pup who can be a handful. Rufus requires special care during his walks due to reactivity and takes daily oral medication. She managed both of these needs seamlessly. I would highly recommend Ella!”
“Lauren is beyond great with our high-energy Labradoodle. She is very communicative, sends us photos and videos. She is flexible and easy to work with. Lauren is a find!”
“Sukufe was amazing! She came in confident and very loving to our animals. Our puppy ran out of the house to greet her like she has known her all her life! Sukufe took great care of both my 5 month old pup and our 11 year old cat. Both loved her. I recommend her and excited to have her house sit next!”
“Marlee is THE BEST!! She stepped in last minute to pet sit our 1.5 yr golden retriever and he was in great hands. She was on top of it with his meds and activity needs and she sent lots of photos. Our neighbors even asked for her contact info because they want her to pet sit for them.”

It was a great experience working with Bri! She took wonderful care of my Finn, and was flexible with my schedule, and very easy to work with- Bri sent daily photos of Finn with progress notes on his behavior. I absolutely recommend Bri as a house sitter with your fur babies and look forward to working with her again. Bri provides exceptional care, and it was clear that Finn loved being with her. Five really big ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️’s
Gordon is really a cat-man! Our cat liked him since the moment he arrived, which is a sign of “instant authentication!” He also shared updates with photos while sitting and playing with him, I recommend him as a stay home friend for your kitties!
Lauren agreed to help us last minute for an unexpected need to travel. She met us same day for a meet & greet and we felt our medically complex dog was in good hands with her. During our time away, she sent plenty of updates and followed instructions well. When our flight got majoy delayed, she was gracious about it and stayed extra so he wouldn’t be alone. Would definitely recommend!
Selena was the 3rd Rover sitter I used in 2 years and she was absolutely fantastic! 5 stars is not enough! She consistently texted me pictures of Sparky multiple times a day which was reassuring and put a smile on my face. My condo was just as I left it, the dishwasher and the kitchen garbage area were emptied which I didn’t expect, the sign of a genuine person. Plus, she washed Sparky’s water and food bowl. When I take my next trip I won’t hesitate in reaching out to her again. My biggest concern is she’ll probably be booked!
We loved Jennifer!!! She took care of our 4 month old staffy puppy in our home for 10 days. He is a hand full and a lot of work! We came home to a clean house and a happy puppy. We were nervous to leave him but Jennifer checked in frequently and sent lots of pictures so we were able to relax and enjoy our vacation. Don’t hesitate to book Jennifer to watch your fur baby. We will absolutely have her back!
Shihua took exceptional care of my two pups, paying close attention to their medications and routines. She was an excellent communicator, sending frequent updates and videos that made me feel connected and reassured. I also came home to a spotless house. I’m so grateful, and would absolutely trust her with our dogs and home again!
Anita is a godsend . Believe the reviews!! After a nightmarish rover experience where our dogs were harmed at a dog sitters home, we reluctantly made the decision to hire a house sitter. As everyone knows this is not easy to do for the first time. The minute I met Anita I knew I had made the right decision. She took the most phenomenal care of my 2 dogs : a rowdy 2 year old golden retriever & an old man cockapoo. 4+ videos , pictures and updates a day. So much exercise , so much socialization. She left our house much cleaner than we left it lol! No need to go through this process again as Anita is the only sitter we’ll ever need !
Kaia took incredible care of my dog, Ghost, while I was away. From the moment she started, she was communicative, thoughtful, and incredibly attentive. She kept me updated regularly with messages and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind knowing Ghost was happy and well cared for. Ghost can be particular about his routine, and Kaia went above and beyond to make sure he stayed on schedule with his walks, meals, and playtime. It was clear that she genuinely cared about his well-being and treated him as if he were her own. I would absolutely trust Kaia to watch Ghost again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, compassionate, and responsible pet sitter. Thank you, Kaia, for making it possible for me to travel without worry!
We have been using Ozcan and Nilay every single time we go away, and they are truly incredible. They absolutely spoil Guapo and treat him as if he were their own pet. Their communication is amazing—we get regular updates and pictures, which completely removes any stress while we're apart. They stay at our home while watching him, and we always return to a house that is perfectly clean and respected. Guapo is just as excited when he sees them as when we return home( sometime more) which helps give us total peace of mind. Look no further than Ozcan and Nilay!
I cannot recommend Sasha enough!!! She is a genuine dog lover and it shows in everything she does. She sent us lots of photos and videos which we super appreciated being far away from our lil guy. She’s also a dog trainer so is very knowledgeable in how to handle dogs and their sensitivities, especially our reactive dog. She was also a fab house guest and made everything clean and nice before she left. Thank you for being amazing Sasha!
Leaving our dog is always the hardest part of travelling. Mike made it much, much easier. Our dog Elle is pretty energetic and he kept up with her perfectly. Lots of updates, and he took great care of both Elle and our place. If you need any sort of dog sitting, I’d absolutely recommend Mike.
