1. Dianne G.
“Dianne is FABULOUS! She stayed at my home with my two dogs for a long weekend at short notice with no qualms. Contact while I was away was excellent and the care they received was truly unconditional loving care. I’m so excited to have found Dianne and I look forward to using her in the future.”
2. Meredith C.
“We came back to a clean house and happy dogs, which is difficult because Coco is never happy with anyone. :) Coco must have had an especially good time, because she was in a very good mood. And my old lady, Maya, looked well cared for and clean, which is tough given her incontinence problems. The house looked well cared for as well. Meredith herself was extremely professional and responsive! I can’t recommend her enough!”
3. Tiffany T.
“Tiffany is incredible! She watched our house, and cared for our two rescue dogs, Jim & Ruby, for five nights. She is so professional and proactive. Her communication is top-notch from the initial inquiry, our meet and greet, right on up to our return home. We absolutely loved waking up each day of our trip to a new message about what her and the dogs were up to - with some cute accompanying pictures, of course! We will undoubtedly be using Tiffany's services in the future and recommend you do the same.”
4. Juliana M.
“Julie did a great job with the boys. She cleaned up after her self and took time to brush the dogs. Three Newfoundlands can be challenging she did great.”
5. Meaghan W.
“Meaghan did an overnight pet-sitting for us. We could not have been more pleased! She was great with our mini-poodle and very responsive. Would highly recommend!”
6. Polly S.
“Polly watched our pup, Mister Chicken Man while staying at our home. The moment we met Polly, we felt her genuine kindness and warmth, and so did our dog. She is the first person we have trusted with our dog, besides family and close friends. She sent so many updates and photos throughout her time with Chicken, we never had a worry in our minds. Polly took him for long walks and adventures every day and got plenty of exercise. He was pooped when we got back home! She will definitely be our go-to sitter for any future times we’re out of town. We would recommend Polly to anyone. You’ll definitely be trusting a reliable sitter and maybe make a friend in the process.”
7. Abby G.
“Abby stayed over at our house while we were away and was so flexible and communicative and took perfect care of our two Goldens! She made sure they got plenty of play each day and were so loved while we were away! Thank you Abby!!”
8. Daniela C.
“Daniela was an amazing sitter for Frankie while we were away. She gave her lots of attention and sent us plenty of updates to let us know how they were doing. Will be working with her again in the future!”
9. Tia B.
“In my experience Tia has been an incredible pet caregiver. In the past she has often taken care of my dogs, cat, and bunny. Tia is an animal lover through and through who will undoubtedly take exceptional care of your furry friend. She is gentle, caring, and loving with animals while also being extremely reliable, responsible, responsive and communicative as a caregiver. She is a cat owner herself and also fosters dogs and cats regularly. She is extremely experienced in pet sitting and dog walking and I trust her completely to take care of my animals. I highly recommend Tia for all of your animal needs. They will undoubtedly be in excellent hands with her!”
10. Danielle C.
“Amazing, as always! Danielle does a great job with our two cats and they’re always happy when we get home. Highly recommend and we will definitely be reaching out to Danielle again in the future.”
11. Sophie C.
“I can’t say enough good stuff about Sophie! She took care of our two cats while we were out of town for our wedding. It was our first time leaving one of the cats home alone, so we were a little nervous. Sophie kept us updated and gave us much needed peace of mind. Our two cats are still getting to know each other so have to be kept separate, and one of them has a minor health condition that we needed to keep an eye on. Despite these challenging circumstances (and an unexpected power outage), Sophie took incredible care of our girls. She was patient, thoughtful and communicative, which we so appreciated during our busy wedding weekend. We came home to a clean home and happy cats. We couldn’t be more grateful to have found Sophie and would absolutely hire her again in a heartbeat.”
12. Nicola P.
“Nicola was responsive, communicative, flexible, and detail oriented about my dog’s evolving health needs. I appreciated that she didn’t make me feel like I was being ridiculous with the complicated food and supplement situation (in the middle of a food transition that depended on the status of my dog’s GI issues).”
13. Elijah F.
“Elijah did a fantastic job! He stayed at our apt watching our dog for a week. He was communicative and took great care of our dog and our apt. When the little rascal managed to rip her way out of her crate while he was out, he immediately got in touch and coordinated with us to go to Petco and get a new crate for her. Will definitely be using Elijah again.”
14. Stephanie M.
“Stephanie just sat for our two cats as, we had to travel out of town. She kept in contact with us and we came back to very content cats. It was like we were not even away from them. This is the first time using Rover and using Stephanie as a sitter. We will definitely use her services again if we need them. I felt very comfortable with her staying in our home. We came back and the house looked as the same as we left it. I knew from the minute we met Stephanie that, I would not have to worry about the cats while we were away. Thank you Stephanie!!!”
15. Mickey D.
“Mickey was the best sitter we could have asked for! Leaving our pets and home in the hands of a stranger is always scary but for our week of house sitting Mickey made sure he always kept in contact and he followed all of our pet and house rules to a T. He was always on time for walks and promptly sent photos afterwards, gave our cat plenty of attention, and made sure our dog, who sometimes has trouble finishing her meals, was eating and always updated us on her eating habits! We were relieved to come home from a tiring trip to an impeccably clean house and happy animals. Mickey is extremely trustworthy and reliable, I can’t recommend him enough.”
16. Leslie & Geoff C.
“We are incredibly cautious and careful about who we trust with our naughty little chihuahua. Leslie and Geoff were nothing short of outstanding! They sent frequent updates and followed our requests perfectly! When we came home from our trip, our dog was looking for Geoff- his new best friend, apparently! We were able to enjoy our trip knowing our dog was being so well cared for. That kind of peace of mind is priceless and we cannot thank Leslie and Geoff enough!”
17. Gia P.
“Gia is so great! Mabel seemed to warm to her almost instantly. She was very communicative and positive and accommodating. Very highly recommended!”
18. Michelle H.
“Hi Michelle is terrific with pets. She herself has owned and cared for multiple pets successfully over the years. She also has great experience working in a doggie daycare. Michelle is very patient and kind and has an excellent attitude toward animals. I would highly recommend Michelle to be your pet sitter/handler/walker.”
19. Rose S.
“Rose assisted me in taking care of my elder cat, Gracie. Gracie is very temperamental and openly hostile to unfamiliar faces, but Rose was careful and cautious with her, making sure not to approach too close while feeding her. Not only that, she was good at cleaning, clearing out the litter box. I would absolutely recommend her to other cat owners for cat sitting.”
20. Marissa R.
“I highly recommend Marissa for any of your pet sitting/walking needs. She was our lifesaver as she was able to watch our 2 dogs at the last minute due to another Rover dogsitter who we met with in December but never followed up the week before the scheduled pet sitting. Marissa was able to accommodate our request for the dogsitting in our home for the week with little notice, came by for the meet and greet and stayed in contact with us before and during our trip. Marissa asked great questions during the meet and greet, is extremely professional, reliable, caring and trustworthy. She communicated with us, bonded with the pups and sent pictures each day. She gave us peace of mind to know our dogs were in good hands so we could relax and enjoy our vacation. We will continue to have her take care of the pups in our home for any future vacations (and will work the days around her availability ... that's how pleased we are with her care.) Thanks for loving our dogs like they were your own!! :)”
