This was the second time Cj‘s watched our doggo in our apartment while we were on vacation. Both times were perfect and we already booked Cj for another upcoming trip. He took great care of our German Shepherd/Husky mix and from the frequent updates we could tell that our doggo had a great time. Cj even coordinated perfectly when the apartment complex scheduled an unexpected maintenance visit.

Kavya is the best! This is our second time having her house sit for our dog and we will be asking her to stay and watch Barney again in the future whenever we are traveling. We highly recommend Kavya.

Lucia used to be my roommate and was great with my cat, Bruce. She would also catsit him for me whenever I was out of town (sometimes for a couple of weeks at a time). Bruce always felt very comfortable around her, even preferring to hang with her over me sometimes :( She's also extremely responsive and made sure to keep me updated on what he'd been up to every day. I would 100% recommend her to anyone else looking for a pet sitter.

Stephen did a wonderful job taking care of our Labrador Retriever, Sophie. He took her for walks several times a day, did some training with her, and gave her plenty of love and attention. Stephen also sent us regular updates, including photos, videos, and text messages while we were away. We highly recommend Stephen to care for your beloved pet. Tim & Sandy

I've known Melissa my whole life and I can say with absolute confidence that she can and will be a great pet caregiver. She's had experience with both dogs and cats and she's always done a great job. For 10+ years we would take care of a family friend's dog, Figo, when they went on vacation and Melissa always made sure to follow the routines they gave her. He was shown so much love and care that we were basically his second family, and a big part of that was Melissa's hard work in caring for him. I 100% recommend Melissa and know she will show as much care to any pet as she did to Figo.

We had Alexis housesit and pet sit for our two cats and dog. We were pleased with her interaction with our dog, taking him for walks and sending pictures. She was spot on on her assessment of our female cat, noting that she ruled the house. The biggest surprise was that she was able to get our very feral kitty inside. Quite the feat. When we arrived home, the house was as we left it. She kept everything nice and tidy. It is nice to now have a person we can count on for our future travels!

Kimberly was incredibly responsible and communicative. Emmy (my siamese mutt) is an excellent judge of character and when I arrived home she was in excellent spirits, having obviously received a tremendous amount of attention and love. I will absolutely be working with Kimberly again, and I would encourage you to do the same -- she's terrific!

Vivienne is my #1 go-to for dog sitting. She is reliable and intuitive with my dog, who is very afraid of people. She was able to get my dog to warm up to her really quickly, and is now one of her trusted humans. She has excellent attention to detail and is super helpful overall. Really grateful to have her!

We booked John for a second time and he was excellent as expected. Regular and timely updates, and lots of videos for our young boys who were missing our furry child on our planned vacation. Murphy was super relaxed and calm with John. John is super reliable and makes us feel comfortable while we are miles away our child.

Ally is amazing! This was my first time using Rover and leaving my dogs with someone other than family and instead of feeling nervous or worried I was very relieved to get all the great dog walk and cuddling pics and I appreciated all the consistent communication! I would trust Ally in my home and with my dogs again and look forward to her dog sitting again!!
