“You and your family were truly wonderful. Thank you so much for embracing my fur baby and making him feel right at home. The constant reassurance, the beautiful pictures, and the updates meant more to me than you know. I could tell he was being loved and well cared for the entire time. You were also incredibly flexible and attentive, which I truly appreciate. I’m so grateful for the care you gave — we will definitely be back! A++++++++”
“Rolanda was amazing! She sent me frequent updates and her dog was very compatible with mine. She treated my fur baby like it was her own. I definitely will use her again!”
“Iman is so lovely! I am a new dog mom of a 2 yr old husky that I adopted from the South Suburban Humane Society. I was nervous about leaving my dog as it was my first time leaving her with a sitter and I didn’t know how she’d react staying overnight with other dogs. Iman reassured me that everything would be fine and gave me updates. She even gave me samples of dog treats, that my KoKo loved. I’ll definitely use her services again.”
“I could not have found anyone more perfect to watch Corey! I can tell Monica and Daniel treated Corey as their own. I was so happy to see them playing with her and taking her places to run around, even during the cold, snowy days. The daily pictures let me know Corey was in good hands and on her own fun vacation!”
“Laura took great care of my dog Alfie when I was out of town! She suggested an initial meet and greet, which was a fantastic idea since Alfie is very timid around new people/surroundings. While dog-sitting, Laura sent photo/text updates about Alfie and took him to the park (which he loves). He seemed very comfortable under her care. I'd recommend Laura to anyone who is looking for someone caring and reliable to look after their pet(s)!”
“Moppet really enjoyed his time with Bernice and playing with the other dogs his size in Bernice's beautiful back yard. He is looking forward to spending Thanksgiving with her and Cheddar. Bernice sent several pictures of him. Not only did he look happy and playful, but she actually got some really good pictures of him! (When I get out my phone to take pictures of Moppet, he turns his back to me like he doesn't want his picture taken.)”
“Great relief, knowing my dog Barbie was in great hands for two weeks. Latasha would also send updates and pictures which really was really comforting to know Barbie was being well took care of. Would highly recommend Latasha to family and friends.”
“Our doggo had such a good time with Rachel and her family. Her communication was great and we got lots of pictures each day which made for a worry free vacation. We will be rebooking for our next vacation.”
“This family took incredible care of my dog, Atlas! This was my first time using rover and I will definitely use it again. Julie sent pictures of him daily having fun and playing with their other dogs. It was so comforting knowing he wasn't going to be crated all the time. He had a large fenced in yard, other dogs, and a great family to keep him happy. I would highly recommend this family!!! Awesome experience! ”
“This was my first time using Sharon and all went well. She sent photos and videos of Lily and took Lily on frequent walks. She was quick to respond to my texts. I really appreciate Sharon’s responsible and professional nature. And when I picked up Lily at the end of her stay, Sharon gifted her a bag of treats and toys and a thank you note! I will definitely use Sharon again.”
“Anna was great. She took care of my pup for two days and I can tell she had a blast. She sent tons of photos and kept me updated on everything. Took her walks as well which is a huge plus since I can’t take her that often. Will definitely use her services again in the future.”
“Danielle is amazing! She is an excellent communicator, gave us frequent pictures and updates as well as videos. Our dog absolutely loved her and looked happy as can be! She went above and beyond and has a vast amount of canine knowledge. I’m so grateful we found her and we will definitely be using her pet sitting services again and again! Thank you Danielle!”
“Dwight is amazing with my pups. I feel very confident they are happy that they are well taken care of. And they have an added bonus of play time with his two dogs!! Bonanza!”
“I am so glad to have had the pleasure to meet Stefanie. I was in a real bind trying to find a last minute sitter for my dog Shelby. Although I was a bit nervous because my dog usually travels with me, Stefanie assured me that all would be OK. I left feeling totally comfortable and confident that I would be leaving Shelby in good hands. Except for a small hiccup in times, everything was GREAT!! I would definitely recommend and l, will for sure be using her again. Thanks Stefanie!!”
“Megan and her family were absolutely incredible! This was the first time we used anyone outside of family or friends to take care of our belle and we were so lucky to find Megan. Megan and her family truly treated belle as if she was theirs. Megan sent daily updates and photos of how belle was doing and we loved seeing how much fun she was having with Megan’s dog Dottie and how much love and snuggles belle was getting on the daily! It was such a comfort and peace of mind knowing Belle was with Megan and getting the best care. I would highly recommend Megan to anyone especially if their dog loves snuggles! 😊Megan, we can’t thank your enough for taking such amazing care of Belle! 😊”
“April was great! From one sitter to another I appreciated her experience, professionalism and care. My dogs had a great time with her, and I had peace of mind knowing my mischievous beagles were in good hands!”

