1. Ben E.

“Absolutely amazing. Great updates of going on walks, play times and updates during house sitting. Ben connected with our dogs from the start during the meet and greet which was great. Over all, this was a great experience and would definitely book Ben for future house sitting with our fur babies.”


2. Vanessa V.

“Attentive to our dogs separation anxiety and needs. House was left is good condition. Responsive to messages sent. Appreciate Vanessa looking after our dog!”


3. Stacy P.

“She did a great job. She provide regular updates on request. There was a small mixup where I came home before the booking was complete and I thought I explained, but even today I see that I booked from the 25 to 28th. When I flew out on the the 25th and flew back on the 27th. So that was on me. She was kind to Thanos, coming home he appeared to be calm, well fed, he didn't make any mess in our place. She stayed there and it wasn't messy, nothing damaged. Thanos was a happy boy and the space was taken care of. I really appreciate Stacy taking care of our baby.”

6. Amanda J.

“Amanda did a great job! My dogs were very happy when I came home and my house looked just like when I left. One dog had a birthday and she got special treats for them. I got pictures of them while I was gone and she left some cute pictures of them when she left. I will definitely have her back!”


7. Julia B.

“This was my first time using Rover and Julia was awesome! She has great communication and even sent me pictures and videos of my dog! I’ll definitely have her stay with my dog again!!”


8. Brittany E.


“This is my first time using Rover and we struck gold with Brittany. We decided to look into house sitting instead of boarding our 6 mo pup. It was a bit last minute and we were still able able to fit in a meet and greet before she stayed over. Brittany has pets of her own and asked all the right questions about our pup. She stayed two nights. She kept us updated with photos and quickly responded to my good morning texts! We will absolutely book her again.”


9. Aaron F.
About: I have some experience taking care of neighborhood dogs and cats, but most of my care experience comes from the animals I grew up with in my own home. I grew up with bigger dogs most of my childhood and even had a cat for a short time! I love all animals, big or small. I am a student who is quite involved on campus. I may have some availability during the day, but mostly in the evenings and on weekends. When at your place, I am comfortable taking your pups on walks, playing with them inside or outside, and doing really anything else they may need. I also love playing with cats or cuddling up with either of your pets on the couch if they just need some affection while you’re away.


10. Theresa O.

“Toby and Tinker did well with Theresa staying with them for 2 night, including 2 1/2 days. Theresa communicated well. She did a couple extra jobs I asked her to do, and even took her linens off the bed and washed them before we got home. This was the very first time either dog had spent the night without one of us. I would book Theresa again if she is available in the future when we might want her.”


11. Madeline G.
“Maddie is a loving, responsible, and attentive pet mom who treats every animal she meets like her own. She is always extremely sweet and caring when she comes to watch my two pups. Your pets will love her!”


12. Crystal W.

“Crystal took such wonderful care of my 2 babies (cats) and provided lots of pics and video clips. I liked knowing that my fur kids were in good hands while I was away. Will definitely book again with Crystal and highly recommend her services!”


13. Sophia B.
“Sophie b. has been great with our pets (3 cats)! She has been extremely flexibility when we've requested short-notice check-ins or pet care and is thorough in asking questions before pet sitting for the first time. In addition, she has gone above and beyond to send pictures and sweet videos of our pets to us while away which gave a great peace of mind! The cats were comfortable with her from the start and I would 100% recommend Sophie b. for Rover!”


14. Sophie B.
“Sophie has an ability to connect with animals, she is understanding of their needs and ensures they receive the highest standard of care. Her love and affection for pets are evident in the way she interacts with them, providing not only the necessary care but also the companionship that animals thrive on. She is highly dependable, attentive to every detail. She kept me well-informed about my pet's well-being. She's an outstanding choice for anyone seeking a loving and trustworthy caregiver for their pets.”


15. Briana S.

“Briana took great care of our dogs. She sent pictures to us and provided updates for how they were doing. We will definitely be calling her again!”


16. Andrea G.
“Andrea was a wonderful pet sitter for my pup Coal! She has a background in dog training, so we knew she was perfect for the job as Coal get be a handful. She even took him on walks and kept us updated daily. Can’t recommend her enough. Thank you, so much Andrea!”
