“Renee was wonderful with my pup and cat. She adapted without a problem when Truffle got an injury right before we left and suddenly had to take medications that he usually doesn’t have to use. Renee was able to get him to take the meds without a problem and keep him comfortable. It was obvious that our pets were well taken care of and Renee stayed well beyond the scheduled time to be present when we arrived.”
“We hired Lisa for a last-minute trip to visit family, and she was a fantastic housesitter. From the start, she put us at ease and we felt confident our two cats would be well cared for. She was super communicative, sent frequent photo updates, and was flexible with our changing plans. When it looked like our dog care might fall through, she was even willing to step in and help with her too. Lisa went above and beyond - she assured us she’d check in on the cats again if anything came up with our travels, and we came home to an impeccably clean house. She even washed the sheets, which made coming home that much better. We’ll definitely be hiring her again!”
“Catarina was great! Easy to communicate with, left our home in great shape, and took great care of our dog Cooper, sending multiple photos every day. Would definitely use Catarina again!”
“Second time having Kylee in our home to sit for our pup and it went really well! Our dog was completely relaxed with her, and she’s usually anxious when we’re gone. Two thumbs up!”
“Nicole was a wonderful dog sitter. She stayed with my senior girl for two weeks while we were on a trip to Europe. She sent detailed updates and pictures daily, which as an anxious dog mom made me feel so much better. She was a perfect house guest and left the apartment clean and well taken care of. I could tell Bella loved her! During her stay, they ran into neighbors/friends/family who all had nothing but great things to say about Nicole and her care for Bella.”
“Annie was great with our boy, and he was so relaxed with her. She was so wonderful to come at the last minute when our other sitter had a family emergency and she was very patient when it took us a little while to get home.”
“Ethan is communicative and trustworthy to take excellent care of your pet. Easy to work with and our dog was calm and happy after being with Ethan for 12 hrs.”
“This was our first time using Rover. We came to DC for a graduation and Naval commissioning and needed a dog sitter for a full day. Zoe replied and the rest was history. Her online communication was awesome. We did a meet and greet and which and immediately felt comfortable leaving Dolly (American Staffordshire Terrier/Pittie) with her. Zoe arrived on time and we left. Zoe sent pictures during the day and gave us a status report. When we arrived back at our hotel, they were both snuggled on the couch. To sum it up, Zoe is totally reliable, very communicative and I am absolutely sure you will have no issues if you decide to let her watch your dog(s).”
“Vanessa was an exceptional pet sitter! She took great care of our pup Mac, keeping him happy and well-looked after. She was reliable, professional, and maintained excellent communication throughout her time with him. I also appreciated how clean and organized everything was when I returned. I would highly recommend Vanessa to anyone looking for a trustworthy and attentive pet sitter!”
“Caroline is the best sitter we could have imagined. She took time to get to know Sammy up front with a couple of meet & greets to be sure their personalities vibed. At their second meeting, Sammy was giving her kisses and wagging his tail so hard I thought he might fall over! This was our longest time ever away from Sammy, and our trip could have been fraught with worry. But Caroline’s regular pics and daily wrap up bulletins calmed our worries from the start, and we were able to be fully present during our visit with family. Her proactivity and detailed interest in Sammy’s needs and personality shows how mi h she truly cares for animals. My only regret is that we didn’t connect with Caroline sooner and that she won’t be moving to our new city with us!”
“Karuna is a fantastic sitter! She was communicative and thorough, as well as accommodating with timing for additional visits so our shy dog could get used to her. Karuna was also a life saver when our train home was delayed, allowing us to add an extra day on the back end of our trip to cover the difference. She kept in touch the whole way through to make sure our pets got the care they needed. Our shy dog really warmed up to Karuna, and I could see in the update pictures she sent just how content both our pets were to spend time with her.”
“Aly is great with Sadie! Aly has taken care of Sadie for me on multiple occasions, and I always know that Sadie is in great hands. Aly is very responsive, and keeps me up to date with how Sadie is doing. If you’re looking for somebody who is reliable and great with dogs, book Aly!”
“Oriana was fabulous when staying in our home and taking care of our 12 year old Havanese. First, she offered to do a meet and greet in person before our vacation. Then while we were away for 10 days, she sent daily photo updates and was extremely responsive. She left our house in even cleaner condition than it was when she arrived, and was even thoughtful enough to replace the milk in our refrigerator. Would love to have her again and highly recommend Oriana!”
