Monica was great! Such a relief to get detailed updates on my cat each day as I was away on vacation. She took excellent care of him and made sure our place was clean when she left (litter box + carpet spot cleanings, plus she watered our plants). She's very sweet and you can tell a natural animal lover. I would definitely book her again!

First time using Rover and jenevieve made everything so easy for us! She watched our boy milo for the week and went above and beyond for us! Milo looked as if he was missing us and so she took Milo over to her own home so Milo could play it with her pups and even got to stay the night! We appreciate everything she has done. Highly recommend this lady here!

Kassy has been helping taking care of our animals for years. She has bathed and walked my pitbull. Her help with our foster animals has been invaluable. She has also watched our two cats. We will definitely be booking her through Rover!

I have known Cory and his spouse for a long time. They are caring, loving, a sweet couple. Both love and care for their animals as if they were their children. They are hardworking and strive to give 100 percent to anything that they are working at. I would trust them with my own sweet dog and my very life.

Andrea has been amazing, our dogs can be a lot and be very hyper. She plays fetch, gives them water and feeds them breakfast. She even takes the time to clean up if our dogs manage to escape out of the kennel and make a mess ( they counter surf). She Leaves a report card every time and sends lots of pics with just the hour she’s at our house. I would recommended Andrea 10/10!

Nichole is amazing! She was great at communicating when we were setting everything up and our cat warmed up to her very quickly; they were already cuddling by the second day! We were really able to enjoy our vacation knowing that Nichole was taking care of our boy!

Kayla is very easy to work with. She is very patient and plays with our young puppy when she comes over. She sends a cute picture every time, and is helping us teach basic commands to our rescue dog. I would definitely recommend booking Kayla to watch your animals.

Megan was fantastic! She was a lifesaver as one of our cats requires insulin injections twice a day but no one would board her. Megan was communicative (sent pictures with each check in) and detail-oriented as the directions I left were quite lengthy. She even brought in a package that was delivered while we were gone. I will definitely book Megan again!

I am also a successful Rover provider. And I 3ahave known Dee and her dog Joe for nearly 10 years. She has a great connection with Joe. I have known her to take excellent care of Joe and they are nearly inseparable. Dee has cared for my dog, Sparky, on more than 1 occasion. I trust that she will love him and be attentive to his needs. I also know that Sparky will enjoy car rides and very long walks. I am free of worry about him when he is with Dee. I highly recommend Dee as a caregiver for your dog. They will be well cared for and very well loved.

Katie is THE BEST with my senior kitty! I always feel comfortable leaving my cat with her when I’m gone. She’s very responsible and gives my cat lots of attention and makes sure she’s well taken care of. She’s my go-to when I need a pet sitter.
