Keaton was a fantastic house/dog-sitter, taking care of our elderly dog and three cats. Keaton quickly made friends with everyone and updated us twice a day with medication info, walk notes, and photos. We felt relaxed and comfortable knowing our pets (and home) were in good hands. Thank you, Keaton!

Katherine was really great and communicative. My dog is very nervous around new people, and she took the time to make her comfortable and build trust.

Cora was an excellent sitter that got Ozzy and Dee out for many walks. They loved her and she was attentive and an extremely good communicator which put our minds at ease. Definitely will look to book again and highly recommend to all pet owners!

I simply cannot express the relief I had while traveling with Vanessa as my house/pet sitter. I have 2 cats and was babysitting my daughters cat, who arrived the day I left. Vanessa sent pics everyday of the cats snuggled with her or chilling in their fav spots! My trip was very unexpected, and it was my first time using Rover. I’ve always wary booked Vanessa again for a trip I had planned and was going to take my cat to my daughters, but it was so much more relaxing for them here in their home❤️

100% will book again and highly recommend Steven! Steven watched over my 16 year old cat with few health issues that required extra attention. On top of that, we recently lost another cat (her companion for 15 years) and she has been lonely and high stress. We were having second thoughts about leaving on vacation. Steven did an incredible job communicating during the entire trip. He provided daily summary of how she was doing, her appetite, her energy, meds etc. He honestly made our vacation 100% more relaxing and worry free. When we came back our cat was very chill and relaxed, a great sign that she had great company and that she loved Steven. I plan to become a repeat customer and 100% recommend him. Your pet will certainly be in great hands with Steven

Julianne was great with our dog Marcy. Marcy is not used to being away from us so she was shy and sad. But it was clear that she felt comfortable with Julianne and was well taken care of. Julianne stayed at our house and kept everything tidy, and even fed my fish. She gave us just enough updates so that we could enjoy our vacation without worrying about Marcy. We would definitely hire her again!

Macky took wonderful care of our 12 year old dog and three cats while my husband and I were away for eight days. She sent us lots of updates and pictures, asked questions when she needed to, quickly responded to questions, and was right on time for our meet and greet and the day her stay started. We hope Macky will keep taking care of our babies when we need someone!

Salah did a wonderful job house sitting for us and caring for our two pups! He was extremely responsible and came over before the booking to meet our girls and learn our care instructions in person. He asked thoughtful questions, made sure he understood our dogs’ routines, and even prepared for potential emergencies so he would know exactly what to do if something unexpected happened. Throughout the stay, he kept us updated with plenty of photos, took them on great walks, and made sure they were safe, happy, and well cared for. We felt completely comfortable leaving our dogs in his care and would absolutely book with him again. Highly recommend! Thank you, Salah!
