Jennifer was amazing with our old boy! She provided thorough and timely updates, I never had to wonder how Pugsley was doing and if he was behaving. We came home to a tidy home and a very happy dog! We can’t wait to have the opportunity to work with Jennifer again.

Gail was awesome- We had a last minute need to find someone and we are so grateful we found Gail. Our dog and kitties took to her right away in our meet and greet.. and we felt at ease when we needed to leave for the weekend. She kept us up to date on our pets the entire time. The house was nice and tidy and left us some nice treats and we felt like we had left our pets with family and our pets were doing great. Thank you Gail!!

Brenda was great to work with! She was available on short notice and made herself available to come by our house to meet Lola and get acquainted with everything before house sitting for the weekend. She was very communicative and took great care of Lola and the house. I will be scheduling her again in the future and highly recommend to anyone else!

This is my first time using Rover and Jordyn exceeded my expectations. Jordyn was the perfect fit for my two French bulldogs. She always communicated throughout the day to let me know how they were doing & even sent photos. I would highly recommend her and I look forward to using her again for our next trip.

Becca is a very responsible, trusting, kind caregiver. She took care of our two dogs for 8 days in our home and we returned to very well cared for happy dogs and a very well cared for home. We have always boarded our dogs and this was our first time using a in-home service. We couldn’t have had a better experience. I’ve already asked Becca if she is available for two more of our upcoming trips this year. 5 stars

Karina stayed at our house for two weeks, watching our dogs and cats while we were away on vacation. During our entire time away she was very communicative and shared plenty of photos! She made sure we knew our animals were well taken care of the entire time sharing details of walks and feedings. When we came back all the animals were happy and the house was spotless and in an even better condition than when we had left it. If you are looking for somebody to take care of your animals, Karina is an excellent choice.

Absolutely fantastic care and professionalism for our pets. Kind, caring and detail oriented. Great with both dogs and cats. They made our vacation special because we could see how well the pets were cared for — their wonderful, regular communication was superb! I highly recommend and would love to use their services again.
