“Cori always does a fantastic job with the pups! She keeps me very updated on what's going on with them and talks about them like she's their bff. My dogs can be quirky because I have a very alpha female but she handles any difficulties well! We've already booked 3 times in 2 months because she takes such great care of them.”
“Alyssa was absolutely amazing! She stayed with my very energetic dog for 3 nights. She sent updates and pictures throughout and kept my mind at ease. My house looked better than when I left it. Highly recommend and will be reaching out to Alyssa again in the future.”
“Marie was wonderful with Bailey. We were away for long stretch and Maria sent many photos and videos which helped being away less stressful. Maria was very communitive and respectful. I would not hesitate to ask Maria to take care of our Bailey.”
“Amoreena is amazing! She watched our pets while we were gone on vacation and stayed at our house. I felt completely comfortable and knew that our pets were well taken care of. Amoreena went above and beyond to make sure our dog was exercised, "safe" from the rain, and cuddled in bed! Amoreena sent updates and photos which was greatly appreciated. I HIGHLY recommend for any and all pet-sitting needs!”
“Kara bonded with my cat, which is not easy to do, but important to my cat's and my peace of mind! She was great at communicating and sending updates & pics. She took good care of my home. Kara is an interesting person also!”
“Macenzie was absolutely wonderful with our pup! She was super communicative, sent photos throughout the day & kept us informed with her coming & going though it was not requested. Left the house is wonderful shape as well! Highly recommend !”
“Jenna was great- responsive, friendly and responsible. Sitting my skittish, introverted rescue pup takes an extra level, and I really appreciate her knowledge and comfort around animals!”
“Diana was amazing with my two Goldens (one 10 yo and the other 6 months). She kept me updated on how they were, was very responsive, and respectful of my house. I’d absolutely recommend her!”
“Emalyn was fantastic. I felt I could trust her from the time she walked in the door and the pups took right to her. She did a fantastic job. It was the first vacation I had in years and although I missed my dogs horribly, I knew they were safe and sound. I will continue to use her as long as she wants to pupsit. Also, it just wasnt my dogs, she had the utmost respect for my house. I believe she took better care of everything than I left it for her. I am so grateful for her.”
“So grateful for John! Very understanding of the difficulties I had leaving my Luna for the first time like this - sent me multiple texts, pictures and videos assuring me she was doing well and happy. Very flexible with my schedule and made the point to come meet Luna ahead of time on a previous day. Very attentive to Luna's schedule and her specific little quirks. Luna clearly enjoyed her time, giving John a super speed tail wag and some kisses before we left.”

“We had an excellent experience with Yelitza as dog sitter and would happily book with her again. From the very beginning, she was incredibly communicative, sending frequent updates and lots of photos, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. What impressed us most was how quickly our dogs warmed up to her during the meet and greet. One of our dogs is extremely shy and nervous around new people, so seeing Richard immediately comfortable with our sitter was remarkable and spoke volumes about her calm, caring demeanor. She also went above and beyond throughout the stay. Not only did she take wonderful care of our dogs, but she cleaned up after them without being asked and even brought in packages that arrived while we were away. Those thoughtful extra touches were such a pleasant surprise. We returned home to happy, well-cared-for dogs and felt completely confident that they were in great hands. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, attentive, and genuinely caring pet sitter.”
“Kaylah is very responsive and dependable. She did a great job with my very nervous rescue dog, putting my dog right at ease. We’re looking forward to having her back!”
“Tyler was very thoughtful, communicative, and helpful the whole time I was away. I felt completely comfortable having him in my home . . . and based on the pics so did my dog Cooper :) would have Tyler back any time!”

Margaret checked in with Miki a couple times throughout the few days and returned to spend each night with Miki. Miki is our rescue dog and he’s very fearful, so will try to bite. Margaret took this on anyway, and arrived with her own snacks after we had left. We left Margaret fresh cooked turkey for Miki, and a large piece of cardboard for her protection (which she never had to use). Miki was licking her hand by the next day. Margaret had the experience to gain Miki’s trust. We are grateful. This was the first time we hired anyone to watch Miki in 7 years. It proved to be a good experience all around. We returned to find our house as we left it.
Isabel was by far the best dog sitter I’ve ever hired! She constantly kept me updated with so many pictures and status on what she was doing with Westyn and without me even asking! She went above and beyond to make sure he was super comfortable and well taken care of while I was out of town for work. I wo definitely be utilizing her services in the near future.
Kendra was so lovely to work with - she was friendly, understanding, and communicative. She was great about checking in with regular updates, and she took excellent care of our dogs and our home while we were away. Would definitely love to work with her again!
RJ was AMAZING with my babies. I’ve never had such a more relaxed time away from home. I was constantly updated throughout the day with messages and pictures. The dogs absolutely loved their time at home while I was away when typically they have separation anxiety. I would absolutely recommend RJ to anyone looking for a down to earth, well skilled and talented sitter!!
Desiree was amazing! She was available for us very last minute and made the whole experience easy and worry-free. Even though we were only gone for one night, she kept us updated the entire time and sent pictures, which we really appreciated. Our dogs are older and very relaxed, and it was clear they were comfortable and well cared for. She took them on a walk, stayed longer than planned, and we came home to a clean house. We will definitely be booking with Desiree again and highly recommend her!
Cammie was very quick to respond and do a meet and greet same day we reached out. She was very attentive, took very good care of the animals and communicated every time she fed and let my dog out to potty. This was my first time using Rover for my animals and I will definitely be using Cammie again.
