1. Denise S.

“Denise was wonderful! Showed up when she said she was going to, stayed with my babies and sent pictures/updates. I will definitely be using her again and can’t thank her enough for taking such good care of all my fur babies.”


2. Ginni D.

“SO glad to have found Ginni!!! She came and met my pets (cats and large dogs) and they all were very happy to meet her...even the shy ones...she is a natural with animals! She was so sweet to them and came to stay with them overnight when I didn't want to leave my 20-year-old kitty at home unattended or try to board her...AND she was very nice about us having to adjust our travel time. Everyone was happy (especially me!) and it was so nice to be able to go visit family knowing she was here. THANK YOU GINNI!!!”


3. Sheridan R.

“Sheridan was very helpful with our 3 dogs that can become a handful at times. Checked in daily and took care of everything while we left town. Definitely recommend her.”


4. John-Paul R.
“John Paul is the best person you could pick to have a part of the Rover team. Not only does he have a genuine undying love for animals, they always love him back just as deeply. I can attest he will do an outstanding job as a pet caregiver!”


5. Alana W.

“Alana was amazing house sitting and caring for my dog Tillie on short notice. Tillie is pretty shy but immediately was at ease with Alana, and they had a great time together with lots of snuggles! Alana left my house in excellent condition and was very communicative with picture updates of Tillie. Would definitely book again!”


6. Rheya F.
“Rheya is wonderful at taking care of our dogs,especially with one being a rescue. She goes above and beyond to learn how to handle him, keep him and others safe as well as how to take care of our elderly dog. She very kind and highly recommend her.”


7. Cassie K.
“Cassie is the sweetest person. I hsve two dogs and 2 cats and she is patient with my animals and treats them like her own. She plays with them, talks to them and genuinely cares them. I couldn't recommend a better person to take care of your pets”


8. Erica M.
“We have known Erica for more than 20 years and it is without hesitation that we recommend her to you. Erica is the kindest person you may ever meet. She approaches each opportunity with joy and excitement. She is very well versed in pet care and has been one of the few people that our highly reactive dog is able to tolerate. She will treat your home, loved ones and pets with the utmost respect and care. To her, there is no other option. Her integrity is unmatched. When you hire Erica, you can feel calm and confident that your pets and home will be loved, protected and looked after until you return.”


9. Grey W.

“Big thanks to grey for taking care of my puppy when I needed help last minute. He’s only 9 weeks old so he needs constant attention, it’s no easy task! I am super appreciative & I know my little pup is too!”


10. Carolyn M.

“We were in a bind and needed someone the next day. Carolyn worked us in with her other job for the weekend and came through with shining colors! She came when we needed her and loved on our girl and all was wel!”


11. Carrie G.
“Carrie has watched multiple pets of ours. I always feel so comfortable knowing they are with someone who is going to take care of them like I do. She watched our senior poodles for us while we were away as well as dropped in on our cat. You won't go wrong having her take care of your furry family members!!”


12. Morgan N.
“Morgan has been a house/pet sitter for us on numerous occasions. On several pet-sits, we had 2 dogs, a cat, and a 220 gallon saltwater aquarium with live coral. He has always taken extremely good care of all our pets, mindful of their specific needs (older dogs, shy cat, not to mention the fish). We highly recommend Morgan as a very responsible house/pet sitter. He has had dogs of his own for many years and understands the importance of an owner’s relationship to his/their pets.”


13. Christina R.

“It’s hard to find someone you can trust to not only take care of your pets, but to also stay in your home. We just went away for three nights as sort of a trial run before taking a longer trip and we couldn’t be happier that we met Chris! Everything went really well and Chris gave us updates every day with photos (and videos 😊). We came home to happy animals and a clean home. We’re looking forward to taking a longer trip now and leaving with peace of mind!”


14. Marybee B.
“Absolutely wonderful with pets!!!! Marybee has both a soft heart and a gentle way of taking care of animals. I witnessed both her compassionate care and enthusiasm for our cats at our work. She always made sure their needs were met and she took care of any medical needs for them from her own pocket. She has a deep love for animals and always goes above and beyond for any animal she is caring for.”


15. Kaysee G.

“We needed someone to take care of our 2 dogs while we went out of town and were so happy to find Kaysee to house sit. Communication was wonderful throughout the whole experience (meet and greet, while we were away, and everything in between). She was friendly, reliable, and respectful of our home. We would definitely use her services again and highly recommend!”


16. Kary M.

“Kary did a wonderful job with our Border Collie, Raven and cat, Rey. Our dog is very touchy and does not respond well to other people. Katy seemed to be very successful with getting her to potty, and I believe Raven was nice. We were so happy this worked out. Kary also left a very detailed note about her house sitting in our home. I loved the note about how everything worked out while she stayed in our home. Kary showed up on time, provided numerous potty breaks, food schedule was documented. I would recommend Kary to everyone. We also loved the pictures, information about how she cleaned everything prior to her leaving. Our fur babies were well taken care of during her stay in our home.”


17. Lillie V.

“Lillie was great with the dogs! She was reliable and communicative for our overnight booking. She was flexible when my plans changed and even tidied up the house! I left her detailed instructions which she followed seamlessly and she sent plenty of happy and cuddly dog pictures. She has quickly become my go-to sitter that I trust.”


18. Ginger T.

“Ginger is amazing in every way and took excellent loving care of our two shy kitties and our home. She communicates wonderfully and as I requested, went above and beyond in her service and I was very comforted that she was here. My two adopted (and still adapting) fur babies were calm and happy when we returned home … and that says a lot! I highly highly recommend Ginger and look forward to our working together again in tge future!”


19. Kate H.
“Kate is a very responsible and dependable animal caregiver. She has a deep love and passion for all animals. She grew up with multiple dogs and cats in her family and is well versed in caring for and interacting with them.”


20. Donna T.

“Donna is absolutely amazing!! In addition to being super friendly, she is flexible, accommodating, and eager to love on your fur babies! She took great care of Oreo, and I am so thankful to have found a reliable, kind, and loving sitter. Even in the chaos of my life, she was ready and willing to help at a moments notice. Oreo had a ride to the park, slept in bed, and had plenty of perfect attention!”
