Monday took great care of our beagle, Luka! Sent updates and pics. Luka has separation anxiety so it’s important we find a Dogsitter who is patient and understanding. We highly recommend Monday!

Celeste was so kind, patient, and communicative! It was such a comfort knowing my little guy was safe while I was away and I didn’t have to worry. Despite being a shy pup, skeeter wanted to be near her and that doesn’t often happen with new people so a great sign. Thank you so much! We will definitely be repeat clients :)

We were on the East Coast and off the grid for much of the week, with home renovations going on at the same time—and one of our dogs is a husky who’d happily take off into the foothills if given the chance. Vince handled everything like a total pro. He’s exactly who you want if leaving your pups stresses you out like it does me. Whatever he’s charging, it’s worth it for the peace of mind.

Erika was an amazing pet sitter for our two pups. She sent daily updates with a ton of photos. She was really attentive to my pups and I could tell by her messages that she was really paying attention to their individual needs and she really learned their own distinct personalities fairly well. One of our pups is very wary of new people and even she loved Erika faster than anyone else she’s ever met. Our pups had epilepsy and she was very mindful to keep an eye on her and she was very communicative around things she noticed around her. Unfortunately, our pup did end up having a seizure while we were away but I am so glad we had someone like Erika who was able to stay calm and give her the meds she needed plus keep an eye out for any secondary seizures (which thankfully never happened). I would highly recommend Erika and we will be using her again. :)

Another exceptional experience with Sparkle caring for Carlos & Kihei. Carlos adores Sparkle. He gets plenty of exercise & so many loves. Even the elusive Kihei loves Sparkle. We get plenty of photos & updates. And the house is always absolutely tidy. It’s great to come home from a trip & not have to worry about cleaning up the house. Thank you Sparkle 💖

Elizabeth always does such a fantastic job caring for my kitties and I appreciated that she was flexible in connecting with another Rover sitter since my away time had to be accommodated by not just one, but two Rover sitters! I already have her booked for another sit later in the month. She is very attentive and communicative and I know my cats are receiving the best of care. She gives me great peace of mind when I leave town and does such a wonderful job.

Michael is so awesome!!!! My fiance and I booked a trip for a concert, and didn't realize our hotel did not allow pets unattended and had decibel alarms. He seriously saved the day. I booked VERY last minute (8 hrs prior to sitting, and brand new to rover). Michael responded extremely quick with very clear communication. Brownie points for the bathory shirt for sure. My pup is anxious and hasn't had to stay with a stranger like this and he seemed to do great w Michael. We got plenty of updates, and again super clear communication about our pup! He really did so amazing and we could tell our lil guy was happy after being in his care :) THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!!!!!

Susan is such an amazing pup sitter! I was able to be away from my pups for a full week and knew they were in good hands so I never had to worry. She is communicative and sends regular updates and pics, and is very interactive with my cuddly fur children :). The pups are so comfortable and happy with her!

Zoe was wonderful with the dogs ! She was organized, friendly with them (they thought their aunt was visiting)! And she was extra smart in the sudden heat and left ice cubes in their water bowls when she got in from their early morning or evening walks. Her organization, cleanliness, Dog sense, and thoughtful aware help were so appreciated. Highly recommended will definitely use her again if she is available. Great with our two middle anged annd older dogs.

TL;DR: Capable, punctual, reliable, communicative. Noah made me feel very at ease leaving my babies. My previous sitter retired and I had to do the challenging task of finding someone new. I have a small terrier who is easy. But, I have a 92lb mastiff puppy who’s afraid of everything and very strong. He made great efforts to get in her good graces. I was initially concerned how she’d react to a male but he was by far the quickest to earn her trust of all the interviewees. He stayed at my place for 4 days and 3 nights and when I returned, my babies seemed healthy and happy and no worse for the wear. Aside from taking great care of the pups, Noah was communicative, flexible, and pleasant to work with. He left our house it perfect condition. I highly recommend him with the exception that I don’t want to have to compete for his time!

This was my third time booking with Jordan C, and once again, he exceeded expectations. He is consistently professional, reliable, and incredibly attentive. Jordan C took amazing care of Kitty Kitty and kept me at ease by sending multiple updates with photos of their walks and downtime together at home. It’s clear that he genuinely cares about the pets he looks after, and that level of attention makes a huge difference. On top of that, he left my place just as clean and organized as I left it, which I really appreciate. I’m so grateful to have found Jordan C on Rover. If you’re reading this review and considering a sitter, look no further—Jordan C is absolutely amazing. Highly recommend!
