“Lily was such a life saver for a last minute house sitting of my kitty, Bradley. I was heading out of town as he had a urinary blockage. Lily was a good communicator, handled his post-surgery medicine administration, and provided a lot of love and pets. I felt confident my cat was in good hands with her despite the stress of an urgent procedure before an out of town trip. I would definitely book her again.”

“Jenna was amazing with Barkley and Catalina. She spent so much quality time with them, keeping them well entertained and properly spoiled. She provided thorough updates and lots of pictures each day. Additionally, she was very respectful of our house and left it better than we could have asked for. We will definitely be reaching out to Jenna if we need a dog sitter in the future.”
11. Jennine M.
“This was the first time my husband and I used Rover for a dog sitter, so we were a little nervous about leaving our dogs, but Jennine was wonderful. She sent us updates throughout our weekend and was patient with our picky-eater senior dogs who tend to be quite shy. They seemed extremely comfortable and happy. Thank you, Jennine!”

“Woody was SO great we with our buddy Shiner! They sent us constant photos while we were away on an 8 day trip while they watched our home/dog. They were super communicative about everything, and even put all linens in the washer/dryer, and tidied up the whole house before they left. You could just tell they LOVE dogs, and took incredible care of our Shiner while we were gone :)”

Will definitely be coming back to her every time I need a sitter.”
