Great communication and daily photos/videos. This was our first time leaving our dog, so she didn't eat for the first day we were gone. We collaborated on some problem solving, and she decided she could eat again with the help of some peanut butter. House was well cared for, as well.

Victoria went above and beyond for our girls! She kept the schedule she indicated, followed all of our (many) instructions and kept us informed of medical emergencies when needed. I would recommend her for any pet sitting!!

Allison stayed with Maisie for four days in my home and it was an excellent experience. She provided daily updates and photos. Maisie was a happy girl! And my condo was in perfect order when I returned. Probably better than the way I left it. I will definitely ask Allison to come and stay with Maisie again. I have complete confidence and trust in her.

Sarah took excellent in-home care of our dog and cat while we were away six days! We had to ask an additional favor of her by bringing out trash can in after trash day. We appreciate her agreeing to do so! We definitely hope that Sarah is available next time we need someone to watch our pets!

Lori took very good care of our 2 very different dogs. One has anxiety issues and one is so little and hates being alone. We had to be away for 8 days, and since this was our 1st time using this service we were a bit nervous...but it all turned out fantastic and I feel so much better about leaving my girls. I will be using Lori again and highly recommend her to care for your 4 legged fur babies.

Nathan did a great job with our two cats over the long weekend despite it being pretty last minute from us! Tried his best to win them over but they're a fickle crew. Would happily ask him again for future cat visits.

Jenna is a genuine joy. Her immensely warm demeanor and professional presence made us feel incredibly comfortable leaving our crew of silly misfits in her care during our first partnership with Rover. Responsible, respectful and a real pleasure to work only begins to describe her and her gift of service. We are truly blessed to consider her to be a member of our pack. Thank you for you, Jenna! 💜

Madi was fantastic! Wrigley is a high energy dog and he got daily trips to the dog park and even a trip to the pet store. We really appreciated the daily updates and photos. The house was spotless when we got home and Wrigley seemed very happy! This was our first time with a sitter and we were pretty nervous since our dog has separation anxiety, however with Madi here I don’t think he even realized we were gone. We’re already adding Madi to the calendar for next time, and would recommend them again and again!!!

Summer did an amazing job. This was our first experience with in-home care and it was really reassuring to know that Bama was getting good care. She noticed if there were any issues, worked with me when things came up, and, most importantly gave her love and attention when we weren't there. Her vet tech training gave me peace of mind since Bama is an older dog. She sent pics and videos, which I really appreciated. I would definitely use Summer again if the need arose. Thanks, Summer!

This was my first time with Molly watching the boys. She was awesome! She sent so many pictures and videos which was great, I could tell that they were comfortable with her. She even let them sleep with her and hog the bed! I had several issues with my flights and she was more than willing to be on standby if I didn’t make it home on time. I’ll definitely use Molly again in the future 🌟
