“Penny was absolutely wonderful with our Bailey boy. He absolutely adored her and has been looking for her since we got home! She was very communicative and cared for him as if he was one of her own. 100% recommend her for any of your needs. We are ready to plan our next vacation knowing we have Penny to care for him ❤️”

“Cristina is the absolute best sitter. She’s so calm and warm. She sends lots of photos and keeps me updated. I trust her completely and know she’s taking good care of my puppy.”

“Kristen was a wonderful house/dog sitter. She communicated, sent pictures, followed all the directions and we came back to a very happy dog and clean house! Highly recommend her for future adventures.”

“Abi took great care of Molly while we were on vacation. She sent us photo updates and left our space nice and clean. I will definitely be seeking out Abi’s help next time we are in need!”


“excellent gal and great pricing too! she really goes above and beyond her pay grade and puts in the extra mile to make my animals feel safe while i was away! will rebook when needed!!! Also the pictures she sent put me at ease 11/10”

“Luliia took care of our two big guys for 10 days, giving them all the love and attention they needed while we were gone. We could rest easy knowing that our dogs were in good hands and someone was watching over our home. When we came home, our house was in better shape than when we left it. Highly recommend — will definitely be using Luliia again!”

“Kristina is ah-ma-zing! She sends multiple videos/photos during the stay, and obviously loves working with animals. She’s excellent person and we will rebook with her in a heart beat”

“Taylor was amazing in her care for Lottie. She carefully listened to Lottie‘s needs, and then paid a lot of attention to the most helpful ways of watching and caring for her. Would definitely hire her again!”

“This was our first time using Rover and our first time leaving our dogs with anyone but our family. Lacie was super lovely, updated us all throughout the stay, and our pups were both settled and rested when we came home. Would defianntly recommend and utilise Lacies amazing dog whispering skills again!”

“Lilah was awesome with our dog while we were out of town for a night! She was timely, attentive, and made sure to send us updates & pictures! We’ll definitely use her again!”

“Gretchen is a Rock Star! She did her first doggy sit for me for seven days and I couldn't be happier. My dogs were well taken care of, my home was secure, and I felt very comfortable while I was thousands of miles away on vacation. You can't go wrong with Gretchen. Gretchen's Grade is: A+”
“Chioma was great- my dog can be a little wary of new people but Chioma was very patient and sent a lot of nice photos during her stay and took him on nice walks (in the heat!). My cat is also not the most friendly but Chioma charmed him, too. Thank you!!”

“We have a dog with a lot of anxiety and a cat that is apathetic about humans. But Kari won them both over!!! She is an incredibly caring person that obviously loves animals. She has my highest recommendation!”

“Sergio did an amazing job. He dog sat/house sat for us. He was our very first dog sitter and we’re couldn’t have been more nervous about leaving the fur baby with someone! We did a meet and great as was recommended. He is SUCH a nice guy! When we returned home, it was so spotless that we couldn’t figure out where he slept. We will definitely rebook Sergio in the future.”

“Hannah was awesome!! Rosie dog fell in love with her right away so I knew she would be in good hands while we were away. Hannah provided great updates and tons of pictures!! Always answered quickly when I checked in!! She also left a detailed note of the days we were gone including how walks went, etc. Can’t wait to work with her again!”

“Our Nyxie was a rescue dog & she does not trust or accept strangers easily. But Janelle was gentle & patient with her & gradually won her over with love. We really appreciate it!”

“Amelia is a very caring and thoughtful sitter. She provided excellent care for our puppy and I would highly recommend her to anyone needing a dog sitter. Excellent communication, and my puppy immediately took to her and was happy to spend a day with her.”

Summit-University pet parents share their Rover experiences
Margaret was wonderful with our three-legged pup, Harper. She was very friendly and communicative, met with us before the booking to make sure instructions were clear, she sent sweet pictures, and Harper was in a great mood when we got home. Our house was tidy, our dog was loved, and she even left us with three little dog booties which will be very helpful on walks when the concrete heats up this summer (such a thoughtful gift!). I highly recommend having Margaret watch your pup.

Our animals: a dog, a cat, and a parrot all had tell tale signs that Lucy was the perfect care provider. Not one of them seem to miss us. Lucy provided updates daily and left us not one bit worried while we relaxed on vacation. No anxiety in the animals eyes and no worries for us makes rebooking Lucy the next time a no brainer.

Penny was absolutely AMAZING and we are so very thankful for her help watching our babies (2 dachshunds). If you know anything about a dachshund, they are loving, needy and can be barky and particular about new friends. We had previously never left our dogs with anyone other than family, but needed to find a sitter while we were away for our wedding for a week with family. Penny blew it out of the park from the moment we did our meet and greet. She has such a warm and calm presence that our dogs instantly became comfortable around (which is no small feat when you’re meeting a dachshund!). She gave us twice daily updates while we were away with plenty of pictures that we were so happy to see. It was clear through her messages that our pups were getting plenty of love and engagement. We were quite worried about our finicky pups and Penny eased those worries and went above and beyond. We would 10/10 recommend Penny and look forward to using her pet watching services in the future 🙏💗 Thank you so much Penny!!! (From the dogs and us humans)

I would give Jeremiah 6 stars if I could! He was so great with my cat, Rumple. He visited a couple times before I left so that Rumple would be more comfortable with him. Great communication veggie and during my trip, plenty of pics and videos, and Rumple is calm and happy even though I was gone for 2.5 weeks. Will definitely be booking Jeremiah again in the future!

Alex recently stayed at our house with our two dogs and one cat and we highly recommend her! All three were immediately comfortable with her and it was so nice knowing we were leaving them in such caring and competent hands. She provided us with updates while we were away and it was clear that our pets were loved and well taken care of when we were gone. We came home to three very happy pets and are confident that was a result of Alex’s time with them. Would definitely book again!

Jessica did a wonderful job watching our dogs while we were away. She was on time, kept us regularly updated, and made sure we always knew how the dogs were doing. Our dogs liked her and were relaxed and happy when we got home. We had no complaints and would book with her again.
