“As a first time Rover user, Allison eased my concerns and was a great fit for my pup. She checked in to let me know when she arrived/left, reached out with any questions during her stay and sent pictures :)”


2. David C.

“David watched our cat for over a week and did a great job! We have a particularly clingly cat so I was worried about leaving him along so long, but I can tell he was well taken care of, cuddled, and played with. It’s clear David loves animals! Thanks again David!”


3. Maya A.

“Maya is the best! Maya took care of my sweet prince for the first time over the weekend and everything was perfect! All instructions were followed and they kept in constant contact with me. Wonderful dog sitter! I trust Maya with my dog 100% and will be having them dog-sit my dog from now on whenever I have to leave town. Maya is the best!”


4. Kelly T.

“This was my first time using Kelly for house sitting and she was amazing! She was great with comminication and sending pictures. I had a really early flight and she text me as soon as she got to my place and sent a picture of Jaxx putting my mind at ease. My place looked the same as when I left it, so that was really nice to come home to that. I would highly recommend Kelly and will use her again.”


5. Lizbeth R.

“Liz was amazing. She stayed at my house overnight to ensure Bentlee was taken care of, which includes long walks, feedings at specific times, safe and happy! She took the time to FaceTime and even come over to my house to meet Bentlee prior to our vacation. This helped tremendously. I was able to giive her a run down of Bentlee and his routine but also how to navigate my home. She sent DAILY updates, including pictures and videos, at least once a day. This alone made me SO happy and allowed me to enjoy my trip. Liz is a very trusted, responsible person who ensures to communicate cute updates, follow whatever request you may have and makes your dog feel loved and cared for. Liz and Rover is where it is at! 10/10 RECOMMEND and I will use her again in the future!”


6. Lindsay J.

“Lindsay was a rock star sitter to my pup. She was responsive, confirmed she arrived, sent timely updates and pics! When I first met her she immediately took notes and was focused on taking in the details to do a good job. I’ll hire her again when the need arrives.”

“Morgan is awesome!!! Very responsive and gave excellent care to our two dogs. She knew we were a little nervous leaving our 3 month old puppy with someone new, and continued to send updates with pictures through out the whole day!! Which eased our worries! We could tell our two pups were very happy! My partner and I highly recommend Morgan!”

15. Deven S.

“Deven is great! He took care of Lilith for more than 3 weeks and kept us updated regularly. He sent photos and FaceTimed us, took her on walks and got her pup cups.

He even stayed late on the last day cause my flight was delayed and I needed him to take care of Lilith a bit more.”
