“Eric did a wonderful job looking after our two cats for longterm drop-in visits. He was responsive, attentive, and made sure to keep us updated on how the critters were doing as well as looking after our house. We'd be happy to have him sit again.”
“Jasmine always takes amazing care of Bluey!!! She diligently checks his food, water, and litter. I love receiving her summary report while I’m on vacation — it gives me peace of mind!!”
“When I arrived home he was resting comfortably in his crate. He was overjoyed to see me and everything was perfect! Thank you for taking such excellent care of Frankie. I look forward to using Leyla for future dog walking services. This was very FIRST experience leaving him for such a long period of time; Rover has made my ability to travel and engage in social activities possible.”
“Gabriela has been such a huge help for us and our new puppy. I would highly recommend her to anyone who is nervous or new to Rover. She has taken the best care of our dog and is super reliable!”
“Corinne was fantastic. She was communicative and followed our guidance on care and feeding. We will definitely be working with her again if she’s available on the dates we request.”
“Logan is great with my senior kitty. I appreciate her timeliness and fun photos of my kitty while I’m away. My kitty does have asthma and requires daily medicine, Logan has been great to ensure she gets the meds every 10-12 hours.”
“Jenna and Matthew are amazing! This is the second time I’ve booked with them and they do a great job every time. I’ve booked 30 minute drop-ins and they always play with my dog when there’s extra time instead of just leaving when she’s done being walked/fed. It means a lot to me that they go the extra mile to make sure my dog is happy!”
“Callie kindly helped us out on short notice, to come keep Prissy company and let her out to use the bathroom, while I was away on a day trip. Prissy seemed comfortable around her and I came home to a happy dog!”
“Sarah’s great! She came to meet our girls before the trip in visits, which I so appreciated! She’s been very flexible with our schedule and the general unpredictability of caring for a puppy! Great with communication and sends lots of pics. Highly recommend!”
“Kari was great with my 6 month old pup while I went back to work! She was prompt and took great care of her! I loved getting Kari's daily updates and appreciated her attention to detail. I will definitely book with Kari again!”
“As dependable as ever! Keeps me updated, which is much appreciated since my cat is nearing 21 years old and with the issues associated with such an elderly cat, I came back home to my relief to see Nefe in good health and spirits and in good condition.”
“Kellye was responsible AND responsive while we were out of the country! She checked in on Gweng often and made sure she was fed, entertained, and also had her immunotherapy medication. Highly recommended for anyone with a feline companion in need of care!”
“Kat was great! She stepped in for us at the last minute and was super communicative and flexible. We would highly recommend her for any cat sitting needs!”
“Maria again makes leaving our furry friend at home a viable option. Thank you for being professional and fluid to what’s going when you arrive. No shortage of care to the details and generous with photos and descriptions of the visit. One of the best! Thank you Maria!”
“Hayley was so great visiting with my dog Clark after he had surgery. She was so communicative and helpful in his recovery, including giving medication and following all of the instructions for his needs.”
“Rebecca was incredible with Rosie and even picked up some of her favorite treats! She sent lots of pictures and I could tell my girl was very cared for. Would 100% book her again!”
“Excellent job taking care of my senior cat and giving lots of love and attention while I was away. Thorough notes and great pictures provided after each visit.”
“Patrick was great- highly recommend! Very professional and communicative. Sent lots of photos, which I appreciated! My cat can be a little bratty depending on her mood and I had zero concerns while Patrick took care of her.”
