“Nichole house sat and took great care of my pup, Evie! She sent multiple updates with lots of photos, which made me feel super at ease!! She was flexible when I asked her to come earlier than I had first booked her for (put my anxious travel mind at ease!!). Thank you Nichole!”


“Ellen was fantastic! She followed directions explicitly and even accommodated a later departure when we got delayed on our trip home. 10/10 recommend.”

“Elisa is amazing. She kept my hyper puppy occupied and tired out. She also left my home cleaner than it was when I left. She sent pictures and provided tons of updates. I highly recommend her.”


“Our small rescue dog has only been left alone for a couple of hours a day since she was saved from living in a field with a bad breeder. We were very anxious about leaving her for a week but Jason did an outstanding job of keeping her happy, well walked, and communicated with us twice a day or more to make sure we were comfortable with her status. We highly and unconditionally recommend Jason and look forward to using his services again.”


“Once again, Robin and Ahmed exceeded my expectations. My cats adore them which is evident from the many pictures they send me while I am away. They left the house in tip top condition — would hardly know they were there for a week. I highly, highly recommend them! Your babies will be safe and well cared for and your time away worry free.”


“We’ve used Rachel a few times for both dog walking and house sitting. Our two dogs absolutely love her! Rachel was great about sending us photos and updates on the dogs. It really made us feel that our dogs were in good hands and being well taken care of. Would definitely book Rachel again and highly recommend.”


“Mara was the first sitter I used through Rover, and I was admittedly a little nervous about the whole process, especially the idea of entrusting a stranger with my two most precious pups. But Mara was incredible and calmed any nerves I had going into it. She was willing to meet with me in advance which allowed me the chance to get to know her and introduce her to the boys. And she was patient and kind and gave off such a warm and genuine vibe that I knew right away that the boys were in good hands. Unfortunately while we were gone, through no fault of her own, one of my dogs had some digestive issues, and Mara went above and beyond to take care of him and make sure he was feeling ok. Mara was communicative and available, the boys loved her, and I just can't recommend her enough.”


“Kristin did a fabulous job caring for our cat Benny. She went above and beyond following the instructions we set for him by spending extra time with him and providing me with thorough updates and photos. He was in great hands with her. We will absolutely use her services again in the future!”


“This was our first few hours away from our new puppy and Ryan was great! Great communication and really seemed to love our furry family member.”


“Lisset was amazing with our pets! She treated them like royalty and kept us up to date on all their activities. She was super professional and easy to work with. I hope she'll be able to sit for us again in the future! Thank you so, SO much, Lisset!”


“Clair was great with my dog! Left her at home for almost a week and Clair came every day to walk and feed her. She even worked on some training with her, since my dog tends to jump a lot, and gave me advice for continuing to train and exercise her. Clair was also very responsive and flexible which was appreciated.”


“I appreciated that Victoria was able to sit with my dogs when another Rover cancelled at the last minute. She was prompt and took good care of my dogs.”


“Randy watched my pup at my place, and I highly recommend him! My dog is anxious and sometimes goes on hunger strikes while I’m away, and Randy was watchful of him to make sure he was eating. Randy was communicative with several rounds of photos throughout each day, and he was respectful of my home while staying with my pup. Great experience!”


“Natalie was excellent! She went above and beyond to make sure my dogs weren’t left alone too long when I had a wonky travel schedule, and she was great at communicating about everything my pups were up to. I definitely recommend her!”
