“Johanna is always amazing! She's so good with Oscar's care and he absolutely adores her. He used to be desperate for attention when I came home from work trips but since Johanna became our regular sitter, he has such a good time with her that it seems like he doesn't even mind that I'm gone.”
“I’ve used a few different sitters on Rover before and have had great experiences, but Brett truly went above and beyond. He sent tons of pictures during each drop-in with the cutest (and funniest) commentary, which made being away so much easier. He even made friends with my cat who normally hides from strangers — I was shocked! He was also extra gentle and loving with my senior dog, which meant so much to me. It’s clear he genuinely cares. I would absolutely book him again and highly recommend him.”
“Maggie checked all boxes to make you feel comfortable leaving your fur and feather babies! She responded promptly and took great care in leaving thoughtful and detailed “report cards” for checkins. Upon returning the kittens and chickens were so happy and at ease. The house was also very clean. Highly recommend Maggie :)”
“Ana was wonderful! Very responsive, friendly, totally reliable and a natural with our dogs. She watched our two Labradors for a couple days, she was great about sending notes and pictures of how things were going, our dogs loved her! We would definitely recommend her services!”
“Once again Deidre was amazing with my pups! I think they recognize her now because they are starting to come out of their kennel for her with no issues! Which is a huge accomplishment for them.”
“Thank you so much Ari! Our pups were so relaxed as we returned home ??? We were able to enjoy today's event without worrying them! We appreciates Ari's professionalism and sweetness to our pups. This was the first time with Ari and definitely we request him again?”
“Jerrie wad the best. Always attentive to Mike's needs as well as keeping me updated with pics and messages of how things were going. I have recommended her to my friends and family.”
“Becky has been so wonderful with my new puppy. Her communication is fantastic as well as the photos she sends of her! Poppy always loves her visits. It has made this transition of bringing a new puppy home so much less stressful!”
“Annmarie was fabulous! I would use her again! She is thoughtful and caring about your pet. Sent pictures and you can tell she cares for your family pet kindly. So glad to have found her!!! Thank you”
“Naomi is wonderful! She communicates very well and spends a lot of time personalizing her drop in visits to make sure my pup is fully fulfilled while I’m gone. She has a calm demeanor and is so patient with my wild girl! Highly recommend!”
“Erica was an absolute angel!! She went above and beyond while taking care of our two cats. They aren't the easiest siblings in the world, but Erica was like the cat whisperer for them. She spent a lot of time with them, fed them, and played with them every day. We felt so good and comfortable leaving them in Erica's hands. I would highly recommend her for any of your pet-sitting needs!”
“We love having Angela come and care for our cats and dogs. She responds so quickly making booking easy and she never hesitates to contact us if something comes up while we are away. When we return, our pets are always calm and happy, a sure sign that she takes good care of them.”
“Lizzy was great with our dogs and kept us updated the whole trip with photos and messages letting us know how they were doing! I highly recommend her and will definitely be booking with her in the future”
“Aaliyah was great with my Beau. He’s very passionate about his pool time and Aaliyah made him a happy boy by playing fetch with him in the pool. She was very communicative which I really appreciate.”
“Vita came through when I needed help on short notice. She gave Raven the attention, exercise and dinner she needed, and allowed me to relax as I made my way home from a family funeral.”
“Helena did a wonderful job taking care of my two cats. She is dedicated to making sure all aspects of their needs are met and she goes the extra mile. I especially appreciate the time she spent getting to know both of them. I have a very shy one and she was able to interact with him much more than I expected. She is also a great communicator. I definitely recommend her!”
“Vanessa is a great communicator, trustworthy, and took excellent care of our dogs without any issue. She handled their complicated social needs well and made us feel at ease while we were out of town. Highly recommend!”
“Maddy is wonderful! My dog absolutely loves her. She’s thoughtful, thorough, and leaves no trace behind. Her communication is stellar, and she takes care to secure the house every time.

