Iain was a wonderful pet sitter for our two dogs and cat. They were very friendly and easy to communicate with when setting up a meet & greet. They made sure our pets and our apartment were well taken care of while we were away — they were respectful of our care instructions and cleaned up before they left. I would 100% recommend Iain as a pet sitter and will definitely be a returning client!

Sabrina was very kind and patient with Aelin. I will book her once we’re ready to try babysitting at our place again. Would recommend Sabrina to others :)

We had a great experience with Megan dog sitting in our home. She came over for a meet and greet before the stay and navigated a logistically complicated situation where we had to split the stay between two sitters. Our pup Brodie took to Megan right away. She was able to administer medication to Brodie and sent us wonderful updates all weekend. She even went above and beyond to wash and fold our bedsheets! We’d love to have Megan back to watch Brodie.

Kyra was incredible! She was reliable and provided consistent updates/pictures throughout the night. This was our first time using Rover, and Kyra provided a seamless experience. We are looking forward to booking with her again and would recommend her to anyone looking for a dog sitter that will care and even brush your fur baby!!

Paul did a great job caring for my dog and communicating while I was out of town. Having a large dog finding proper care has always been a concern, but with Paul there was no reason to worry! He provided regular updates, was responsive at all times of the booking, and took great care of my dog. 10/10!

Stiles is INCREDIBLE! We first connected in May ‘23 and have used Stiles countless times since. They are amazing with our 3 year old Great Dane, Dagger. We come home every time to a happy, healthy and tired pup. Stiles is always in communication with us- sending updates and pictures. We first connected after Dagger had surgery and we had to go out of town the following weekend- since then, we’ve never hired anyone else. We feel so thankful and lucky to have found Stiles! Thank you for all you do for Daggy :)

Gabby was great with our large (80+lbs), energetic Boxer. She stayed almost a week, and we came home to a happy, tired dog, and a clean apartment. Gabby was professional, communicative, and respectful; she did a great job caring for both our pup and home!

May was terrific! She house-sat for my cat and energetic 5-year old Husky. She took my Husky on several walks and sent me many pictures, videos and updates to let me know that everyone was doing well. I will definitely be requesting May again if I need someone to watch and care for my dog! She's great!

Kelly did an awesome job dog sitting our pup. It was the first time we’ve left him since we got him and she made us feel at ease over the weekend when she was with him. She took Katsu to his favorite dog park and you could tell how happy and comfortable he was with her from all the photos she sent. We’ll definitely plan on booking with Kelly again next time we head out of town!

River did an amazing job watching our two girls while we were on a long vacation. After having a couple bad experiences with prior sitters on Rover not actually staying with our dogs it was such a relief having River as she definitely stayed with them and clearly loved on them!! We have one very nervous old lady and River was able to quickly win her over. She also told us about any accidents (which we anticipated as we have a puppy and an elderly dog) she cleaned everything and the house smelled amazing when we came home after a long day of travel. I think this is the first time we’ve come home from a trip and our dogs were somewhat unfazed by our return - clearly they really enjoyed their time with River and always felt safe and sound at home :) We are already planning on asking River to stay again in a month!

William was very accommodating to take care of our dog in our home for 2 days with a day’s notice when we suddenly had to leave town for a funeral. He was calm and understanding about a number of challenges that came up with our puppy and our puppy showed a lot of affection for him by napping with his head on William’s feet. We found the home as we left it. We would definitely hire him again.
