“This was my first time using Rover and Neal made it a great experience! Neal took great care of my dog Titus while I was on a trip and I couldn’t be more thankful. I was gone for 2 weeks and he sent me multiple pictures and updates throughout the trip! He made sure to take Titus for walks and that he got his medicine every morning and he looked happy in every picture Neal sent and I couldn’t ask for more. I would 100% use Neal for every trip I take in the future.”

“Ryan was a great house sitter for our dog during Christmas week. He was professional, friendly, and communicative. We appreciated that he shared updates and pics every day. Would definitely recommend, and will book again!”

“Tammy was a fantastic sitter for my cat Solana! She was so kind and asked all detailed questions about my cat’s medication and food schedule. I loved all the picture updates she gave of how my cat was doing while I was out of town. Thank you Tammy!”

“Emily was great to work with and really helped us out on short notice a couple of times. She was flexible, easy to coordinate with, and clearly understood what our dog needed. We felt very comfortable leaving him in her care and have already booked her again. Thank you, Emily!”

“Liam was incredible! We really appreciated his help and communication — not to mention our house was spotless when we got home! Will absolutely be using Liam again!”

“This was the first time I've used the site so I was understandably nervous, however Jose met with me the day before my trip to get acquainted with my apartment and my pups. He took notes as he asked about my preferences for their care. Throughout the stay he sent me updates with pictures on my dogs and responded quickly whenever I reached out to him. He is very professional, personable and friendly, and my dogs bonded with him immediately. Highly recommend.”

“Chris was so great! He stayed in our home and was great at communicating throughout the time we were away. We are watching an older family dog and he was great with her! You can tell he has a passion for pets and his presence makes anyone feel comfortable. 100% recommend.”

“We’ve used Gail for watching our Rue in our home, she is professional, punctual and I’m always happy she is able to help us!! I will continue to request her services!!”

“Mikayla took care of my house and cats for 2 weeks while I was out of the country on vacation. Knowing I am an anxious cat mom, she sent daily updates and pics and kept me up to speed with the local happenings, both cat and non-cat related. I returned yesterday and my cats showed no signs of having missed me, which means she did an excellent job! Great communicator and too great care of my house and cats....would definitely hire again.”


“Luisa was amazing! This was my first time leaving my puppy, and she did a great job providing updates, playing with my puppy, maintaining his schedule & came over before for a meet and greet. Super wonderful to work with.”

“Duncan was a professional and responsible caretaker. He went above and beyond our expectations when he took care of our 2 dogs Honey and Pickles for two weeks. Before even starting the job, he met us in a freezing blizzard for a simple meet + greet, which I think immediately showed his dedication to the job. He also cleaned up around our house when the dogs were making a mess, not something that we asked him to do — but rather something that he proactively did. One of our dogs, Honey, has anxiety. Duncan even stood overnight on New Years Eve just to help her stay calm during the fireworks, which I believe is something your average dog caretaker wouldn’t do! He was also very responsive with text and sent us updates every day. I felt much peace of mind because I knew Duncan was taking our two dogs on 2 walks every day, feeding them on time, and spending some time with them too. I would definitely recommend Duncan to a friend and would rebook him myself!”

“My house was left as clean as I left it! My babies were obviously well cared for, and Andre was so kind when I wanted to check in. I wish all of my care experiences were this good. One of my babies had to take a pill, and is highly suspicious, and he got her anti-inflammatory in her!”

“Jamie has a magic touch! Took great care of my anxious cat, whose normally quite shy around new people. I came home to a very cheerful kitty, and would highly recommend him for your fur baby.”

“Jasmin was great! I get very anxious when I leave my cat Velvet to go out of town - Jasmin sent me updates and photos and followed instructions perfectly. She was very thorough and caring when it came to information about Velvet’s care, the apartment, etc. Thanks Jasmin!”

Uptown pet parents share their Rover experiences
Bianca took fantastic care of our dog, Chef. We received plenty of updates and photos throughout the stay, which gave us a lot of peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands. The best part was coming home to a relaxed, happy dog who was clearly well cared for and comfortable the entire time. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a dog sitter.

Wow!!! Eavan was incredible! One of the best dog sitters I’ve had by far. Not only did they take excellent care of my pitbull-mix (who is reactive and a bit of a puller on walks), they also took amazing care of my apartment while I was gone. I came back to the place looking even better than I left it, with my dog super calm and contented, which is the best after a long trip. I will definitely be rebooking for my next trip. Highly recommend Eavan!

Vanessa was beyond exceptional from start to finish—from communciation, to her care for my pup. She was super understanding of canela's natural shyness and temperament, which made me feel really comfortable stepping away while she was in her care. Would look to work with her every time! Thanks so much Vanessa!

Megan (Gem) was an absolute delight to have with my two babes while I was on vacation. My one girl is very weary of people and Megan had such patience and before you knew it, she was very open to her. She updated me often with many pictures about how they all were doing. Always offered to help with anything that was needed at the place including grabbing packages. She now helps a neighbor and when we ran into her, they were very pleased to see her. Just more proof she became close with them. Rebooked once and will definitely again! A true Gem!

I cannot say enough good things about Claire. We have a reactive dog with medical needs, and Claire was absolutely amazing for her. Not only did she pay attention to our pup’s medicine schedule and reactivity training, but Claire also clearly loved our girl as her own. I cannot possibly explain how grateful we are for Claire’s care!!!!!

Olivia is awesome! She was prompt, a great communicator who often sent pics, and most importantly my dogs loved spending time with her. We highly recommend Olivia to anyone looking for a safe and reliable caregiver for your fur babies. Thanks so much Olivia —Toby and Bowie can’t wait til you come again :)

Andre was an excellent dog sitter for my dog, Colby. From the beginning, he had great communication during the handoff of Colby’s care and kept me updated daily while I was away. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing Colby was being so well cared for. When I returned home, Colby was happy, relaxed, and clearly well looked after. Andre also left my house spotless and exactly as I had left it. I truly appreciate finding someone as reliable and caring as Andre, and I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy dog sitter.
