First time using Rover and jenevieve made everything so easy for us! She watched our boy milo for the week and went above and beyond for us! Milo looked as if he was missing us and so she took Milo over to her own home so Milo could play it with her pups and even got to stay the night! We appreciate everything she has done. Highly recommend this lady here!

Amazing person! She took such great care with my cat over the holidays. Every check in I received photos and updates of her litter box, food and of course my cat getting cuddles and pets that she loves. Would definitely recommend her to all my friends and will look forward to having her look over Hazel the next time!

We added an extra visit on the night we came home - the puppies were all taken care of so we could just settle in and relax with them after a late flight back. Christina did an amazing job the whole week!

My dogs and cat were in such good hands. Highly recommend him. Will use again and again. Was in another country and he was so patient with my payment issue. I didn’t have to worry even at 3700 miles away.

Andrea has been amazing, our dogs can be a lot and be very hyper. She plays fetch, gives them water and feeds them breakfast. She even takes the time to clean up if our dogs manage to escape out of the kennel and make a mess ( they counter surf). She Leaves a report card every time and sends lots of pics with just the hour she’s at our house. I would recommended Andrea 10/10!

Tarah is such a great cat sitter! Our kitties warmed up to her so quickly. Very flexible scheduling, always responsive via text or Rover message, kept us in the loop with lots of cute pics of our babies. Will definitely be rebooking in the future!

Lisa was wonderful! This was my first time using Rover and she made it so easy to work with her. She went above and beyond what I asked her to do and made me feel very comfortable leaving my cat. Will definitely be using her again :)

Sidney did a great job with her drop-in visit. We came home to a happy, content dog and it was comforting to get photos midday and know he was getting a break from his kennel. We would hire her again!

James is an outstanding pet parent. When I met James, he had a Labrador retriever named Albert. He had adopted Albert as a puppy. Albert was the best cared for pet ever! Albert just passed here recently at the impressive age of 14. He has also pretty pet sat for my Akita, Cash was a puppy mill rescue. I adopted him at about a year old and he was super under socialized and extremely fearful with strangers. James was wonderfully patient with Cash in giving him both the space and the nudges he needed. Rover would be fortunate to get James as part of your team

Megan was fantastic! She was a lifesaver as one of our cats requires insulin injections twice a day but no one would board her. Megan was communicative (sent pictures with each check in) and detail-oriented as the directions I left were quite lengthy. She even brought in a package that was delivered while we were gone. I will definitely book Megan again!
