Robert was a great sitter, to the point where I immediately booked him for another day when I need to be out of town. He doted on my dog, played with her, and made sure to keep me updated day-to-day. I felt very confident leaving Gemma with him.

Karina was amazing with our pup! She sent frequent updates and pics and even bought her little treats. She was incredibly flexible with our dates and times, and went above and beyond any sitter we’ve ever had- both for our dog and kids. And super affordable. Highly recommended!!!

Seanna was my first rover sitter experience for my dog reactive dog, and it went so so well! She’s great with communication and updates, and she is very thorough. I can tell from the photos that Frank had a great time with her, and I am so grateful for her willingness to work with my dog and understand his quirks. We will definitely be booking with Seanna again, and I would recommend her to anyone.

Louisa and her daughter Samantha are wonderful. I had to book them last minute, they were flexible, on time, and respectfully did what I asked them to do! They are very patient with my 7 yr old lab and my 9 week old lab puppy (we all know how naughty and energetic they can be). I received several updates during their overnight stay, and both of my girls were very content when I got home from work. Definitely would recommend them!

She not only took great care of him but also spoiled him with love and attention. We definitely recommend her and will trust her again in the future.

Dustin was an old acquaintance of mine so I already knew that he’s a kind and wonderful person. I did NOT know that he’s also a puppy whisperer (though not surprised!). Dustin took care of our energetic 4 month-old great pyr/retriever puppy while we were away for a week. He kept her company within his flexible work schedule. She was happy and engaged, safe and healthy. He also kept her space tidy, vacuumed before we got back, and did our mail and trash. He communicated daily over text with pics and updates on how she was doing, which helped us to miss her a little less. :) Dustin is 100% reliable and a stand-up guy. Highly recommend!

Katie is amazing!! We have 2 very energetic dogs and she made sure to take them on a good walk and play in the backyard multiple times to get their energy out! Our one dog even had some tummy issues and she made him chicken and rice 🥹 we trust Katie with our pups and will definitely utilize her again!

Jordyn is so sweet with our dog Tina! We feel lucky to have found her. She’s super patient with our shy pup and always takes great care of the house while we are gone - going the extra mile like putting away dishes or shoveling the driveway, which I never expect. She’s trustworthy, communicative, and friendly. You should book her!

About: I have taken care of dogs, cats, chinchillas, and more since I was 8 years old (including my childhood dog that’s 16 and still kicking!!) I’ve wrapped up my full time job and waiting for grad school to begin in August. Plenty of availability during the weekdays and nights - just ask! I have doors on all the rooms so that pets can roam safely inside my home. Floors are easily cleanable and there is an outdoor space and many parks nearby.

About: I have a very high level of knowledge and skills of how to take care of cats of any age and ability and enjoy spending time with all kinds of cats. I have much less experience with and knowledge of dogs but I'm very familiar with the basics of feeding and walking. Friends have described me as a cat whisperer and I like to think of myself as such. Not that I might not have challenges, but I know how to meet and vibe and care for them. I have completely open availability for the next month or so as I am unemployed living with friends and trying to establish myself here. I typically like doing care between the late morning and early evening, but anything can be talked about and arranged. I enjoy spending the day alongside animals, being attentive to their needs by taking them out for long walks, providing healthy snacks and cuddles through the day, and offering a calm energy to relax energetic or otherwise anxious pets. I am confident in caring for pets across a range of personalities, and am happy both giving pets lots of attention and energy and coexisting with more introverted pets.

Seanna did a fantastic job caring for my German Shepherd dog and Balinese mix cat while I was away on a short notice business trip. Both pets clearly remembered and loved Seanna from their last time with her, and I returned to them happy and healthy. Seanna also provides regular updates throughout with top tier action shot photography. Can’t recommend her services enough!

Cooper was a very happy and content when we returned from our trip. Abby was wonderful with him. It is very easy to know when you return home to a happy dog. She even stripped the sheets on the bed, washed the sheets and towels and remade the bed. She did not have to do that but it was definitely appreciated. I would definitely recommend her and use her again.

Autumn was great with communicating, asking questions and following care instructions during an overnight/ 2-day stay. Our cattle dog can be a bit anxious in general, but she was relaxed and happy when we came home. Our house was clean and tidy upon our return too. Thank you Autumn for being someone we can trust to stay with Paisley!

Jeanette was wonderful with our dogs. She came by for a meet-and-greet before our week long trip so they could get comfortable with her ahead of time, which we really appreciated. She was a great communicator throughout the stay, sending regular updates and photos that gave us real peace of mind while we were traveling. There was also a thunderstorm while we were away, and Jeanette was especially patient with our anxious dog, making sure she felt safe and comfortable. We returned home to a tidy house and very happy dogs. We would book Jeanette again and recommend her to anyone looking for a thoughtful, reliable sitter.

Alaina has dog sat for us many times, and our two Labrador puppies are always so excited to see her! They are completely comfortable around her—so much so that they happily curl up and fall asleep right beside her. She is also incredibly flexible and kindly agreed to come 30 minutes early when our plans changed, which we really appreciated. We always feel at ease knowing our pups are in such caring and fun hands!

Scott really helped us out with a week of drop-in visits for our two dogs, one of which is rather unpleasant with strangers. He also agreed to oversee our coop of chickens which was very helpful. Scott was accomodating and generally a good communicator, and the pups seemed to like him. I think he did a fine job. We would definitely work with Scott again.
