Michael did a great job. He asked about our dogs feeding schedule, what they like to do for fun, and was very responsive to our communications. He was very respectful of our house and left it clean. We would use him again.

This was our first time using Rover and we were so happy by choosing Casey. He immediately wanted to schedule a "meet and greet" at the house so the dogs can be comfortable. Soon after, we left for our wedding and our babies were in his hands. We were worried at first, but Casey reassured us instantly with photos of the doggies loving life. He always checked in with us, and sent us photos. We had such a great experience with him and Rover. I recommend Casey for any dog child owner in the area. His knowledge, attitude, and comfortability is reassuring :D Thank you so much! -The Rileys

I cannot emphasize enough how far above and beyond Sydney went for my dog Tink. Tink has a lot of trauma from an abusive past, and getting comfortable with new people is very very hard for her, especially in her old age. I needed a sitter for four nights, and I didn’t have anyone Tink was already comfortable with, so I was very worried about finding someone. Over the few weeks prior to my leaving, Sydney met with me two separate times for meet-and-greets (one in public, one at my house); she also was very flexible and willing to do a number of drop-in visits that started with me present, then I left, for purposes of getting Tink comfortable with her in the house. By the time I left for my trip, Tink was comfortable enough with her that I actually wasn’t even worried about leaving my baby—and by the time I got back, she and Tink were actually bonded. Tink went from barking and snapping at Sydney on day one to face kisses and asking for belly rubs, and that is all due to Sydney’s commitment, responsibility, and genuine care for animals. I would (and will, if need arises) trust her 100% to watch Tink or any of my other animals again. 15/10!!

Thank you Jenna for your tender loving care of Alex while I was away. I know it wasn't easy, as he also started a new medication (that you picked up for me!!) along with his other meds. Just getting him to take his meds is quite a task. I will certainly contact you again the next time we are out of town. Thank you, thank you!!

I have known Samantha, or Sammi, for about eleven years. I have watched her discover her gift of versatility through raising her childhood dog, Buster, to now raising her own cat, Rajah. I saw Buster spark Sammi's passion for animals at a young age. When she has a task, job, or even just a newly-found interest, Sammi is not only dedicated but extremely determined to perform as best as she possibly can; she is someone who will not rest until something is done the right way, as she sets very high standards for herself. Over the years, Sammi has taught herself an abundance of skills ranging from high-level dog training, to the art of dog grooming. I have a Staffordshire Terrier mix, Sadie, that I rescued some years back. She is a sweet girl, but she can be unpredictable in public as she tends to be reactive towards most dogs. Sadie is extremely strong; she is not an easy one to handle in public. There are very few people that I trust to be alone with/caring for Sadie if I am away; it is not worth it to me to risk the chance of something happening with her/to her. With that being said, Sammi is one of those few people. To be honest, she might be better at handling Sadie than me at times. She helped me train Sadie when I first adopted her and still continues to give me tips and tricks when I reach out for guidance. Sammi is the person who can be trusted to keep your pet(s) safe, happy, and entertained when you are gone, leaving you comfortable and stress-free. I personally understand how difficult and worrisome it can be to have another person care for your pets, but I can confidently say that Sammi is someone that you can trust to provide the best service and care for your pets; she will treat them as she would her own. I cannot recommend Sammi enough to be the person you rely on to provide any service for your pets; they will always be in the best hands.

Our Lab mix Jolene can be indifferent to non-family members, but she took to Keith right away, and is happy when he comes to watch her. Keith is always friendly, polite and caring. You can tell he really enjoys walking and playing with dogs. My house is always just as clean as when we took off, and Jolene seems a bit sad to see Keith leave.

Alex V. cares for our standard poodle, Lana (4 years old), for the past 3-4 years and the love and caring he has for her shows by Lana getting excited with anticipation hearing his name being mentioned knowing he’s coming by to visit her. You can tell a lot how an animal feels about a person when he or she greets that person when they see him or her. Lana sure let’s Alex V. know when she sees him how much she cares for him. Alex has a deep love and caring for all animals but especially dogs and cats and always look out for their well-being.

Madison was a wonderful sitter for my dog Rincon and small pets. She took the time for a thorough meet & greet to make sure we were all comfortable. During her stay I received daily updates, photos, and videos of our pets. She was flexible with the schedule and responsive to questions. I would highly recommend Madison and will definitely be using her as our pet sitter again. Thank you Madison!

Lisa was exceptional with our dog and as a house sitter generally. We have a miniature pincher who is a total sweetheart once you get to know him, but our dog has pretty significant fear aggression problems (he is a rescue and we are working on it). We were especially nervous to leave our furry friend alone with a stranger and were concerned about how he would be handled. Lisa took the time to ask the right questions and made multiple visits to our home ahead of time to get to know our dog and have him become comfortable and trust her; She walked him and even had a joint session with our dog trainer in order to understand our doggy’s quirks and needs. And it worked! He absolutely ADORES her. It felt very reassuring to have Lisa pay such personal attention to Oliver’s unique needs and anxieties. On top of that, she cooked for him too! (Following doggy diet restrictions of course) Lisa was very communicative while we were away, updating us regularly on the household and was great with our other animals too. (We have 2 rats and a red eared slider turtle) She made sure they were all fed and well taken care of. Additionally, she gave them all special meals for Christmas. The house was in great condition when we returned home and all of our animals seemed happy and content. We are incredibly appreciative of the clear effort and care she provided for our family, and we have every intention of booking her again. We really can’t recommend Lisa enough!

This was our first time using Rover and we were very nervous. We have had great experience with dogsitters AND awful ones in the past. We were looking for someone responsive, responsible, calm, loving towards the dogs, good communication and trustworthy. Bryan was quick to respond to messages and to meet with us and our dogs. We came home after our trip and the dogs were happy, healthy and well-taken care of. The house was good also. We are very happy to have found Bryan and will definitely use him again!