“Kiana took great care of my 5 cats while I was gone for 10 days. She sent me daily updates and photos of my cats. She took the time to play with them. She followed my feeding and cleaning instructions to the letter. My house looked exactly as it did when I left. I will no longer hesitate to go out of town now that I know I can reach out to Kiana.”
“Our cat loves Coretta! It is clear he just really enjoys his time with her because she takes a lot of time with him. We never worry about leaving our cat since she has started taking care of him, because it is always clear how much she cares about him and because she updates us with so many photos, we always know how well he is doing, which really gives us peace of mind .We really appreciate how communicative she is and how she always explains everything, which is super helpful. And that she takes the time to really meet our cat where he is - we are just so happy that she continues to be able to take care of him when we are away. We really recommend Coretta because she really takes the time to get to know your cat and then once she does, she takes the time to make sure your cat is happy and enjoys their time while you are away. Leaving one's pet is always stressful, but we know she is really there for our cat, which really helps.”
“This was our first time using Rover. My husband and I went on a week-long trip, and we couldn't find anyone to watch our 2 kitties overnight. I was nervous because I usually like to have family watch them, as I know them. After meeting Khalia, I could tell she cared for animals, and it made me feel better. She did a great job with our little chaos gremlins, and they felt safe with her! She left everything nice and clean, respected our home, and gave us updates with pictures. The pics meant a lot! I'm a worried cat momma, so this helped with us being so far away. We'll continue to reach out to her when we need a cat sitter!”
“April was absolutely wonderful with our cat, Mable! We only asked her to stop by once a day, but she went above and beyond every single visit. She spent extra time with Mable, stayed to keep her company, and was so kind and attentive. She even surprised Mable with a few new toys to play with while we were away, which was such an incredibly thoughtful gesture that she absolutely didn’t have to do. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing Mable was not only being cared for but genuinely loved while we were gone. We could tell April truly cares about the pets she watches, and we couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, compassionate, and willing to go the extra mile. We’ll definitely be booking with her again!”
About: I have a lot of experience with cat care over the years and have taken care of felines with many different personalities. I am a pet parent to my own beloved kitty and understand that each cat is unique in their needs!
“Alexa was a perfect sitter for us! She is professional, nice, and kept us updated with messages and pictures. And most importantly, our cat absolutely loved her! We will be using her services again.”
“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐✨ We had a last minute worry about our cat sitting situation so I went on Rover for the first time. We were gone for a few weeks and felt really bad for the cats. We feel so lucky to have found Lisa. She ended up spending more time with our cats than scheduled. She also was able to fix the schedule when we had to make a change. There are other things that helped our peace-of-mind like turning the porch light off each day and bringing the mail in so our home didn't look vacant. She cleaned up before leaving. She left detailed notes and sent cute photos daily of cuddling and playing with our cats :) We will definitely reach out to Lisa for our cat sitting in the future.”
“David helped me with a last-minute request for a drop-in visit. He's watched Sam multiple times, and that was comforting. Plus, David made the trip on a day when we were getting hit by a snowstorm. I'm grateful for his help and care with Sam.”

