“Maelee was amazing! My kitty’s litter was scooped and water refreshed more than requested and communication was excellent. I received lots of photos and good updates. I recommend Maelee!”
“I left my dog, Theo, with Kelsey and Forrest for a few hours, and definitely plan on using them again in the future! They were very accommodating, and facilitated a meet-up beforehand, so that Theo could get comfortable with them and their space before his stay. When I dropped him off, he didn’t even look back! Kelsey and Forrest are very trustworthy and obviously animal lovers.”
“Elise was great and did everything she said she was going to do and what we talked about with her beforehand. She checked in and stayed with our Lana which at first I thought would be overkill but it was nice to know she was there to hang out a bit with her while we were away. She took her for walks and even spent extra time watering our outdoor plants. I’d recommend her and we will reach out to her again next time we need Lana looked after.”
“Kim did a great job taking care of our cats! She provided lots of pictures and details letting us know how they were doing. Having her drop in really put us at ease while we were away. We will definitely book with her again!”
“Thanks so much for watching Spud, and for adding another day for me at the last minute when my flight got delayed!! Really appreciate it. He definitely enjoys playing with the kids.”
“Brian was very easy to work with and did a great job. He did a meet and greet with our dogs beforehand to make sure they had his scent before the visit. This was our first time using rover and we really appreciated him for making the whole process a lot less worrying.”
“Katrina was great! Easy to communicate with, on time and sent updates on my cat. He absolutely loved her. I look forward to her watching him again in the future!”
“Rachael has been so great to work with; great communication, lots of pics and takes great care of our pup! We've used her regularly long term and would recommend!”
“Thank you sooo much for looking in on dawber this weekend! I missed the message about trying to clean him up. He’s picky when we try to get close. We have been trying to cut the mattes out from his ear for months. He won’t let us put on a muzzle. We actually just got home. Thanks again and if you’re interested and available in the future we would like to reach back out”
“Molly did such a fantastic job watching our fur babies while we were out of town for a couple days! This was our first time having Molly come over and she certainly exceeded our expectations. She sent photos and video updates which gave us so much peace of mind. We will definitely use her again and recommend her to any of our family or friends with fur babies too!”
“Nowinza was wonderful with Daisy! Asked specific details about her care ahead of time, was very pleasant and even dried her off after a walk.”

About: Hello my name is Mimi! I am 23 years old I live with my husband and his family and we have three dogs and three cats. Paco and Roxy are oldest dogs they are about to turn 3 years old In March and we just got our puppy scrappy he is about to be 4 months old. We have three cats sunshine, melody, and snowy that are also going to be turning three years old this year. I work part time at Chow hound I have a very flexible schedule when it comes to working for rover as well. I have always loved animals my whole life but I grew up in apartments so never really got the chance to have pets of my own other then just small animals such as rabbits,hamsters,ferrets, and guinea pigs. Then once me and my husband got together we got pups and cats and we been really happy with them sometimes they are rebellious but they are also what brings joy into our lives. Also back when I started Rover I started it because since I couldn't have dogs or cats of my own I was like why not help people that need help with there pets so that's when I got introduced to Rover getting to do what I love to do and help others! I am working part time at Chow hound and also work Rover my job they are very flexable! If it is necessary I do request days off if needed! I try my best to give my clients dogs a good time and respect there home if I do housing sitting jobs and as for when I have my clients over dogs over I just let them play with my pups and it’s great I enjoy seeing my dogs socialize with other dogs.
“Jenn took wonderful care of our kitties! She went above and beyond. Jenn handled 2 emergency vet visits and because our cat got an ear infection a day after we left on vacation. She was on top of it, handling everything with professionalism and made us feel a lot better. We would like to use her every time we go away if she will let us. The house was as we left it…she was kind and clean and wonderful. We cannot Thank her enough! Sonny thanks you ….Pita thanks you ! Kim and Greg”
