1. Rebecca T.

“Rebecca was such a great sitter. It was my first time using rover and I was so comfortable the whole time I was away. I got lots of updates and photos. I would definitely rebook her again any time I need to have my dog watched. My dog has a lot of unique quirks and isn’t the best behaved especially when anxious and she had great patience with him and made him feel safe and comfortable. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience!”


2. Anthony L.

“Anthony was an absolute pro! He was so kind and patient with our dog and super attentive in texting us to make sure his approach was satisfactory. We would 100% use Anthony again!”


3. Hannah M.

“Hannah was great!”


4. elizabeth h.

“Amazing! Elizabeth came on time and kept my dog company as how I wanted. I will definitely book with her again and stay with her instead of finding again. Very caring to my dog as well!”


5. Kaitlynn M.

“My husband and I are so grateful to Kaity for taking such great care of our dog. She kept us updated the entire time with great communication and pictures. We felt super comfortable the entire time we were away knowing Reggie was in great hands!”


6. Crystal M.


“We loved having Crystal house sit our two kittens! She was very responsive and sent us updates on our kittens with cute photos to make us feel assured. She left the house in a great shape, and we’d love having her back!”


7. Samara A.

“We had a last minute cancellation 30 minutes before a sitter was to arrive. Samara responded to our request immediately and was quick to set us up to watch Poe. Poe was staying home for the day after an emergency care visit, and Samara was so kind and attentive. We informed her our concern with his loss of appetite and she took time to gently hand feed him during our suggested meal times. We were sent picture and video updates to ease our mind throughout the day. So thankful for her care and we hope to book her to watch Poe again in the future!”


8. Jordan A.

“Jordan helped us with a last minute cancellation. She was incredibly responsive and professional and my dogs loved her from the second she walked into the house. Will definitely use her again.”


9. Morgan M.

“Morgan is amazing! My dog Gobi loved her the minute he met her and he happily let me go to work while Morgan watched him for the day. She is gentle with our nervous guy, sends sweet updates/pics and took care of him perfectly. We couldn't be happier :)”


10. Alexandra L.

“Alexandra was very professional and very caring for my dog. He’s a bit reactive and scared sometimes but he warmed up well to Alex. She also sent updates when I asked and sent updates when I didn’t. I would definitely hire her again”


11. Dee B.

“I couldn’t be more grateful for the care Dee provided to my cat, Ash, over the past four days! From the moment I met Dee, I could tell she was passionate about animals and really understood their needs. She kept me updated with adorable photos and sweet messages, letting me know how Ash was doing. It was clear that Dee went above and beyond to make sure Ash felt loved and comfortable while I was away. When I returned, Ash was calm, happy, and seemed to have enjoyed her time with Dee. I highly recommend Dee for anyone looking for a reliable, kind, and attentive pet sitter—she truly treated Ash like her own baby!”


12. Fernando O.

“Fernando took great care of our two large dogs! We have one senior dog and one reactive dog and Fernando was easygoing, competent, and kind! I can't wait to book again. Thank you!”




13. Meric P.



“Meric was very easy to communicate with and sent lots of updates and pics. He also left our house spotless. We would definitely use him again!”


14. Tiffany K.

“Tiffany was great! She sat for my two cats. She sent regular updates about my kitties and photos! She stayed at my home and was super respectful. I would definitely trust her again to cat sit/housesit! Highly recommend!!”


15. Cassie R.


“Cassie was absolutely wonderful watching our high energy puppy for a long weekend at our place - she sent lots of photos which gave us peace of mind while we were out of town for a few days! Highly recommend Cassie as a trustworthy sitter for your pets :)”


16. Salette H.

“Salette was fantastic with our dog, Nox and I would highly recommend her. Our dog can be very skittish and exhibits herding behaviors, but Salette read our dog’s behavior the minute she walked in. Nox also has to take medications for her allergies, Salette followed her regimen very well and we noticed that Nox’s skin was in really good condition when we returned from our trip. Salette also had excellent communication while we were away, making my husband and I feel confident that there were no issues while we were away. Our place looked just like we left it, making our return even easier.”


17. Shannon W.

“Shannon was amazing with my puppy Bear! She arrived early, sent photo updates & made sure to keep him happy & occupied while I was out - thanks again, Shannon! 🐾”


18. Marquis S.

“Marquis did a fantastic job caring for my Braxton while I away. He sent me updates daily with photos, and made sure Braxton never felt alone (Braxton has bad separation anxiety). I will definitely be booking Marquis in the future.”


19. Molly G.


“Molly is my new go-to for overnight stays with our senior cat. Super responsive and attentive to our girl, who was extra chill upon our return from a 9-day trip. And a very conscientious house guest! So glad to find her!”


20. James D.

“James did an incredible job pet sitting our two pups while we were away! He was incredibly communicative and proactively reached out to provide daily updates which was so appreciated. Additionally, he left our apartment just as he found it! We would 100% work with James again for future bookings!”
