“Katherine did an amazing job looking after my old cat. I thought Dooney might hide for at least a little while but he didn’t hide at all. He quickly warmed up to Katherine and didn’t want her to leave. I appreciate all the time she spent hanging out with him and keeping him company while I was gone.”
“This was our second time booking with Jason and we truly can’t wait for the next! He exudes professionalism far beyond our expectations. His communication is flawless which makes us feel so comfortable while he’s house sitting with our fur babies. As a giant breed, Baloo can be a handful but Jason handles him with ease and he also seems to ease Phoebe’s chronic anxiety with his chill demeanor. One of our cats, who is afraid of her own shadow, has even warmed up to Jason, which is mind-blowing because she doesn’t like ANYONE! Both times that Jason has stayed with us he has left the house cleaner than he found it and he clearly KNOWS dogs. As a dog dad himself he knows what we care about. He lets us know what time they walked, how their poops were, and how their appetite has been. For the first time in years we finally feel comfortable and encouraged to travel without our pets thanks to Jason. 5 stars doesn’t say enough about how excellent he is, we are recommending him to everyone we know.”
“Kim was an amazing house sitter. She was very communicative, took great care of the pets, and left my house squeaky clean. I could tell from the photos she sent that my pups were very comfortable and relaxed with her. 12/10!”
“Emily was great with our two pups. They’re usually uneasy around new people, but she took the time to earn their trust and made them feel comfortable. She arrived on time for every visit, communicated clearly, and sent thoughtful updates with photos that really put us at ease. As first-time Rover users, we were a little nervous, but Emily made the whole experience feel easy and reassuring. We came home to two happy, relaxed dogs — we look forward to booking with her again!”
“First time booking with Michelle. She was very communicative, responsible, and friendly. My cats were well taken care while I was out of town.”
“Yoo Jee is the best! She took excellent care of our pets and home! One of our bathrooms flooded unfortunately while we were gone and she took care of everything. We will definitely hire her again.”
“Yessica was excellent! She was punctual, polite, experienced and our dog loved her. He’s not easily accepting, but he really took to her. She sent pics daily and kept us up to date during the visit. We highly recommend.”
“AMAZING!!! I just got a new pup only 9 weeks old and we have been attached at the hip. I had to go to an office lunch and was in such a stress to find him someone good. After being cancelled on I found Daniela. I knew off the bat she was a dog lover because she didn’t mind my little Harlows kisses ! She was truly great and I felt so relieved. She sent tons of feedback and pictures and even waited for me as I was running late. 100%%% recommendable. Thank you daniela!”
“Jenna was fantastic at taking care of our fur babies while we were away for the weekend!

“We can't thank Maryan enough for the incredible care she provided for our dogs while we were on vacation—she’s truly the best dog sitter we’ve ever had.

She even left our house clean and tidy, which was a wonderful bonus. We returned home to two very happy and relaxed girls, which speaks volumes about her care.

Andrea was fantastic! Extremely flexible and an excellent communicator. She was so attentive to our little Phoebe who was having some GI issues, but she kept calm and just rolled with it. It gave us such peace of mind knowing Andrea was with Phoebe taking great care of her. Highly recommend! Thank you Andrea!
It was a pleasure meeting Mindy and having her care overnight for my Scottie, Watson and tabby, Edison. Mindy was immediately greeted and accepted by the pets. She spent time with them at a meet and greet and also learned about the feeding and walking schedules plus all aspects of their care and the house. She was in contact during the overnight, sending texts and photos which I appreciated. I would absolutely have her come back to pet sit!
Amanda was an incredible home & pet sitter for our fur babies, candy Abigail and olivia. She kept us updated with sweet photos and left our home spotless. We are so grateful to have her care for our pets while away; we know they are in the best hands with her care. Highly recommend her to anyone in need of a caring and trustworthy home & pet sitter!
Jamie is amazing...thoughtful, caring and attentive to all my senior dog's special needs. I am so thankful to have connected with him through Rover and I highly recommend him!