“Marissa was great! She arrived on time to meet my little pups before I went out of town, and also arrived on time the day I scheduled for her to come let them out. She played with them, took them for a walk, fed them, and changed out a potty pad.”
“Lauren was amazing! I felt so comfortable having her in my home. She gave me peace of mind that my cat was not alone and well taken care of while I was out of town working. Would recommend and use her again.”
“Erica has babysat our cat Domino in our home several times now. Domino is a cat that we took several months to rescue earlier this year. Consequently, she is shy and a bit skittish around new people. She bonded with Erica almost immediately! Erica has two cats of her own, so she knows a lot about them and their finicky nature. Erica has a warm and caring nature that comes across in the way that she communicates with Domino. She calls Domino her niece! Erica is fastidious with Domino’s litter box and feeds her twice daily. She sends us regular posts and updates regarding Domino’s antics. Erica spends time with Domino and plays with her. We miss Domino when we are gone, but never worry that she will be too lonely without us. We feel secure when we are away. We trust Erica with having the keys to our home. We have the utmost confidence that Erica will take great care of our fur baby.”
“Emalee did everything as instructed. I only wish she mentioned the smell of uneaten food rotting in the kitchen trash can, so it could have been properly disposed of outside.”
“Lily house/pet sat my cat, Connor, while we were away for the weekend. He takes daily oral meds for his allergies; he pulls his hair out without it. We returned to the house just as neat as we left it and she was successful in giving his meds (which he can make difficult at times), evidenced in the fact all his hair was intact. He also must have enjoyed her company because he wasn’t as clingy as he usually is when we return from trips. Definitely will use her again in the future!”

“Joy was absolutely wonderful with my dog! She provided a safe, fun, and caring environment, and it was clear how much she truly loves animals. My pup came home happy and relaxed. This was my first time using Rover and Joy. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and loving dog sitter! 🐾”

“Ruben was nothing short of awesome! I was running late to drop my dog and extraordinarily late to pick her up and he was accommodating. Ruben has great communication and shared pics throughout the day. I highly recommend and will definitely use his services again.”
“Danielle did an amazing job! It was our first time using Rover and leaving our dog somewhere and she made the process as smooth as could be. She walked us through her house , how she handles the dog , and was so patient with us and answered all our questions. Oscar had a blast and can't wait to book her again!”

About: I have had various experience taking care of family pets for 15+ years - both dogs and cats. I have knowledge of bathing, feeding, walking, and playing with pets, making them happy and entertained while keeping them safe. I am currently working part-time, but will dedicate my free time and attention to your furbabies in any setting! My schedule is pretty flexible and I would love to take care of your pets! I will make sure to treat your home with absolute respect and care, and treat your pets as if they were my own. I do not consent to being filmed inside of your home on security cameras. I do not mind if you have a Furbo to check in on your pet if I am not there.
About: I’m fortunate to have experience with a wide variety of animals thanks to my cousins, who have two cats, three dogs, a turtle, and a horse. I help care for their pets regularly, so I’m comfortable meeting the unique needs of animals of all kinds and treating each one like family. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I’m currently finishing up breast cancer treatment and have intentionally chosen pet sitting as my primary work. This gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care. I truly enjoy spending time with animals, and being able to provide reliable, loving care while I’m in this season of life has been incredibly rewarding. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I prioritize keeping their routine as consistent as possible. At my home, pets have access to a securely fenced backyard for supervised play, exercise, and potty breaks, along with plenty of attention, affection, and a comfortable place to relax. In a client’s home, I follow their pet’s established schedule for feeding, walks, playtime, medications (if needed), and any other care instructions. My goal is always to help pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away.
“Gillian communicates well and answers my messages in a timely fashion. She is on time for her visits. My pup Ransom is usually hesitant the first few times around a new sitter, but warmed to Gillian and went on a walk with her no problem. Thank you.”

About: I was always had furry siblings but have graduated to a cat mama. I enjoy creating personal heavens for our companions. Reliable, punctual and kind.

“I am so glad to have had the pleasure to meet Stefanie. I was in a real bind trying to find a last minute sitter for my dog Shelby.

