“Erin was so detailed and a great communicator! We loved all of the info and she did great if there were questions or if something came up! We felt our pets were in great hands with her and her daughter. Our pets also loved them! Would definitely rebook!”
“Above and beyond! I needed someone last minute and Brooke came through and took care of my boys for two days as if they were her own. My boys can be stand offish at first when meeting someone new but Brooke took the time to meet them before confirming things. I really appreciated that and my boys took to her right away! I knew they were in good hands when I was gone. Can’t recommend her enough and am hopeful to utilize her service in the future!”
About: I have taken care of pets for a long time since growing up with them and taking care of my neighbors dogs. I have one myself and he loves meeting new friends. I’m currently a teacher — summers I am more available. During the school year, I am able to be with your dog after the school day if needed. I have a dog myself that can play with your dog and wear each other out. I also have an open field I take my dog to that we can play at.
“Mary is fantastic! She is reliable and a great communicator.”
“McKenzie did a great job when we were in a pinch to get someone fast. She sent pictures and kept notes on how are kitties were doing. We will be using her again in the future~”
“Emma helped me out big time when I needed a last minute drop in for my standard poodle mix Nilla. She sent me updates and Nilla was happy to have the company! She followed all directions seamlessly and asked questions if she had them. Would definitely recommend Emma and am looking forward to reaching out to her in the future!”
About: I currently have 3 awesome pups! A Jack Russell mix, a pug mix and a Labrador ranging from 13 to 83 pounds. They bring so much joy to my family. Taking care of them is such a joy! I can be incredibly flexible about meeting the needs of my clients accommodating them and their busy schedule is my number one priority. Life can be a headache and I want to relieve that! Pets deserve our respect. They are fun, quirky and playful but their boundaries must be respected. Once the rapport is built, it is a pleasure to build a special relationship with your pet.
“Erika was great! It was so comforting to know our dog was left in good hands. She was prompt to all visits, left great notes and took great photos!”
“First time Rover user and I picked Lauren based on her 5-star reviews. Lauren was great, she is super nice, she paid attention to some dog specific things, and most importantly the dogs loved her. She is highly recommended and I definitely will be using her again in the future.”
About: I grew up with and around pets all my life. My love for animals grow and grow everyday. I’ve always been the first person to volunteer to watch or take care of family and friends pets through out the years. I love seeing all different personalities these animals have. I love to do at home training to see progress in behavior but i’m no professional. I have a passion for learning and understanding all different types of animals. My experience in Pet Care is from having pets to watching pets over the years. I currently work from home, so I have plenty of extra time! I would love to play with and give your animals some love and attention ❤️ Caring for pets on clientele’s home should be professional, trustworthy, reliable, respectful, and responsible. Pets are our companions and our friends. I would always make sure the pets are safe with the environment that they are in.

“Very happy with Lori”
“This was our first time using Rover. We had to go out of town unexpectedly and our usual pet boarding service was not available. So, we decided to give Rover a try. Kacey was awesome! We used the drop-in service. It was nice to be able to keep the dogs at home in their typical environment and not put them through the stress of boarding. Kacey responded to our messages quickly. She took great care of our dogs. Kacey provided pictures of the dogs with every visit. It was nice to know that they were safe and well cared for at home.”
