“Dina took great care of both my dog and my house while I was away! My dog Penny takes a while to warm up to new people but she seemed very happy with Dina.”
“Christine has been a great sitter for my two dogs- one who can be very slow to trust sitters and she always keeps me informed with pictures and dogs are happy!”
“Cienne took great care of my pups! She stayed at my home and sent lots of updates which I love. My girls looked very happy and comfortable. Will definitely have her over again!”
“Jeff is great. Extremely reliable and compassionate with my dogs. He took great care of them. And left my house in the same condition as it was when I left. I highly recommend him. I have had a lot of problems with Rover in Austin and Jeff is one of the few sitters I feel comfortable leaving my dogs with”

“Nicole was great with the dogs, even with our old girl having some accidents in the house. Nicole was timely, communicative and trustworthy. Would love to work with he again!”
“This recent booking was our first overnight stay with Steven. I’ve booked Steven a couple times before for day-stays and I was so relieved to hear he was available for house sitting while I went on a several day hiking trip in California. My pup is anxious and very attached to me so, I have a hard time leaving her with just anyone. Knowing Steven would be taking care of my pup let me fully enjoy myself while I was away. I’m appreciative of his flexibility, understanding, and communication. Thank you for all of your kindness and patience with Palomita! Can’t wait for our next house sitting opportunity.”
“Clair was great! Was very attentive, sent pictures and notes about how my 2 kitties were doing and even read through my crazy long cat manual/notes. Will definitely be reaching out again!”
“Lauren was Blue’s first nanny ever, and she truly is amazing! She kept me updated with adorable photos of Blue and followed my instructions on crate time perfectly. You can really see how loving and skilled she is with dogs. I felt completely at ease leaving Blue in her care. Thank you so much!”
“This was our first time using Rover and Crystal, and we had a great experience! We opted for the house sitting and she gave us daily updates and our pup looked happy and relaxed. We’ve already rebooked her for the end of the month! Thank you Crystal!”
“Mariah was very attentive to my instructions and left my house looking spotless. She made sure to send plenty of updates and my boys looked like they had a blast. Highly recommend Mariah!”
“Lauren was a fantastic sitter for our 2 cats and 2 dogs! She made sure the whole crew was comfortable and got attention. She sent updates and pictures which helped us relax while we were away. She did especially well with our special needs dog who gets oral medication for behavioral issues. 10/10 sitter - I will definitely book with Lauren in the future!”

suzette went above and beyond our expectations for our babies! she was able to get us in last minute before our trip and we are so grateful we found her. she sent pictures of our pets often, took careful consideration of their unique needs, and even trimmed our dog’s nails for him. on top of that, we came back to our place being cleaner than we left it! i highly recommend booking suzette to take care of your pets.
Lucienne was the BEST! I was very nervous to introduce my cats to a new sitter as they had the same one for 4 years, but Lucienne was so gentle and loving that they warmed up in no time. She played with them, left entertaining cat tv on for them when she left, and kept the place clean. She also consistently sent photos and videos. Thanks so much Lucienne!
Ja was a great communicator, sent lots of pics of our dog, and left our house in excellent condition. I felt particularly bad for not setting up our house code properly when we left, which had her stuck outside our house for a half hour, but she was gracious about it and loved on our dog. Thank you Ja for helping us out, and on short notice to boot!
I almost didn’t want to leave a review because I’d love to keep Aleksi to ourselves 😊, but he is one of the best Rovers we’ve ever had. I’m always nervous leaving Woody with anyone, and Aleksi made me feel completely at ease from start to finish. His communication was fantastic, the updates were thoughtful, and he took amazing care of both Woody and our home. We came home to a happy dog, a spotless house, and total peace of mind. I can’t recommend Aleksi highly enough and would book with him again in a heartbeat!
Paul is an amazing dog friend. He watched my old dog on meds and my young dog with high energy without any problems and made them happy. He also sent videos and photos that were extra reassuring all was going well while staying at the house. I highly recommend Paul.
