1. Laura L.
“Laura did a great job with my pets. She sent me pictures and updates on how they were doing, this gave me peace of mind and the ability to enjoy my vacation. This was the first time they were taken care of someone they didn’t know but they all trusted her and it was life as usual for them. Will definitely try to book Laura when I plan my next vacation.”
2. Nicole H.
“Nicole is awesome. She stayed with my zoo and everyone was well taken care of and happy while we were gone. Communication was great. She will be back!”
3. Alyssa B.
“I could go on and on…SO wonderful!!! Alyssa you are truly a gem! Thank you so much for taking such wonderful care of my boys while I was away 6 days. Alyssa stayed in my home throughout the day and night, attending to their individual needs, and making sure they were happy, cared for, and calm. If you are looking for a phenomenal person and dog sitter, look no further! I can’t thank you enough, Alyssa!!!”
4. Audrey R.
“Audrey stayed at our house with our 4 cats and our dog Leia through the July 4th holiday for 4 nights. Would definitely use her again! She sent multiple pictures, was great with communication and left the house neat and clean.”
5. Janiellee A.
“Janiellee was absolutely amazing from the initial inquiry to the very last second. I unfortunately had a sitter cancel last minute just 2 days before my trip and was pretty nervous about finding a quality sitter so last minute but luckily I found Janiellee! She was so prompt with her responses and made it very easy to set up a meeting. It’s been awhile since I’ve had a sitter so she helped walk me through all the information she would need to be able to provide the best possible care for my pup and was just the sweetest person. During the stay, she was incredibly communicative and sent lots of pictures and updates so I always felt at ease about how my pup was doing. I had expressed to her that my pup has separation anxiety and the best thing for him is just to have as much company as possible so she brought her work set up to my home to be able to spend as much time as possible with him! I came home to a happy pup and a home that looked like nobody had even been in it! I cannot recommend Janiellee enough for all of your pet care needs!”
6. Emma L.
“Emma was nothing shy of amazing with our two pups and two kitties! She sent us photos and updates daily and followed the regime we laid out for her to a tee, something that was very important to us as we wanted to disrupt our fur babies’ schedule as little as possible. She was punctual, kind, and respectful of our house. Highly, highly recommend booking with Emma! We’ve already rebooked her to house sit for two upcoming work trips ☺️ thank you for exceeding our expectations, Emma!”
7. Jenna T.
“Jenna was amazing! She sent numerous photos/videos and I could see how happy my pup was with her ? I got home and he was safe and well kept. I will definitely be using Jenna again!”
8. Sofia A.
“I am so incredibly thankful that Sofia was available to pet-sit my fur babies (dog and cat) after my original sitter canceled at the last minute. She was quick to respond to my cry for help and came the following day for a meet-and-greet. I immediately felt comfortable based on how relaxed my animals responded to her presence in my home. She checked in frequently while I was away and even ensured I made it home okay! I appreciated the daily photos of my animals and the overwhelming feeling I got seeing my animals through the photos, feeling happy and secure to be with her. My home and animals were found in the same condition as I left them. This was my first Rover experience, and I could not have asked for a more warm, friendly, dependable, and trustworthy person to care for my fur babies. I cannot thank her enough and will be reaching out again!”
9. Alana R.
“Alana is a wonderful caregiver and friend. Alana has taken wonderful care of my sweet kitty, Winston, many of times while I've had to leave my baby to go out of town. It's always so hard to trust that your baby is in good hands, but I know that I don't have to worry if I have Alana watching him. She gives Winston wonderful care, and I know she'd take great care of your furry friend too, I highly recommend!”
10. Carolyn L.
“Carrie is always the absolute best with our dogs!!!!! We rest at ease and have a great vacation knowing she’s there taking great care of them 💕 Highly recommend 💕”
11. Tina W.
“I can’t say enough great things about Tina! She stepped in at the last minute when our regular pet sitter canceled, and I was so close to canceling my trip. From the moment we met her, Tina made us feel at ease, fitting right into the family, and our pups absolutely adored her—they were unusually excited around her! We headed out of the country with total peace of mind, knowing they were in good hands. Throughout the week, Tina went above and beyond. She sent regular updates and photos, showing how much fun our pups were having, and administered their many medications seamlessly. She made sure they got long walks and plenty of playtime in the sunshine every day. When we got home, the pups were totally worn out and happy, barely moving when we walked through the door (which was a surprise!). They even went looking for her in her room this morning! Not only did Tina take amazing care of our dogs, but she also went the extra mile around the house—running the dishwasher, unloading it, and even washing her bedding. She was such a lifesaver, and I wholeheartedly recommend her. We’ll definitely be calling her again!”
12. Olivia H.
“Olivia was amazing with my Great Dane , sent pictures of my baby while she took care of him ! He enjoyed her as well . Thanks Olivia for taking care of my babies !”
13. Yvette G.
“Yvette communicated well, and was a diligent rover for our three cats. She sent pictures and videos of our cats while we were away, and I hope to have her house sit the next time we go away.”
14. Bonnie C.
“Bonnie was incredible! She went above and beyond for Blanche, who I think was genuinely sad to see her go. We plan to book Bonnie any time we need a hand in the future as she’s available.”
15. Hannah W.
“I can't express how thrilled I am with the exceptional care that Hannah provided for my two precious chihuahuas while I was away. One of my biggest concerns was making sure my fur babies felt comfortable and secure in their own home while I was away. Hannah went above and beyond to create a warm and inviting environment for them. The regular updates she sent were a lifeline for me, helping me feel connected to my pets even from miles away. In conclusion, if you're looking for a dog sitter who goes above and beyond, radiates positivity, and genuinely loves what they do, Hannah is the one for you.”
16. Morgan A.
“Morgan was amazing with our dogs. She was warm, friendly, responsible, and caring. She even provided pictures and updates of our fur babies having fun.”
17. Sara B.
“Two thumbs up for Sara! She came over several times prior to us leaving so she could get comfortable with my dogs, she took great care of them and sent me lots of pictures and videos. My house was left perfectly, she got my mail, and watered my grass for me. I will use her again and I would recommend her to others.”
18. Marcus S.
“Marcus did such a wonderful job watching my dog while I was away in vegas. My dog Diamond loved staying with MArcus. He even toke her hiking. Highly recommended and a great pet caretaker .”
19. Adrian C.
“Adrian did a great job taking care of both my dog and cat for a few days while I was away both were given lots of attention and fed properly the dog enjoyed his company and was definitely sad to see him go not to mention the cat didn’t want to leave his side”
20. Isabella K.
“My dogs absolutely loved her! This is the first time I have been able to go on vacation and not stress about my pets at home. Isabella really cares about the pets and keeping them happy. 10/10 would book again.”
