Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Abilene
I was so nervous about leaving my fur baby for the first time since she travels everywhere with me. Phoenix did an amazing job, and keeping me updated every day gave me such peace of mind. You are amazing, and I will definitely recommend you to anyone who needs a sitter. Thanks again for everything!
My previous sitter canceled unexpectedly, but she stepped in quickly and was very responsive and communicative. She took excellent care of Gigi, provided regular updates, and followed her feeding schedule perfectly. She did a great job, and I’ve already rebooked her for next time. I would definitely recommend her!
Abigail is amazing! She took such great care of my dog and treated him as if he were her pet. She was very responsive and communicative, sharing photos and updates while I was away. She is so kind, and it’s no wonder my dog was sad to leave when I picked him up! I can’t say enough good things about Abigail, and how comfortable I felt knowing my pet was in great hands.
Immediately i picked up Rosie, i knew she was well cared for. She seemed happy, relaxed, and healthy. Amanda kept me updated and was prompt in responding, she respected Rosie's routine and kept it. I was impressed by how she handled Rosie's anxiety to a new place. ( She left you her paw prints in your couches😭😿 I'm sorry) Amanda is amazing!!! Thank you again.

During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
