1. Cortney T.


“Cortney was the definition of phenomenal while house sitting our Liza! She went above and beyond to ensure our pup was cared for and our home was safe during the winter freeze. 10 out of 10, absolutely recommend!”




2. Christine C.

“Our dog does not like people other than my wife really. But she took to Christine on day one and was climbing into her lap that night. It is such a relief to know someone who gets along with our dog is taking care of them. Would definitely hire again!”




3. Shawn G.

“Shawn did a great job taking care of our elderly dog. She made sure to update us with pictures and was friendly in all her correspondences. We felt very comfortable having her in our home to watch him after a brief meeting & introduction. Highly recommend!”


4. Ana P.

“Ana was absolutely fabulous. Just an absolute delight to work with. Incredibly responsible and caring to our two dogs. 5 stars across the board!!”


5. Tiffany L.

“Tiffany was fantastic! Our pug, Rita, was certainly loved on while we were away. She sent pics daily with an update. Our return flight was delayed and she was flexible and stayed longer than we had originally asked making a stressful travel day a lot easier. The house was super clean as well which was a bonus! We will definitely request Tiffany again!”


6. Jennifer P.


“Jennifer was spectacular. She was extremely attentive and loving with my 3 puppies over the 4 nights she stayed at my house. She kept me in close communication and was also very self-sufficient...sending me updates and photos a few times a day, and whenever I asked. She took them on walks and even gave them baths after getting muddy from playing outside in the rain. Not to be forgotten, but she was also super clean...my house was cleaner than when I left! I couldn't recommend her enough.”


7. Yuliia P.

“Yuliia is an excellent dog whisperer. We loved working with her. She took such good care of our dog Hank, providing wonderful walks and taking excellent care of our home while she stayed here. She supplied wonderful pictures and I wouldn't hesitate to call on her again. A truly lovely person!”


8. Alix S.

“Alix was a dream to work with. We have a skittish Mastiff that usually takes awhile to warm up to people. Alix was able to earn our pup's trust in no time, which was peace of mind. On top of this, she provided frequent updates while we were away. Would definitely recommend!”


9. Krystyna C.

“While we have used Rover a few times, this was our first time with Krystyna. We had an out of town event and needed someone to house sit our two fur kids for several days. We are “bad” parents and have not done a good job of acclimating our two kids to people, other than close friends. Also, this would be the longest they would not be with us or another family member. However, those challenges did not stop Krystyna from becoming their new friend. Krystyna kept us updated and responded quickly when we had questions about our kids. We would recommend and use Krystyna again!”


10. Matt D.

“Matt was everything you want when booking a new sitter. Our dog loved him, he was super responsive before and during, and had a real ease and kindness about him. We didn’t worry at all and as a pet owner you can understand how invaluable that is:) we loved Matt, will rebook him forever in the future and recommend you book him too!!”


11. Kimberly H.

“Kimberly really gave us peace of mind leaving Gil with a sitter overnight for the first time. He is an anxious and reactive dog but seemed to be at ease for the visit. Would definitely re-book with Kimberly!”




12. Elizabeth W.


“Lizzie did a great job taking care of my older dog! She responded when I reached out to her and kept me up to date when I was running out of treats. I would definitely book again ?”




13. Abigail W.

“Abby was fantastic. She stayed with Gracie from 5am to midnight as I was doing a day trip for work. She is very responsive and reliable. She even offered to meet me for a meet and greet!”


14. LaShanda H.

“Shanda is the best! Attention to detail, communication, cleanliness, all of it was great. She filled in on very late notice but came prepared and took care of everything. The boys loved her and she handled everything they threw at her. And she took great care of the house. We will definitely have her back next time we need a sitter.”


15. Jessica G.

“Jessica did an amazing job watching my dog, Bailey! She was incredibly communicative throughout the entire stay, sending regular updates and pictures that showed just how much fun Bailey was having. I felt completely at ease knowing Bailey was in such great hands. This was by far my best experience with Rover, and I highly recommend Jessica to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring sitter. I’ll definitely be booking with her again!”


16. Shane S.

“My cats were in the best moods they’ve ever been in when we have left and had a housesitter. In fact I believe one of our cats wishes that we were still away. Shane was an amazing house / pet sitter for our three cats. She also was super competent at taking care of the house. She even had to deal with an internet outage, which she helped to resolve and get back online. She left everything in the house neat and tidy, and I know that she even did some cleaning (which was not part of the expectations, this was above and beyond). Shane just “gets it” when it comes to competent and loving pet care and taking care of a house. She brought us great piece of mind while we were away, and she will be our “go to” housesitter.”


17. Jenna T.

“Jenna was such a gift to me during my week away! This was my first time having a sitter stay at my place with my senior dog, and Jenna made me feel so at ease with her wonderful communication. My dog can be a bit stubborn and standoffish with strangers, but Jenna warmed her up quickly, and I could tell from all the photos and videos that Meli got happier and happier every day. Coming home to a non-anxious and smiling dog is such a gift! And the sweet calming dog music in the living room playing on the TV shows just how thoughtful Jenna is. She also took perfect care of my home, including bringing in packages. I recommend Jenna without hesitation!”


18. Hagen B.
“Hagen was an incredible dog walker—always punctual, friendly, and caring with my pup. His reliability and kindness made each walk a great experience. Highly recommend!”


19. Jena G.


“This is the second time we have used Jena as a dogsitter for our Great Dane and she’s been great! Our dog seems happy and the house is clean when we get home. Thanks Jena!! :)”


20. Laura C.
“Great with pets of all kinds. Took excellent care of my two cats, followed all of the instructions, and left my place cleaner than she found it. Made sure that she spent extra time to play with them before feeding and sent me cute pics of the cats while I was on my trip. Could not recommend her enough, your pets will thank you!”
