1. Jocelyn D.

“Jocelyn was exceptional. She made our vacation even better knowing that our animals were happy. And our arrival back home confirmed that. She was a great communicator as well.”


2. Ace G.
“Ace is great! They showed up on time. Provided pics all night. our puppy was very well cared for. Will definitely use Ace again. Thank you Ace!”


3. Jayda "Adara" W.

“Adara did a fabulous job caring for our fur baby, Toby, in our home when we went away for the weekend! Toby is a bit (ok, VERY) quirky, and he doesn't do well with changes to his routine. Adara went above and beyond when caring for him. We felt very comfortable with her in our home, as well. Toby gives Adara a 10/10 for pet sitting, and so do we!”


4. Ash T.

“Ash house sat our goofy pack of 3 dogs and 3 cats for 4 nights/ 5 days and did a great job, especially as it was our first time away from our younger 2 pups, one of which was a little anxious with separation the first 24hrs. Our pack was fed and got lots of cuddles and playtime and our elderly dog got her meds and care. We received much appreciated updates and photos daily while we were gone and would highly recommend having Ash watch your 4 legged companions.”


5. Erin O.

“Erin was the perfect dog (and house) sitter. We came home to a relaxed and happy senior dog and the house just as we had left it. Erin went above and beyond by bringing in mail and trash can, watering plants and even reached out to see when Riley could go on the lawn after it was fertilized. Erin is professional and responsive. We will definitely be booking with Erin again!”


6. Kaitlynn S.

“Kaitlynn was amazing! My dogs have special needs and their care instructions are very specific. She kept their routine and did perfect! She gave my dogs much love and attention. She is the only sitter I would trust with my dogs. After I got back home, I asked one of my dogs (she uses button communication) if Kaitlynn was nice and she said yes! 🐾”


7. Brendon P.

“Brendon did a great job staying at our house and looking after our two older and sensitive greyhounds. He was very prompt, asked questions when needed, and sent us pictures, which we always enjoy and appreciate receiving. Really appreciate his work and our dogs and house were very well looked after! I think they were looking for him this morning, wondering if their new friend was going to come over again!”


8. Julissa A.

“Julissa watched our three dogs today and did a fantastic job! All three of our dogs have severe anxiety and separation issues, but as soon as we left the house we received pictures and all three had settled right down and were very comfortable with Julissa. These three are very hard to handle at times and require someone with just the right personality and patience to handle them. We will definitely be contacting her next time we need a sitter.”




9. Matt L.

“Matt and Ziggy had a great time together while I was out of town for the weekend. Matt was also a great housesitter; he left my place spotless.”




10. Molly E.

“It was so nice to know that Rosie and our home were in capable and caring hands while we were away on vacation. Rosie, our home, and our gardens were in great shape when we returned. We'll definitely be looking to Molly again next time we need a dogsitter!”


11. Hallie C.

“Hallie was with our one year old Westie, Archie, for three weeks!! She communicated with us often and sent pictures. As we were in Italy and left Archie for the first time, we were pleased with the attention she gave him including some basic training. We hope to invite her again to stay with our pup.”


12. Kylie B.

“As always, Kylie is the cat whisperer and the absolute best ever!! She is so communicative, kind and thoughtful. When we thought we’d possibly have to change our flights to a day later on the return, Kylie was so flexible and offered to keep checking in on our car. Thank you again, Kylie!”


13. Amanda K.

“Amanda was amazing! She did a drop in for us and then also stayed over to watch our large anxious dog. She was super attentive, communicative and patient with Timber. The house was perfect and I love my daily updates, pictures and videos. Will definitely be using her again!”


14. Isabel R.

“I am a happy repeat customer. My dogs and cats are too! Isabel is caring, considerate, and a friend to my pets when I need someone to assist with their care. I couldn’t be happier with her ability to step in quickly and with confidence.”


15. Gav D.
“Gav is a wonderful pet sitter. My cat Goggles needs special care due to digestive problems and Gav did a great job following instructions on how and when to feed her and administer her meds. Gav sent me photos of Goggles and updated me on how she was doing while I was away. Thanks Gav- you’re the best! - From Ren & Goggles”


16. Iví E.

“Iví is an excellent sitter. My dog was very comfortable with her and loved going on walks. She communicates clearly and it was easy to work with her. I look forward to hiring her again.”


17. Robb C.

“Robb watched our two pups while we were away for a few days. They tend to be very timid with new people and it can be frustrating trying to get them to relax/listen to someone other than myself or my fiance. With that said, Robb was very patient with the both of them and really took his time to slowly gain their trust. By the end of the stay, they both were very comfortable. Robb was responsive and responsible. He listened to our concerns and was able to ease our anxieties being away. Overall we are very happy and will definitely use his services again!”


18. Elissa D.

“We could not be happier with the care Elissa gave to our 3 fur babies!! We can home to very happy pups and our home looked great! She kept us up to date and sent pictures and even a video. It’s such a great feeling to know they are so well cared for while we are away!! We so appreciate you and hope you’ll come back again! 🐾”


19. Sydney V.

“Sydney was great!! Very communicative, friendly, and responsive. She gave plenty of updates and lots of love to my little one. Would definitely recommend her! She also left my space nice and clean upon leaving which is very much appreciated and in my opinion going the extra mile.”


20. Cynthia A.


“We are new toRover and have never let anyone but family watch our fur baby. So we relied heavily on Rover reviews. It’s clear now we will cherish Rover and it’s sitters, as we travel about the world. Cindy was fabulous. At our initial meet and greet we chatted and filled her in on Frey's medical needs. Cindy has a wealth of experience with animals and special needs. Freya joined the conversation and immediately gave Cindy “a Cavi hug”. After watching the interaction we knew we found Frey’s sitter. Our first trip away, 13 days was the best experience we could have asked for. Cindy and Freya had great fun; lots of play time in and outside as well as a play date with another client of Cindy’s. Many thanks to Cindy, and Rover for creating a platform of safe, secure, professional, sitters that brings us together! ?”
