1. Amani H.
“Amani was a wonderful house sitter and we felt at ease knowing Marley was in good hands. She’s so thoughtful and Marley didn’t seem like he missed us at all (which is always the goal). She’s the best!”
2. Vanessa T.
“Vanessa did a good job taking care of my dog and left my place very clean. She was communicative and arranged a meet and greet prior to dog sitting. I would recommend her and will be using her services again!”
3. Quynh N.
“Quynh was amazing! Our fur baby Luna is scared of new people and has separation anxiety. Quynh knew exactly how to settle her and make her comfortable. Quynh respected the rules and our home.”
4. Diego R.
“Great communication! And got some super cute pix!!!”
5. Alyssa R.
“Alyssa was a great dog and house sitter. My dog immediately liked her. She gave good updates and responded quickly. My house was spotless when she left.”
6. Blake E.
“She was so lovely! I came back to a clean house which was a plus! She sent photos of my happy animals and when I came back from my trip, they were happy! Highly recommend”
7. Tracey D.
“We usually leave our dog and cat with friends or family but having just moved to the area we needed to find an alternative arrangement. We were a little apprehensive about using Rover for the first time but after meeting Tracey, her warm demeanor instantly put us (and the pets) at ease. During the stay, Tracey maintained consistent communication, providing regular updates and even sending cute pics and videos of the pets enjoying their time. It was so reassuring to know they were in such capable hands and it really helped us to relax and enjoy our time away not worrying about the fur kids! In addition to her exceptional care for the pets, Tracey also took great care of our home and left everything neat and tidy. Overall, we cannot recommend her highly enough and we are so lucky to have found such a reliable and qualified carer on Rover. We will definitely be reaching out to her again to look after our pets.”
8. Denise R.
“Denise was an absolute gem as our dog and cat sitter over the weekend! Our animals were calm and visibly happy in her care. Denise's punctuality was impressive, and she left our house clean and tidy. We are beyond pleased with her services and will definitely choose her again in the future. She's a true professional and a delight to work with!”
9. Mélanie G.
“Melanie is wonderful! She is very communicative, respectful, and responsible. She was very caring to our pets and sent us lots of pictures and updates. We will definitely love to have Melanie petsit for us again in the future.”
10. Jacob C.
“Wonderful with animals!!! True gem of a human.”
11. Michelle D.
“Michelle is very responsible and a proven star pet mom of three wonderful kitties. I have known her for several years and she is one of the most responsible people I know. She pays tenacious attention to detail and is ever aware of everything going on around her. She'd make a great pet sitter.”
12. Tanny T.
“Tanny is so easy to work with! She set up a meet and greet for our pups to get to know her and really connected with them while getting to understand their routine and our needs. When the time came to sit them, she was on time and immediately took the dogs outside to play. During the stay, she sent us pictures and updates as the night went on! We can’t recommend her enough for the amazing experience and we (and our dogs) are excited to work with her again!!”
13. Leslie C.
“Leslie was absolutely incredible and hands-down the best dog sitter we’ve had. We really appreciated how attentive and caring she was to our dog, Mimo, and to our space throughout the holiday weekend. Not only was she prompt and communicative, but she went above and beyond to ensure Mimo was taken care of, and always sending great updates in the process. We’re looking forward to the next opportunity Leslie can watch again!”
14. Lucy H.
“Lucy did a wonderful job house sitting with my two dogs. She sent pictures everyday of them eating, going on walks and hanging out together. She also cared for my yard and house. I would definitely recommend Lucy!”
15. Margaret F.
“Margaret took great care of the pups. I think the dogs had such a great time in her care, they would have liked us to take a few more days of vacation. In all seriousness, Margaret is responsible, caring and we'll definitely reach out to her the next time we need pet sitting. I highly recommend her.”
16. AngelicaMaria L.
“Angelica has watched my toy poodle on many occasions. She is professional and keeps me in the loop with everything Coco is doing, she will update me with photos and on occasion has face timed me. She's works around my schedule when I'm unable to walk coco or watch her on a weekend I'm away”
17. Alexandra A.
“I am thrilled to recommend Alexandra for a position with Rover. Having known her for several years, I can attest to her exceptional trustworthiness, responsibility, and genuine love for animals. Alexandra has always demonstrated an outstanding level of responsibility in every task she undertakes. Whether it’s managing complex projects or handling day-to-day responsibilities, she approaches each with meticulous attention to detail and a high degree of reliability. Her organizational skills and punctuality are second to none, making her someone you can always count on. Her passion for animals is truly inspiring. Alexandra has a natural affinity for pets and consistently shows a deep, compassionate understanding of their needs. She is not only attentive and caring but also goes the extra mile to ensure animals are comfortable, happy, and well-cared for. Her ability to connect with pets and provide them with the love and attention they deserve is remarkable. In summary, Alexandra’s trustworthiness, responsibility, and love for animals make her an outstanding candidate for any role involving pet care. I am confident that she will exceed expectations and make a positive impact through Rover.”
18. Rae P.
“Puffy had super fun with Rae and her dog. I recommend her to everyone who need the service. She is super caring and very calm around dogs. Send the updates about puffy frequently.”
19. Sam C.
“Sam was great with our big, young and anxious dog. When I got home she was relaxed and happy- a testament to good care. We will definitely be using Sam again!”
20. Kendall F.
“Kendall did so good watching my Nala! She made sure to always communicate with me and even got her to nail a new trick (spin). Nala is a Labrador retriever and sometimes isn’t the best on the leash but she did such a good job with her. She is very trustworthy and left my home just as good (if not better) than I left it. I would highly recommend booking with Kendall.”
