“Tiffany went above and beyond without 4 dogs and our chickens; Tiffany came ahead time and did an overnight stay to ensure it would be manageable and she crushed it- her experience with watching epileptic dogs previously really grabbed my attention to want to hire her and her experience with epileptic pups put me more at ease with our epileptic German shepherd- Tiffany had a plan for if she had to go to the emergency vet and reassured us everyday with photos and snippets of the daily happenings :) We did not have to worry with Tiffany as our pup watched and we highly recommend her! All of our animals are so happy and our house somehow maintained cleanliness which is not easy- so Tiffany must have been cleaning up too 🌟 above and beyond”

“Ludovic was so awesome with my fur babies. He sent videos making me feel at ease leaving our dogs with him all day. He is very kind and very clean while he stayed in are RV and watched the dogs. Would definitely be using Ludovic again to watch our fur babies zuko and koko. Thank you so much !!!”

“Cortney watched our cat and dog for 12 nights and came home to a tidy home and happy pets! She was gracious enough to stay an extra night for us when we missed our flight and were stranded in another city for a night. Thank you Cortney!!!”

“Woody is the best! We think our dogs might like her more than us! We always know they are in the best care, getting so much love and engagement. Woody is also very clean, tidy, and takes care of our home, which is always so appreciated.”

“Amazing. Jeffery stepped in at the last minute when my trip was unexpectedly extended. He did such a great job with my dogs. Was extremely communicative and sent lots of pictures. I’ve struggled with some of the sitters on Rover so it was refreshing to have someone who cared and followed through”

“Cienne took great care of my pups! She stayed at my home and sent lots of updates which I love. My girls looked very happy and comfortable. Will definitely have her over again!”

“Jillian stayed over at my house to watch my dogs while I was away. She was attentive, quick to respond, and sent lots of pictures. I'll be booking with her again!”

“Mary is awesome! She's very communicative and gives our dogs the extra attention they need while we're away. She's very reliable and really came through when my travel plans home were cancelled unexpectedly and she was able to extend her stay for an extra day.”


“Melissa is an absolute angel! She took the best care of our two little girls. She was super communicative, asked great questions, and went above and beyond to ensure our girls were well taken care of and we were anxiety-free. So grateful!! Thank you, Melissa!! ❤️”

“Jarir was absolutely amazing with Oly, I am pretty sure he likes her more than me now. She sent daily updates, and introduced Oly to new activities which he loved. I would absolutely love to use her services in the future.”

“Melondy was extremely communicative and thoughtful during her stay with Layla. She made sure she came over right on time, sent me regular updates on how Layla was doing and followed the pet care instructions to the letter. Additionally she was respectful of our space and left the house spotless! I would absolutely book again!”


“Christine has been a great sitter for my two dogs- one who can be very slow to trust sitters and she always keeps me informed with pictures and dogs are happy!”

“Priscila was absolutely wonderful! She took great care of Reggie while staying at our house for a week and kept us updated with lots of pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind. We came home after our trip to a clean house and a very happy dog. Would absolutely recommend her and will gladly book with her again!”

“Will 100% book another house sitting with Steven! I do not leave my anxious and timid Chihuahua with just anyone. She requires time to get to know people before trusting them. I was leaving for a day trip and needed someone to stay with my girl. Steve was easy to book and communicative throughout the entire process. We had a couple hours of overlap between me leaving and him coming in to take care of her. Within the first few minutes of meeting him and discussing her needs, I could tell he was going to be able to win my pup over. He kept me updated and let me know how she was doing at several points. It was so reassuring to have an attentive individual keep her happy and let me be worry-free for my trip. Thanks, Steven, for your patience and I appreciate you being so warm towards my pup! If you have a rescue pup, like mine, and are nervous about who to leave them with, Steven is your guy!”

“Jena was wonderful with our cat, dog, and lizard! She kept everyone happy and healthy, and was communicative. She asked great questions at our meet and greet before our trip and our animals were very comfortable with her. She didn't hesitate to reach out to me with a concern we may not have left enough food and we were able to problem solve. Our house was well cared-for and she gave us great peace of mind.”

I almost didn’t want to leave a review because I’d love to keep Aleksi to ourselves 😊, but he is one of the best Rovers we’ve ever had. I’m always nervous leaving Woody with anyone, and Aleksi made me feel completely at ease from start to finish. His communication was fantastic, the updates were thoughtful, and he took amazing care of both Woody and our home. We came home to a happy dog, a spotless house, and total peace of mind. I can’t recommend Aleksi highly enough and would book with him again in a heartbeat!

Mo is so incredibly thoughtful and kind. He is great with our 12.5 year old boxer. He keeps up with her medication schedule, sent plenty or updates and pictures, and is just super communicative overall. With this being our second house/pet sitting experience with Mo, I can definitely say he is our new go to. Couldn’t recommend him more.

We could not be happier with the incredible care our dog received from Marley! From start to finish, she was so responsible and communicative, keeping us updated the entire time we were away. It gave us total peace of mind knowing our dog as so well loved, safe, and happy. We also came home to a clean house which is so nice. Highly recommend Marley!

Natalie stayed at our house and took incredible care of our puppy, Peach! She was communicative, sent daily photos, and cared for/trained/played with Peach perfect. She also kept our house in perfect condition. We highly recommend her to any Rover dog owners! 🐶 🍑
