“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!”


“Great sitter. Was able to help out on short notice and provided updates on our pets. Gave us peace of mind and we were able to enjoy our vacation. Would definitely book again”


“Ana is always a pleasure to work with. She takes great care of our bulldog (wiping and keeping up with the high maintenance:)) Ana is attentive, punctual and very responsive. We also love that she sends many pics of our precious pup while we are away. Thank you!”


“Matt was so great to work with! He was incredibly nice and communicative, and I could tell our boy was in safe hands. He sent frequent pics and updates. Would definitely book again.”



“Rachel stayed with my 3 furry babies for 10 days. I felt completely confident with her. One of my dogs became sick and she nursed her back to health and made a special diet for her. Thank You Rachel!!!!”


“Yuliia has been a rebooking for a couple of years now. Definitely our preferred Rover. She does such a great job with our animals, and takes AMAZING pictures of them while we're away!”



“Elizabeth took such amazing care of my dog (and my house) while I was away! She asked thoughtful questions when getting to know me and my dog, Kiki, and had great communication with me throughout my trip. I would highly recommend her to anyone needing someone to care for their pet!”


“Daniel took exceptional care of our two dogs. He was very communicative, kind, and accommodating. I felt at ease from the moment we dropped them off, and Daniel continued to make me feel so throughout their stay. I highly, highly recommend him!”


“Tiffany was absolutely fantastic! She cared for our 8-month-old puppy, Disco, for 7 days/nights at our home, and we couldn’t be more pleased. Tiffany's communication was top notch-she sent photos every morning and kept us updated throughout the day, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. She took wonderful care of Disco, ensuring she was happy and well-cared-for. It was clear that she also respected our home-when we returned, the house was clean, and everything was how we left it. Tiffany went above and beyond, and we will 100% be rebooking her in the future. Highly recommend!”


“Ariana was fantastic! She was incredibly flexible, even letting us switch the dogs out at the last minute, which we really appreciated. She communicated quickly and clearly, making everything so easy and stress-free. Our dogs were happy and well cared for, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Highly recommend!”


“Shanda exceeded my expectations! She house sat for a long time and sent frequent updates, kept the house clean, and communicated perfectly. I would absolutely recommend her and will hopefully book with her again.”


“Sidney has become the first person we reach out to when we’re going out of town. She is so great with our pack, even our skittish kitty hangs out with her! We trust her completely in our home.”


“Misha was incredible! He communicated so well, took both my dogs on their daily separate walks, and sent a ton of pictures. My dogs normally seem anxious when I get home from being out of town but they seemed so chill & I could tell they got plenty of attention and activity while I was gone. I will definitely be requesting to book with him again next time I need a sitter or drop in visits!”


“Ronnie stayed in our house for two weeks caring for our dog Tani, and did an excellent job. She closely bonded with Tani-dog, even through the occasional presence of her nemesis (thunder). She sent regular updated pics--something that definitely makes the time apart easier--and left the house as she found it. We recommend Ronnie wholeheartedly!”


“Maddy is probably the best Rover sitter I’ve ever had. Fairly last second, we were able to find her to watch our boys who can’t be left home alone for 5 days straight. She was awesome. The boys were actually depressed watching her leave, we had to cheer them up but they waited at the door for her. If she is ever available again, she will be our go to. She even did random chores around the house that she didn’t need to do but was so sweet of her. The boys were well taken care of and she was super communicative about everything. I’ve never felt so stress free leaving my boys home alone before Maddy.”


“Rebekah did a wonderful job caring for our 3 dogs while we were away! She is very caring and attentive and made an effort to get to know each one. One of our dogs is blind, and we felt very secure knowing she was with Rebekah. House was in great condition when we returned. Will happily book Rebekah again!”
