“Mark was incredible…he did overnight stays with our 11 year old blind, deaf pup without any hesitation. He is a great communicator and left the house in perfect condition. As this was a new arrangement, he asked questions to make sure something wasn’t out of the ordinary for our extraordinary pup, which I appreciate as he has truly had only 1 sitter in nearly 11 years! I cannot recommend him enough and we are actively booking out the rest of the year with him!”

“Jenna is amazing! She took such great care of our 3 dogs and even taught them new tricks! She is extremely communicative and sent us photos and videos often. She left our house spotless and even watered my plants for me. She is now our go to person!”

“Marissa was kind, communicative, calm, and flexible. My flight home got cancelled and I had to rebook my return trip a day later. Marissa immediately agreed to extend her services when I told her what was going on. When I (finally) made it home, Peaty was happy and well-cared for and my apartment was pristine. Would work with Marissa again in a heartbeat!”

“Rosemary is an absolute delight and such a professional! Left our house as she found it (if not cleaner) did a few extra house things and most importantly kept my babies safe, fed and super happy! Loved all the pictures and updates.”

“This was the first time leaving Gracie for several days. Mel did such a great job keeping her anxiety level low. We felt keeping Gracie in her own home environment would be the best. Mel did such a wonderful job taking care of Gracie. We will definitely use Mel the next time! I would highly recommend her!”

“Alex did a great job with our 2 pups. He took detailed notes at our meet and greet and followed their feeding and walking schedules carefully. Great communication and pics so we knew they were receiving good care. We’ve already booked Alex for our next time away”


“Emily was great! This was my first experience with Rover and I couldn’t have picked a better person. She was great with my puppy Lola and kept me updated during my whole work trip. She was trustworthy and really just made the whole experience so easy. My Lola was so happy when I got home and looked very well taken care of. Thank you Emily!”
“Jazmine did a wonderful job taking care of my cat while I was away for a week. It’s a long time for me to be away, but I had total peace of mind knowing that Jazmine was spending time with my cat and looking after the house! She sent great updates, was very responsive, was flexible when I requested her to do another drop in after some travel delays, and I came home to a tidy apartment! Your pets and home are in great hands with Jazmine!”

“Over the moon with Ellie! She took great care of our two boys whilst we were gone easing so much anxiety. Ellie is responsive, professional, cared so well for the doggies, and went above and beyond!”

“Nora was a fantastic pet sitter for my dog. She was very considerate and attentive to learning all the details about my dog. I would gladly have her back again and felt so comfortable with her staying at my home.”

“Dawn was great with our 2 rambunctious doodles. She sent pics and updates regularly. Took them for numerous walks including a 5 mile walk at Pocahontas State Park! She also took great care of our house. We would definitely use her again!”

“Christine was so fantastic taking care of our babies! She was very responsive and cared so deeply about them, some of which are special needs or elderly and require medications, and she took great care to make sure each of their needs were met. She treated them like they were her own. She was respectful of our home and we would highly recommend her!”

“Kaleigh helped me out with dog walks when I had to cancel my booked housesitting trip last minute due to injury! My dog loves her. Great communication. Will book again.”

“Joe was amazing with our dogs! Every day I had updates with photos and videos and overall messages about their day and how they were doing. He was so attentive with them. In the past I have always worried every day I was gone from them and could never enjoy myself on vacation and I did not feel that way when he was watching my babies. I couldn’t recommend him enough and will definitely make him a number one choice when we need a sitter again! Thanks Joe!”

“Jacob performed a stand up service taking care of our four animals and our house while we were out of the country. He was always available to communicate updates, left our house looking very clean, and even worked with us last minute to add more time after we made a scheduling error. We would definitely recommend his services and will likely rebook should we need pet sitting again in the future.”

DJ was absolutely wonderful! In the face of some extenuating circumstances he took great care of our pup. We’ll definitely be keeping him in mind for any future sittings as he was prompt with replies and sent so many updates allowing us to enjoy our vacation with very little worry!

We could not have asked for a better house-sitting experience than with Ellie. Her communication was top-notch before, during, and after her stay which gave us peace of mind when leaving our senior kitty with health issues and our dog, who gets nervous whenever we're gone overnight. Lots of pictures and updates. She also did a wonderful job keeping our house in order, which is much appreciated when coming home after several days away. If we need pet sitting again, Ellie will definitely be at the top of the list. We highly recommend her!

I had my catsitting plans fall through the day before my trip(!) and contacted Angela here on Rover. Angela was able to come visit my apartment and meet the cats day-of. As soon as I met her I knew my two cats were in great hands. She sent me lots of photos and updates while I was gone, followed my care instructions perfectly, and left my apartment cleaner than she found it. I highly recommend Angela's housesitting services and would be glad to have her watch my cats in the future.
