Kathleen is AMAZING! Not only was she super thorough about getting to know our dogs and home, but she was also so kind and thoughtful during her stay. She sent us updates and pictures, and even cleaned up and washed the guest room items and towels before we arrived home! Her kindness and generosity of spirit make her one of a kind!

Our family was away for 10 days and Jess took fantastic care of our dog Penny. Penny is a bit standoffish but she cuddled right up to Jess. She took Penny on walks, played with her in the backyard and took her to the park. Would highly recommend.

Emily was wonderful with our 10mo puppy, giving him attention and providing enrichment throughout the day, taking him on his midday walk and feeding him lunch. We came home to a happy, wriggly, sleepy puppy. Emily also left the sweetest report card and polaroid shot of Kiwi at the end of the day :)

Traci has great energy and will do everything in her power to make sure your pet is safe, comfortable and well taken care of. She is an exceptionally responsible, quick-learning sitter, and an excellent communicator. Plus, she seriously makes the best shortbread cookies I have EVER tasted. We will not hesitate to book her again!

About: I've been able to care for a wide variety of pets since I was 12, from chickens and parrots to cats and dogs. My neighbors and friends have been able to rely on me to provide their pets with quality care. Im currently working part time, so I have plenty of space in my schedule to be able to take care of your pets while you're away. While I care for your pets I'll make sure to follow any instructions left, and to love and respect them. I will also make sure to play with them for as long as they like.

Omar was truly amazing! We were in a crunch after our original dog sitter did not finalize as expected, and Omar stepped in on short notice without hesitation. He confirmed the dates quickly and even made time to meet our two Rhodesian Ridgebacks for two walks before the stay, which gave us so much peace of mind. From the beginning, Omar was prompt, professional, trustworthy, and genuinely eager to meet our dogs. During the stay, he kept their schedule consistent and even took them on extra walks, which I know they absolutely loved. He kept us updated throughout, and we always felt confident that our dogs were safe, secure, and well cared for. Omar is not only a great sitter and walker, but also an overall great person. Our dogs loved him, and we would feel completely comfortable having them stay with him anytime we travel. I think we have officially found our recurring sitter and walker. Highly recommend!

We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter than Melissa from Rover. She took amazing care of our dog Luna, who was recovering from knee surgery and needed special attention. Melissa followed our instructions for Luna’s physical therapy three times a day, and kept us updated with photos and messages through the Rover app, which really gave us peace of mind. On top of that, she stayed at our house while we were away and left it spotless. We even came home to a sweet note and a flower on the counter. Melissa truly went above and beyond, and we highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable pet sitter.

Natalie did an AMAZING job. My old dog was unfortunately having health issues and Natalie was there to love on her and picked up some medication from the vet to try to help her symptoms. I couldn't have hoped for a better substitute for me being there during this difficult time. If you use Natalie for dog sitting, you are definitely leaving your fur baby in capable AND very empathetic/loving hands.
