Rachelle did a great job watching my dog at my home for the weekend. She handled some walk difficulties my pup gave her very well, and I came home to a well cared for dog. Will use again.

Timothy was the perfect sitter for my boy Marvin! You know they had a great week together when your dog is crying and looking all over the house for Timothy when he left! I knew he was in good hands based on the pictures and updates. Timothy also was the perfect house guest, looking after all my things, following my instructions, and ensuring everything was clean and orderly upon my return! So very pleased, he is now my definite go-to caretaker!

Emily was great! She was very communicative and helpful. It was easy to set up a meet and greet and our cat got comfortable with her quickly. Our cat and our house were well cared for. Would definitely ask her to sit again!

Emily was so great with my English bulldog Bowie! She house sat for a week and was very communicative every day, sending me updates and pictures- total peace of mind while I was on a work trip. He’s not an easy personality sometimes but she handled him like a pro. Not only that, but she was flexible when plans changed and left my house perfectly spotless. Woikd definitely use Emily again!!

Alona watched over my two dogs while I was away on a work trip, and she was great with communicating/sending updates with cute pictures. She was also flexible and understanding when timing needed to change a little, and asked great questions during our neet and greet. Definitely would recommend her and will be asking her to stay with them again!

Justin took great care of our pups and our house while we were out of the country. We wanted to have someone that would actually hang out at the house most of the time and play with the dogs (and make sure they didn’t destroy the house :) and he did just as we requested. Thanks Justin!

Allison was a great house and pet sitter. She provided regular updates and when I got home my apartment was clean and my doggy was happy. My dog is reactive which makes me nervous when I leave her with sitters but Allison was reassuring and I was glad Mae had no issues.

Billie made my first experience with Rover a seamless and stressless experience. From the meet and greet to the way she continuously updated me via messages, to the way she left the apartment I never worried and my dog Maybe had a great time with her! Will be using her in the future!

Navya is AMAZING. This is her second time watching my cat, and this time there was an emergency in my building that caused evacuation and she ensured my cat was safe and even thought about stepping away from the building due to the sirens and grabbing extra food in case there was a longer issue. I cannot thank her enough. I came back to a clean apartment and well cared for cat. I highly recommend.

Mark was great with our dogs! Took them all around town, and spent some time to win over our nervous younger dog. He took fine pup pictures as well. He took good care of the house.

Leslie was amazing to work with and she was amazing with Ruxin. He gets so nervous when we leave on a trip, and we came home this time to see him full of smiles, tail wagging. She loved on him well, and went above and beyond. We'll be getting a hold of Leslie again soon!

Mia was the best! It was the longest I had left my 14 year old doggo - 2 weeks overseas in a very different time zone. She sent updates every day and Carlos (my dog) seemed so, so happy and content. Mia left everything clean and tidy - I will definitely be booking her again!

I could not recommend Ann G. more! She watched my 8 month old puppy for 4 days and did an amazing job! She took my pup on many long walks and texted me updates/pics all the time. She was very communicative, gave my pup plenty of socialization, and was in tune with his needs. If you need someone to watch you dog, you definitely want Ann G.

I had such a great experience booking Michael to dog sit my 3yr German Shepherd Moondog at my apartment. Michael cared for my dog perfectly, sent frequent updates, kept my apartment clean, and was super friendly. Michael will definitely be my first choice for dog sitting in the future. Thanks Michael!

Knowing our high maintenance pup was with Sarah was such a relief! She sent updates throughout the night with great pics, followed all of our instructions, and kept our senior dog comfortable and happy! I feel so lucky we found Sarah! She has set a high bar for future dog sitters!