I left feeling totally comfortable and confident that I would be leaving Shelby in good hands. Except for a small hiccup in times, everything was GREAT!! I would definitely recommend and l, will for sure be using her again. Thanks Stefanie!!”
“Megan and her family were absolutely incredible! This was the first time we used anyone outside of family or friends to take care of our belle and we were so lucky to find Megan. Megan and her family truly treated belle as if she was theirs. Megan sent daily updates and photos of how belle was doing and we loved seeing how much fun she was having with Megan’s dog Dottie and how much love and snuggles belle was getting on the daily! It was such a comfort and peace of mind knowing Belle was with Megan and getting the best care. I would highly recommend Megan to anyone especially if their dog loves snuggles! 😊Megan, we can’t thank your enough for taking such amazing care of Belle! 😊”
“April was great! From one sitter to another I appreciated her experience, professionalism and care. My dogs had a great time with her, and I had peace of mind knowing my mischievous beagles were in good hands!”
“Michelle and Christy are phenomenal!! They watched my energetic golden retriever for 11 days over the holidays. Having met them a few weeks prior to the extended Rover visit, it was clear that they are really great people, whose positive qualities directly translated into the great amount of care they provided for Mr. Chips during his stay. The amount of updates and open communication they were willing to provide throughout the stay also made a world of difference. Seeing chips having tons of fun totally removed any sense of the worry I would have had leaving him for the 11 days. To top it off, they have a huge fenced in back yard, perfect for doggies to run and play in - and 2 cute dogs for Mr. Chips to play with. 10 out of 10.”
“They were amazing and great with our dog. She’s 100lbs plus and from photos, she made herself at home with the everyone and enjoyed herself! We will be booking with them again for anything we need to do with our dog.”
“Heather and Israel were great - always responsive, let us know how things were going and our pup was adapting while we were gone for the weekend. Our flight was cancelled and they were so kind to watch our pup an extra night and be flexible with the pickup time. Our pup had so much fun and we will definitely use them again!”
“I'm always anxious about leaving my little shadow dog, Jezebel ? in anyone else's care while I'm far away on vacation. But Cary B. and her awesome family took good care of her for me. I'm already making plans for next year's vacation,and will definitely be booking again with Cary B.”
“Bridget was amazing with our dog, Miller. Miller has separation anxiety and can be a hit or miss with sitters, but he warmed up to Bridget and her family right away. Great communication and felt extremely comfortable. Would highly recommend to let your dog stay with her family and pup of her own who is both adorable and friendly.”
“Suzy was absolutely amazing with Kiba! I had regular updates from her about how she was socializing, eating, eating, and taking care of business. :) I’ll absolutely be contacting Suzy again next time I’m in need of boarding!! 5 stars!”
“Had another wonderful experience with Ken and his family! The daily pictures and videos help you feel connected. The love and care that Roo received was outstanding! I wish we could give them 100 stars!”
“Kimberley was an awesome sitter for our pups. She shows that she truly cares and treated our dogs like her own. Would certainly recommend her to a friend, and hope to book her in the future!”
“Elizabeth was a wonderful sitter for my two "peanuts" as she called them :) I got daily updates and pictures. The dogs came back super relaxed and happy. I can tell they had a great time with the kiddos.”
“We don’t board our dogs or have them watched outside of our home very often. When we do need help, it’s usually a family member or close friend staying at our house. Because of that, we were a little nervous about having them stay somewhere else, but Emily was absolutely wonderful! She was incredibly patient, loving, and kind with both of our dogs—especially our Labrador, who has become quite the homebody in his older years and needed a little extra time to adjust to being away from home. Emily handled it with so much patience and care, and we could tell she genuinely wanted him to feel comfortable and secure. When we picked them up, they were excited to see us but were clearly happy, comfortable, and well looked after. It’s obvious that Emily genuinely cares about the animals she watches and treats them like her own. We would absolutely recommend Emily to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter, and we would not hesitate to book with her again in the future. Thank you again, Emily, for taking such great care of our pups!”
