“Maelee was very sweet and accommodating. She dropped in on my 2 cats, taking care of their needs as well as giving my elderly cat his meds daily. I appreciated the little notes and pictures sent as well. I highly recommend!”
“Lauren was communicative, thorough, and got along so well with my cat, even with short notice! It was a load off my mind while traveling, and I really appreciated her time and work.”
About: I’ve had pets all my life, with experience caring for dogs of many different sizes and breeds. While taking care of your pet I will make them feel at home, maintain their routine with them and give plenty of attention. Pet care is vital in my house. With 3 animals to take care of, I have daily routines set in place in order to ensure my pets are well taken care of. We have a fenced in yard and space to run around, and a quiet, no-outlet neighborhood with no drive-thru traffic for walks. There is a dog bed for sleeping and a crate if needed.
“I left my dog, Theo, with Kelsey and Forrest for a few hours, and definitely plan on using them again in the future! They were very accommodating, and facilitated a meet-up beforehand, so that Theo could get comfortable with them and their space before his stay. When I dropped him off, he didn’t even look back! Kelsey and Forrest are very trustworthy and obviously animal lovers.”
“Kim is the absolute best, leaving my pup is very sad but I feel comforted knowing Kim is going to be checking in on her. Plus, the highlight of my day is the little notes Kim leaves along with pictures of my sweet Suggie!! I can't thank Kim enough for being so reliable and trustworthy!”
“Suzanne and her family did an excellent job taking care of my two kitties! I loved getting the photo updates every day and the creative ways she got them to play. As an added bonus she tended to my plants for me. My vacation was worry free thanks to Suzanne, and I’d hire her again in a heartbeat!”
“Abby was fantastic! We were worried about using Rover for the first time but ended up being SUPER impressed with the checkin system and Abby's work. She sent us pictures and an update every day. She was really quick to respond and nice to meet. We will definitely be using her again!”
“Kaitlyn was great with our two cats! We appreciate her loving on them while we were away. Norris and Nelson also appreciate getting wet food, treats, playtime, and pets. Great communication and photos too 🥰”
“Brian was freaking fantastic. They were so attentive to our sweet kitty and went above and beyond to help us out when some packages and mail were left outside. My cat truly found a new buddy and was almost a little disappointed when I walked back in when she realized it wasn’t Brian! Can’t say enough great things!”
About: I’ve been around cats and dogs since childhood. My friends, family, and co-workers have trusted me to care for their fur babies! I have a senior pittie with reactive/aggressive behavior, so I do have experience and empathy towards that! I work full time Monday-Thursday 7:30am-5pm but can drop in after work or later in the evening as well. Friday-Sunday are my more flexible days! I fully respect the owner’s schedule for their pet and will follow whatever instructions are needed to ensure your pet is safe and cared for properly. I would ask the same for my own!
About: I have loved dogs ever since I was a child. For the past 8 years I have watched dogs for family and friends. I enjoy walking and playing with dogs and am comfortable working with young puppies. I am currently in between jobs so I have plenty of time to spend with your furry friends! I'm available most weekdays for walks and pet care. I have a fenced in backyard and a small-medium 1 year old dog who loves to play. I can easily crate your dog if needed.
“Kris is awesome! She’s provided awesome care to our 16 yo pup and now does the same for our 16 week old pup. Her communication is excellent. She sends great photos and provides the TLC we want for our pups while we are away!”
“We love Maggie! She’s super reliable and understands our dog and his need for exercise. She’s thorough with updates and follows any instructions I leave. Not an ounce of worry when we leave our dog in Maggie’s care.”
“Rachael has been so great to work with; great communication, lots of pics and takes great care of our pup! We've used her regularly long term and would recommend!”
About: I have 10 years of experience taking care of pets! I have walked puppies, middle aged, and elderly dogs, and I love hanging out with cats as well. I am reliable, punctual, and attentive. I’m excited to meet your pet! As a recent college grad, I take care of cats and dogs in my time off from work to make some extra money on the side doing something I love :) I will follow your instructions for drop-in visits in your home and/or walks. Let me know what is best for your pet and I will do my best to follow that!
About: I have experience with dogs and cats of all sizes and ages. I love to make pets feel comfortable while their loved ones are away! I am reliable, communicative, and always prioritize your pet’s comfort and safety. I have a flexible schedule and a passion to allow for time during the day to take your pet for walks, play, and feed them. Ask me about my new client discount! You can count on me to provide frequent updates, photos, and open communication. I believe that building trust is the foundation for great pet care.
“daniel was great with our 90 lb pitbull and was flexible with our times. great with giving medication as directed and lots of pictures! would definitely book daniel again”
About: Not only did I grow up helping to take care of the family dogs, I have owned and thoroughly trained (voice & hand commands) two dogs as an adult - one Labrador retriever (who fully retrieved) and a Corgi, from the time they were puppies. While both of those dogs have crossed the rainbow bridge now, they both lived long & full lives, and I loved them dearly. You can see the Corgi in my profile picture. I have also owned a small snake, 3 Guinea pigs; and taken care of 2 macaws, multiple parrots, and run a dog boarding business for five months for a friend - so not much phases me! Currently I am not working anywhere, but my husband and I share custody of our 3 girls; and we do travel some ourselves. Most of my free time will be during the day, but I will likely also have time in the evenings as well. Your house is your safe space and I respect that. As a former Rover user myself, I know how important it is to be respectful of your home. I pay close attention to details and appreciate being given as much information as possible to take the best care of your pet as possible.

“Working with Grace was the best experience I’ve had with a dog service. She took great care with my senior dog Mitzy, making sure she tested the pavement before a walk on a hot day, lots of water, and lots of love for my sweet girl. Grace does this because she truly loves dogs and her genuine interest in dogs and kindness is palpable! I feel peace of mind knowing Grace is available to stay with Mitzy when I’m out of town because she loves Grace which helps me know I can trust her. Thanks Grace for all your attentive care and responsibility for Mitzy.”

She has always followed and respected my care plan for Boulder because she wants our dogs to stay in their routine and be cared for like they are at home. I know my dog is in very good hands when he is with Jasmine. I highly recommend Jasmine!”
Eastgate pet parents share their Rover experiences
I was gone for a week and had Brian come by daily to look after my cat. She gets stressed when I’m gone and isn’t very friendly to new people. I was really happy that Brian was understanding about this. He took great care of my cat and nothing was overlooked. He was reliable and great with communication. I’d hire him again for sure.
I can definitely see that Amanda did a wonderful job taking care of our cats. I could see in their faces in the updates and tell in their body language when we returned that they didn’t miss us too much. Amanda did a great job entertaining and maintaining their schedules. This was a stress free vacation for me and the cats!
I don't usually leave reviews, but I felt compelled to make an exception for Evelyn. She took excellent care of our pets with great attention and care. She followed every instruction to the letter and clearly takes her responsibilities seriously. It’s rare to come across someone so reliable, thoughtful, and genuinely kind. Just a really nice kid with a great attitude. Highly recommended!
She is absolutely amazing, my cats loved her. She fed them, and played with them. It is really nice to have a caretaker for the cats that treat them like they matter. Cats have a 6th sense about people and they took to her right away. I would definitely have her take care of my pets again.
We so appreciate Tia being able to stop by for a fairly last minute visit. She spent lots of time playing with fern in the backyard and made sure she was fed. Fern was so happy when I got home and clearly had plenty of playtime with Tia which is great! We will certainly reach out for drop in visits again.
