Nancy was great with our dachshund! She stayed at our house for a long weekend up to the 4th of July and our boy was well taken care of. We rarely leave out but with anyone but family, i am relieved to find a kind and loving person to take care of him outside of that!! She also took care of my moms dog without hesitation!! We will for sure ask her to watch him in the future!!

Jodie and her kiddos took such good care of our golden retriever! She sent a lot of updates and photos. Our house was left in perfect shape and Jodie had great communication. Highly recommend! We will be using Jodie again… Gus will be so excited!

Jessica is great! Our pup has separation anxiety and she goes above and beyond to make him happy while we are away. We will definitely be asking her to watch him again and I highly recommend her services.

Elizabeth is wonderful with dogs! She gets to know them individually and works with them to best suit their needs. My baby always gets excited to see her and Elizabeth always gives her reason to be excited! She is very respectful and responsible, and I trust her completely with my puppy.

Amethyst house sat for our two, including our livestock guardian breed dog, who is very slow to trust people. By the end of the week he was leaning up against her and asking to be pet. She sent lots of photos and kept us informed of her comings and goings. I would gladly recommend her, particularly to those with dogs who aren't friendly to strangers. Our Kuvasz, (like a Great Pyrenees), did great with her as she patiently met with him before our trip and managed him while we were gone.

Jessica worked as an employee of mine at a dog boarding facility. She was easily one of my most reliable and trusted employees. She loves the dogs so much, pays attention to details and noticed of anything was off like not drinking water or eating well. I would trust her to care for my pets and would highly recommend her to anyone!

Allison did a great job house sitting and taking care of Dax at the last minute! She sent lots of updates and photos. The house was very clean too! My only issue was the $20 meet n greet fee which I thought would be deducted from the booking once confirmed. Even though her bio says, “to be modified in the final price once a booking is confirmed” I still thought it meant she would take it off the price upon booking, but she adds it no matter whether you book or not. I’ve used Rover for almost 2 years and never had to pay someone to meet. I also pay fees when booking Rover too…. So it’s part of the program. I, too, lose out on my time if someone meets Dax and decides he’s too big or not a good fit for them. I don’t get paid for my time going to job interviews or when I’ve interviewed babysitters…. So just something to consider.

She was great with our Oscar. We have never let anyone but my kids watch him, she was patient with him and he eventually warmed up to Ash. I would highly recommend her to watch your fur babies.
