1. Violet W.

“Violet is a fantastic sitter! I have been wanting someone to stay at my home so that my dog and cat aren't separated when I go out of town. I came home to happy pets and a clean house. I almost don't want to leave this review because I want to keep her schedule free for my trips!! Thanks Violet.”


2. Kyle J.

“Kyle took great care of my pup over the weekend. He made sure my dog’s normal routine was followed and spent lots of time giving him attention. Would recommend and will be booking again in the future.”


3. Oli L.

“This was my first time having someone stay at my house with my pup instead of bringing her somewhere. I completely trust Oli with her, it went well! I look forward to Oli helping my pup again for a wedding in September :)”


4. Danielle K.

“Danielle was amazing. She sent a ton of photos and kept me updated throughout the stay. My dogs loved snuggling with her and were so happy and well cared for. Will definitely use her again!”


5. Victor S.

“Victor did great sitting for Ellie, kept her company all day, listened to her needs, gave her food and her medicine. Would absolutely book him again in the future!”


6. Shaine S.

“So sweet! We were very lucky to have them try their hardest with Kisses, even if Kisses was not happy to have anyone in her space! I really appreciated that they keep me updated and stayed in contact. They were very easy to talk to and left my house clean.”


7. Amanda M.


“Amanda was fantastic. I feel secure in leaving her with my dogs. She followed their schedule and gave them a lot of love and attention. My home was just as I left it when I returned. She is intelligent, personable, and dependable. I plan to use her for my trip in September. I can now go on my cruise knowing everything will be okay at home. I highly recommend her.”


8. Kathryn R.

“Kathryn took great care of our boy, Punch! She came to meet us on short notice and right away we knew our fur baby would be in good hands with her. She arrived to the sitting on time, sent us lots of updates and pictures, and followed all instructions. We will definitely be booking Kathryn again for future sittings!”


9. Alexander S.

“Alex was great with the dogs and was responsive to our messages. Was very impressed that he came over for a meet and greet and was taking notes and asking questions. Left the home so clean we couldn't even tell someone had been there. Highly recommend”


10. Averi Z.

“Averi was great with my fur-babies. I have two senior goldens and a cat who is very cautious. I am always nervous about leaving them with a new person, but she was wonderful. She communicated well before and throughout the stay. I came back from a week, with happy healthy animals, and a tidy home. I would definitely recommend her.”




11. Melanie C.

“I can’t say enough great things about Melanie! She took such amazing care of my Frenchie while I was away. From the moment we met, I could tell she genuinely loves dogs and knew exactly how to handle my pup’s quirky personality and needs. I received regular updates, photos, and videos, which totally put my mind at ease. My Frenchie came back happy, relaxed, and maybe even a little spoiled—in the best way! I’m so grateful for the love and attention they gave. I’ll absolutely be booking with them again!”


12. Katherine I.

“Katherine was a wonderful house guest and she took great care of my dog! She checked in twice a day and sent me pics of what my dog was up to. I will definitely be booking with her again.”


13. Seline P.
“Seline is a responsible pet owner. She's owned cats for a few years now (at least since 2020) and regularly takes them to the vet, does routine vaccines, and recently had one spayed. She makes sure her cats are always fed, hydrated, and have plenty of enrichment like toys, cat towers, and treats. I trust Seline to take care of my own two cats, which she has done a few times in the past. She understands instructions well, especially since my two cats have separate diets and must be fed separately.”


14. Giselle C.


“Giselle is a wonderful cat sitter and house sitter. My kitties absolutely love her and she takes really good care of them while we're away. We get great updates and she leaves the house spotless.”


15. Lynne F.

“For the first time in 3 years we were able to take a trip without being stressed the entire time thinking about how our dogs were doing. Lynne sent updates and photos daily. Our dogs loved her. She followed all of our instructions and schedule.”


16. Emma R.

“Emma did a fantastic job taking care of our dog for the extended duration of our trip. Frequent communication and pictures helped us relax knowing Gus was in good hands. We came home and the house was spotless, which was a relief after a 22 hour travel day. Thanks a bunch Emma!”


17. Kathleen M.

“After a few negative experiences with other sitters on Rover were so relieved to have found Kathleen. She was amazing with our pup, a great communicator and we returned home to a clean house and happy dog. We’ll certainly request to use her again!”


18. Aidan S.

“Aidan was great! I left my anxious hound dog, Dean, in his care over a long weekend. He was very responsive, and proactive about sending updates with adorable pictures. Dean does not warm up to everyone, but was so sad when Aidan left and was stuck with me again. I'll be using him again in the future.”


19. Marie W.

“Marie cared for our dog over the weekend, during a rare snowstorm! The fact that she was able to get our dog out in the less than ideal weather and adjust her own schedule as our travel plans were disrupted was a massive help. Marie went above and beyond for us and our pup!”


20. Lucid P.
“Lucy has cared for my dog on multiple occasions and my dog has loved it. Lucy is conscientious of my dog's particular needs around exercise, affection, and diet. It is obvious that they love dogs and take the time to tailor their care to each individual dog's requirements. As a result, dogs love Lucy and thrive in their care.”
