1. Lusianna M.
“Lusianna has been so patient and lovely with Minerva ! I enjoyed my trip out of the state knowing she was taking good care of her!”
2. Julia B.
“We love Julia! Julia has taken care of our 6 month old Lab puppy, Kash, our 4 year old outdoor/indoor cat, Boo & our newest addition a 2 month old kitten, Charlie! Julia is always on time and pays close attention to detail and gives our companions all her attention. As you can imagine it can be crazy with three different ages each pet needs different things from food amounts, types of food, and exercise needs- Julia keeps it straight! We have used Julia several times for drop ins as well as overnight stays! She will always be our first choice!”
3. Jenny C.
“Jenny was great! My puppy, Evie, took to her immediately. She arrived on time and followed all of our instructions. I’d be very happy to have her watch Evie at any time.”
4. Jillian H.
“Detail oriented, thorough, kind, excellent planning and foresight, just awesome! This was my first Rover experience at the time of my booking I had an elderly dog and three cats, we had not gone on vacation in years due to our dog having arthritis and other health issues, but we had gotten her to a point where she was doing really well and we felt we could leave her with someone. I needed someone who could administer meds, live at the house and be otherwise highly attentive to her needs and our cats. I had about given up on some of the people I’d spoken with on Rover, I just didn’t feel comfortable with anyone. Enter Jillian. In our initial texts I got a very positive vibe and immediately liked her. We hadn’t even met yet but I could tell she was a gem. When she came to the house to meet our pets she was aces and again I instinctively knew she was going to be great. Since our meeting our dog very suddenly passed away and when I let Jillian know her response was compassionate and she gave me some time to figure out what we would do. When we spoke again we decided on two visits a day for the cats and she sprang into action to adjust our booking. Jillian was every bit as great as I knew she would be and even surpassed my expectations. This woman is thorough, she thinks ahead, she looks to solve issues even before they happen. We had a snow storm while we were gone and she made sure she got to the house. We received daily photos of all of the cats, who by the way hide from strangers all the time, but not Jillian! I think she’s a cat whisperer of some sort. She was on time for her visits, left the place clean, took her shoes off to walk around the house, so thoughtful!! On prior vacations when I’ve left my pets I always notice they’re a little ‘off’ when I return, not with Jillian. They were very much themselves which speaks volumes. I highly highly highly recommend her. We are already booking another trip because this was the first time in years that I really relaxed and didn’t feel any worry about the pets.”
