“Rose is the best housesitter we've ever used from Rover! Responsible and great with communication! We had a small house/car emergency while she was housesitting, and she handled it perfectly. We will definitely be using her again.”
12. Kayli P.
“Kayli did a wonderful job taking care of our girls while we were out of town. She provided regular updates and pictures and reached out when she noticed one of our dogs was chewing at her paw. It was just some mild irritation, but I appreciated her paying close attention to our dogs and letting me know there was a possible issue. I'd use her again and would recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter.”

“Sarah is an absolute gem when it comes to caring for pets! With a lifetime of experience around animals, she truly understands what it takes to make pets feel loved and secure. From a young age, Sarah was the go-to pet sitter for our neighbors, and it's easy to see why—animals are naturally drawn to her kind and empathetic nature. Her passion for animals shines through in every interaction, whether she's walking dogs, feeding cats, or pet-sitting overnight. Sarah's dedication, reliability, and genuine love for animals make her the perfect choice for anyone looking for a responsible and compassionate pet sitter!”
16. Lynne F.
“Lynne was a great house sitter and did an excellent job taking care of our fur baby. She shared photos every day and even left a sweet message to welcome us home. It was comforting knowing our geriatric lab had company, especially in the evening, while we were out of town. I would highly recommend Lynne and look forward to rebooking with her in the future!”
17. Liesel B.
“Liesel was a great match for our dogs. She played fetch with the doodle to his hearts content. He told us! Will definitely hope to book her again. Thank you Liesel!”
18. Egon P.
“Emily was wonderful with my two large dogs, who have a lot of energy and have some dog reactivity to be managed, so they are not the easiest dogs to look after. I was very nervous about leaving them with a new person (first time using Rover!) but Emily had come recommended and I felt much more comfortable after speaking with her and doing a meet-and-greet. She kept me updated with photos and video throughout the stay and I returned to two very happy content pups. Can confidently recommend Emily as a conscientious and attentive sitter.”
19. Emma R.
“Emma is super nice and chill, and she did a great job watching my cattle dog who can be anxious sometimes. She was very respectful of the apartment as well. Already rebooked with her!”
20. Katelyn E.
“Katelyn was amazing with my dog, Bella. She treated her like family, ensuring she was happy, well-fed, and loved. I couldn’t have asked for better care!”
