“Repeat customer here, Helene is reliable, great with our animals and a delight to work with. I know our pets are in good hands when she sits for us. Thank you, Helene!!”

“Meri was very professional and accommodating! My dog Rufus was super excited to spend time with her and Rufus was a happy little guy when I returned from vacation. We highly recommend Meri!”

“I simply cannot express the relief I had while traveling with Vanessa as my house/pet sitter. I have 2 cats and was babysitting my daughters cat, who arrived the day I left. Vanessa sent pics everyday of the cats snuggled with her or chilling in their fav spots! My trip was very unexpected, and it was my first time using Rover. I’ve always wary booked Vanessa again for a trip I had planned and was going to take my cat to my daughters, but it was so much more relaxing for them here in their home❤️”

“She was so nice and took great care of my dog. My dog sometimes is timid among strangers but Heidy made the experience much better and gave me peace of mind knowing he was in great hands. 🌸🌸 10/10 recommend.”

“Melissa was great with our dog! She was very responsive and reached out with photos and check-ins. She also left our home in great shape. We would love to have her watch Lolli again!”

“Karachi took fantastic care of our two dogs and cat over the weekend. She sent great updates while we away, and left the house totally spotless when we got back. Considering this was a bit of a last minute request, I'm really thankful that she was able to come out within a couple of days for a meet and greet and come the next weekend.”

“Tamara was so attentive to our pets and she sent us so many photos and check-ins!! We will definitely ask her to come back in the future. Thank you so much for taking such great care of them.”

“We were VERY pleased with Jony. It was a last minute booking for an unexpected trip. He came to meet our dog and go over house/animal instructions beforehand. When he stayed at our house he left it cleaner than when he arrived! He took excellent care of our 10 yr old rescue German Shepherd and our chinchilla. Communication was excellent. We will definitely book with him again.”

“Danny did a phenomenal job watching our two dogs, three cats and one bird over the holidays while we dealt with unexpected must do travel. When we needed to extend a few days, he graciously accommodated that as well.”

“We hit the jackpot with Vanessa!! She is such a compassionate , dependable and knowledgeable dog sitter. She gave us pictures and updates throughout the weekend. We highly recommend her.”

“Giovanna was great with my very anxious dog (and his anxious owner). My dog can be difficult and doesn't trust people he doesn't know. Giovanna followed all instructions with patience and care. She was communicative, respectful, and responsible. I came home to a clean house and a happy dog, which is all one could ask for!”

“Nicholas was so easy to work with. He took excellent care of our dog and our home, for multiple days and nights. We will definitely be asking for his services again!”

About: Being a pet sitter has been my side-job since the first year of my career. Use to be a consultant who travels a lot during week days and prevent me to have a pet. I usually sit dogs and cats during weekend so I can enjoy some time with fluffy friends. It is definitely rewarding moments. Now I moved to DC area for my new job, without traveling, I have more time to play with our fluffy friends! I am currently a full-time data scientist, but have plenty of time after work and weekends. Love to play with dogs and cats while you are too busy for your work. Had couple years experience of a very demanding job, totally understand the frustration when meetings and incoming emails never end and your fluffy friends need break and play time. I have a small yard to keep your fluffy baby happy! There is a dog park nearby, and they will stay in my huge living room when they want to rest.
“Erica stayed at our house and took care of our 99lb German Shepherd. She was very communicative and attentive. We have worked with her more than once and will look for her again in the future!”

South Kensington pet parents share their Rover experiences
We are so glad that Sophia was able to dogsit our beloved doggo. She stayed with them for two weeks at our home and sent us pics of both doggies almost every day. When our senior dog needed medical attention, she informed us promprtly and made a vet appointment as well. She was personable responsible, responsive and left the house in excellent condition. I would highly recommend Sophia to anyone who is looking for expert dogsitting, she is truly excellent in every way possible!

Shakuntala took care of my elderly dog and 2 cats (one with a serious chronic illness) while I was away for the week and spoiled all 3 in the best way! They were all showered with love and attention and were cared for exactly per my instruction. She administered meds to my cat and dog with no issues. They all warmed to her immediately, including my one cat that hides from most people. She sent me updated throughout the day so I always knew that they were happy and getting everything they needed. She stayed in my home to care for them and left the house immaculate. I think they are missing her already! I will definitely rebook - she is the best pet sitter I’ve had by far
