“Javay is great! Super flexible and is incredibly attuned to dog needs/emotions. She offered multiple meet and greets and made sure to know the dog before sitting. Great stuff”

“So excited we came across Lauren's profile! She did an excellent caring for our two pups, one is a senior and completely blind so Lauren spent extra time caring for her special needs. Lauren was also very communicative and left the house well organized, she also did a great job letting us know what her days looked like as far as her scheduling to be hanging with the pups. We've already booked a 2nd house sit with her! Thanks again for being so detailed in your communication!”

“Olivia was a great sitter for my pup. She was organized, timely and sweet. She came to my house and left everything tidy and my pup was always in good spirits. She sent pictures throughout the day and gave many updates. Thanks Olivia!”

“Jose was a fantastic in-house sitter for my Labrador Retriever, she took to him immediately and he was a great communicator, sending plenty of updates and pics. He left my house neat as a pin, I will definitely utilize his services again!”

“This was my first time using Rover and I feel like we made a great choice hiring Dan! Dan made our first experience better by happily offering to meet the pups in advance to make sure the pet sitting weekend went smoothly. His calm energy was really reassuring, especially because one of our dogs is a bit anxious. When we got home our dogs were happy and the house was tidy. We will definitely use him again for any pet sitting needs in the future.”

“Michelle was so wonderful with our doggo Xander. We really appreciated her daily updates and photos. Without knowing our walking routes, she even took him to our favorite neighborhood coffee shop for a pup cup. :) House was in great condition and our boy was happy. We would definitely hire Michelle again. Thank you!”

“Anthony was superb and we will definitely be using him again. He sent so many photos and videos, including a lot with our girls just laying all over him. It was nice knowing how comfortable they felt with him. He left the house in the same condition he found it and the thank you card for trusting him with our pups was the cherry on the top.”

“Scar was an amazing sitter!!! He was great with my girl chloe, providing many updates when it came to not only feeding and things but just generally how she was doing. My girl is older and requires more care when it comes to feedings and such and he did a great job working with that. Would absolutely recommend him to anyone. He especially is very respectful when it comes to feeling out the cats personality which was great to see.”

“Devan was absolutely fantastic! He took excellent care of my dog and my house, and sent regular pictures and updates. And he's simply a very great guy. I highly recommend and will definitely book again in the future.”

“Bryan is exceptional from start to finish. He took amazing care of our dog, kept us consistently updated, and went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. It’s clear he truly cares, and we came home to a happy, well-loved pup who absolutely adores him. Highly recommend!”

“Jasmin was an absolute dream from start to finish! She was extremely prompt, communicative, and professional. She absolutely spoiled our two dogs and kept me updated with photos and videos. She made leaving our dogs while we were out of town so stress free and easy.”

“Abbigail and Cody were so great with my animals. I’m so happy to have found them on here. My dog has quite a personality and absolutely adores them. Will be booking again because I feel confident he will be happy and safe when they are around. Really great people.”

“I needed last minute help with my pup this Memorial Day weekend and was so lucky that Francesca was available. She took great care of Tommy, took him on walks, and gave him lots of play time and cuddles. I am pretty sure he has missed her because he has looked sad since she left. It was the first time I used Rover, so I was a little nervous, and Francesca responded any time I checked in. She left the house in great condition. I highly recommend her!”
“We couldn’t be more grateful for the amazing care Linda provided for our two dogs while we were on vacation. One of our pups is a senior and the other has a heart condition that requires medication with every meal, so leaving them in someone else’s care is never easy. From the start, Linda was incredibly communicative—sending us regular updates, photos, and quick check-ins that immediately put us at ease. What stood out most was how she took the time to truly understand each of our dogs’ personalities and managed their needs flawlessly. It was clear she wasn’t just “watching” them, she was caring for them. She handled the medication schedule perfectly and gave both dogs so much love and attention that we could truly relax knowing they were in the best hands. We came home to two very happy, well-cared-for dogs. We highly recommend Linda to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and attentive pet sitter. We will absolutely be booking with her again!”


“Jen was a fantastic sitter for our pup, Maddie! She was very communicative sending regular photo updates during her stay, and kept everything shipshape around the house. If you’re seeking a reliable sitter look no further!”

“We reached out to Gabriella really last minute over the holiday weekend after our plans for house sitting fell through for the week and luckily for us, she accepted. We had the best experience with her and her partner taking care of our home and two pets. She was very communicative and gave us daily updates and photos and had no issues following the admittedly complicated feeding instructions our pets require. Upon return home, our pets were both clearly happy and relaxed and our place was spotless. I can’t recommend Gabriella enough.”

“Valerie was wonderful with my golden retriever, she provided updates and kept him busy while I enjoyed my vacation! I definitely recommend her and will use her again in the future!”

“I can’t say enough wonderful things about Tabitha! Our Lab was cared for and loved. We didn’t need to worry about her. We got pics several times a day and messages. We would love to have her back anytime!”

I can’t thank Anna enough for taking such incredible care of my dog. While I was away, Wanda got into a bag of chocolate, and Anna acted immediately, rushing Wanda to the emergency vet and keeping me updated every step of the way. Anna’s quick thinking truly saved Wanda’s life. Knowing Wanda was in such caring and capable hands gave me so much peace of mind. I’ll always be grateful for Anna’s compassion, and genuine love for animals. Wanda and I are incredibly lucky to have found Anna!

Andrea did an amazing job house-sitting Coco and Louie while we were away! From the start, she was communicative, reliable, and clearly cared about making sure both pets were happy and comfortable. She also kept us updated with messages and photos throughout our trip. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter, and would happily book with her again in the future.
AMAZING!!! This was my first Rover experience and I couldn't have been happier. Nancy stayed at our home with our Golden Daisy for a long weekend and was the best companion. Nancy sent pictures every day, went on walks and lots of snuggles. (Not to mention our house looked better than we left it). Can't recommend Nancy enough and she will definitely be watching Daisy again in the future!

Olivia was a lifesaver. She was able to keep our senior doggo company while we were away. He took to her after only one night and she kept us up to date with check ins and lots of photos. Very communicative and asked lots of questions to make sure Findlai had everything he needed. Worth her weight in gold.

Nate was amazing! He helped us out on very short notice, and we are so grateful we found him. He took excellent care of Stella, kept us updated throughout the stay, and sent lots of cute photos, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. He was incredibly kind, reliable, and attentive, and it was clear that he genuinely cared about Stella. She seemed very comfortable with him and definitely enjoyed spending time with him. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and will absolutely be booking with Nate again in the future. Highly recommend!

They took care of my 3 large dogs (60, 80 and 95 pounds) for 2 weeks and were fantastic! It rained almost every day, but even when they couldn’t go for walks, they made sure the dogs got outside time and exercise by throwing balls for them on the back patio. They sent lots of gorgeous photos and I could tell that even my high-anxiety dog was completely comfortable and trusting with them when I saw the photo of her laying on her back getting belly rubs. They are such kind, friendly, and reliable people. I would definitely use them again and recommend them to anyone.

Javay was amazing with Marley. Marley can be a bit high maintenance but she took such great care of her. She made sure she was with her at all times. Marley was so excited to see her. She’s on time, super reliable and genuinely a good person. Highly recommend booking with Javay.

This was the first time I’ve had anyone house sit and care for my cat and senior dog. Scar did an incredible job. They followed instructions perfectly, provided detailed updates that reassured me that my pets were well taken care of and being their usual happy selves, and they took great care of my home. I have zero complaints or concerns, and I will 100% be looking to hire them again in the future!
