“Reviewing Loren for the 10 days she cared for our 2 dogs and 1 cat. Loren reached out after we first contacted Rover with a challenging 10-day assignment (our regular pet care fell through last minute). She contacted another Rover walker to cover shifts that she couldn't. She stayed in contact with us and was available while we were gone. Loren excelled at taking care of our pets, and let us relax while away. She followed instructions, and took incentive to notify us about any concerns with our pets or alarm system Thanks, Loren! —Kelly and Ted”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - El Cajon
Abby was wonderful! She was able to accommodate us last minute and was friendly, reliable, and professional from the start. My dog Soul immediately loved her and her positive energy. I felt completely comfortable leaving my baby in her care and would absolutely book with Abby again. I highly recommend giving her a try!
This sitter was amazing! Charlie was very communicative, caring, and attentive the entire time. You can tell charlie truly love dogs and knows how to work with them. My babies were happy, well cared for, and I felt safe and confident leaving them in charlie’s care. Thank you for taking such great care of my pups—I would definitely book again!
Reyna was great with my dogs! She arrived on time, was very friendly, and handled both of them really well. She definitely knew what she was doing and made sure they got all their energy out during the walk. I felt comfortable leaving my dogs in her care and would absolutely book with her again.
We love Bobbie! She walks our dog Coco twice a week. She is lovely, reliable and proactive. On a few occasions when the weather forecast has been for rain she checks in ahead of time to confirm if Coco will still want a walk. Coco gets so excited when she sees her and has lots of fun with Bobbie. Could not recommend more highly!
I desperately needed a dog walker for the day due to a last minute cancellation, and Jingchun was very quick to respond and was also very reliable too! She did an amazing job caring for my pup and provided a ton of pics and videos to ensure my pup was in good hands. I will definitely use her again & highly recommend her to everyone!
