“Shafika is amazing! My pups are not the easiest, but she handled them beautifully. And they love her so much! Even my one pup who is slow to warm up was out and about with her and slept with her every night. I got great reports throughout the day and soooooo many pics! I am a natural born worrier, but I had a great time on vacation knowing they were in such capable, loving hands! And to top it off, the house was clean when I got home! I can’t say enough great things about Shafika!!!”


“Joanne was excellent! She kept our babies (dogs) at our house for a week. She pampered them and gave them the best care. I’m so grateful to have found her through Rover. I’ve already requested another booking with her. She’s the best!!!”


“This was my first experience booking with rover, and it was a great experience! Emily was amazing!! She did overnights in my home for 23 days! She took great care of my cats and bird. From the first meet and greet, my cats gravitated towards her. The cats are younger, less than a year old, and this is the first time I was going to be away from them for an extended period of time. Emily definitely put my mind at ease. She was very pleasant and professional. She truly enjoys being around animals and mine truly enjoyed her. She communicated with me frequently and sent pictures & videos of them often. They were all so happy and well taken care of. She even befriended my temperamental, old, little parrot and he was sitting on her shoulder by the end of her stay. I highly recommend her for any of your pet sitting needs. I already have her booked for a future stay!”


“I booked Elicia for house sitting, she was very nice and as far as I can tell did a great job taking care of my animals and house while we were gone! My only critique is that I wish I would’ve received some pictures over the weekend, but I know she did fine with the pups and my cat☺️”


“Olivia did a wonderful job keeping my dog and housesitting for a few days. She gave lots of great updates and sent photos too. It was such a relief to know my pup and my home were in good hands.”


“I would recommend Andrew to anyone and have no reservations booking him again. My two adult pitbulls adore Andrew. I'm borderline concerned that they like him more than me. Andrew was in contact with me everyday I was away. He sent videos and photos as well as exact times when they started and ended walks. Additionally Andrew asked permission before doing things. Despite being a fairly relaxed person with people using the amenities, I truly appreciated Andrew asking for my consent prior to using them. Definitely give Andrew a call and see if he's available to watch your fur babies. I'm glad I did.”

He takes his job serious and as a pet owner himself he takes the full extent to make sure the pets he cares for are beyond taken care of like he would want his own pet to be. He’s very caring and puts others ahead of himself daily. Another quality trait is he’s always on time and you won’t ever have to doubt he won’t do his job at his highest of standards.”
