June was incredibly patient and loving towards my dog, Nova! Nova takes some time to warm up and trust new people, and June took the time to work with him and make sure he felt comfortable with her. I would happily have her watch Nova again!

Michael did a great job with Shea, he has a lot of anxiety issues and needs someone patient and calm and able to help him relax - and that's exactly what Michael did! He sent pics of Shea looking calm and happy, and I didnt worry at all while I was gone!

Meric made me feel so much better about having to leave my pups! He sent pictures regularly and when I got home, the boys were happy and relaxed! It takes the stress out of having to be away from my dogs.

Victoria was amazing! She took great care of Cody! Cody has anxiety and she was very patient with him until he warmed up to her. She sent lots of picture updates and even help me straiten up my kitchen. She is a very nice and trustworthy person. I will definitely request her again!

My original pet sitter canceled on me and I’m so glad she did! Because of that, I got to work with Heather, who was so kind, communicative and professional. This was my first experience using Rover and Heather made me feel really secure about leaving Teddy at home while I traveled for work. I know he was so much happier with her than he would have been in a boarding situation. I hope to work with Heather again in the future.

Alia was a great overnight sitter for our two dogs (35lbs and 60lbs). She was able to handle them in a pretty dog-packed apartment building and on walks. Both of them enjoyed having her over and warmed up to her quickly.

Edgar came to the rescue when I needed a last minute sitter for my cat Papers. Edgar is a clear animal lover and took the time to understand Papers’ unique personality and needs, as well as provided daily updates with photos which was incredibly assuring. I cannot recommend Edgar’s services enough and will definitely be reaching out next time I have pet sitting needs!

Maddie was incredible with Vespa, my 3 year old foster dog! Maddie was incredibly sweet and caring with Vespa, and Vespa felt so comfortable with her that she curled up next to her, which she never does with new people. Maddie was excellent with communication ahead of the dog sitting and during, and I really appreciated the updates about how she was doing. 14/10 would recommend and would have over again!!

We met a week prior to the sit. Eygeniya arrived on time, seemed very competent and compassionate and I looked forward to her sitting for the crew. Unfortunately , there was torrential rains and she was felt that she would be unable to get out of her neighborhood to get to my house to housesit . Subways were flooded. So, the plans and her sitting were cancelled. I hope we can work out another sitting time for an overnight.
