We’ve booked with Amber many times, and she is always my first choice. Love that we have someone we can trust to drop in and take care of our kitties when we’re gone.

I'm had an emergency on a Monday morning. By Monday afternoon Micah was booked and taking care of my Daisy and the chickens out back. Flawless communication, attention to detail, above and beyond anything ever anticipated. 5 stars. I highly recommend Micah and will be reaching out for future event forseen or unseen. Thank you Micah and the Rover team

A huge lifesaver. They were able to feed and visit with my gfs dog and give me peace of mind for the morning. They were very communicative and sent a great photo of him.

April was amazing. Very professional. Took care of any changes we had immediately. Our Animal kingdom loved her, and she loved taking care of them. She was always on time for her drop-ins and she checked in and checked out perfectly. She let us know of any issues, a and took care of them immediately. Such a pleasure knowing that we could relax knowing our pets would be well cared for. We were able to concentrate on our family. We will most definitely book with her again.

Thank you so much for taking care of our two kitties! This was the first time we had left them alone for more than a couple days, and it was such a relief knowing someone was going to check on them and make sure the older cat got her medication.

About: I’ve had a dog since I was a little kid. I also have watched dogs for my friends. My two oldest daughters head off to college this August. My youngest daughter, she will be 12 in September, loves all animals, but especially dogs. I am looking for a way to have more dogs in our house for my daughter to play with. We have one dog, Marley. However, my mom lives next door and she has two dogs, Daisy and Zoe. They visit often. But when we are watching other dogs, they will not visit. Our goal is to provide a fun, safe environment for your pup while you are away. I am able to watch your fury family member any weekend during the school year or June/July over the summer. I am not available: July 6-9 After July 30, I am back at school. I am available to watch your fury family member Friday (after 3:30) until Sunday evening (anytime.) I have a pool for them to swim in and and fully fenced in area around my house. I have about 40 acres we can take leashed walks on if you would like. We do have a few cows and a horse on the extended acreage. My lab/beagle mix loves to play with dogs. She plays well with both small and large dogs.

Jennifer is the best!!!! My cats were treated so well that I didn't see any difference in their behavior after our extended departure. They were relaxed when we arrived and I could see right away that they really liked the care Jennifer gave them. Jennifer was very helpful and available. She helped us out when our trip out of the country was extended by 2 weeks. I had peace of mind knowing my cats were in good hands. Everything was clean when I arrived and my cats had missed us, but I could see that they were relaxed and well fed. seraphin, my most shy cat, was super comfortable with her, and that's a great proof of the quality of the bond Jennifer knows how to build with animals. Thank you :-)

About: I have experience with dogs and cats of all sizes and personalities. As a foster family for the SPCA, I learned to be tender and caring with animals, while walking large dogs has taught me the importance of discipline. Walks usually go around Lake Hollingsworth or to the park! My schedule is flexible. I should be able to meet you and your pets needs and fit your schedule. I look forward to helping out however I can. Walks route through neighborhoods, lakes, or parks, allowing time for exercise, sniffing, and bathroom breaks. I monitor their behavior closely, ensure they stay hydrated, and keep them focused on the workout. If a dog moves unpredictably (or chases squirells etc.) I adjust the route or pace to keep the pet comfortable and safe.

We are so pleased that Ruth took care of our three kitties during our recent trip! We have been uncomfortable about our upcoming trips because travel upsets our kitties and we have to leave them behind. After our trial trip with Ruth, we feel that we can travel this year without the worry because she will give TLC to our sweet cas while we are gone.
