Nora was very attentive during the meet and greet, she asked a lot of great questions. Nora sent adorable pictures of my cat, Tiny, while cat sitting! No complaints. I would book with Nora again!

I don’t doubt that Thomas doesn’t absolutely bring a smile to Quilly’s face & that he dotes on her. My only feedback is that I would encourage more sitter initiated communication (using the Rover chat function or close to real time check in & out functions on the app, there’s a function where it lets me know she’s used the bathroom or got fed in the app report. I definitely panicked today because I wasn’t sure if Thomas had arrived and saw Quilly yet. He had been at my home for a bit but I wasn’t sure. I don’t have camera inside. )

About: I have had dogs my whole life. My job has been to feed them, give them water, clean up after them, take them for walks, and give them medication. I also currently have a senior dog, so I have some experience with them! I have experience with small and big dogs alike. I am a college student who is home for the summer, so I have full availability. During the school year, I will work around my class schedule. Evenings and weekends will be free for sure. We have a fenced yard at home. Still, I watch my dogs just in case. In spring/summer I check for ticks every time they go out. When we go on walks, I am always diligent when we pass another dog. If my dogs aren't up for walks, especially my senior dog, we go out into the backyard and play fetch or run around.

This is my first time using Rover or requesting dog sitting and I wasn’t sure if someone would care for not 2, but 3 little dogs for one day… especially my first dog who barks anlot and is reactive a lot to the point when I worry he may not like anyone except family. Well, color me surprised when Drake came to meet and great the day before the booking and my 1yr Chipin took a quick liking to him and the other two! Drake was very professional and kept me up to date on the dogs and didn’t hesitate to ask questions and reply in a timely manner . He respected not only me, but my dogs and home. He was very flexible if something came up on my end and I appreciate the photo updates of my dogs snuggling up with him because I knew they were taken well care for. Thank you again and I will definitely hire again!

Carol was wonderful with our dog, Brutus, while away on business trips. She was super comfortable with him, very experienced with a range of dog behaviors and medical issues, and provided frequent updates and photos. I would leave Brutus in her care any time and know he’s in great hands!

Adrienne was absolutely amazing. I have never had someone dog sit in my home before as I was never comfortable with it, but Adrienne I could tell was a trustworthy person from the start. I have one extremely hyper puppy and a senior who barely leaves her bed, and she did an amazing job watching both. She went above and beyond what I could of asked of her, and we will most definitely use her in the future.

Julia was fantastic!!! We had great communication from the start, which made me feel oh so comfortable leaving our beloved new puppy in Julia’s very capable and loving hands!! Our puppy adores Julia and we will definitely be having her back to pet sit again. Julia was so lovely and kind every step of the way, and she even found and carefully removed 2 ticks from our little pup. She truly cares!! Thank you, Julia!! Can’t wait to have you back soon :).

About: Dogs have been a part of my life since I was young. We had a dog growing up, and I've taken care of other people's dogs too. Many dogs seem to instinctively get a good reading of me and warm up to me quickly. Right now, I'm making a career switch and have a lot of open time. My work search activities schedule varies, so I can easily juggle taking care of your pets. Some people say that I'm a "dog magnet." It's not unusual for dogs, even unfamiliar ones, to instinctively be drawn to me. I also make sure to read any messages or printouts about care and routines so I can get a good idea of the How, What, and Where.

This was our very first time using Rover, and we truly struck gold with Nataliia! She stayed at our home for a week with our two high-energy dogs, and from the start, we felt completely comfortable leaving both our boys and our home in her care. Nataliia came by twice before our trip—once for an initial meet-and-greet and again to go over all the details. Her great disposition won our dogs over instantly, and her professionalism gave us peace of mind. While we were away, she kept in regular communication, sending us photos and even videos of our boys happily playing games with her. Those updates were such a highlight for us! When we returned, our home was exactly as we left it, and our dogs were happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for (we think they were wondering when she’d come back!). Having them at home and cared for made all the difference—it was wonderful to walk in the door and see them right away instead of picking them up elsewhere. Our first Rover experience with Nataliia was fantastic, and we will absolutely request her again. She gave us peace of mind and gave our dogs the love and attention they needed. Highly recommend!

Alex has been an amazing addition to our dog and bearded dragons lives. Between her willingness to come do check in visits with Duke to keep him use to her since he developed stranger danger in his old age (he is 14 years old) to her house sitting both of them when we go out of town. She is always communicating with us while we are gone to let us know of things that she finds in the yard of our house while walking Duke or when Duke decided to slide down the stairs this last trip and the bearded dragon laid some infertile eggs. She has taken amazing care of our pets. Duke even gets sad when she leaves. He truly loves his time with her. We couldn't have been more blessed to have found her.

Catherine was an amazing cat sitter and I would absolutely rebook with her again. She followed all of my care instructions very carefully and was extremely attentive to my cats’ needs while I was away. One thing that really stood out to me was how quickly she noticed an issue with my cat Bruce, who has chronic constipation. I had explained the warning signs to look out for before I left, and the very first night I was gone she noticed he was trying to use the litter box but couldn’t. She contacted me immediately, made herself available for a phone call, and followed all of the care steps I walked her through. Thankfully, Bruce improved a lot after that, and I was so grateful she caught it so early. She also sent constant updates and photos throughout the trip, so I was never left wondering how my babies were doing. Catherine house sat for two nights as well, and when I came home my apartment was exactly as I left it. I felt like my cats and home were genuinely cared for while I was away. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, attentive, and compassionate pet sitter.

Jillian is absolutely amazing with our dog and cat, and they can be a mischievous pair. She stayed at our place with these two for the longest we’d been away so we were nervous. But Jillian made it so that we never worried while away. Lots of updates, photos, walks, and left our place well taken care of too! Couldn’t recommend her more!!
