Absolutely excellent. We went on a long trip to Asia and the biggest thing for me was that I could actually enjoy my trip because I knew they were in great hands. She walked our dog daily in addition to playing with her outside in the backyard and really helped get her energy out and quality time. She was patient and kind with our cats and did an excellent job in finding ways to get them to take their medicine (3 of the 4 cats take medication). She cleaned our house throughout the stay but did a final clean on the day we got back and that was such a huge plus for us. It was nice coming home to happy animals and a clean house in order. So happy we found Tara and can’t wait to have her pet sit again.

Shane was very professional and quick to respond. I had never used this app before so I was nervous to leave my puppy but Shane helped alleviate all my concerns. I would highly recommend booking with Shane

I had a great experience with Leah as a drop-in sitter for my cat Sonia. She came by a week prior to understand her feeding routine, favorite toys, and places she hides. Leah always checked in with the Rover Card and provided plenty of pictures and videos of her drop in. She was also flexible with meeting times for key handover. I will book again in the future!

Carrie was so great with my cat, Wayne! She spent time with him while providing him with the necessities while I was away, and also snapped so many great pictures that I could look at. Carrie is the best and I will absolutely rebook with her when I can/need to! :)

Amy went above and beyond— and is most certainly deserving of great recognition. She took on sitting my dog Benny and short notice and did a phenomenal job. First impression- timeliness! I had booked her for four drop in visits and she was on time for each single one. Secondly, her attention to detail. She asks all the right questions and executes flawlessly. She also has good initiative. Lastly, she makes sure she’s reporting back with Rover Cards that include detailed events and pictures. I highly recommend Amy and will be using her again.

I can’t think of a better pet Mom and caregiver than Dara. Her life revolves around her two cat babies and she is extremely diligent with their care including one cat with chronic conditions and complex needs. Any pet would be lucky to be under Dara’s care!

Matt was great! I selected him for drop in visits for my dog and two cats while I was traveling out of town. Matt built great rapport with everyone from the start. He came up with a plan to manage all of it. everyone seemed happy based on the photos he sent me. Proactive and followed instructions to the letter. Highly recommend!

Emilio used to board and walk my now late Frenchie. She was in love with him and would start dancing when she heard him in the hallway. The smile never leaves his face and always with a positive attitude.

My first time working with Ashley as she was able to accommodate a short notice request for an overnight trip. My dog and cats immediately bonded with her thanks to a quick meet and greet beforehand. She left detailed notes and great photos of them interacting. Definitely recommend and hope to have her back again.

Erin took great care of our cat! Arrived right on time every day and sent updates and photos. Since we have only had a calico for six weeks, it was greatly reassuring to know that she was in good hands for our first long weekend away.
