“We recently had Samuel look after our dog in our home while we traveled for a few days. He offered a meet and greet and explained very thoroughly how he’d care for our dog. He listened and asked questions about our dog’s routine to make sure he provides the best care. While we were traveling, we received daily text messages with pictures and updates of our dog. We had a great experience working with Sam, Thank You for taking such amazing care of our dog and home. Mini really enjoyed your company! We will be in contact again!”

“This was my first time in about 3 years of having to leave Xena alone with a sitter, I'm not sure who was more anxious, me or the dog. After the meet and greet with Leah, I knew that her and Xena would be friends. Leah was great at keeping my nerves at bay by providing updates and sending pictures. Xena was genuinely excited to have Leah watch her and that makes me happy. I could not recommend Leah enough - she was fantastic.”
“Braydon took very good care of our dogs during our 2 weeks abroad, at our house. The dogs were happy when we got home which was comforting for us. Braydon was very responsible and sent many daily updates which we appreciated so much knowing the dogs one senior and one much younger were taken care of and healthy. We would definitely recommend and book again. Thank you Braydon and Rover.”
“Jessica was fantastic watching Bucky for me while went to the movies. Both Bucky and I have separation anxiety so I wanted someone with him. She took excellent care of him, playing with him, making sure he ate, and even walked him twice. She was very sweet and professional I will book with her again jd”
“Jeremiah house sat and looked after our two dogs, he kept us updated throughout our trip, sending pictures and recapping the events of their day. He was courteous, professional and our dogs seemed to thrive under his care. This was our first experience with Rover and we really appreciate the level of attention and communication we received. We will definitely book with him again!”
“Patricia was a wonderful house/pet sitter for my german shepherd, Kyta! Kyta was very nervous at first and Patricia took the time to make Kyta comfortable and get to know her. Patricia sent us daily updates with photos and videos and keep us in the know about what was going on with her. She was also a great house guest. I definitely recommend Patricia to take care of your pets!”
“Sonia was so kind to take a last minute booking for a family emergency. She came for a meet and greet and asked great questions to make sure she was prepared. She was communicative and sent pictures throughout the stay, and followed through the schedule we had discussed. She definitely seems like a dog whisperer, when she came to bring the key back, my dog stood at the door watching her! I would absolutely welcome her back to house/dog sit.”
“Victoria was super responsive and took great care of our dogs, plus lots of pictures and updates! She also left our house in great condition, even after all the rain. We will definitely be hiring her again!”
“Gabby is great! She stayed with our 4 fur babies. She got our scared one to come out of her shell the first time she met her. That never happens even for our family members. She also took them on longer walks than I had been able to. She took great care of them even with all 4 being completely different personalities.”

Shavano Heights pet parents share their Rover experiences
Dena is amazing and warmhearted when it comes to loving my fur babies! I feel very much at peace and at ease knowing she is in my home giving my babies the attention they need and deserve! I will have her as my nanny moving forward knowing my babies were also very happy and loved on from the pics she sent.
Keishli was absolutely amazing taking care of our wheelie baby Archie! It was our first time having a sitter watch him for a full week after his disability, and I cannot thank Keishli enough for taking such good care of him and keeping us updated throughout the week. Archie warmed up to her right away, and we can’t wait to book again for future house visits!
I can not say enough amazing things about Robyn! She came to meet with us beforehand to get to to know the dogs, and to make sure it was a good personality fit. Our dogs, Rory and Frankie, took to her right away. She was extremely communicative and timely prior to, during, and after the booking. Robyn stayed at our home for 4 nights and 5 days. She updated us daily with the best pictures and messages. She even watered our garden and took out/brought in the recycling and trash. The dogs ADORED her, and we did too. We are very careful about who we give full access to our home, and are beyond very protective of our fur babies. We came home to our home nicer than we left it to very happy, healthy dogs. I recommend Robyn with enthusiasm, and without reservation-just don't book the dates we need! Ha! ;)
Maddie was an amazing dog sitter and I could not have asked for anything more! My dog has severe separation anxiety and I was very uneasy about leaving her for an extended period of time, but from the impression I got from the meet and greet before hand I felt a little more comfortable, and after the first picture they sent me I could tell from the look on her face that Shiek was doing great! This gave me the peace of mind to let me enjoy my trip, and the updates and pictures they sent me through out would make my day. I would highly recommend Maddie to anyone looking for somebody to take care of or spend some time with their pets and I will definitely be reaching out to her again for any future Rover needs!
Last minute trip and Leslie was quick to reply, stop by for an introduction. During the stay received updates and photos. Babies were happy, played and even eat as if they knew her all along (not normal from my spoiled boys). Home was well cared for and even cleaned sheets and remade bed. Will rebook.
