1. Kolton C.

“Kolton was fantastic! Provided daily updates and photos. I always said I would NEVER use Rover due to the horror stories I have heard but after this time, I will definitely use it again, Kolton specifically. He gained my trust almost instantly after the first time he came to visit both my dogs before we left for a week. I cannot say enough good things about him. If you are hesitant about booking him, DON’T BE!”


2. Renae D.

“We are always completely at ease having Renae care for Olive. Renae seems to genuinely love spending time with our pup and takes excellent care of her, as well as our home. It is a pleasure to have someone like Renae that we can count on when we need to be out of town!”


3. Rachel T.
“Rachel did a great job with my two dogs while we were out of town. I felt like I could trust her from the start, and she proved that intuition right. She shared photos and sent frequent updates. I’d gladly hire Rachel again.”




4. Michele M.

“I never worry about my pets when they are in Michele’s care. She is very patient with my senior cat and shy dog. I appreciate her updates throughout the stay.”


5. Meghan C.


“Megan was an excellent sitter for our dog. She took him for walks, sent us pictures everyday and even cleaned. Our dog gets a little anxious when we leave and she made us and him feel at ease. She will be our first call on our next trip out of town.”


6. Megan E.

“Megan took such great care of our frenchie over the wknd. The night before she came, he got sick. Megan was flexible and in communication as we worked through it. She watched over him well as he recovered, sending lots of updates and was not hesitant to ask questions while she cared for him. I will definitely use Megan again!”


7. Kylie M.
“Kylie has worked at my veterinary hospital for over two years now. She has shown an ability to learn different task needed to work at the clinic. She has shown a great ability to handle both cats and dogs of varying temperaments. She has been a very reliable and responsible employee to the point we are always saddened when her breaks from college are over and she has to leave the clinic to return to her education. I have no doubt Kylie would be an exceptional worker and would have no issues dealing with the animals. Dr. Kenneth Overmyer Shorewood Animal Hospital LLC”


8. Georgia M.

“Georgia was wonderful with my cat and dog while I was away on vacation! She sent regular updates with photos and finished out a round of medications my dog was on. I particularly appreciated her flexibility. She was able to add a day onto the scheduled time at the last minute for me. She was easy to communicate with and my pets seem very happy to have been in her care. Since they are both needy velcro pets that says a lot. Thanks for your help Georgia! I will definitely book again if you are available next time I need a pet sitter!”


9. Jennifer D.

“Jennifer did so well with my dogs. She also made sure to give me daily updates and even sent me pictures. I will definitely be using her again in the future.”

15. Laney O.
“Laney has been a dog-walker and an overnight caretaker for my dog for the past two years. She is flexible, responsive, and has always been really easy to communicate with. She clearly adores dogs and has always been incredibly loving and caring for my basset hounds Charlie and Coco. She's very patient with them and always cleaned up when we were having house-training issues when Coco was a puppy. She has been walking them about once or twice a week fairly consistently. I trust her enough that she is the first person I contact when I need someone to stay at my home with them when I am out of town. I give Laney my highest recommendation. Please feel free to reach out to me if you have any other questions, etc.”


16. Brandon & Courtney S.

“Courtney and Brandon were amazing! So kind, kept me informed the entire time and far exceeded my expectations as a first time user of Rover. HIGHLY recommend, would rate 10 stars if I could and I will absolutely use them again in the future.”

18. Sara H.
“Sara and her daughter Alayna stayed the night at our house with our dog Dublin and I couldn’t be happier with them!! My boy clearly got the love and affection he needed while we were away. The pics I received showed a happy pup and my home was spotless when we got back. Thank you Sara for taking such great care of my anxious boy”


19. Stevie A.
“Stevie is an animal lover. She has cared for many pets and does a wonderful job. She plays and loves on them as if they were her own pets. She will take excellent care of your pets. I recommend her whole heartedly..”
