I had never used Rover or any service like it before and I was so nervous. I used the house sitting service and Anna was so sweet and took care of my two cats. Not only were the kitties taken care of and loved on, she kept the house all clean! She sent photos and when I reached out she replied in a very timely manner! Anna made my time away home a lot less stressful knowing she took care of everything so well. Any future trips, I’ll definitely be wanting Anna to watch the cats! Thank you ❤️

We hired Nadia to watch our fur baby for 8 days while we visited family cross country. She stayed at our home with our frenchy over night, each night, which was a wonderful security that he could feel at home with his things while we we were away. Nadia sent daily updates and pics. She picked up backyard potty breaks (even though I had said it wasn’t necessary), she followed his feeding, treats, toys and sleep instructions to the letter. We came home to a summary of the visit and little Polaroid pics of our baby she had taken. Nadia is truly a gem. Definitely will be using her again and without a doubt recommend her. - happy customer - Beth Miersch

Oh Marina, we adore you!! If you’ve taken the time to read any or all of Marina’s other reviews, no one is exaggerating when they say that she is an absolute gem and an incredible caretaker! This was our first time ever using Rover to hire someone to care for our 2 dogs, chickens, and our family members dog at our house while we were out of town getting married! Marina stole our dogs hearts by the first meet and greet, and we knew right away that she was the one! Marina is so very sweet, caring, loving, and trustworthy and we knew the whole time that we were gone that our dogs were in the best hands. She sent us the cutest videos while we were gone, along with a plethora of Vogue status dog model shots all throughout our trip. She also spoiled them with treats and bones and even a new toy which my dog has been carrying around ever since. She left our home in spotless condition (which is a very difficult feat with two big dogs who are constantly shedding and getting into dirt and trouble in the backyard) and even cleaned our sheets for us before we got home. We seriously can’t thank or recommend her enough and we are forever grateful for her and her love and care to our babies. ☺️🤗

This was my first time using Rover and Regan made my family and I feel comfortable leaving our fur babies with her. She was very responsive and sent many pictures of my pups while we were able to enjoy our Christmas vacation. I highly recommend Regan and we will definitely use her again in the future.

Chantal was perfect! Went above and beyond to make sure my boy was feeling comfortable. Communicated regularly and even cooked him some sweet potato and rice when his tummy was a little upset. I felt very at ease knowing he was in great, loving hands!

Very personable. He met with the dogs before the trip to make sure they were ok with him--they are large dogs and can be a handful. He sent pictures of happy dogs which is always nice to see when traveling to know they are doing well.

Athena is such a sweet caretaker!! She really cares about my adorable dog, Charu. Charu is 11 years old and is getting up there in age and Athena really caters to all of Charu’s needs as an older dog. You can really tell Athena loves her job and does everything with a happy and enthusiastic mood. I definitely recommend her for all your dogs but especially elderly dogs like my little Charu!!

My go-to dog sitter! I am verrryyyy picky because my dog has a lot of unique needs, but Kathleen followed all of my instructions to a T including following my door training where my dog is not allowed to leave the house until she sits, gives you eye contact, and waits for permission. I know she followed this because I could see it all on my Ring doorbell. It was perfect! She also knows that when out for a walk, because my dog can be reactive, my dog has to sit and wait for other dogs to pass and she isn't allowed to start walking again until she gives eye contact. It is always a bonus when she sends me pictures and videos of them playing because it takes a lot of stress off of me to see my dog having fun while I'm gone! Kathleen's energy is naturally well received by animals, so I just know your dog will love her to!

Calla and Mario are the best sitters we’ve ever had. Their trustworthiness, respectfulness and exceptional communication skills stood out since day one. They treated our house with such care, leaving it spotlessly clean, which was a wonderful surprise for our return. On top of that, they left a really heartwarming note for our return together with a couple of treats to help calm our travel-weary hunger. Most importantly of all, they showed our furry children a lot of love. Seeing our pets so happy and well-cared for in our absence was incredibly reassuring. We wholeheartedly recommend Calla and Mario to any pet parent seeking a worry-free, loving experience for their furry family members.

Olena took such good care of my senior dog, Grandam Dolores! I have a 15 year old mini aussie and Olena has always treated her like her own. She always sends me pictures of my doggo, which makes me feel so much better when I'm away from her. She also is great with giving her medicine (and she's on quite a bit). She's also cooked for Dolo, making her rice, chicken, and sweet potato, when she got sick and was vomiting/having diarrhea and not eating her normal food. She goes above and beyond! It was great to have Olena home most of the time, so Dolo wouldn't have to be alone often! I would definitely trust her to watch my dog again.
