“Amber was great! She did a meet n greet and asked great questions and took notes. She was very good with thorough updates and great communication throughout. She was great with Kobi, and was attentive to his high energy personality”
“Peyton did a great job dropping off to feed and entertain my 2 cats while I was gone. My place was kept clean and he spent the full 30 minutes with them at each visit.”
“Tracy was very flexible with a last minute change in our Memorial Day plans! She was very attentive to our dog and cat, and took very good care of them! Would re-book again!”
“Megan was wonderful with our two boys. Prompt and on scheduled with drop in visits, which was comforting because my dog takes pills around the clock. Would highly recommend”
“Tiffany is our go-to pet sitter! Keo loves his time with her, and she always goes above and beyond by staying longer than 30 minutes with him. I appreciate her making the time to take care of him and coming back multiple times a day. She's the best!”
“My little girl was taken care of and got to stretch her legs mid day! Definitely gave me so much peace of mind to have such a kind hearted person care for my best friend.”
“Brittney was excellent!!! She gave us so much peace of mind while we were gone for two weeks, and went above and beyond cleaning up a plant casualty. She sent great pictures of our kitties and I know they got lots of snuggles! Our little girl can be a bit particular but warmed up to her and got lots of snuggles and belly rubs!”
“Kathryn was fantastic! She communicated quickly and clearly. It was nice to get a lot of pics of my boys while she was there checking in, I know they had a great time with her!”
“Joseph was incredible to our sweet old girl Moxie! He was loving and sweet to her and always updated me if anything was different for Moxie that day. He was dependable and consistent and we were so thankful that she got to go on walks every day in the middle of the day. We are so grateful for Joseph!”
“Mary does a wonderful job! Walks with my dog, gives lots of pets and attention to my cat and dog! Know they are excited to see her when I’m traveling.”
“Carley was very professional and followed my (long) list of instructions perfectly and I was confident my cat got plenty of love and attention while I was away!”
“Alex is helping watch our Bernese Mt. Dog puppy and she is doing an amazing job! My wife and I are so happy we found her. She is a great communicator. Follows our instructions and is very timely. We highly recommend her to anyone and we will definitely be reusing her services!”
“Christopher provided great care to my cats while I was away for a while. He made sure to give them extra attention and love! I appreciate the updates on the rover cards, especially the adorable pictures he took. He always arrived on time to feed the cats. They seemed well taken care of when I arrived back home. One of my cats didn't want him to leave and kept wanting attention from him. Thank you for being there for the cats!”
“Karen looked after our cat Avery at a time when we were super nervous to go away. She administered medicine flawlessly (thank you!), listened to our needs and communicated well in a timely manner too. Hopefully Avery will be a little less shy next time. :)”
“Erica is truly the best sitter ever! She’s repeatedly watched my baby, but this time she went a step above and helped me in the middle of a snowstorm. Her communication is top tier and I trust her with everything! Thank you, Erica!”
“Another wonderful experience with Stephanie! Super responsive and great about sharing updates/pictures during her check ins with my boys. Will definitely be booking her again!”
“Alyssa was great with our cat squad! They were all instantly comfortable with her and she showed them all the love while we were away. We will definitely book with Alyssa again!”
First Ward pet parents share their Rover experiences
I could not have asked for a better person to watch my dogs. I have never had a person outside the family to look after them, nor have I given a person access to my home. I recommend Ruben 100% and will gladly call on him again. My dogs took to him on his first visit that assured me I made the best decision. Thank you so much Ruben, it meant so much to me that you made my dogs and I very comfortable.
We had a great experience using Rover, and Amanda was fantastic! She was reliable, communicative, and took great care of our dog. It gave us real peace of mind knowing everything was in good hands. We would absolutely book with Amanda again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy sitter!
Alicia is an amazing pet sitter. She took care of my three kittens including my senior cat that is sick and we couldn't be more grateful for all of her help! We have a few special requests for him that can be a lot to ask and she did them without any issues! We will most definitely keep booking with her. I 100% recommend her service
Emily was incredible for our first visit with my senior pup! He kind of is a tricky guy with a lot of moving pieces health wise and she was amazingly adaptable and so sweet each step of the way. I feel like we kept changing plans based on his needs and her flexibly meant the world to us while I was out of state helping a sick family member. She kept me updated each step of the way and even took our pup on a walk with his stroller to get some mental stimulation when he really needed it. So so so grateful for her help and definitely recommend her!
Grace went above and beyond in caring for our (sometimes spicy) senior kitty, Hope. She came twice a day, was totally on top of everything, and kindly helped clean up when our cats stomach was getting upset (happens when we’re away). She also really understood how to work with our testy girl, to give her space, and let her come to you. We’re very grateful to have found such kind sitter nearby!
We had a great experience with Enzo during drop-in visits for 2 large, high-energy dogs. Managing one energetic dog is a challenge - managing 2 at the same time deserves a medal. Enzo was reliable, communicative, and clearly comfortable handling 2 big dogs with 2 big personalities. I appreciated the updates and photos during the visits, which gave me peace of mind while away. Would absolutely book again and highly recommend to anyone with energetic dogs who need someone patient, responsible, and unfazed by a little canine insanity.
