1. Lauren L.

“Lauren was super responsive and took great care of our very energetic 2 1/2 year old German Shepherd. Our dog was very well cared for and happy with two daily walks and feeding. I recommend Lauren and give her 5 stars for a green job.”


2. Rebecca L.

“I needed someone to check in on my dogs while I was at a meeting for a couple of days in DC because I had a long commute each day. I met Rebecca & immediately knew she would be perfect. Her thoughtfulness and kindness to my dogs was so lovely, she took the time to try & get to know them as, this was their first interaction with her. She sent pictures & provided detailed updates that I appreciated. I would definitely recommend her & will absolutely use her again!”


3. Kristen H.

“Kristen has been so amazing with Sulley! He is normally hesitant around new people and he took to her so quickly! She is great at playing with him and respects my instructions. She is empathetic and goes beyond to help — even my sweet four year old cat who is afraid of everyone immediately walked out to greet her! She is going to be a regular visitor for Sulley and myself. ❤️”


4. Jacqueline C.

“Jacqueline was awesome. Our dogs loved her, she keep us up to date on what was going on and even let us know how the roads were. She played with the dogs and they seemed to be happy to see her. Highly recommend her. She even drove in a snow storm!”


5. Karolina C.

“Karolina is amazing. She took great care of our dog while we were out and made sure to take pictures each time she came to let him out!”


6. Heather I.

“Heather has done an amazing job with my pup Courage. Since he's so young, i have her dropping by twice a day while I am at work, and she sends me video and photo updates of my pup. Courage seems to be warming up to her and I appreciate that he's in good hands.”


7. Ashley J.

“Ashley was wonderful! We have 3 cats, 2 of whom are pretty new, and our oldest girl who isn't happy with us, so needless to say we were nervous about them behaving with new folks. Ashley was exactly the right person to visit our fur babies. She kept us informed twice a day, and included photos. In fact, when we'd read the report, we wondered if our cats had been abducted or replaced by aliens! We trust Ashley completely and wouldn't hesitate to rebook with her or to recommend her.”


8. Hailey S.

“I hate that Micki is being so stubborn, but appreciate Hailey taking the time with her on her drop in visits. Jack smiles from ear to ear in all her pictures she sends.”


9. Dianne F.


“Dianne gave our pup the VIP treatment! She went above and beyond our expectations for drop in visits. She treated him with special Santa treats for Christmas! I felt comfortable knowing I was leaving him in good hands. She included videos in her Rover cards and was on time, every time. Blu can’t wait to see her again soon!”


10. Mary Jane K.

“Mary Jane was very responsive to questions. She was very caring and thorough with both of my cat's care. I will definitely use her again to watch them.”


11. Jessica O.

“Jessica did a wonderful job with our one-year old indoor cats Artie and Roo. She was attentive and played lovingly with them, and even kept the litter box immaculate on top of simply ensuring they always had water and food. We'd hire Jessica again in a heartbeat!”


12. Michael P.

“Michael was great with my cat and dog. My dog had separation anxiety issues and let me know whenever she did do a little damage and gave her a walk to help her. He was very attentive with their needs. I would use him again!”


13. Haven D.

“Haven did a great job, even though Lucy was a picky little girl about taking her medicine. She managed to get both the medicine and the food in her despite Lucy not wanting much of either--no easy feat!”


14. Isabel H.
About: Currently a Vet Assistant. I have become familiar with the body language of dogs and cats of all sizes. Coworkers have relied on me to spend time with their own pets for as little as a few hours to a few days. I always do my best to make sure your pets are as comfortable as I care for them. I have plenty of time on Saturdays and Sundays to play with, watch, or walk your pets as you need. Whether you need me to stop in or have an extended visit! I will maintain open communication and send pictures with how your pets is doing. I will always check to see if there are any hazards before leaving and follow instructions for your pets that you might have.


15. Briana H.

“I had a very positive experience with my first time using Rover. It was great to not have to worry about my pets because they were being cared for. I would definitely book with Bri again.”


16. Lindsey J.

“Lindsey is extremely kind, prompt and very meticulous about her work with animals. Our dogs both enjoyed their time with her, especially our boy Max who was treated to a walk to his favorite location in Martinsburg. We are looking forward to future visits with Lindsey, and would definitely recommend her. 😊”


17. Kathryn S.

“I feel so fortunate to have found Kathryn! Im normally very tentative to leave my furbabies and she made sure I had pictures and notes for each visit. I was able to relax and enjoy my time away. I hope to need her again!”


18. Amy J.
“Amy is very wonderful with pets, I have asked her to watch over my cats while I was away from home. She took really good care of my cats and she treated them like family. I would highly recommend her to watch over anyone pets.”


19. Tara K.
“Tara did wonderful with my dog when she cared for him while I was away. She gave him lots of walks (he needs 3 a day because of his activity level) as well as play time inside and lots of pets. Anytime she comes to care for him, he’s excited and eager to see her. Also sent pictures throughout my time away of him and what they were doing. Couldn’t suggest anyone better!”


20. Mikayla S.
“Mikayla is the best option for you when it comes to your pets. Mikayla is responsive and attentive to every pet's needs and willing to put your pet before her.
