“We were so reassured having Emily stay in our house with Lola while we were away overnight. She took great care of Lola and we won’t hesitate to call on her again in the future!”
“Nicole helped me out in a big way while I was away at a wedding! I got adorable pictures of my pup and was very happy to hear she took the time to let her warm up. Will definitely rebook with Nicole again, highly recommend!”

“Erica was phenomenal with my dog. She was responsive, detailed, and dependable. I loved the detailed message she'd send each day of her house sitting with pictures— it made me feel like my pup was really cared for. Would hire again!”
“I am a bit of a nervous dog mom when it comes to leaving my fur babies with anyone...Understatement...my pups are needy and full of character. Jess was AMAZING! She was so sensitive to what each dog needed. She communicated with me when necessary in a thoughtful manner. I have total confidence leaving my fur babies with her again!”
“Sara was amazing! Our 11 month old Violet loved her immediately. We asked her short notice, to stay a few extra hours and she was super accommodating and responsive. Can't say enough positive things about our experience. Will definitely use again!”
“Traci has great energy and will do everything in her power to make sure your pet is safe, comfortable and well taken care of. She is an exceptionally responsible, quick-learning sitter, and an excellent communicator. Plus, she seriously makes the best shortbread cookies I have EVER tasted. We will not hesitate to book her again!”
“Sarah was perfect for us! We have an elderly cat and dog and she catered to both of their needs and eccentricities so that we could go on a short trip without worrying about them. We will definitely be calling her back in the future!”
“Alana was great! She stayed at our home for a week while we were away and cared for our boxer and other assorted small animals. She gave thorough updates daily, and we returned home to a happy pup and and clean and well cared for house. We will definitely use her again in the future!”
“Sabina was wonderful! Made friends with our reactive dog very quickly! She also took care of him during a power outage, and we are so grateful. We came back to a happy and relaxed lil guy!”

“Julia W. was great with our exuberant goldendoodle, Jake. She clearly loves animals, and has excellent experience with dog care and training. Jake was busy each day with multiple walks, playtime, and then some nice down time. Julia communicated well, sent us pictures, was very responsive. We knew that our dog was in great hands. Thank you so much!”
“Elizabeth (Betsy) was amazing for our house sitting this weekend. She took amazing care of our dog. She gave picture and video updates throughout the weekend. Our neighbors even complimented on how good Betsy was with her. I highly recommend!”
“We are indebted to Melissa who stayed flexible and cared for our dogs as we fought a Midwest snowstorm that changed travel plans! She was communicative and patient- to have someone so reliable and who are dogs clearly love puts our minds at ease when we have to be away.”
“Caroline was a great pet sitter! The dogs were happy and the house was spotless when we got home from our trip. Appreciate all her hard work, even taking the dogs outside during a snowstorm! Planning to hire again immediately. Highly recommended.”
“Stef rocks! She was an excellent communicator and responsive during the booking process and sitting. She took excellent care of our 3 month old puppy and our home while we were away. It was such a relief to have Stef to care for my pup!”
“Laura was great! She truly loves dogs and we felt not only were our dogs well cared for, but they were also happy under her care. She followed their routine, which made them comfortable and had good communication with us throughout the trip. No small feat given that we had a three year old out and a puppy on different schedules.”

I would give 10 stars if I could. I went on a two week vacation and very anxious about leaving my two Maine Coons for such a long time. We had JB house sit and she not only took care of the cats but my many plants as well. I am so relieved to have her as a trusted care giver for my fur babies!
Michael took such good care of my dog, especially considering she had surgery a few weeks ago. He gave her medicine and did her physical therapy! He is also great about sending photos and updates, and even tidied my house a bit before he left. Highly recommend!!
Traci was super responsive and willing to accommodate our very last minute over night request with our young puppy who, while adorable, is a handful at this age! She was super helpful not only providing the care we needed, but also offering some helpful recommendations for his schedule, toys, etc after spending a night with him which were super valuable to us as new puppy parents. We’d hire Traci again in a heartbeat!
Caroline H. was great! I really appreciated that she reached out a few days in advance so I felt confident there would be no hiccups on the start date. I also appreciated that she stripped the bed and started the washing machine with her sheets and towels before we came home. She was understanding when, after the wedding, I was delayed and my brother and his wife arrived back at the house before me. But most importantly, I could tell she treated our dog well while were were away!
We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter than Melissa from Rover. She took amazing care of our dog Luna, who was recovering from knee surgery and needed special attention. Melissa followed our instructions for Luna’s physical therapy three times a day, and kept us updated with photos and messages through the Rover app, which really gave us peace of mind. On top of that, she stayed at our house while we were away and left it spotless. We even came home to a sweet note and a flower on the counter. Melissa truly went above and beyond, and we highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable pet sitter.
I do not think there are enough positive words I can give for Colleen and how big of a help she was for me and Macy! She goes above and beyond, sends loads of pictures and updates, treats your dog as her own, and l will DEFINITELY be requesting her for all of my future dog sitting needs!! Absolutely amazing experience!
Natalie did an AMAZING job. My old dog was unfortunately having health issues and Natalie was there to love on her and picked up some medication from the vet to try to help her symptoms. I couldn't have hoped for a better substitute for me being there during this difficult time. If you use Natalie for dog sitting, you are definitely leaving your fur baby in capable AND very empathetic/loving hands.
