“Ellie did a great job taking care of our older dog and very quickly they got used to each other!! Ellie touched base with me on a daily basis and sent lots of pictures at the end of the day as requested!! We will definitely book Ellie in the future and highly recommend her!!”

“Kayla was amazing with our 3 high-maintenance Frenchies. She showed up on time, sent updates with photos, and made sure they got their care & meds as needed. We are so happy to have found her!”

“Dani is amazing. In 2 minutes you know you’ve found the right person to care for your dog. She loves dogs, has a gentle but firm manner and just “gets it”. Rare to find someone w judgment. She’s got it!”

“Terra was great and took such good care of my cat while I was away. She sent frequent daily updates with pictures which was so appreciated. I will definitely contact Terra for a future stay!”

“Farah was super competent in taking care of Bean, and very accommodating and helpful as it was my first time booking on Rover and I didn’t really know what I was doing. Highly recommend!!”

“Anastasia was wonderful with Max. She is very responsive and a good communicator. She followed all instructions well and left my home in hear spotless condition. Max was in great spirits when I got home. I'm so thankful Anastasia could watch Max so last minute. We would love to have her watch Max again.”


“My second time booking with Desdrianneja and I felt so comfortable leaving Onyx in her care again! She did not disappoint and communicated with me every day. Onyx loves her and I appreciate her professionalism and kindness towards not only my precious boy, but me as well. Thank you Desdrianneja 💗💗”

“Nothing but glowing things to say. I felt confident that Penny was in good hands from the jump when I saw how Bri interacted with her during out meet and greet. Penny is a high energy young dog and Bri sent plenty of updates while I was away. She took my notes about Penny's care and ran with them giving Penny enrichment, practicing commands on walks, and in the end I had cute photos of a tired pup! Would definitely recommend.”

“Lana is great - super reliable, on time and most importantly she kept the puppy super happy ! Those with puppies know that this can be a busy job ☺️☺️☺️. We did book her twice and will definitely book her again”

“Sarah is amazing! She stayed with my dogs for the first time last night, and I appreciated how loving she was with them. Great at sending updates to me throughout her stay and took special care of the dogs and my home. I’ll be booking Sarah again!”

“Kaira is great! She always takes great care of my babies while I’m gone. Lola was on her period and had started the morning I was leaving for my trip and she didn’t have any issues accommodating this extra step! Thank you so much Kaira!!”
“Lindsey is hands-down the best dog sitter we could have asked for. Our pups are like our kids, so we’re wary of leaving them with just anybody. Lindsey took the time to meet with us before our vacation to go through our daily routine and address any questions to help put our minds at ease. We received regular updates and communication throughout the stay. She went above and beyond in all aspects. Highly recommend her and we’ll certainly be using her again soon!”


“My dog, Dante, can be anxious around new people. Jamie connected with him immediately and understood how to handle him! I'm so grateful for her attentiveness and care of my snuggle monster!”
“Oliviagrace took excellent car of my aging dog. She treated him like he was her own much loved dog. Her on-going communication was thorough and I liked seeing she pictures and videos. I returned to a happy dog and well tended house. I highly recommend her for your pet sitting needs.”

“Geneva was assumed with Pepper and beans. Being very tentative with them when it came to feeding and being let out. Also spending some social time with them. Ill def recommend and hire again for future vacations.!!!”

grant was hands down the most incredible pet sitter i've ever tried ever! he was so good at communicating quickly especially with me being in the virgin islands where service is only available in certain areas. not once while i was on vacation did i have to worry about my pup because i knew he was in good hands. grant even last minute excepted to watching my pup for 2 more days due to a flight delay. grant is who i will use anytime i need a sitter. my concierge was even telling me that zeus looked so happy while in his care PLEASE make sure to take the opportunity and book if he has open availability, you will not be disappointed

Naomi always goes above and beyond to make sure our pups are well cared for while we are away. She provides structured routines, lots of love, sends plenty of updates and videos! She is also very well rounded in her knowledge and handling of all types of dog temperaments and needs; our two pups have very different care requirements (ie one with medical needs and one is a young dog with a lot of energy) and she always does a fantastic job with them both! I would highly recommend her! (-:

Lidia was absolutely wonderful! From the moment we met, I felt completely comfortable leaving my pet in her care. She was dependable, communicative, and clearly has a genuine love for animals. Throughout the stay, she provided updates, photos, and peace of mind, which meant so much to me. My pet was happy, well cared for, and clearly received plenty of attention and affection. Lidia went above and beyond to make sure everything was handled perfectly. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, responsible, and kind to care for your furry family member, I cannot recommend Lidia highly enough. I will definitely be booking with her again!

Daniela was such a blessing! From day one she was very responsive and professional. I made her come to my house twice for meet and greet because i have two Dobermans and i needed them to get familiarized with her before my trip. She accomodated my last minute changes and made the whole experience so enjoyable. My dogs are very high maintenance and extremely velcro so i was worried it would be too much for Daniela but nope! Got so many pictures and updates that i didnt worry about my doggos (or my house) while i was on vacation. She went above and beyond and left the house even cleaner than how i left it. Even gave freyja a bath. Not ever booking with anyone else other than her :) happy with my first ever rover experience and very thankful i found her.

Keely was warm, friendly, and easy going when she came over before hand to meet my puppy. This was my first time using Rover and was impressed by the level of service received by Keely. She sent pictures everyday along with communication. If there were any concerns, all minor puppy behavior, she noted them via text. For example, asked how I handled my dog, an Australian Shepherd, wanting to sprint for several blocks and be an Olympic Champ (my words not hers), I gave her suggestions that have worked for me. All to say, she doesn’t hesitate to reach out and ask what works for your dog when needed. I would recommend Keely and use her services again if she is up to my energetic Australian Shepherd.

Kendall was absolutely fantastic. She house sitted for our American Akita while we were out of the country, which is no easy feat. American Akitas are very large dogs, and notoriously difficult to open up to people they don’t know. Within 10 minutes of meeting Kendall, all of my concerns were extinguished. She’s highly professional, great with communication, and has “the touch”, where my introverted girly was best friends with her the second they met. I undoubtedly will be hiring Kendall for any future needs, and any other owner with large dog breeds, especially shy ones, should as well.

I can’t sing enough praises for Ellie. I booked her to house/dog sit while I traveled to europe for the first time. I was so anxious about leaving my babies but Ellie stayed in constant communication and sent me plenty of videos and pictures. She even met with me prior to do a meet and greet and a test run with a little walk. My apartment building is confusing but Ellie managed to navigate it well. I’m a very anxious person but i’m now so relieved to have a trustworthy sitter. 10/10 will book again. THANK YOU ELLIE

She was very communicative throughout the stay and clearly took the responsibility of caring for the pets seriously. She sent regular updates and photos, walked my senior dog daily, spent time playing with both pets, and also helped clean the kitchen and common areas before leaving, which I appreciated. I believe she genuinely cared about the animals and wanted to be helpful. Overall, I appreciated her attentiveness, communication, and the care she showed my pets during the booking.

Ruth was great with our little zoo of 3 big dogs! One of our pups is very anxious and she did great with her as well with our high energy golden! All their different foods, meds, and supplements were handled perfectly. She was very attentive and communicative. She also left our house spotless too which is always appreciated!
