Sarah is fantastic. She communicates well and I feel confident letting her watch my two girls at our house overnight. She always leaves the house like she found it and the girls are happy so I am happy. Sarah is a go-to sitter for us!

We came home to very happy pups after Maria watched them! She made sure they were well taken care of and sent plenty of pictures while we were away. Not only were the dogs cared for, she took good care of the house as well. She really put our mind at ease and we will be calling her again!

I have know Jennay since she was very little. She was my neighbor, as when she got older she often came over to help with yard work and taking care of my critters. The animals loved her, she was kind and obviously loved them too! She was not afraid to do the dirty work (scooping poop) or the fun stuff like grooming. She helped with horses, dogs, donkey and goat and was great with all. I work with a non-profit that provides equine assisted therapy, and Jennay volunteered to assist at several of our kids camps. She is as good with kids as she is with critters! I would not hesitate to put my furry family in her care!

Megan did an amazing job watching my boy. We both tend to be nervous when we aren’t together and she did an amazing job making sure we were both comfortable. I will definitely be using her again in the near future!

1st. Using Rover and we were so blessed for being able to meet Emma. She made it so easy to interact and communicate thru the app. The fur babies just loved her. Emma truly has a gift for the ability to communicate with our babies. Not only was this the 1st time to use Rover / Emma. It was the first time in years we have taken time away from home without a family member staying behind to take care of the pets. I have had Bully bread dogs for over 40 years. Multiple at a time. (currently we have Stella (BullMastiff/American Bulldog mix), Jake (BullMastiff / Cane Corso), Charlie (American Pitbull), Teddy (Yorkie), and Bambi (French Bulldog puppy), oh and nots forget Olie the cat. When you have this mix of personalities, moods , jealousy it takes a special person to walk into that dynamic for the first time and pull it off. Emma thank you very much you did great. Until next time ?

I’ve known Vianna for close to 16 years and she has always enjoyed the company of animals. Recently, she started working with me at Ames Pet Resort where she has excelled. She does a thorough job to make sure all of the animals in our care are happy and healthy. She has two cats of her own which are spoiled and loved beyond belief. She would do a great job taking care of your furry friends and I highly recommend her.

Taylor did a wonderful job with our dog. He is usually nervous around strangers, but Taylor made him feel at ease right away. She sent us updates and photos throughout our trip and I did not worry about him at all. Taylor cared for him very well, including administering twice daily medication. I absolutely would rebook and would also recommend Taylor to care for your dog.

Jordyn is an amazing petsitter! She spent so much time and energy making sure my cats had plots and lots of playtime, outside time (supervised in the backyard), and were well fed. She sent tons of great photos and proactively kept me informed of everything going on. Jordyn also took great care of the household duties, getting the trash out on time and the mail in. You'd be lucky to get to hire her!
