I was nervous about leaving my baby with anyone, but after our meet and greet I was very comfortable leaving Bella with Lori. Bella immediately connected with Lori. I will definitely have her stay with Bella again.

Abby was incredibly wonderful with our high energy, often mischievous Weimaraner! We were able to enjoy a family vacation knowing our pup was loved and cared for by a true pet lover! She sent daily pictures and updates keeping us posted on their activities back home. We can’t wait to have her back! We’re grateful for Abby!

Jessica was an amazing house sitter. The boys got spoiled with her and she was so loving to them. Hey miss her already. She was very prompt with communication. We plan on using her again in the future. Thank you Jessica!!

Torina was excellent at caring for my 2 dogs over the weekend. Our dogs have different activity levels and needs, and she was great with both of them. She sent lots of pictures while we were away and left the house clean. I've already booked her again for another stay:)

Jenna is a genuine joy. Her immensely warm demeanor and professional presence made us feel incredibly comfortable leaving our crew of silly misfits in her care during our first partnership with Rover. Responsible, respectful and a real pleasure to work only begins to describe her and her gift of service. We are truly blessed to consider her to be a member of our pack. Thank you for you, Jenna! 💜

Madi was fantastic! Wrigley is a high energy dog and he got daily trips to the dog park and even a trip to the pet store. We really appreciated the daily updates and photos. The house was spotless when we got home and Wrigley seemed very happy! This was our first time with a sitter and we were pretty nervous since our dog has separation anxiety, however with Madi here I don’t think he even realized we were gone. We’re already adding Madi to the calendar for next time, and would recommend them again and again!!!

We hired Jessica for the first time to pet/house sit our 11 year old golden retriever. She was excellent! She came over prior to meet us and our dog. She communicates well, giving us updates 2-3 times/day; she sent lots of adorable pictures as well! She washed her sheets/towels (without being instructed to) and left the house neat and tidy. Our dog seemed happy when we returned. We would definitely recommend her and will hire her in the future.

Alex took care of Marshal and Mojo while I was taking care of my husband in the hospital. He walked, fed, and played with two large breed dogs at a very stressful time in my life. Alex was trustworthy, punctual and loving when taking care of my dogs. He was always willing to do more and payed attention to detail with the dogs and my home the multiple times a day he cared for them during this time. I highly recommend Alex if you’re looking for peace of mind when needing someone to care for your pets.

James is an outstanding pet parent. When I met James, he had a Labrador retriever named Albert. He had adopted Albert as a puppy. Albert was the best cared for pet ever! Albert just passed here recently at the impressive age of 14. He has also pretty pet sat for my Akita, Cash was a puppy mill rescue. I adopted him at about a year old and he was super under socialized and extremely fearful with strangers. James was wonderfully patient with Cash in giving him both the space and the nudges he needed. Rover would be fortunate to get James as part of your team