“Lizzy is the absolute best! From the beginning I knew my pup was going to be in good hands. She was responsive, communicative, trustworthy, and most importantly loves animals. Lizzy was more than capable of handling my 80lbs malinois, Lilah, which gave me the peace of mind I needed throughout my international trip. Prior to her stay, Lizzy made sure she understood all of Lilah's care requirements and I received updates and photos of playtime and their walks throughout her stay. Not only did I come home to a happy and very well cared for dog, Lizzy left my house in perfect condition. I could not recommend a better dog sitter, Lizzy is amazing!”
“Daniel took such great care of our 2 dogs while we were away! He was very communicative, competent and super sweet to our pups. We would definitely recommend his services!”
Waverly Hills pet parents share their Rover experiences
Karuna has been great with our two critters! I especially appreciate her flexibility and quick response times, as it’s made last minute delays/general travel chaos easier to navigate. I also really appreciate that when I forgot to update our care instructions after we moved, Karuna rolled with the punches and quickly figured out our new layout and where everything belonged.
We are so grateful to have found Sabrina to watch our pup Wrigley. We came home to a very relaxed, happy dog, and the house was exactly as we left it. Sabrina was communicative, sent daily pics/updates, and clearly took great care of Wrigley. Would not hesitate to recommend her and can’t say enough great things!
10/10 would recommend Tyler. She was extremely communicative before and during her stay at our place with our dog Sugar. It was very clear that Sugar got tons of attention and that Tyler really does care a lot. Sugar doesn’t do well with some other dogs and I felt very comfortable having Tyler walk her in our neighborhood. Tyler is professional, flexible, and has a great sense of humor which I appreciated in the updates she provided. We have already booked her again.
Emma did a wonderful job! She was very accommodating. She allowed our Poppy to stay at her home when renovations to our place were not finished in time. I don’t think Poppy behaved as well at Emma’s as she does at home so we truly appreciated Emma’s fortitude. We received sweet pics of Poppy out on walks with Emma and snuggling with her in her home. We would definitely recommend Emma!
Mackenzie took great care of our dog Mully! She updated us on how he was doing, and even helped our neighbor. We had a delayed flight coming home and she stayed a bit longer than originally planned to make sure Mully didn’t stay on his own for too long. I’d definitely use her again!
Deniz was fabulous and we look forward to her sitting our pup again. Our dog is very anxious and though generally sweet, he can be difficult with people he does not know. Deniz made the extra effort to meet him in advance and to spend time getting to know him so that he was comfortable with her. She also followed guidance closely. We appreciated her sending updates (and pictures) and were able to enjoy a trip knowing the dog was in good hands.
Erin is a wonderful sitter and walker - we can’t recommend her highly enough. She has previously done recurring walks for our dog, Laika, and more recently housesat for a long weekend. Erin is always proactive and communicative, reaching out to you to confirm times and details and always being timely. Our doggo loves her. What most impressed us when she housesat for us, though, was the extra mile she went in taking care of Laika, including taking her (with our permission) on a long nature walk to burn off some energy, and then cleaning her up afterwards when she got muddy. I think Laika had a blast spending a weekend with Erin, and we felt better on our trip getting updates and pictures from Erin and knowing Laika was with someone so responsible. 5/5, you’re lucky if you can work with Erin!
Always amazing with my dogs! One of my pups was suffering from an upset stomach the night before my trip and Oriana went out of her way to feed her a special diet of pumpkin all week. I really appreciate when a sitter goes out of their way to take care of my senior pets 🙏❤️
Lizzy is the absolute best! From the beginning I knew my pup was going to be in good hands. She was responsive, communicative, trustworthy, and most importantly loves animals. Lizzy was more than capable of handling my 80lbs malinois, Lilah, which gave me the peace of mind I needed throughout my international trip. Prior to her stay, Lizzy made sure she understood all of Lilah's care requirements and I received updates and photos of playtime and their walks throughout her stay. Not only did I come home to a happy and very well cared for dog, Lizzy left my house in perfect condition. I could not recommend a better dog sitter, Lizzy is amazing!
Erica was very sweet with our Boston Terrier, Gilligan. She came over twice before the stay to make sure both she and Gilligan felt comfortable, which we really appreciated. She was understanding of his anxiety and willing to work within his routine, including his medication schedule. She was communicative while we were away and made sure he was fed and cared for. Thank you for taking care of our pup!
Anna was wonderful to work with! She took great care of our dog Theo while we were away for a long weekend. She was incredibly responsive, reliable, and attentive to Theo’s routines, and sent plenty of updates to let us know he was having a good time. We hope to book with Anna again in the future!
