Lori stayed with our Bella for 10 days. She loved Lori and she's very picky on who she likes. Lori kept our house spotless and our plants alive. Will hire again if she's available.

Abby was amazing! It was our first time using Rover, and she came here for two weeks. She sent pictures almost every day, and was great with communication. When we came home, dogs weren’t stressed, house was spotless, can’t wait for her next visit!

Ky provided outstanding care for our pets when house sitting. We felt very comfortable with her in the home, and she willingly helped with extra little things like taking the trash tote to the street. She provides that extra touch of reassurance and comfort. Ky is mindful to send videos and photos, which made the family smile while away. You can tell she totally loves animals. I will certainly request her again when the need arises.

Laura is amazing! Our dog gets nervous around new people and she was so accommodating to schedule a meet and greet before our trip to put him at ease. He was so well taken care of and our house was very clean when we returned. We very much appreciated the updates and photos while we were away as well!

We hired Jessica for the first time to pet/house sit our 11 year old golden retriever. She was excellent! She came over prior to meet us and our dog. She communicates well, giving us updates 2-3 times/day; she sent lots of adorable pictures as well! She washed her sheets/towels (without being instructed to) and left the house neat and tidy. Our dog seemed happy when we returned. We would definitely recommend her and will hire her in the future.

Samara was amazing!! Very communicative and timely. Was upfront with everything happening at home. Took my pup on a walk and they clearly played lots as he was exhausted when I got home! Everything was cleaned up and she did everything I asked of her :-) will definitely have her back and would recommend her to my family and friends!

Tierney has cared for my two dogs Winston and Prince many times. She is a true animal lover and shows love and attention to them both. She is very responsible and I will continue to use Tierney to watch over my fur babies whenever I need her.

This was our first rover experience. Emma was amazing! Without question we would use her again. The dogs were happy, calm, and relaxed when we got home. Emma was great at communicating during our trip and when we returned our house was spotless. She went above and beyond with walking the dogs and checking our mail. Can't recommend her enough!

Madeline is probably the best Rover sitter we have ever used. She was friendly, communicative & left our home clean. She went above and beyond collecting chicken eggs & our mail, letting the cleaners in & washing her linens. She made our trip stress free!
