Kayla is a wonderful pet sitter. My older poodle girl is hesitant to meet people, but from the moment Lyla saw Kayla it was instant acceptance. She knew she could trust her. Kayla communicated with us often. She was responsible and loving towards Lyla. I would highly recommend her to anyone that needs a pet sitter. Thank you, Kayla. We appreciate the support you gave to Lyla and us.

Timothy is a 5 Star Pet Sitter! He is 100% responsible and responsive! Our dog is "high energy" and Tim took her our several times a day for walks. He has an obvious heart for dogs and our dog stuck right by his side when he was here. He also left the house in spotless conditiion. We feel very lucky to have had him pet sit for our family!

Naomi did such a great job with my 3 dogs. She really takes the time to make them feel comfortable. I have an older dog that gets nervous when we are gone. Naomi really took the time to work with her and form a relationship to keep my dog calm and make her feel comfortable. I felt completely at ease while she was watching the dogs. I highly recommend her!

Daniele did a great job sitting for our 16 year old cat and 12 year old dog for the weekend. It can be stressful the first time using a new sitter especially when your pets are older, but Daniele was super responsive, sent lots of pics and kept us knowing they were happy and comfortable while still letting us enjoy our time away- it was a perfect balance! We wouldn’t hesitate to ask Daniele if she’d come stay with them again!

About: Hi! My name is Emi. I grew up in a home full of animals—my dad is a huge animal lover, so we always had dogs and cats in our house. Being surrounded by so many animals is probably why I developed such a deep love for them myself. I have a 5-year-old Samoyed named Noah, and we would absolutely love the chance to meet your baby and become friends 😊 Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions—I’d be happy to connect and will respond as soon as I can! I work Monday through Friday, 9–5, but since my position is fully remote, I have plenty of flexibility to give your baby the attention and care they need throughout the day. I live in an apartment located in a safe, walkable neighborhood, so your baby will get plenty of fresh air and nice strolls. I also have a sweet “little polar bear” of my own — my 5-year-old Samoyed — and we’ll make sure your baby feels loved and well-companioned the entire time 💕

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!

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.
