1. Cara D.
“Cara was such a great caretaker for our senior kitty! She provided a ton of detail with each check in, ensuring we knew how our cat was doing and that all was well. She sent lots of photos and was extra helpful in bringing in packages, etc. as we were out of town for a few days. We’d absolutely have Cara back and would recommend for anyone looking for super reliable, thorough care!”




2. Ron T.


“Ron took great care of our dogs over a five day period during a busy holiday season. His drop-in visits occurred in the schedule we had requested, and he managed the daily walks we had asked for in addition to the regular feeding, watering, and backyard visits. With all the real-time notices of his visits, and we were able to relax and enjoy our trip. Great experience!”


3. Sara C.

“Couldn’t have asked for a better first time experience with Sara! She made me feel so comfortable leaving my pup in her very experienced hands! You can tell just how much love she has for animals and their well being. 10/10 recommend!”


4. Callie F.

“Callie helped us out in a bind and was available/flexible for a last minute booking. She’s attentive and gave our dogs the love they’re used to receiving from us! She sent us great photos and appropriate updates - would highly recommend and we hope that she’ll care for our dogs again in the future!”


5. Marinda M.

“This was my first time to use Rover and I had such a great experience with Marinda! She watched my cat while I was away for a few days and she kept me updated with photos and videos on each visit. I recently changed my cats food and he has been iffy with it, but Marinda gave me peace of mind letting me know how he was eating with each drop-in visit. She kept the litter box clean, vacuumed up messy litter, and even washed a few dishes! I could tell my cat Buzz loved playing with her based on the videos she sent. She was always quick to respond and thorough in her updates. I will definitely use her services again and I highly recommend her for your pet!”


6. Ruslan A.


“Ruslan is a gem! He’s caring, communicative and sensitive to all your pets needs. He recently cares for my blind elderly dog and high strung other dog! He’s on time, loves them up and offers time for cuddles. I will indeed rehire!”


7. Taryn T.

“Taryn was fantastic! She showed up right on time, let our dogs out, and spent a full half-hour playing with them. Communication was quick and easy, and I really appreciated the picture updates—it gave me peace of mind knowing my pups were happy and well cared for. I would absolutely book her again!”


8. James & Jacob J.

“Great first experience with Rover thanks to James and Jacob! Great communication, drop-in visits for our two big dogs executed exactly as requested, pictures of the (perfectly happy) pets sent with each visit, and all this over a holiday! 100% plan to request these great guys again!!!”

10. Laura B.
“My dog can be a handful—he’s large, strong, and always ready to play—but Laura handled him like a pro. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands. Highly recommend to anyone with a big, active dog who needs both structure and love!”


11. Denise D.
“I can’t recommend Frances enough! She is a true animal lover! My dog adores her and she is very attentive to my dog and her needs. I know that she is well cared for and very happy when in her care. Frances is very trustworthy, reliable and always goes above and beyond. Highly recommend!”

17. Michaela M.

“First time using rover, Michaela was great and I felt like my kitties enjoyed their time while she visited them! Michaela really listened to what I usually do for the cats and learned their personalities. Plus she was very patient with me and when the schedule needed to change after booking, she ensured I got the proper refund without me even asking. 10/10 recommend”


18. Andra E.

“Andra communicated well and followed our requests to a T. She kept us updated and I appreciated the pictures. Pretty straightforward and uneventful, which is what you want with a petsitter! I will definitely try to book with her again for our next trip.”


19. Nancy S.
“Every parent, whether your babies are furry or not, needs someone like Nancy available to care for their kids when they can’t. She has been a great resource for me as I have become a new pet parent, helping in caring for, and training, my new puppy. I would absolutely recommend Nancy to anyone looking for someone to care for their fur-babies.”


20. Wendy S.

“Wendy was an excellent walker for us these last couple of days. Not only where her responses were timely, friendly and professional…she showed up each day on time, sent pictures of our pups daily and she left the house tidy and secure upon her exit. 10/10 would recommend!”
