1. Sarah H.

“Sarah was amazing with our lil girl! She communicated with updates and sent pictures daily, very attentive to our needs as fur parents. Our lil girl was well taken care of and loved for the whole time we were away. Wonderful experience with Sarah, will use again! Thank you Sarah ?”


2. Tynesha D.

“Tynesha was great with Ziggy he took to her right away! She kept me in the loop with his needs throughout my trip and treated my home with respect. I would definitely book with Tynesha again!”


3. Kara R.

“Kara was wonderful with my dog, Fernanda! Kara is a great proactive communicator, keeping me well informed of Fernanda's behaviors and activities. She also sent some truly delightful photos that really brightened my day! Kara clearly cares and knows about dogs, including reactive ones like mine. I'd recommend her to anyone!”


4. Jennifer G.

“Jennifer watched my four pets for over a week while I was at a family reunion. My pets instantly liked her. She is responsive and communicative. It went smoothly, and she handled last minute changes with grace. I came back to healthy pets. Absolutely recommended for pet sitting. Thank you Jennifer!”


5. Sarah R.

“Sarah was great! She did in-home pet sitting for our dog and cat while we were on vacation. She sent daily picture updates which is nice when you are missing your pets. We were first time users of Rover which was a bit nerve-wracking but Sarah was recommended to us and we couldn't be happier with how smooth it went and how good she was to work with! We hope Sarah is available next time we need pet sitting.”


6. Leonor D.

“Leonor was awesome with our dog! She stayed in contact with us and our flight times to ensure he wasn’t alone for too long. She walked him, sent photos and I felt very at ease that Charlie was taken care of! Added bonus that he warmed up to her right away since he usually gets nervous around new people. She really does such an amazing job, we will definitely be booking in the future!”


7. Desislava G.

“Desi was wonderful, she came and meet the dogs and us before we officially booked. She was accompanying when I forgot to book one of the dates and had to add it last minute. She brought treats for the dogs. She sent us regular updates and photos of walks and the dogs relaxing. The dogs seemed very happy while we were away. We will definitely rebook with her next time we go out of town.”


8. Rachel B.

“Rachel was an absolutely fantastic sitter! She responded quickly to messages, maintained my (spoiled) cat’s specific routine, left the house spotless, and I returned to a happy relaxed cat.”




9. Zack P.

“It has taken me a bit to get to this review, sorry Zack. Zack was amazing! Not only did he take excellent care of Rex, he text me photos, and even took him to the K9 swim for us. The best part of having Zack sit for Rex, was being able to relax on our vacation. Rex is very spoiled with love, and needs his human contact. He is also recovering from a back injury, so needs special handling getting on and off of things. Zack was the perfect sitter. In addition my home was not only as I had left it, it was cleaner. Something that had never happened with sitters I employed by knowing them as family or friends. I not only recommend Zack highly, I recommend using Rover to find a sitter for your dog over using family & friends. The professionalism was well worth it.”




10. Erica & Christopher K.


“Erica went above and beyond for our dogs. She helped us out in a bind with a last-minute booking/availability and quickly came by to meet the pups. It was so nice to leave town for a night and not have to worry about them, and she kept us updated often with texts and pictures. Highly recommend! Will definitely be booking with her again. Thank you Erica!!!”




11. Megan R.

“Megan kept me updated with pet pics during my ten days away. She was easy to communicate with and I came home to a clean house and happy animals. Can’t ask for much more!”


12. Jennifer F.

“Thank you again! It's amazing to see our two grumpy weirdos being taken care of so well while we're out of town. Jeni is great at handling their big personalities and also giving them meds and ensuring they get all the cuddles they want. BIG BIG THANK YOU!”


13. Amy E.

“Amy is amazing and super professional. She has taken care of my dog and house a few times and goes above and beyond to send updates and take care of my most precious things! I highly recommend.”


14. Izabelle K.

“Traveled out of state for Christmas and had the best gift from Izabelle! She stayed over in our home caring for our little Milo, who can be a little much and who needs someone with a lot of patience and understanding. Izabelle did just that and more, during the busiest time of year! Izabelle was a great house guest and dog sitter and would very much so, recommend her to care for your 🐾 loved ones!”


15. Jennifer O.

“Jennifer did a great job of caring for my Sadie and my home. I will definitely have her back in the future.”


16. Chris L.

“Chris was fantastic with our two dogs and our home while we were away for a week. Not only was he reliable, communicative and attentive but he was willing to lengthen his stay on short notice. His knowledge and experience with animals, in addition to his love for them, is very apparent. I would highly recommend him for any of your pet sitting needs!”


17. Laura T.

“Laura did a great job watching Whiskey. She sent me daily updates and photos too, which was nice to see how my pup was doing each day. I will use her again for sure.”


18. Ellen F.

“Ellen did a great job watching Obi! She was super friendly and helpful with setting up a slightly unusual dog-watching schedule and was always very communicative and responsive with any questions! Obi loved her and I loved the photos I of my boy that she send me while I was away. I would recommend Ellen and would book her again if our schedules matched.”


19. Reagan Z.

“Reagan took such good care of our dog! She exceeded expectations with communication and sent us multiple picture updates throughout the stay. We will definitely be repeat customers!”


20. Sydney C.

“Sydney was so awesome with our dog Bear! She was able to sit on short notice and her extensive experience working with dogs made me feel so comfortable having her take care of our dog! She left the house in great condition, gave us updates and pictures of Bear, and went above and beyond to help out with our dog and house. I would recommend her to anyone!”
