1. Deja T.
“Deja was great with our 2 large dogs—one is a VERY picky eater—and the pups were very happy and healthy when we got home! There was a slight change of plans last-minute on her end, but we were able to find someone to help out. She’s very nice and personable and our pups absolutely adore her. Highly recommend!”
2. Caroline N.
“This was our first time leaving our dog with a sitter on Rover! We had such a good experience with Caroline & felt so comfortable leaving Storm with her. She was also super flexible and was able to step in and watch our cat as well! Will use her again!”
3. Tatiana B.
“Tatiana provided us with great service! She stayed at our house with our animals the whole length of her service and gave our pets lots of love and sunshine! She even cleaned up some throw up for us. I was very appreciative to have Tatiana, it gave me a peace of mind while being gone!”
4. Michele S.
“Michele is amazing!! She is such a wonderful person and is a true animal lover. Our animals attached to her instantly, even the very skidddish young cat. She was so great at communicating and sending pictures of the animals. There was never a doubt that they were not just well taken care of, but having the time of thier life! Our house looks like she was never there too! She is the Mary Poppins of animal sitting! Consider yourself lucky if you get her to watch you furbabies! 10 stars!”
5. Caroline B.
“I hired Caroline to petsit my dog Kobe for seven days. Kobe is special needs as he is four years old and was diagnosed with epilepsy at the age of three. He takes anti-seizure meds throughout the day which is one of the reasons I work from home, and I am super overprotective of him. When we did our first meet-and-greet, Caroline came armed with a notepad and questions about Kobe, his likes, dislikes, and his habits. She wanted me to show her where everything was and was very mindful of every thing I told her concerning Kobe and his routine. She is a very kind young lady and seemingly loves animals. I have a camera and was able to check in on Caroline and Kobe throughout the 4.5 hours she'd be at my house. She is really responsive and good about letting me know when she arrives at the house, takes pictures throughout her shift, also videotapes her giving him his meds, and even proof of his poop events. All this is stuff she might have learned in her training with Rover, or just from her own experiences. I didn't ask for all that detail, but am not complaining to get the whole scoop on my dog while I am out. To pass the time while she sits my pooch, Caroline reads, writes, does stuff to keep herself occupied, even takes short naps with my dog, and I appreciate she feels comfortable enough in my home to be relaxed because our pets can sense those types of things. When Kobe first met Caroline he could not stop giving her kisses, and jumping up on her lap, he was so happy and excited he was crying he just could not contain his joy. Our pets are the ultimate judges, so I suggest you do a meet-and-greet with her and take it from there. Do I recommend her? Absolutely, as I will be using her again and again.”
6. Katie B.
“Katie was wonderful and took such great care of our pups! From the moment she walked in the door, our dogs felt comfortable and relaxed and were happy to see her. She kept us updated and informed with pictures throughout the day. We felt so reassured having her there and will definitely be connecting with her again to have her sit for them! Highly recommend!”
7. Debbie M.
“Both my shy dog and my outgoing one did very well with Debbie. She was friendly and attentive —and the house looks, if anything, even better than when I left.”
8. Roger & Julie B.
“I have only wonderful things to say about Roger and Julie! They did a meet and greet since they did not know our dogs and we loved them as much as our dogs did. We don’t leave our dogs often and we have 3 so we worry when we do leave them, but we got daily updates with pictures and our dogs were relaxed and happy. I swear my house was cleaner when we got home than when we left! I highly recommend as long as you leave us some available dates!”
9. Lauren T.
“Great communication. She sent lots of pics showing my dog happy and content. Will happily use Lauren again!”
10. Madison M.
“Maddie was an amazing sitter for our home and pets. She remained in constant communication with updates on how everyone was doing while we were away. She was patient and caring with our pets, taking very good care of them. We felt so at ease having someone we could trust while we were away and look forward to utilize her services again. We absolutely recommend her for anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring rover sitter!”
11. Lyndi B.
“Lyndi was great! She kept us up to date with photos and reassuring texts throughout our time away. My older dog can be very anxious and shy and he warmed right up to her! We were so please with our experience with Rover and so thankful to have found such a kind, caring, and reliable pet sitter in Lyndi. We will 100% use her again and have actually already booked!”
12. Chloe G.
“Chloe loves animals. She has a cat herself and has taken care of 4 dogs in the house. She had to take care of all of them during a bad season of fleas where she had to wash them numerous times. She is a kind and loving person to her pets but also loves other people's pets. You can't teach this. This is just the way GOD made her.”
13. Anita S.
“Anita was so amazing! She went above and beyond for my dog. Sent lots of updates, was very thorough to follow our instructions and was so kind. My very anxious dog LOVED her. We can’t wait to have her back!”
14. Joel V.
About: I have had dogs my entire life. I love dogs of all kinds. I am here to provide all the attention and care your dogs need. I am a college student, so I certainly have plenty of time to walk and care for your dog. I have a very flexible schedule. I do everything I can to make sure my dog is happy and enjoying life. I take her on a very long walk everyday and make sure she always has a bowl full of water and two high quality meals everyday.
15. Hannah F.
“Hannnah was awesome - she made sure to keep us updated and shared lots of photos of our pups while we were away. Took good care of our home, would absolutely recommend!”
16. Caitie C.
“Caitie is fantastic with my older dog, and handled a medical emergency that involved a trip to the vet with aplomb. She extended her stay to ensure our sweet Stella’s well being, enabling my daughter and me to finish our trip. Highly recommend!”
17. Cole B.
“Cole did an AMAZING job house sitting with our little Leo for 3 days! The updates and pictures were so comforting. We were really able to enjoy our trip knowing Cole was taking such good care of our fur baby! So thankful to have found him!”
18. Claire H.
“Claire was great with our two pups while we out of town and gave us total peace of mind staying at our place! I know they were well cared for and the house was taken care of!”
19. Jordan S.
“Jordan was a fantastic sitter! She took great care of our 10 year old dog while we were gone for 3 nights. Jordan sent us pictures, quick updates and was very proactive about keeping in contact. We'll definitely be reaching out to her again for help with Clara!”
20. Audre H.
“Audre was awesome, communicated well. She took pics of my herd which was amazing because they are scaredy cats and dont come out for anyone. She stayed at my house and left it clean, no complaints at all. Will be totally booking with her again.”
