This was our first time using Rover (or anyone but family to watch our dog) and it was for a last minute vacation. May fit in a meet and greet days before we were leaving and Boots took to her right away. While we were gone May kept us updated both via text and with adorable photos/videos of our pup, which put us at ease. She also took great care of our house.

Robbie was great. She came by prior to our planned sitting to meet Cosmo. She was very sweet with him and provided updates during our outing. Would definitely have her watch our little guy again.

Paul has been super professional every step of the way. He was prompt in setting up a meet and greet, on time, and communicated well. He also caught my mistake when I initially booked for the wrong days. We received some updates while we were gone, which was appreciated, but most importantly, our girl was clearly well taken care of. She's old and thrives on routine, and she looked like she barely noticed we were gone when we returned. It's really nice to know that she was in great hands. Bonus: I think our apartment was actually cleaner when we returned. 5+ stars.

Sam was AWESOME with our dog! Trufa needs a lot of exercise and Sam went above and beyond, taking her on all kinds of fun adventures and sending us tons of daily updates. Trufa got an upset stomach at the end (not Sam’s fault) and Sam was super communicative and helpful as I made my way home. Hugely recommend Sam for any pet sitting needs!

Skylar was fantastic with our dog! She was so communicative and sent us so many cute videos while we were gone. I never felt worried about Greta at all! I hope Skylar can watch her again in the future.

My goodness Alli is seriously THE BEST sitter I've ever had on this platform!! Her communication style is unmatched and exactly what I'm looking for when it comes to providing updates on my little one while I'm away. She provided detailed check-ins at/around the same time each day, which gives me so much peace of mind (I can still enjoy my time away while also knowing I'll receive a check-in at specific times that day). She followed all care instructions to the letter, kept my home spotless, and overall had an awesome time with Atlas. Without a doubt I will be booking her services again in the future! Thank you Alli!!

Gabby was a great sitter for Dunbar and Brownie! This is the first time we had a sitter stay in our home and she made it so easy for us and our pups. She is a great communicator and left the house spotless. We will definitely work with Gabby for future needs!

Shane watched our elderly English Bulldog for two weeks and was great. He was very responsive and made sure our dog had everything she needed. I would highly recommend Shane if you’re looking for someone to watch you dog.

Rojan was AMAZING ! 10/10. She agreed to a "meet and greet" weeks in advance to get to know Simba, asked all the right questions to care for him and was super responsive throughout the sitting. She gave regular updates, reported on day-to-day activities and made sure the house was tidy before leaving. Simba was visibly super happy when I came back. Thank you so much Rojan !!

Emma has a very sweet cat named Remy who I have spent a good amount of time with, either as a cat sitter when Emma is away, or just hanging out at her apartment. Emma includes Remy all of her decisions regarding her housing, travel, and just general life; she wants him to feel stimulated, loved, comfortable, and secure no matter what. She is careful about who she chooses to look after him when she is away, and always leaves detailed instructions to make sure he feels as comfortable as possible. She has abundant toys for him, feeds him a nutritious diet, always makes sure he has clean water every day, and showers him with love and affection. Emma has grown up around animals; from cats and dogs to bunnies, guinea pigs, ducks, and horses. Her family is very animal-loving, with both of her parents and her oldest sister as veteranarians. I have no doubt that anyone who chooses Emma to look after their fur babies would be making the best possible choice.

Danielle is amazing! She stayed at our place and took care of our pup for 5 nights. She sent detailed updates and lots of photos and videos at least 2x a day. Our dog has a lot of anxiety and takes some time to warm up to new people. After a couple days he was so happy to see her. Would recommend and book again!

Ira has taken care of my dog on a few occasions and was the best! She's kind, thoughtful, and responsible and sent me tons of pictures and videos to let me know that she's well cared for. When she takes my dog on walks they always have so much fun and she is always on time. My dog gets so excited when she sees her and loves her time with Ira!

Haley was fantastic! We’ll definitely be using her again. Haley was very communicative before and during her stay. She sent lots of pictures which we loved, and took our dog on all her favorite walks while we were gone which we appreciated. She was also super accommodating when we had a travel cancellation on the way back and stayed an extra night for us. Haley was wonderful and our dog clearly had a great time!

About: Lived with dogs my whole life, pet sit dogs for family and friends. Have a deep connection with animals and believe they deserve the best care, especially when missing their parents. I currently am studying for an exam, so am mostly free for either pet sitting or dog walks! Weekends work with advance notice, including at home overnight pet sitting I won’t be able to host dogs at my house. At your home, they will get walks every 2-3 hours (not including regular pee breaks, portioned meals, adequate play and cuddle time, as well as training (fun tricks!)

Alex is my daughter so I know her pretty well! She is very responsible, nurturing, conscientious and loves animals! She is very organized and loves taking care of animals, especially dogs! We have a dog and Alex is responsible for feeding him and walking him. She does a great job and I highly recommend her for the job with Rover.

About: I have cared for many dogs of different ages since I was a child. I am aware of different training methods and respect owner preferences! I have a remote job with a very flexible schedule during the work week. I am happy to help any time of day and on weekends. I regularly care for a 75lb German Shepard that I walk on a leash and bring to fenced in dog parks around Boston. She can be very strong and I am very aware that dogs of all ages can suddenly lunge at squirrels, etc.
