Paola was our first pet sitter since we moved to MD almost two years ago and our first time using the Rover App so we were a bit nervous but Paola came a few days before our trip to meet us and our pets and really put our mind at ease. Paola is so kind and gentle … our puppies soon warmed up to her and Paola took really good care of our pets and provided lots of pictures and communication during her stay. We will definitely ask Paola to pet sit for us again in the future! She is truly a “gem”!!!

Dee was amazing. I was super nervous leaving my senior dog and two cats for a full week, especially since this was our first time working together, but Dee totally delivered. JP, my dog, was smiling in every single photo, and it was clear he felt safe, cozy, and loved. Even my weirdo, suspicious cats warmed up to her, which honestly says a lot, lol. Dee just has that intuitive energy that animals naturally gravitate toward. She followed my care instructions, kept in touch, and made sure everyone was well fed, loved on, and relaxed. I came home to happy, healthy pets, and that’s really all I could ask for. She gives off the vibe of a passionate, animal loving 20-something who genuinely enjoys what she does. While she’s not buttoned up in that overly corporate way (which, let’s be real, is exactly why I use Rover—to support real people who actually spend time and energy on your pets), the level of care she provides is next level. You’re just not going to get that kind of attentiveness at one of those doggy daycare boxes. Dee is very sweet, incredibly responsible, super responsive, and truly locked in with your pets. I’ll absolutely be booking her again.

Steven took such amazing care of my difficult senior Labrador. Steven had such patience and compassion during his first Sitting and my dog warmed up quicker than ever. He buttered him up with some mini cheeseburgers and even scratched my senior’s ears till he calmly fell asleep. I am forever grateful for Steven’s level of care and understanding to our fur babies.

Coralie is one of the best dog sitters I’ve had the pleasure of working with! She cared for my two dogs so well and communicated with me every step of the way. We had the opportunity to speak before her sitting and she was so organized in providing a written schedule of when she would arrive and how long she’d stay based on the needs of my dogs. She took loads of pics and videos which made me feel at ease since we didn’t have the chance to actually meet prior to. I’ll happily be booking with Coralie again - and soon!

Rachel was a truly stellar house sitter/cat-watcher. My spouse and I spent nearly three weeks out of the country and hired Rachel to tend to our needy cat and house while we were away. She put us completely at ease, took wonderful care of our often-whiny kitty, and left our house in perfect condition. We received updates as often as we wanted and it was clear from the photos we received that Rachel has a wonderful touch with animals and was well-loved by our cat. We would hire her again in an instant; her services were well worth the cost.

Zack was great! I needed a house sitter for my two muppets on somewhat short notice, and he was a very patient, generous, and attentive sitter for my senior dog and my more anxious dog. He was a great caretaker for the house too, and brought in my packages for the days I was out of town.
