Danielle and Travis do an amazing job of caring for our dog while we are away. They are extremely thorough in understanding what your pet's needs are before you leave and provide great updates while you're gone. We always look forward to the updates and can see from the photos and videos they send that our dog loves her time with them. They are amazing and we cannot recommend them enough!

Was out of the country for the week and this was my first time using Rover. Brie had amazing communication and took very good care of my cats! My super shy kitty even let her pet her by the end of the week, which is huge because she doesn’t come out for anyone. They were in very good hands!

Cara is wonderful. She is reliable, does just what we ask, reaches out when she has questions and puts up with a grumpy old dog that barks at her. We couldn’t be more grateful for her help and the care she gives our babies.

We could not have asked for a better pet sitter for Walter while we were away. Megan went above and beyond during every drop-in visit to make Walter and us feel comfortable. She made sure he was fed and cared for and also gave him genuine attention, playtime, and affection. We received thoughtful updates and photos that gave us so much peace of mind on vacation. It was obvious how much she truly cares about animals, and Walter absolutely adored her. We will absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for exceptional pet care!

I will definitely request Mira's help again - this was our first Rover experience, and she was a blessing. She went above and beyond by dropping by to meet Sam ahead of time so he wouldn't view her as an intruder. He's 90 pounds and we're still working on his puppy manners (like jumping and the occasional body slam), and she was competent and professional in taking him on. Mira dropped by twice as requested, took him for a walk, and sent plenty of photos so we could see he was having the best time with her. Highly recommend! Thank you, Mira!

About: I have been talking care of family and friends animals since the age of 10 and still to this day. From walking to feeding to bathing, and grooming I have done it all. I wouldnt be the person I am today if it wernt for being around and taking care of animals. Pets make my life so much more enjoyable seeing them happy them showing love in return. I have a Morkie who is the biggest lover on this planet. She is great with other animals and will keep them great company. I also use to train dogs when I was younger and have had the privilege to train all of my family and friends pets. So if your fur baby is in need of a little extra help I would be thrilled to work with them! I am currently a stay at home mother who has lots of time and love to give and would be honored to care for your fur baby. I have a fenced in back yard and a very loving and friendly fur baby to keep your pet company and lots of toys and love to give little one

About: I grew up my whole life with dogs, I trained them as I got older, and even participated in dog shows for 4-H in middle/high school. I've cared for and watched my family's and friends' pets for years and have always loved to get to know each furry friend I meet! I work as a barista so my schedule changes, but if you let me know ahead of time I can ask off of work to make sure your furry friend has all my attention! I can take pets for walks, let them outside, I am able to crate if needed, and have a history of giving medications. Let me know what you need, and I will make sure your dog is loved and cared for!

About: I have lots of puppy care experience, and I know how to take care of all types of breeds. I will make sure your animals are loved and treated like family! I work pretty much full time at a dog boarding/daycare facility, so I know how to take care of animals very well! I work every day except Saturday and Sunday, my shifts are usually no longer than 6 hours. I live in an apartment with lots of space, so I can accommodate a lot of different animals. Also a huge outside area where they can do their business and play!

Madison was great! She did daily drop-ins for our 3 cats while we were out of town for a week. She took a lot of photos each day, made sure to play with, brush, and give treats. She even offered to take out our trash and recycling bins on pickup day. I felt at ease knowing she was taking such good care of our babies!
