“Patrick has watched 2 of my doggies and he is so great with them! He gave them lots of love and took them for walks. He will listen to you about their daily wants and needs. My doggies love him!”


2. Ariel H.


“I can't sing Aerial's praises enough!! We have had her sit for our girls several times, and she’s the best sitter we have ever had- and we’ve had many! She was proactive to ask for a phone call prior to our meet up to ask great questions about the one chihuahua we had at the time, and what she could do to provide the best care for her (which no other sitter has done). Martini is an older girl with congestive heart failure so we like to keep her as calm and happy as possible and prefer someone to be at our home more often than not. Not only did Ariel provide the best care and attention possible with walks, buggy rides and lots of couch and cuddle time, she also stays here at the house (or is out walking them) pretty much the entire time -which she totally does not have to do and is not expected, but she didn’t want to leave Martini's side. Before our first sit I told Aerial that we were thinking about adopting another senior dog and she was so happy to hear that as she has fostered many dogs in the past and is a huge proponent of that. She told me that if we ended up adopting another dog before our trip that she would be more than happy to help Martini assimilate to the new dog as she has lots of experience with that. We found the perfect companion dog for Martini just days before our trip and I don't think we would have felt comfortable bringing a new dog home or going on the trip if it weren't for the loving expert care that we knew Aerial would provide. She even offered to come over a few nights prior to our trip to sit with Martini and our new chihuahua Frida while we went out to dinner with friends so they could get used to her and her dog Brandon prior to our trip. That was so thoughtful and appreciated and just another example of how she goes above and beyond even though she doesn't have to. Her assistance in assimilating Frida into our household was such a gift! She is like a dog whisperer and an angel at the same time 🥰 Her dog Brandon is such a sweet boy and took to Martini and Frida right away and you could tell they were going to be great friends. He brings the same loving sweet energy as Aerial does, so don’t let that deter you from hiring her if you are worried about having another dog in your house. Martini usually ignores other dogs but you can tell she loves Brandon. The photos and updates Aerial sends are so great and sweet! When traveling we feel we can totally relax and enjoy our trip without a worry about how our dogs are doing with her loving care for them. 10/10 recommend her expert care”


3. Jane R.


“Jane was really wonderful with our shy rescue dog Marcie. She played with her and let her rest, was attentive and patient. We will definitely ask her back.”


4. María E.

“María is always so great with our dog! She takes fantastic care of him, and always takes him on a little adventure which we really appreciate!”


5. Julia F.

“I highly recommend Julia! She watched my two pups on short notice and was absolutely amazing! She communicated with me the entire time and sent pics. My pups were so happy and relaxed when I returned home. I’m grateful to have found such a kind and reliable pet sitter! I will definitely continue using Julia’s services in the future!”


6. Mari R.
“Mari was so wonderful on every level. She was friendly, trustworthy, understanding, communicative, respectful, and so good with our dog Nala. It was such a blessing for us to know our beloved pet was safe in such good hands. Thank you Mari!!!!!”


7. Amanda O.

“Amanda was a wonderful dog sitter for our fur babies! Not only was she communicative and caring, but when our flights go cancelled, she stepped in for an emergency extra night. We could tell by our boys reaction upon our return that they had been well-cared for. We hope to have Amanda care for them again!”


8. Leslie H.

“Leslie was great with our dog Frankie, sent us frequent updates, followed all our guidelines, and kept our house clean while we were on vacation. She went above and beyond when our flight home was delayed an extra day. She was flexible and stayed an extra night while still making time the following day to drop in on Frankie to walk and feed her. She really gave us peace of mind! We highly recommend Leslie for any rover services.”


9. Leo H.

“We went out of town for a few days and had Leo house sit and watch our two pups. We loved the daily updates and the dogs seemed very happy when we got home. We really appreciated Leo taking care of our home and our dogs while we were away and would definitely hire him again.”


10. Tristan P.

“Tristan was very communicative during his stay w/ my pup. Sent pictures, took her on walks, and showed her all the love she asked for (she’s a stubborn husky). If there was anything he was unsure of he immediately messaged me to get clarification. Friendly and active, I will def be booking w/ him again.”


11. Brandy W.

“Brandy did a wonderful job staying with our dog in our home. Our dog was well taken care of, and our house looked perfect when we arrived home. Brandy kept us updated and sent pictures every day. We highly recommend her and will definitely book her again,”


12. Nikolas G.

“Nikolas not only took great care of our girls, he left our home super neat and clean. He was very communicative in the lead up to his stay, and he provided timely updates during the weekend. We were very pleased with his service and care. Thanks Nikolas. Sadie and Gladys are ready for us to go out of town again so that they can have a visit with you.”


13. Maureen F.

“I am so grateful to have found Maureen at the last minute to care for my much beloved doggie and eagerly look forward to her help in the future. She far exceeds even the highest standard when it comes to dog care. She is caring, extremely thorough and detail-oriented with enthusiasm. She will go above and beyond so look no further if you are searching for someone to take care of your furry friend.”


14. Dinara B.
“Dinara provided exceptional care for my cat. Her genuine love, reliability, and personalized attention set her apart. Regular updates and responsible service made an experience outstanding. I highly recommend Dinara to fellow pet owners.”




15. Carolyn Q.

“Carolyn gave us such peace of mind. She immediately engaged with Bentley which allowed us to ease out the door. We had never left him before and it went amazingly perfect! He played, ate and got tired. He didn’t exhibit any stress. We wish Carolyn lived in COLORADO!! Thank you Rover for having Carolyn on your team.”


16. Audrey P.

“First time leaving our new puppy for 10 days. Sent pics and updates daily, which made bring away so much better. Our house and puppy were well cared for and we’ve already booked Audrey for another vacation. Highly recommend!”


17. Callahan R.

“Callahan watched our pets (dog and two cats) for a long weekend and everything went well! Callahan was kind and responsive, the pets all seemed to love her pretty much immediately, and everything and everyone was in a great condition when we returned. The pictures she sent were adorable and allowed me to relax on my trip and not worry about the pets at home. Highly recommend!”


18. Tara S.

“I almost don't want to leave this review because I want Tara to be available to watch my dog Charlie at any time ;) Tara was AMAZING!! She sent updates every day and was very engaged with Charlie. Tara was respectful of the rules that we set for Charlie and it was obvious how happy he was to have her around. 10000% would recommend.”


19. Melissa H.


“Melissa did an amazing dog watching my babies!! I felt comfortable with her coming to watch them in my home. I didn’t worry once while out enjoying my weekend getaway. The dogs were happy and not too excited to see me so I know they had a blast!! Thank you Melissa!!!”


20. Nicholas D.
“Nick has been pet sitting for us for 8+ years. He is enthusiastic, responsible and truly loves dogs. He always spends time playing and walking them, making sure they get enough activity. I highly recommend him, especially if you have high energy dogs. He is also great at training reinforcement. He's taught our dogs a few things in just a weekend. Brenda N”
