“Kirstin was wonderful with Nala Mae and Leo. They both warmed up to her nicely! She was neat and respectful with my home and followed directions for feeding to the letter! Kirstin is now our go to pet friend! We will ask her to sit again! Thank you Kirstin!”
“Kassidy was the absolute best!!! She followed the instructions I had left. Kassidy texted updates along with pictures every day. All 3 babies seemed relaxed with her. We will definitely be using her for all needed in home sitting.”
“Ella did a super job of taking care of our 2 cats. She was very helpful with the special medical care and feeding for our hyperthyroid cat and her sister. We were able to go on a long vacation because we had confidence that our beloved pets would be ok. She also took great care of all the outdoor plants, and other household needs. We will definitely have her come back again to house sit for us.”
“Kristin did a great job watching Charlotte! She sent updates a couple times a day and was great at communicating any issues. We already have her booked for our next getaway.”
“Marikita gets more than 5 STARS! She was amazing with our Golden Retriever, Remi! She went above and beyond our expectations, she text us pictures everyday and was in tune with his needs! She stayed at our home and watered pots, plants, and really did an outstanding job! We highly recommend her to stay in your home! We were gone 11 days and her, texts, pictures and connections made our trip, a trip of a lifetime possible, because we knew our pup was being LOVED❤️From the bottom of our hearts “ “Thank You”! Mike, Brenda and Remi?”
“Emilia did an excellent job taking care of our two cats/house-sitting for three+ weeks. She did not hesitate to ask questions and shared detailed updates with us. When we got back, the cats were happy, the house was so clean, and we could not have asked for a more caring and responsible person to help us out. Thank you Emilia!”
“Ashley was great! She jumped right in with our puppy - playing, snuggling, and keeping the pup on a potty training schedule. Ashley’s communication was wonderful, and she sent lots of pictures and videos during her visit. We will definitely be reaching out to her again!”
“Cameron was responsible and attentive to dog needs. Showed interest in developing rapport with dog. Prepared w meet n greet , asked good questions & communicated well before & during stay.”
“First time rover user and didn't know what to expect. Very impressed with Eric. Did more than I would have hoped in terms of caring for my dog. Will ask him again when I need someone!”
“Mya was attentive to all of our pets, and did a great job of communicating questions or issues to us in a timely manner. The house was just as we had left it. We had zero concerns about her ability to care for our animals. She is responsible and showed up when she said she would be there. Definitely will have Mya house-sit for us again.”
About: I've had Saint Bernards, Goldens and havenese my whole life. I have taken care of cats, fish, hamsters, you name it! I worked at the Humane Society here in town too. Animals are a passion of mine. I am a student-athlete with practice/events but have no other obligations outside of that. Can fit pet care into my schedule as needed, whether day or night! Since I don’t host pets in my home, I focus on in home visits and walks. I ensure pets feel comfortable, maintain routines, and always stay safe and cared for. Whether that is food/water, playtime or just simple walks! I can also keep up if need be with training you are trying to do as well.
About: I have been blessed with the ability to make friends with dogs regardless of their breed or age. Often, when we meet, I just have a sense of them. It is my goal to make your dog comfortable, safe and happy in my care. I will also care for your home the way I care for my own. Playing with pets is my ideal fun retirement gig. As a retired business owner with 45 years in the moving business I was responsible for people's valuables and their residence. One time, while moving a Husker Head football Coach and his family, I picked up their cat at the airport in Omaha at 1 am while the family was traveling to Lincoln. My promise to you is to make your pet and home my priority while they are in my care. I am currently retired and available except when I go to work out or play basketball. I can even bring our pup Kari over if your dog likes doggie playtime. She loves to play and hang out with all other dogs. I am happy to let your dog out in your fenced yard for play time or take them out in the front or back on a leash as needed if not fenced.
“Carissa was great - took great care of my 4-year old dog. He's absolutely my baby and she was so responsive to all of my requests for him. She sent me pictures and ensured he had a great time while I was gone. The trip was very last-minute, and I was sick in the lead-up. Carissa was flexible and responsive in scheduling a meet and greet with him. While I was away, she followed all of my requests and sent pictures so I could check in on him. Overall, she was excellent and I will absolutely be checking in with her the next time I'm out of town!”
“Marie took such good care of Hunter! She took him on lots of walks and made sure he got the attention he needed. Marie clearly likes dogs and I wouldn’t hesitate to book her again.”
Family Acres pet parents share their Rover experiences
I would leave 10 Stars if I could! Elizabeth took amazing care of our three dogs and a cat! After meeting her for the first time I knew she was the person I could trust with my pets. She is professional in all respects. All the dogs reacted calmly when introduced to her. She goes above and beyond what is normally expected. My dogs are very active and require exercise and a lot of attention. Both of those conditionals were met with Elizabeth exercising them twice a day. She is trustworthy, caring, and followed our dog schedule perfectly. Elizabeth showed her ability to handle situations when ants invaded our house. We were able to rid the house of ants with the help of a neighbor and Elizabeth keeping the dogs clear of any toxic over spray. I am so thankful for her taking care of issues when they arise. Communications with Elizabeth were excellent as she was in contact everyday. Upon our return, we found our house clean and devoid of mountains of dog hair. It is so comforting to know you can leave the country and know that your pets are receiving the best care possible. I highly recommend Elizabeth for taking care of any pet.
Ella was an amazing pet sitter. She stayed in my home and sat my dog for 4 days. I have never left my dog alone with anyone but family in her 12 years of life. I was a little nervous but Ella's credentials and communication made it so much better. I'll be hiring her in the future and passing her info to others!
Kassidy is amazing. Absolutely amazing. The communication throughout the booking process (she asks great questions!), coming to visit the pets prior to my departure (they loved her from the start), and frequent check-ins during my absence (with cute pics) were so appreciated. She left my home cleaner than when she found it, and was incredibly thoughtful. Hands down, a wonderful experience with Kassidy.
Emilia did an excellent job taking care of our two cats/house-sitting for three+ weeks. She did not hesitate to ask questions and shared detailed updates with us. When we got back, the cats were happy, the house was so clean, and we could not have asked for a more caring and responsible person to help us out. Thank you Emilia!
Jennifer was amazing with our 3 set-in-their-ways pooches. She got them walked and fed as instructed and went above the bar to snuggle them and do extra chores around the house while we were gone all week! We had no worries as she sent check-in messages and photos to let us know everything was going well. Would highly recommend her!
First time users with Rover and we hit a home run. Reagan is amazing!! Leading up to our trip, she communicated quickly and clearly. We met with her prior to leaving and she put our minds completely at ease. During the trip we got pics of our pups, were able to communicate with her, and could relax knowing our two dogs were in great hands. And when we returned you wouldn't even know she was here, everything was clean and tidy. I can't recommend Reagan enough!
