“James is the best dog sitter / walker we have ever had! He manages our two goldens (one a young puppy) with ease. Can’t say enough positive things about our experience with him!”
“Danielle did an amazing job taking care of our very new puppy! She handled everything that a new puppy throws at you very well. Our home and new family member were in great hands with Danielle.”
“Madelyn did a fantastic job taking care of my two dogs, two cats, and house during a recent overnight trip, and I can recommend her without reservation. It was my first time using Rover so I wasn't quite sure what to expect, but Madelyn made it super easy. She is responsible, enthusiastic, and communicative, and it's clear she loves animals. And judging from the pics she sent, the animals had a wonderful time!”
“I never like leaving my dog for an extended period of time, but Mary made it not only comfortable but a pleasure to see that I can and should relax during travels and place trust in such a competent professional. I can't thank her enough for the excellent service.”
“Amanda was a wonderful sitter for our doodle Henry. He loved having her and she really took great care of him. He had walks and playtime and she sent frequent pictures showing us how much fun Henry was having. I was completely at ease knowing she was at our house with him. She also left the house impeccable. We highly recommend her!!!”
“Tessa was amazing with our two hyper dogs! She was patient, kind, and communicative from start to finish. She definitely made us feel comfortable leaving our fur babies for a few days-sending pictures at least once a day! She even washed the bedding and towels before leaving which was so over and above what we ever expected of her. I highly recommend using her for any and all pet needs. We greatly appreciate all she did for us!”
“Jack did a great job house sitting our dogs as always! He was able to accommodate us with a last minute request and we appreciate his flexibility. We definitely recommend Jack to take great care of your fur babies.”
“Fantastic sitter for my pup. Maggie stayed with my dog in my house and she took great care of my dog and home. Great communication and an overall excellent experience. Highly recommended!”
“Was nothing short of amazing. From the meet and greet to entire time Lettie was house sitting, she was attentive and thorough. Gave updates along the way and made the entire experience so stress free. Best experience with Rover yet!”
“Our experience with Christian was amazing! Christian house sat for us and our anxious dog and cared for the house and our dog so well. Christian sent consistent updates and went above and beyond. We will definitely use Christian for house sitting again!!”
“Highly recommend Star! She's worked hard to make friends with our shy pup and kept us updated on the progress during this booking. We'll definitely use her again!”
“Jordan did a great job taking care of my dog, Beckett! She sent plenty of pictures and even knitted a little paw for me while I was gone. I also appreciated that she was tidy and bonus ran my dishwasher and stripped the bed for me on her last day. Would absolutely recommend Jordan!”
“Dakota, this review is written also as my gratitude. Thank you again for all your time and attention to my dogs for such a very long time (12 days!). They were content and happy when I got back. And the house was spotless! (You didn’t have to clean up!) I felt safe leaving them with you and deeply appreciated your daily updates and photos. I hope you and Spam would be willing to help us out again in the future 😊!!”
“We were gone for 10 days. Samantha house and dog sat. She is fantastic. Took care of them like they were her own. She even helped out and watered our outdoor plants since there was no rain. Highly recommended.”
“Mackenzie was wonderful! She was so kind and considerate of our pets needs and communicated with us often so we never worried a bit about our fur babies back home. Thank you Mackenzie!!”
“Lilian was wonderful for my last minute house sitting request! She was quick to respond, sent lots of updates, and so responsible. My dog Pearl was in great hands! I would certainly book again.”
“Jessica was so patient with my anxious pup and kept me updated throughout the sitting! Left the house nice and tidy as well. Would highly recommend her to other pet parents!”
“Jalyn stayed with my dog for over two weeks and was such a wonderful dog sitter! She not only did a great job taking care of my dog but was also incredibly communicative and made sure I was updated all the time!”
“Kris was great! She took excellent care of my pets and kept me informed of their walks and activities. Kris sent pictures and was communicative both before and during her stay. I definitely recommend her and hope to book her services again.”
