“Jennifer is a great Pet Sitter as well as Dog Walker my pets look forward to seeing her every day. She comes three days a week and it puts my mind at ease that I know that they’re being let out they’re being cared for while I’m at work. She’s very sweet and very upbeat with a very positive energy. I will continue to use her, she’s highly recommended. Thank you so much for all your help.”
“Once again Danni was terrific with our pets. She really treated and cared for them as individuals including our cat Lara who needed to be kept separate from the others due to her special diet. Thank you again Danni!”

“Abby is warm and kind. She was very professional, caring and overall great with our two Boxers dogs who aren't the easiest with people. We would absolutely use her again!”
“Tifaney has been absolutely amazing for my dog Mando. She is always on time or early, easy to work with, and trustworthy. I used Tifaney for months to take my dog out while he was growing up and I never once had an issue. Tifaney is a fantastic! You won’t be disappointed if you hire her. Unless I need her, then you can’t have her :).”
“Gabriela did an amazing job watching my dog, Max. He can be a bit anxious at first but warmed up to her quickly. I felt very comfortable leaving her in charge of him and will definitely reach out to her for visits in the future. She kept me well updated and took such great care of him. Would highly recommend!”

“This was my first time using Rover but I’m glad to say it was a great experience. I was hesitant at first but after a meet and greet with Angie, I knew my fur babies would be in good hands. Angie was amazing! She worked so well with one of my dogs that doesn’t do well with strangers. Angie kept great communication which definitely helped give me peace of mind. I will definitely use Angie for future needs.”
“Emma came to take our dogs out while we were away for the day. She sent pics both times, one of which is my new favorite picture of Ollie. We will not hesitate to book Emma again.”
“Very polite and understanding of pets needs. From the meet and greet to actual sitting, my Dog got a big and he was more than understanding in his new diet. Always giving updates and feedback on his walks. Highly recommend.”

Dover pet parents share their Rover experiences
We booked Ally through the Rover app to watch our little Yorkie, Bleu, for five days while we went on a cruise, and I honestly could not have asked for a better experience. The booking process through Rover was incredibly easy, but I was still nervous about having someone coming in and out of our home while we were away. From the very beginning, Ally made me feel completely comfortable and reassured. She answered every single question I had and never made me feel like I was asking too much. In fact, she went above and beyond to assure me that all of my concerns were completely valid. That level of care and understanding meant so much to me. Most importantly, Bleu absolutely loved her! Ally took amazing care of him and went above and beyond not only with him, but also with keeping our home safe while we were gone. It gave us such peace of mind knowing he was being cared for by someone so attentive, responsible, and genuinely caring. I will absolutely continue booking with Ally in the future, and I’m so grateful we found someone who cares for Bleu as much as we do. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate sitter!
Julianna was extremely reliable, and so compassionate caring for our cat while we were away! We were truly blown away by her attention to detail and her calm nature… She was willing to look out for a few specific things on our list without hesitation. We were so pleased and felt so comfortable knowing that Mochi was in good hands, and it allowed us to enjoy our getaway so much more. We will definitely be rebooking her soon for another weekend away! Highly, highly recommend.
