“Erin was wonderful with our cats! She even got our shy Maus to warm up to her! Great photos and communication. House was today and she even washed the sheets. Have already booked her for our next trip.”

“Chad is awesome! He stayed with our two energetic dogs for 2.5 weeks while we were away. We came home to happy dogs and a ridiculously clean house. He was happy to meet the dogs before hand and do a few walks and kept in touch to let us know the babies were safe and sound. I would definitely recommend using him!”

“Sparkle is a consistent, thoughtful, attentive, loving and kind care giver to my two gatitos. They have house sat for me about three times and i will continue to be a repeat client! They are very thorough with their communication and not a day went by without sweet photos and videos of my babies. My cats trust and know Sparkle and feel a sense of security in their presence. I too feel the same and know they are in great care. Each cat got consistent play time and got to enjoy their favorite activities. Thank you for all you do Sparkle!”

“Thank you so much, Shannon, for taking such great care of our pups! We didn’t worry while we were gone, and we know the dogs had a great time and were well cared for!”

“Holly accommodated a same week request for cat sitting for 3 nights while we were out of town. Our cat was very well-cared for, I received daily updates and photos, and we came home to a very happy cat. Holly was a pleasure to work with and I highly recommend her and wouldn’t hesitate to hire her again! .”

“Shad was amazing! My dog was immediately at ease around him and I could tell he was well cared for while I was away. Great updates and communication throughout from Shad which is always appreciated. Will definitely book again!”


“Catherine did a great job watching Nacho! She sent informative updates to us and quickly let us know us if anything went awry. She followed all of our instructions and also went the extra mile to do helpful things around the house, like take out the trash and strip the linens at the end of her stay. She was friendly and easy to communicate with the whole way. We’d definitely have her watch our dog again.”


“My dog seems to be very reserves and skittish around strangers so was very apprehensive about booking someone from Rover to stay with her. I made the perfect choice with Anthea. My little girl was comfortable with her right away. Anthea sent multiple pictures and put my mind at ease immediately couldn’t ask for a better person to take care of your animal. I will certainly use her again.”

“If you want a genuinely lovely human being who loves animals looking after your fur babies, look no further. I highly recommend Claire!! You won't regret it.”

“Melinda watched my dogs for a 10 day trip after another sitter cancelled. Dogs were happy and calm when I returned home and house was well kept. Thanks so much Melinda!!”

“Peter is Fantastic! He was thorough in asking about my pets needs, as well as following requests and a schedule to ensure they got the right amount of exercise and care. He stayed at the house so it was comforting he was there with them the duration of the time he was caring for them. He sent detailed summaries of the day with pictures each evening. I would absolutely work with Peter again!”

“Megan was very responsive and clearly enjoys doing this work. We had her in for a half day of pet sitting and she took good care of our dog, was great about letting me know specifics on how he was doing, and was flexible with a last minute schedule change. Would definitely hire her again.”

“Heidi was awesome with our kitty cat Stitch! Daily updates and pictures, super loving to our boy and left everything spotless at the house. Stitch seemed so happy and relaxed upon our return which was such a pleasant surprise since he tends to get stressed when we travel. Highly recommend and will definitely hope to book with Heidi again in the future.”

“We’re so happy to have found anna when we needed someone to stay with our pups while we traveled for the holidays. She took great care of the house and our girls, sending regular photo updates and even doing laundry and dishes before heading out. She’s a gem!”

“I just moved back to Portland and was looking for a house sitter for my sweet little old lady, Pearl, and had a few upcoming trips planned. Danny was very communicative, always prompt and was more than willing to help with an unexpected medical need. Pearl was well taken care of and I'll happily work with Danny again.”

“Samantha was great! Met up with us before hand to meet Bandy and see the place. Had an easy questionnaire for us to fill out which took stress off me. Sent pictures and kept me updated throughout the weekend. Our dog seems so happy and to have loved his sitter!”

“Tyler is one of the best Rovers I have ever booked! He followed all of my care instructions and kept me updated on how the dog was doing. The photos he sent me made me feel at ease. I will definitely book him again!”

“Kristen was a thorough and prompt communicator and awesome with our critters! Our anxious dog and cat warmed up to her quickly and she was able to navigate a troublesome toilet issue while we were gone. She is great and we appreciated her house sitting!”

Sunderland pet parents share their Rover experiences
I highly recommend Emily! I have a nervous pup who had never done in-house sitting before and Emily helped her feel positive and comfortable about the experience. The house was in great shape and everyone was in good spirits upon my return. It was a comfort to know both my cat and dog were diligently cared for while I was away.

Barbara is the BEST! I am a repeat customer and will continue to be as long as I can grab her! She helped me out in a pinch when I accidentally scheduled for the wrong night and she is so bright and intuitive regarding my dog needs. She responds promptly to all messages and ask wonderful questions about anything and everything. I love this as I am a very needy and worried dog, Mom when I am away.. Go cannot go wrong with Barbara💕

Dorian was great and easy to work with. Very flexible about meet up times. He gave great updates with pictures and comments while we were away and left the house in good condition when we returned. Our pets all seemed calm and well cared for on our return, no post trip friction to work through. Bonus he even fixed an issue we had been having with our projector! Will definitely think of Dorian when it comes to our next trip.

Aaron was a fantastic cat sitter. He gave my asthmatic cat, Tiger, her inhaler like an absolute pro, sent wonderful photo updates the whole time, and was incredibly conscientious. He left the house spotless, and somehow even won over my very shy kitty, Flora, by the end she was rubbing up against his legs like they’d been best friends for years. Highly recommend.

Mykia did a wonderful job watching our 2 dogs! One of them is very anxious, but warmed up to her on the very first day. She cuddled with them all day and night, and followed the care instructions perfectly. We already booked her again for the next time we are away!

Mel cared for my dog & cat within my home for several nights while I was out of town. She took excellent care of them and sent frequent updates about their wellbeing to ease my anxious mind while I was away :) She is very kind and has a calming presence that my animals took very well to. I'd definitely recommend her and will rebook in the future!

Zabby was a great sitter for my dog and elderly, deaf cat during a week away. She handled daily meds and all my detailed instructions with care, kept the super house clean, and was very responsive. Her updates and comments made it clear she really got to know my pets and their personalities while I was away, which gave me a lot of peace of mind. Everything went smoothly, and I will absolutely book with Zabby again for future trips.

Maria is a great caring petsitter. I was able to enjoy my time away without worrying. She kept me updated daily with photos and messages. My pet crew is no small task and she tackled it with ease. I would recruit her again if she was willing. :-) Definitely a 10 out of 10! Anyone would be lucky to have her caring for their pets.