Absolutely wonderful — we couldn’t have asked for better care for Winston & Rosie! Johanna was fantastic from our very first message. She was quick to reply, super friendly, and incredibly flexible while we worked out a meet-and-greet time. When she came to meet the pups she was warm and patient, and we instantly felt comfortable leaving them in her care. Her updates during the drop-ins and house sitting were outstanding — detailed, reassuring, and full of adorable photos that made being away so much easier. She handled Rosie’s initial nervousness perfectly (gave her space, used treats, and adapted walks until she was wagging and excited), while Winston had a blast on his outings. Every check-in felt thoughtful and personalized. Johanna is professional, reliable, and clearly loves dogs. She went above and beyond to keep us in the loop and make sure the pups were happy and safe. We came home to happy, well-cared-for dogs and zero stress. We would (and will!) book Johanna again in a heartbeat. Thank you so much — you’re a 10/10 sitter! 🐾
I have now worked with Madison several times and would very highly recommend her. Madison is consistently professional, competent, and easy to work with, and has become one of my pet’s absolute favorite people. The updates and photos I receive are always detailed and show genuine care for my pet. Madison also consistently goes above and beyond, so I know that not only will my pet be taken care of, but also that my home will be taken care of, and that Madison will notify me of any issues that come up while I am away. The peace of mind that comes with booking Madison is genuinely priceless, and is an absolute steal at her current rates.
Helena is a great communicator and took excellent care of our 3 animals (1 large, excitable dog; 2 cats) while we were away for several days visiting family. I really appreciated how quickly she reached out if she had any questions and how promptly she responded during our check-ins. Helena has lovely energy and we could absolutely tell the pets appreciated having such a warm and capable caregiver while we were away. It definitely helped set our minds at ease knowing our animals (especially our big, dopey, kinda high-maintenance dog) were all in such excellent hands. Thank you, Helena!!
We feel so incredibly lucky to have found our pet sitter! She is truly the best ever. This is the second time we’ve hired her, and she will absolutely be our forever pet sitter. She goes above and beyond in every way! Not only does she take amazing care of our cats, but also takes the trash out and keeps everything so tidy. Every day she sends thoughtful updates and photos which gives us so much peace of mind while we’re away. It’s also very clear that she genuinely cares about our cats! The way she interacts with them and updates us makes it obvious they’re in loving, attentive hands. Her communication is excellent! She's responsive, clear, and genuinely kind and friendly. She even took the time to learn our alarm system! Most importantly, she is completely trustworthy, and we feel 100% comfortable having her in our home. We cannot recommend her highly enough. If you’re looking for someone reliable, caring, and truly exceptional, she is it!
Kate did a terrific job and took excellent care of our pets. She went above and beyond what was expected and took the time to bring in a couple packages that were delivered while we were gone and vacuumed up some kitty litter spillage. We would hire her again in a heartbeat and will recommend her to family and friends.
Ket was truly a lifesaver and an absolute gem of a sitter. We contacted her very last minute, and without hesitation she was more than willing to step in and help care for our cats, Lucy and Peter. From the very beginning, communication was easy, reassuring, and thoughtful. We had already left the U.S. for vacation a few weeks before she came, so we scheduled a video call to explain everything in detail—our situation, how our fur babies were doing, their routines, and all the instructions for the house. Ket was attentive, asked great questions, and made us feel completely at ease right away. It was clear she genuinely cared and took the responsibility seriously. While we were away, she followed every instruction perfectly and went above and beyond. She made sure Lucy and Peter were well-fed, played with, and showered with love and attention. She cleaned their feeder, water fountain, and litter box machine thoroughly, keeping everything spotless. On top of that, she kindly brought in our Chewy online order and even took our trash can out so it could be picked up—small details that made a huge difference and showed how thoughtful she is. Lucy and Peter were clearly comfortable and happy with her, which means everything to us. Coming home knowing our cats were loved and our home was well cared for was priceless. We would absolutely, without a doubt, have Ket again. She is reliable, kind, proactive, and genuinely wonderful. Highly, highly recommended! 💛
We felt very comfortable with Rylee and recommend her services without hesitation. We will definitely ask her to pet sit in the future if she is available. She made the effort to understand what our cat needed, communicated reliably with us, sent pictures and left things clean. We weren't sure if our cat would take medicine from another person but she did with Rylee.
We're so grateful to have had Xiu look in on our kitty while we were overseas for almost 2 weeks. She allowed us to relax and not stress, knowing our Cookie was getting the best care ❤️ Xiu kept an open line of communication, sent daily updates with pictures and videos and handled changes like a pro! We'll happily hire her again 😊
