1. David L.

“David was great. We used his service for a day while we were skiing with the family. We have two dogs and one is a 32 week old puppy that is a little anxious. David contact us and let us know has was anxious and we suggested a few strategies that seemed to work.”


2. Pamela N.

“Pamela did a wonderful job taking care of my 2 dogs and cat while I was gone for the weekend! She was punctual and responsible, followed all my care instructions, sent photos and updates, and was delightful to work with. I would definitely have Pamela watch them again.”


3. Jeffrey M.

“Jeff did a great job with our cat. He was attentive, friendly, followed directions and gave us timely updates. Our cat has some special needs due to his age and health and it didn't phase Jeff in least -- he has an older cat of his own and he knows how to work with cats. Please don't hesitate to contact him for your cat's needs.”


4. Halleen S.

“Halleen was so kind and loving to our dog. We felt so comfortable allowing her to stay at our house. She did such a great job, communicated well and in additions to walking, she took our dog to play at the local park a few times over the weekend. We can’t wait to have her look after our dog again. Fantastic job.”


5. Charlene H.

“Five stars for Charlene! We found ourself in a pinch when our regular dog sitter had a conflict. Charlene came to the rescue! From the moment she first met our 14 year old maltipoo, we knew we found someone special. She hit it right off with our family and our dog. She was amazingly communicative and we felt 100% comfortable with her staying in our home and taking care of our dog. We will definitely be working with Charlene again!”




6. Gus C.


“Gus, Marian, Ollie and family welcomed Boone into their home for a five-night stay. Ollie was a wonderful playmate and mentor, and Gus and Marian and family gave 3mo. old Boone lots of guidance and consistent reinforcement. This was our first time at a host family, and Rover.com was a wonderful experience...I will definitely use them again!”


7. Randy D.

“Randy was amazing, we loved seeing the daily pictures of our dogs playing. Highly recommended”


8. Maybelline C.

“Maybelline did a 5-star job caring for our sheltie Pepper. (Thank you, Maybelline!). Maybelline is a reliable, trustworthy, and caring pet sitter. She is a terrific communicator and did an excellent job providing daily updates. We especially enjoyed the Pepper photos she sent. When we returned from our trip, it was clear that Pepper was well cared for and happy.”


9. Bert C.

“We luved Bert and he was an excellent pet and house sitter. Our dog can be temperamental and Bert handled him with much patience and care. We would have Bert back anytime.”


10. Avery O.

“Avery took great care of our animals and home while we were away! Both of our dogs needed medication and she did a great job administering both pills and eye drops. She kept an open line of communication and reached out if she ever had any concerns/questions and vice versa. Our house was pristine when we got home as well. We would hire her again. Thanks again Avery!”


11. Taa E.

“Taa is an excellent sitter - I have a puppy who because he's young needs a little extra TLC and guidance, since he is working on his manners. But she was great with him and accommodating. She was also on time and communicative, both of which I really appreciate. Would definitely recommend and hire again!”


12. Caitlin L.

“I really felt comfortable having Caitlin care for my sweet pup today. She was punctual, attentive and bonded quickly with Oliver. They spent time outdoors, and he got lots of his favorite belly rubs.☺️ I will definitely contact Caitlin again when the need arises.”


13. Sarah D.


“Sarah was AMAZING! This was the first time leaving our 8 month labradoodle with a Rover in our apartment. She sent frequent and thorough updates with lots of photos. It was so great knowing about all of their walks and playtime together. She was incredibly calm and diligent which gave us the upmost trust and confidence. Ollie absolutely loved her and we look forward to working with Sarah again!”


14. Layal E.


“Layal was fantastic with our 2 pups, an energetic goldendoodle and a senior dog. She is professional, flexible, responsible, and most importantly, extremely caring and attentive to the pups. Lots of walks and cuddles, and even a "spa day" with a bath and blow dry that they loved. She is also a very accomplished photographer, and the photos and videos she sent daily were priceless. Really brought smiles to our faces. And it was like having a professional photo shoot for our dogs. We can't recommender her highly enough! Hope to have her back to watch our pups.”


15. Hallie M.

“Hallie was great! Super nice and accommodating and good with my puppy, who does a lot of puppy things. Would recommend & book with her again!”


16. Cynthia K.

“Cynthia was wonderful with our dog Olive. Very attentive and great communication. Definitely recommended.”


17. Karima R.

“Karima was excellent for our girls. She went above and beyond for us when we had a family incident that mixed up our plans. Juno and Mary were so well taken care of and can't wait to be cared for by Karima again.”


18. Lawrence L.

“I am so very grateful that Larry was able to stay at our home and take care of our cat and dog over the holidays — with a *very* last-minute booking, no less! Our cat clearly really trusted him (which doesn’t always happen so quickly) and I really appreciated the efforts he took to play with the cat. Larry also went above and beyond in making sure that my very active dog got plenty of exercise. He took her to a variety of dog parks for hours at a time and I think she was living a much better life with Larry than she does with me! :) I got great updates when I was away and the house was clean and welcoming when I returned. I didn’t get to meet Larry (and Betty!) until the end of their stay, which further speaks to their flexibility — their original “meet and greet” was with the pet sitters I had staying at my home right before them. They were so friendly and professional, and had clearly bonded with my pets — I’d certainly recommend them to others. THANK YOU!”


19. Yolandi H.

“Landi H is a very responsible person, with a caring heart towards people and animals especially dogs and will walk the extra mile for them. She always wants to help especially if she finds out about lost or stray dogs with a great sigh of relief if the pet is found. I will strongly recommend her as a dogwalker or pet sitter.”


20. Andrea "Ani" J.

“Ani was absolutely fantastic. She watched our "zoo" (dog, two cats, two guineas) when we had to leave town fairly quickly. She made a stressed weekend feel much less stressful - she responded quickly to messages, communicated frequently, and gave all our pets a ton of love and attention. Everyone seemed relaxed and happy when we returned home.”
