Lisa took excellent care of my daughters cat, Pixie, while we were away. She was very engaging & provided thoughtful updates on how Pixie was doing, which gave us peace of mind. Administering medication can sometimes be tricky, but Lisa handled it with no issues. I truly appreciate her care and attention to detail. Highly recommend!

About: Ever since I was 8 I've been responsible for caring and training many pets and dogs of my own. I've dogsat for multiple neighbors all the way through college and after. I'm a huge dog lover and will go to great lengths to care for your pet. I’m a college film graduate working part time. I spend as much time as I can outside or surrounded by animals. I live with a malshi dog, cat and my husband’s rat terrier mix. I'm kind of a dog nerd so chances are I've already read up on your breeds specific qualities. I'm friendly and love to be active whether it's running on a hiking trail or playing catch in the yard with your furry friend. Let's get in touch and I'll try my best to help you in any way I can. Thank you for your time, CJ (: I’m currently working part time so I have plenty of time to play with your pups! I am available for boarding every day of the week except Sundays I have a large backyard and two friendly dogs to keep your fur baby company. I can easily crate your small - medium dog if needed

Grateful for your support and happy that you were not scared of Atlas. Atlas is big and very vocal, which scares people, but he's actually very friendly. Glad Raima saw that :)

Bailey is hands down the best person ever to watch your dog. She is great with our big 65 pound Australian poodle and she is a natural around him. She was never late taking Romo out and it’s clear she is passionate about dogs. Definitely plan on booking her again in the future!

We had an absolutely amazing experience with Alison! We have three dogs, and she handled them with so much care, attention, and patience—it truly gave us peace of mind while we were away. Our booking was pretty last minute (only 3–4 days in advance), and she was incredibly accommodating right from the start. When our flight plans changed, she didn’t hesitate to add an extra stop for us, which we appreciated more than we can say. She went above and beyond by bringing treats and toys for our dogs, and it was clear she spent quality time with them—especially outside, which they love. We could tell they were happy, well cared for, and getting lots of attention. She did an outstanding job, and we will 100% be using her again in the future. Highly, highly recommend!

Guadalupe is fantastic! Our very large pup loved her coming over and checking in on him while we're traveling. And our two very shy/skittish cats actually come out to say hello to her when she drops is. Highly recommend

I am SO THANKFUL that Melanie was our first experience with ROVER. She loved our animals like her own. She is just a genuine, thru and thru animal lover. We were very nervous about someone we didn't know coming into our home and taking care of our babies like we do. She takes care of them better than we do and they absolutely fell in love with almost instantly. We are so appreciative for you, Melanie!

About: I’ve taken care of many dogs over the past couple years. I’ve considered getting a big dog for myself, but I do enjoy watching them for awhile and then having them go back to their owners I currently work from home as a mortgage originator. I will be around most of the time for your dog or cat. I bring your dog for several walks per day (depending on the dog) and I have a yard. I only board one dog at a time, unless you own two dogs that need to be boarded. This way, your dog will get my full attention and you will not have to worry about your dog getting along with another dog. For dogs in my home, they be with me in my front room all day. I’d walk them several times a day, usually a mile or two depending upon the size of the dog. I also have a fairly large yard for dogs that like to run or play fetch.

Jordan was fabulous! She was able to administer oral calming medication to our cat during our absence which we have not been able to do and she sent great reports and pictures. She did everything we asked her to do. We plan to use her again if we need a pet sitter.
