“I can’t say enough good things about our experience with Jennifer! From the start, she was incredibly accommodating, even when I had a last-minute schedule change. She treated Biscuit like he was part of her own family, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. It was clear that Biscuit was not only well cared for but also truly loved. I’m so grateful to have found someone as kind and flexible as Jennifer — we will absolutely be back!”
“Caitlin was a wonderful pet sitter for my cats. She did a great job taking care of my cats. She was in constant communication with me and sending me pictures and videos. I really recommend her. Thanks Caitlin!!!”
“Miriam and Terrell are the sweetest ever! They send so many photos and videos so that you can see what your pet is doing. They like to do meet and greets so that you know where your pet is staying and they have tons of toys and treats for your dog so they feel right at home. They do daily out side breaks and Miriam works from home so you’ll have eyes on your pets 24/7. Both are them are so extremely sweet and treated my dog with such love and care I couldn’t ask for a better sitter and I could truly tell that my dog was loved for and taken care of to the best of his ability. They also give little report cards for your dog which is the cutest thing ever so you can see when they went outside, when they ate, when and what the played with and overall what your dog did over their stay. Truly recommend their services as they did an amazing job!”

“Peggy was Wonderful with Appa. She loves dogs and I believe that she took care of him very well. When I went too pick him up he was showing affection to her and to her husband despite he had not seeing me for 12 days. That was a great sign for me that he was in good care. She sent me texts and pictures of Appa constantly. She was Fantastic!!! I am very grateful of how nice she was. I will recommend her and I will leave Appa again with her. She has been the best pet sitter I have seen in Rover.”

Her family also loved on our dogs which was so comforting to know as well. Thank you so much!!!”
“It was our first time using Rover, and Norma & Kane made it a great one! They took care of my baby on a last minute notice and sent me photos and updates everyday. My baby was sad leaving his new found friends when I picked him up. Definitely gained my trust and will be my go-to people for my Blue every time we need the help :)”
