First time using Rover. Molly, her pups and home environment were very welcoming. My old dog has an expensive dislike to the crowded and noisy concrete boarding facilities. She seemed to enjoy staying in a quiet home like setting with a great backyard and a calming human. I will definitely use Molly again. Convenient and quick drop off and pick up. Thank you!

Alyssa was very dependable, caring & made sure to update us on our kitties progress. Our cat is very shy & scared but managed to warm up to Alyssa & cuddle with her. Told us a lot & would definitely recommend her & trust her again for our scaredy cat! She is a gem!!

Jennifer is a very warm person and I knew Rocco would be well cared for. She was boarding a couple other dogs simultaneously, which Rocco hadn't experienced before, but they got along well and became a sort of pack. When I picked him up, Rocco had clearly missed me, but when I took him home, he seemed a little restless - I think he missed Jennifer and his new pack!

Yessica was so great with Cat Sammy, I will definitely be trusting her with my cat again in the future. She was easy to schedule with and assured me she would not take on any other pets while she watched my cat, which brought me a lot of comfort. It was harder to find a Rover with no other pets involved than I expected. A lot of sitters on Rover take on multiple pets at a time, lock them in separate rooms or crates or have pets of their own. Those circumstances create a stressful environment for both myself and my cat so I prefer a sitter that is able to provide a stable and stress free environment. She sent me daily updates and photos which is not required but was very much appreciated. Sammy was happy and purring in all of the videos and it brought me peace of mind. She even took him outside a little for fresh air which he loves— she went the extra mile. Her communication was great & timely and she easily built trust with me. She returned all of his items clean & in tact. 10/10 recommend Yessica as your Rover!

Met Amanda, Jeff, and Yoda.. All 3 were super friendly, and took excellent care of my 1.5yo Catahoula (Zara) while I was out of town for 2 days. My pup may have even had too much fun.. She was moping around the rest of the night after I picked her up.. I think she was missing all of them ! If the need ever arose again, I would not hesitate to contact Amanda and Jeff. TYVM !

About: Hello! My name is Megan, and I want you to know you can trust your animals with me! I will treat them like they are my own. I have cared for both cats and dogs before and been a proud owner. I promise your pets will be in good hands. I am also very flexible, and am willing to work around any schedule. I do currently have a dog in my household, but she loves all animals and is very good with them. If there needs to be separation, that can be easily done. I hope you will choose me to watch over your furry friends! I can ensure to keep open communication while your pet is in my care and will send you lots of pictures as well! I am currently a stay at home mom so I have super open availability. I am willing to work around a schedule that works best for you and your furry friend I have a very friendly puppy named Maggie at home. She loves to play and make new friends. However, if your fur baby is not too fond of other animals I can have Maggie stay with family.

Glenn & Jillian were ABSOLUTELY amazing pet sitters! They took such good care of our pup Finn and helped ease our minds as this was his first time away from us. Jill sent lots of photos and videos and was super responsive to texts throughout our trip. They treated our fur baby like their own and were incredibly accommodating to our travel time frames. 5 stars across the board!

This is our 3rd time using Kristin and we have her booked again for May. She's amazing with Weatherly! Attentive, caring, kind, and my dog truly is part of the family. So much so that when we come to get Weatherly, she's always sad when we get home. Kristin is fantastic, you're pet will be loved & well cared for with her.

Our puppy was still learning, and Dylan was able to continue the process and schedule. I would highly recommend utilizing his services if you are in need of someone.

Liz was WONDERFUL! Our boy Maxx is 12 and a real dog of comfort. Liz sent us daily photos and comments, and Maxx looked like he fit right in in her home with the other dogs. Daily trips to the off-leash dog park were a big hit. Her home had that “dog home” feel to it, and we were quite comfortable leaving our boy there for three days.

Savannah was an excellent dog sitter while I was out of town. They did everything in their power to ensure I felt comfortable and confident leaving Georgia behind in their care. They proactively offered details on their schedule to ensure that my dog received the care I was expecting and went above and beyond to administer my dogs medication by making her homemade pill pockets, which I was particularly delighted by. 10/10, would choose to dog sit again!

I was able to board my dog Tex at Leslie’s on short notice and it turned out to be a great fit. Her dog Bruce is very well trained and got along great with my dog, who’s more interested in human friends than other dogs. She was able to administer his medication with no issues and kept the pups happy and active. She’s reliable, communicative, and took great care of Tex. I will definitely board my dog with her again! :)
