“Rachael was amazing with my fur babies. It is so hard to find someone to trust but Rachael really made me feel at ease while on my trip, and my dogs made a new bff. We will definitely be booking with her again <3”
“Brooke was amazing! She stayed at our house for 9 days watching our dog, our chickens, and a newly acquired gecko. She is an excellent communicator, keeping us informed every day with pictures and quick updates. She was an amazing houseguest, and left the house cleaner than when she got here. Our pets loved having her here and so did we. We will definitely book Brooke again.”
“This was my first time booking with Melinda and she exceeded all our needs, especially when my dog had a bad day health wise. I took the longest vacation in my adult life and overseas as well, she gave me peace of mind I needed to enjoy my trip. 1000% would rebook and recommend her wholeheartedly.”
“Kristen is an incredible sitter for our pups! We always feel at ease knowing the pups and house are well taken care of and loved. We will absolutely be booking with Kristen again!”
“Esther was a godsend. We left our Yorkie for 8 days to travel across country and she housesat and cared for Dillon. I left extensive instructions for feeding, walks and medication and she not only followed them to a tee but also sent messages and video of each interaction. I mentioned he had started the bad habit of wanting to be hand fed, unfortunately, and she did so without question. I think she eventually broke him off it as we haven't had to do it since returning. She left the house in perfect shape. She is positive, communicative and responsible. I would highly recommend her to any pet parent.”
“Asal truly is the best of the best :) If you need a sitter for your fluffy friend, look no further. She took wonderful care of my kitty Pax, who typically gets very anxious when her humans are gone, while I was away on travel. Pax was clearly so happy and calm in all of the pics/videos Asal sent! I felt completely at ease the whole time I was gone knowing she was in great hands. It was clear from the moment I met Asal at the meet&greet that she is extremely considerate and in tune with the animals she cares for — she even brought over a toy that simulates a bug flying around after learning that Pax loves to chase flies! Asal was also my first ever house sitter and (no surprise) went above and beyond, leaving the place spotless and in order which was so lovely to come home to! Thank you so much again Asal! ?”
“This is our second time with Sierra and once again she was amazing! She came and dogsit and it felt so good not to worry about my fur babies. She kept me updated on everything and sent pics. The pups were also so happy when we got home I know they had a great time!”
“Rosemary did a fantastic job with our dog while we were at our son's college graduation. She also helped with watering plants and getting the mail. She spoiled our dog with attention. Will book her again.”
“Allison did a great job taking care of our cat, Hiccup over several days and nights! Allison was responsive, responsible and provided great updates throughout our trip! Our house looked great upon our return and we look forward to having Allison look after Hiccup in the future!”
“Jenna was responsive, sweet and took great care of our 6 year old golden foodie and our new 4 month old chocolate laborer!! They loved her and when we got hone, they were both happy, tired and relaxed! I highly recommend Jenna!”
“Vinnie is the best! He communicates quickly and clearly, but beyond that he helps our anxious dog relax while he's caring for her. We so value his help and recommend him to anyone.”
“As always, Sanya was trustworthy, professional and very conscientious about our cat's care whille we were away recently. Our cat is always in grea hands with Sanya! -- Tricia”
“Allegra constantly exceeds expectations and alleviates any anxieties I have about leaving my dogs for several days at a time. She is responsive and great with the dogs and house. I'll never book another dog sitter if Allegra is available!”
“Almendra was wonderful. Bernese Mountain dog- Wilbur- and Samoyed puppy-Charlotte loved her. She was communicative and asked thoughtful questions to ensure the pups were well taken care of!”
“After the past two stays, we happily re-booked Jewelee for this week. This week, Jewelee really went above and beyond the original expectations my wife and I had of her. My wife had a particularly rough week at work, so I asked if Jewelee wouldn't mind helping with a few minor chores around he house. She did her usually monitoring and cleaning of any pet accidents that happened between our leaving for her, and her starting her visits. Jewwelee also helped wash some pet items that had been in the area of said pet accidents. She also unloaded our dishwasher, put everything away where it goes, and re-loaded the dirty dishes and wiped down our stove, etc. My wife was super-excited to come home to a clean house and no chores to do. My wife was so happy, she left Jewelee a thank you note, and Jewelee left a kind little reply. We made sure to tip Jewelee well for the time, and to show appreciation for how great a job she did with the pets and taking care of the house. Jewelee made sure to keep the pets water and food dispensers full, sent pics and videos of playtime with our pets. We are grateful that Jewelee took some initiative and went well beyond the call of duty during her visits. My wife and I would highly recommend Jewelee to anyone that needs some assistance with their pets. We plan to re-book Jewelee again real soon, as after some vacation next week, we could use her help again! I am so glad we decided to give Rover a try for our pet sitting needs! All the stars!”

Julia was extremely professional. She was communicative, punctual, early even, very attentive to my dogs, sent pictures and videos of them all throughout the visit, and very considerate of their needs. Julia went above and beyond for my dogs. They loved her. I won’t hesitate to book her again. 5/5 ⭐️
We can't say enough great things about Rasha. She keeps us up to date, and sends lots of pictures. The way she talks about our dog shows us that she is not only taking care of her, but that she generally cares about her. That is such a comfort. She takes great care of the house too. We come home to a tidy house and a happy dog. She even thoughtfully offered to water the outdoor planters.
This was my first time booking with Melinda and she exceeded all our needs, especially when my dog had a bad day health wise. I took the longest vacation in my adult life and overseas as well, she gave me peace of mind I needed to enjoy my trip. 1000% would rebook and recommend her wholeheartedly.
Brooke is wonderful! I will always try to book her first when I need another Rover. This was the longest we have left our animals and we didn’t think twice about leaving them with Brooke. Although not part of the job, we were able to coordinate with Brooke to handle a leaking sprinkler system from Europe. You can’t go wrong with Brooke!
Hilary took such amazing care of both of our dogs over Memorial Day weekend. She went above and beyond in every way possible. Despite the rainy weather all weekend, she made sure they were walked frequently and well cared for, and it was obvious how much love and attention she gave them. She kept our house incredibly clean and tidy, sent frequent detailed updates and photos so we always knew how the dogs were doing, and gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. On top of that, we had an unexpected freezer leak while she was staying at the house. Hilary immediately notified us, handled the situation herself, and cleaned up the mess without hesitation. She truly treated our home and dogs like they were her own. We came home to happy dogs and a house in even better shape than we left it. I cannot recommend Hilary enough and will absolutely use her again anytime she’s available!
Rebecca is literally the best! She took care of my baby when she wasn’t feeling well even got her some rice and took her to a park. I don’t trust a lot of people but I trust Rebecca so much with my fur baby as I have to rely a lot of others helping me out, so again thank you so much! She my top sitter !
Chelsea took amazing care of our two senior pups during our week long vacation. They are both picky eaters and she pulled out all the tricks to keep them fed while we were gone. She is super communicative and responsive. She understands how stressful it can be for pet parents to be away from their fur babies. We will continue to trust her with our dogs.
Jessica and Connor took the best care of our babies who arent always the easiest to deal with! Especially being bigger dogs who need attention. They stayed with them for a week and we recieved daily pictures and feedback on how they were doing. They clearly are experienced dog people and we would trust them with our babies again!
