Danielle is amazing! She is extremely professional and communicative. She met up with me before the trip and took great care of my cat, Ellie. Ellie can be shy and cautious of new people but Danielle took her time and gave her lots of love, space, and patience. Can’t wait to book with her again!

Katie was amazing! She is so communicative and clear. I had an issue with my automatic feeder and she saved the day with ease. She was so great with my cat, he loved her. Will definitely work with Katie again and I do recommend her.

Penny was fantastic doing drop in visits and walks for my two dogs! They are a rambunctious pair and she seemed to handle it all with ease. Plan to utilize her services again in the future if she's game!

Mitch went above and beyond caring for our animals while we were away for the holidays and was even flexible with adding an extra day when we decided to extend our trip. Super sweet with our animals and took great care of our home. Would definitely recommend!

Liz was incredible with our older dog. She was always there on time, even early during his morning visits. She brought treats and sent so many adorable photos of how well he was doing while we were away. I would absolutely use Liz again in the future. What a gem!

Sloan will do a great job taking care of your pets, she is responsible and really loves all pets! She has watched my two cats and axolotl multiple times and I’ve always been so happy she was there. Sloan takes great care of the animals and communicates with you as well. I’ve also seen how much she loves her own dogs and all the care she provides for them. Sloan goes above and beyond for animals and I can’t recommend her enough to watch your pets!

Honestly could not say better things about Rhiana. This was my first time using Rover, and I’m glad I got her as my first cat-sitter! She kept me updated everyday with pictures. My boys seemed to really like her 🥺 I expected them to be skiddish and run away, but they did not! My cats can sense when people have good intentions, and they were very trusting of her. I would definitely hire her again!

Briana is so enthusiastic and caring for our boys. Our dogs love her and she went above and beyond to provide night relief, treats, and care during a particularly challenging summer when our old dog needed her the most. She is a true professional and I'd trust her with my dogs and house any time!

Kellar took care of our 5 fish tanks, including saltwater, freshwater, and brackish, while we were away and is an amazing pet caregiver! I got great updates and photos with the daily Rover Cards. I even saved some of the photos because they were so good. Kellar seemed interested and showed enthusiasm during the meet and greet which gave me peace of mind before the sit even began. Kellar asks questions as they arise and is a good communicator. I would recommend their services to anyone who needs pet care and will definitely be requesting their services again in the future.

Carolyn was incredible! She was communicative, helpful, and clearly very experienced with animals. She took wonderful care of my 2 cats and dealt with my cat who is newly on anxiety medication (and doesn’t take nicely to having a stranger stuff a pill down his throat) so well!! I would absolutely use her again the next time I go out of town! :)
