1. Sara G.

“Sara was fantastic! Her communication was spot-on and kept us perfectly updated on Frisbee. We’re at the tail end of a kitchen remodel, and she was incredibly accommodating despite the less-than-ideal circumstances. We’ll absolutely be using her again.”


2. Lilah H.

“Lilah was wonderful with Harry. She is a kind, intelligent and loving person, we were so lucky to connect with her.”


3. Cassandra S.

“Cassie was very communicative and sent lots of photos during her time with my pup Stanley. She was knowledgeable about dog safety, temperament and training, and asked great questions during our meet & greet. Stanely had a great time chilling and cuddling with Cassie.”




4. Jaclyn R.


“Jaclyn was amazing with our fur babies. This was our 1st time using someone other than immediate family when caring for our fur babies while out of town. Her communication made me feel at ease during this process. I would definitely recommend her.”


5. Chantal H.

“Chantal is wonderful!! I had an issue with my other sitter while on vacation and decided to find someone else since they did not make me feel at ease. Chantal responded immediately and was able to come over on extremely short notice! She sent many updates, photos, and videos. You can tell that Chantal is an animal lover. My dogs enjoyed their time with her and I am happy to have a trustworthy house sitter for when I am out of town!”


6. Jason R.

“Third time booking with Jason and we’re consistently blown away by his professionalism and communication every single time we work with him. Our pets adore him, he leaves our home cleaner than he found it, and he just exudes a sense of calm. We absolutely love Jason!”


7. Aaron B.

“Aaron was an absolute life saver for my boxer mutt and bengal when another sitter cancelled last minute! My pup can be reactive on walks and is very strong, so I was worried about leaving him with someone I hadn’t met. Aaron sent me pictures multiple times a day with frequent reports though, and it was very clear that both boys warmed up to him immediately! I appreciated that he took time to play with the cat as well and made sure he got exercise too. Thanks to Aaron I came home to a clean house (with washed sheets and a remade guest bed) and happy, well-cared for boys. I can’t recommend him highly enough!”


8. Kimberly J.

“Kim was an amazing house sitter. She was very communicative, took great care of the pets, and left my house squeaky clean. I could tell from the photos she sent that my pups were very comfortable and relaxed with her. 12/10!”


9. Penny C.


“Penny was wonderful! She was so sweet with our pups and they absolutely loved her. She sent us updates and photos so we could feel at ease while we were away. We will definitely be using her again in the future. ❤️”




10. Tanya H.

“Superb service once again. Our mental health weekend getaways have been stress-free knowing our fur baby and our home will be well looked after in our absence. Thank you Tanya for taking such good care of Boomer (who says “hi and see you next time”).”


11. Daniela T.

“Daniela was great with our puppy and our senior dog as well as multiple cats and birds when she house sat for us. We got lots of pictures and updates and could see the progress she was making in teaching the puppy to heel on walks. She went above and beyond to keep things organized and clean, which is not easy in our chaotic household. She even got our most timid cat to come out of hiding for treats. We’ll be booking Daniela for our next trip if at all possible.”


12. Emily F.

“Emily was great with our two pups. They’re usually uneasy around new people, but she took the time to earn their trust and made them feel comfortable. She arrived on time for every visit, communicated clearly, and sent thoughtful updates with photos that really put us at ease. As first-time Rover users, we were a little nervous, but Emily made the whole experience feel easy and reassuring. We came home to two happy, relaxed dogs — we look forward to booking with her again!”


13. Yoo Jee K.

“Yoo Jee is the best! She took excellent care of our pets and home! One of our bathrooms flooded unfortunately while we were gone and she took care of everything. We will definitely hire her again.”


14. Shaina W.
“Shaina is fantastic with pets, she has cat sitter for me numerous times. I also know she has had 2 huskies she cared for in the past. She is amazing - nurturing and absolutely loves animals of all kinds.”


15. Janelle D.

“Janelle was fantastic! Took such wonderful care of our dogs and we came back to calm, happy and exercised dogs. We will definitely be having Janelle again!”


16. Katherine M.

“Katherine was great! Our pups haven’t had many sitters but they did well and Katherine was patient with our shy old man. We’re so glad we didn’t have to stress about them and also be in a wedding. Thank you again!”


17. Dylan H.

“Dylan was amazing - I don't want to leave to good a review because I want him available in the future :-). Great with our dog and did extra training House was left in perfect condition Super communicator and provided lots of videos etc for the kids My favorite quality might be his super positive disposition.”


18. Silvi M.
“I am a pet owner. I have a Labrador breed. Silvi is the best person to trust my dog. She is very professional, caring and supportive. Highly recommend her.”


19. Ashley P.
“I can’t recommend Ash enough! She was so friendly and professional from the start. My dog Sombra can be a little shy, but Ash was so patient and gentle — they warmed up right away. Every walk was on time, and I always got updates and cute photos that showed how much fun my pup was having. It gave me real peace of mind knowing my dog was in good hands. You can tell Ash truly loves animals and treats them like their own. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy and caring, this is the one person!”


20. Puja N.
“Puja was lovely!!! My dog, Jules might actually like her more than me at this point. Reliable, communicative, and endlessly patient. She went above and beyond to make sure my diva old lady pup was happy, safe, and thoroughly spoiled (in the best way). Puja sent great updates with pictures that somehow captured Jules' exact personality, and I genuinely felt like she was on a mini-vacation of her own. Highly recommend booking if you want peace of mind and a pet who might start pretending not to know you when their sitter walks in.”
