1. Abigail W.
“Abigail was great watching my two giant breed dogs and house sitting while my family and I went on vacation. My dogs are very large and can be a handful at times. I have traditionally used a boarding facility, but i always worry about the dogs just being in a kennel for long hours. I tried Rover for the very first time, and Abigail was great. The house and the dogs were both exactly how we left them!”
2. Niara J.
“This was my first time booking Niara for house/cat sitting and I couldn’t be more pleased! She took excellent care of my two year old cat and 3 month old kitten, kept me updated with pictures/videos everyday, and kept my home exactly as I left it. I never had an ounce of worry while I was out of town and would absolutely ask Niara to watch my fur babies again! Thank you, Niara! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
