Kimberly Q. was great! She took very good care of our house and our pup. She sent several photos over the weekend to let us know how happy Rita was. Can’t wait to book her again!

This was our first time using Rover and I was really nervous. Jamie is very kind hearted and our two fur babies enjoyed their time with her. One of our pups usually does not immediately take to people and she went right over to Jamie and visited with her a couple of times during our meet and greet prior to hiring Jamie. Jamie was fine with the instructions we left for feeding, walking, and how to make our fur family feel less stressed by keeping their routine. We already have Jamie scheduled for two more trips we have coming up. Thanks for your help Jamie. ☺️

This is the second time Ellie has watched our senior dog and she was amazing! Honestly I think our dog likes her more than us at this point because she gets so much 1:1 attention. :) She sent us daily updates/photos and was able to give our dog her medications without issue. Our dog can be quite picky which makes us nervous to find dog sitters but we will go with Ellie every time!

Ava was SO AMAZING. She is super responsive and really knows how to take care of dogs. She stayed in our apt for one week and took care of our two dogs. They LOVED her and were having SO much fun playing and going on walks with her. She sent us daily updates, pictures, and videos which really helped with my anxiety as a first time user of rover. We will definitely use her again and you should too!

If there were more stars Danielle would have gotten them. She really is a godsend. Our original sitter had to cancel at the very last moment. Danielle did a phone interview with my sister and I and then came right over after getting off work. Jazzy took to her immediately as did Harli. We received multiple pictures every day and we could see how happy they were with Danielle. I can’t express my gratitude to her. She is just wonderful!

Marco did a wonderful job taking care of our babies over Easter weekend so we could be with our children. Eternally grateful to this young man. We have 3 pups, two of which are very large. Marco was warm and enteractive with them from their initial meeting. He met their energy and quickly established trust. With our little one, he was calm and followed cues, allowing my pup to come to him in his own time. Couldn't ask for more. Will definitely keep Marco in mind for future dog sitting events.

Marla is a natural with my dog! She’s known and pet sat him since he was an puppy and is responsible, kind, and easy to work. She has watched him for short daily visits and a few long term visits of up to a month at a time. My dog always perks up when he sees her, Marla is great at working with animals and you won’t be disappointed!!

Cassie is fantastic! She provides lots of updates and pictures and is great at communicating. She left the house perfectly clean, and our animals weren't even that excited to see us when we got home - it was obvious she had spent a lot of time with them and they were well cared for! It's hard to find a dog sitter that you really trust with your home and pets, but we felt completely at ease knowing Cassie had everything under control. We will absolutely use her again!

August 2023 Consciousness, trustworthy and hardworking, describes both Marcus and Laura. Since arriving at our small farm May 20th this year for a 3-month stay, they have been great to have here. Some of the time we were away, and we never felt concerned about the welfare of the property, chickens, dog or cat. They took care of routine tasks such as feeding the animals, monitoring their health, mowing the lawn, trimming shrubs, monitoring pool chemistry, and weed whacking. They are industrious, for example completely transforming shrubbery overwhelmed with Virginia creeper and honeysuckle vines had taken over. Whatever task was assigned, they jumped in and completed it. Marcus helped restore an old tobacco barn by installing trusses, purlins and metal roof. He has repaired both wooden and wire fences, operated zero turn mowers and various other farm equipment. But what has been most comforting is the 100% trust we have in their character. Their quiet demeanor and sincere honesty coupled with their stellar work ethic has made our summer remarkable. While we went away for an extended trip, they took care of our property and pets. We felt confident that the property and pets would be maintained & in order upon our return. Additionally, we had the utmost confidence that would let us know of any concerns in our absence. Our dog happily stayed with them on several occasions when we were away, and she can be a bit fussy with a change in routine. She greets them with such joy when she sees them. The chickens don’t know we’re gone but we know they are well cared for in our absence. The outdoor cat doesn’t skip a beat, nor mind when we’re gone. She’s a cat after all. We have a pool and they’ve been reliable with maintenance, as well as pressure washing deck and tending to the pool space. They have taken on landscaping tasks such as mulching trees, clearing fence rows, creating a stone garden, reclaiming overgrown woods & garden maintenance. They are trustworthy, honest & reliable to the commitments we agreed to. We absolutely recommend them for outside work and care of beloved pets. Tim & Jayne Wabee Farm Hurdle Mills, NC
