“I wish there were more than 5 stars for the rating. Eleanor deserves a 10. This was the first time we left our dog with a sitter. She was so attentive and took such good care of our dog that there are not enough accolades to say how wonderful the experience was for all of us. She sent videos and pictures during the day and she updated us on their activities. She was amazing!”
“Jenna and Michael were wonderful. We are also sitters on Rover and probably have higher than average standards for our babygirl Sadie (~60 lb rescue). We first did a meet and greet and from the moment we meant them we knew they were good people. We had already meet four other sitters at this point and were starting to feel hopeless. Jenna and Michael were warm, and lovely from the start. Their home is spacious, their yard is BIG, and their own pup, Chase is adorable! Sadie got lots of exercise playing with Chase and going on walks. I was worried that Sadie would taunt their chickens the entire time (which she probably did) but they handled it with evident experience around this challenge. We would happily book with them again. Even though we had to drive 45 minutes to them, it was 100% worth it. Thank you, Jenna, Michael, and Chase.”
“What a fantastic pet sitter! She sent updates and pics during our time away assuring us that Yoshi was doing great. She even gave us a goody bag when we picked Yoshi up. We will definitely be using Alyssa again!”
“Keasha was a stellar pet sitter to Milo my Yorkshire Terrier she provided such TLC to him while I was away. She checked in with me daily on him eating, drinking and walking. Keasha gave me such peace of mind.”
“Daniel is very kind, caring and considerate. He took in our 16+ year old dog, who has a bit special personality, really working on getting her comfortable. We would highly recommend him and with ease leave our little dog with him many more times.”
“Bethany took wonderful care of our pup, Coda, while we attended a wedding. He came home happy and tired from a whole lot of ball playing--his favorite thing to do. I found Bethany to be caring, personable, responsible and warm, everything you want in a caregiver. I will definitely bring Coda again!”
“Zach took care of my dog for 3 days,2 nights.Zachary was awesome,we communicated through out the whole process,he sent lots of texts and many photos each day and night,my Kia girl looked so happy,especially playing with the other dogs.My dog is on a special diet,Zachary went out of his way to cook chicken and add pumpkin to Kia's food!!!

“Leanne and Micheal are excellent caregivers for my two pups. They walk them, play with them, and provide updates throughout the day! My two schnauzers were immediately comfortable and felt right at home. They definitely treat your pets like family. Thank you for taking such great care of my babies. I’m so glad we found you on Rover.”

“Matthew was absolutely wonderful with our dog, Teddie! From the start, he was incredibly kind and communicative, which helped us feel at ease. Teddie is an older pup who recently had back surgery, and Matthew was not only understanding of his needs but also made sure he was comfortable and well cared for throughout the stay. It was clear Teddie felt at home with him right away. We’re so grateful for the thoughtful care Matthew provided—thank you for taking such good care of our sweet boy!”
“First time leaving Gus for a long time. Courtney kept me at ease with her great communication and sharing photos! Her dog Lucy and Gus hit it off right away. I’ve already rebooked for another upcoming trip! Recommend 100/10”
“We’re so thankful for Nicole! She welcomed Smudge into her home at the last minute after our original sitter canceled just five days before our vacation. We were so stressed, but she immediately put our minds at ease. It was clear from the updates and photos that Smudge was having the best time—lots of love, attention, and playtime with her dogs. He truly felt like part of the family and came home happy and tired (in the best way!). We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and we know Smudge can’t wait to stay with them again. Thank you so much for everything!”
“I was really impressed with Misael. We left our dog, Cindel, with him for the first time we’ve been away from her for a decent length of time. He gave us updates just about daily, including pictures. He informed us of things he noticed about her mannerisms and all her little quirks, and how she was getting along with other dogs and the household. I would definitely recommend him.”
“Ashley was wonderful taking care of our little guy. We had regular updates throughout where he looked like he was having a great time, and when he had a little stomach issue Ashley quickly handled it and made him a basic diet to settle it back down. I would definitely work with Ashley again!”
“Rudy had a great time with Nick. Nick had great communication and sent wonderful pictures with updates while I was away. I would definitely suggest Nick as a sitter to anyone.”

Thomas was great! Took our dog with short notice, and everything worked out perfectly! Highly recommend Thomas!
Caera was amazing! From the start, I felt super comfortable leaving my pup with her. She kept me updated with messages and the cutest pictures, which made me feel so at ease. I could tell my dog was happy, loved, and totally spoiled while I was away! She was super sweet, followed all my instructions, and really went the extra mile. It honestly felt like my dog was on a mini vacation too. I’m so glad I found her and will definitely be booking again. Thank you so much, Caera, you’re the best!
Carly was just great with Harley! It was such a relief to know she was so well taken care of while we were away. I highly recommend Carly and will book her again! 🐶
