Kade was incredible! This was my first time using Rover so I was incredibly nervous. Kade handled my grouchy, shy dog perfectly. It was such a relief to feel like my dog was in such good hands and I didn't have to worry about him. Kade followed all instructions to a tee and worked around the hot weather to take care of Joe in the safest way possible.

Kathryn patiently engaged with my cats on their terms, gained their trust, and brought them out of their shells. She followed the weirdly specific feeding instructions my one cat requires perfectly. She gave them love and attention, and sent me photos so I would know they were okay. 5 out of 5 stars!

Wow! Can't say enough good thinks about Lila. We were in a bind as our pet coverage plans fell through at the last minute. Lila's quick response and communication put our trip back on track. She was prompt to squeeze in a meet & greet, which went great as she made good effort to connect with our four-legged family member. Scheduled her for several check-ins over couple days while we were gone. She was more than generous with her time and efforts to engage with my dog. We loved getting the updates, pics and videos with the Rover app. Lila's updates were informative and put our minds at ease. We will definitely be using her again and strongly encourage others to consider her for your needs.

Amanda was phenomenal with taking care of Indi while I was out of town. Indi was feeling very sick and Amanda gave consistent updates and went above and beyond to help take care of her and make sure she was as comfortable as possible. Thank you so much Amanda, will definitely be rebooking for the future!

I trust him with my pets for the long haul!

She came to the rescue at the very last min. We ended up staying an extra day of our vacation and the originally scheduled sitter wasn't available. Not the best animal photographer 😂 but that's not the service. I was happy to come home to happy n healthy Babies

Andrew has been by far the best dog walker you could ask for. Always going above and beyond. He literally offered to install the portable AC in my house while I was at work and the AC went out. Leaving Richmond is going to be hard but finding anyone better with my dog will be impossible!

We reached out to Jessica, because she seemed like a fit for our elderly dog with high medical needs. She was warm, accommodating, and she would have been the perfect fit had our dog not passed away before she could begin providing him care. She had not previously injected a dog, but she was a trooper - coming over for a visit, and gave Ricky insulin with ease. I also felt safe giving her a key to my home. I have already told my best friend (who has three dogs) about her, and while we are heartbroken by the circumstances, we remain hopeful we will encounter her through our dog loving friends who consistently need the kind of support I am confident she provides. Thank you again, Jessica.

I highly recommend hiring Elijah. He’s gone above and beyond taking care of my cats, making sure they have everything they need and giving them lots of love while I was away. He kept me up to date with pictures and check ins, and was kind enough to pick up a package in my absence and get the contents put away in the fridge. Will definitely continue to work with him!

This was my second time using Thane and, as expected, they were great! They gave my kitty Rat all the snuggles he requires and had no problem with his medication. Their updates each visit were thorough. I was a bit disorganized while planning this time away and they were very understanding. I’m so glad to have found them!

This was our first time using services through Rover and we are so glad we did! Cat was absolutely amazing through the entire process keeping us well informed at each drop in. She was incredibly patient with our fur babies and their unique personalities, even befriending our shy boy in record time. Thank you so much, Cat!

Brenna was an outstanding cat sitter for me. Very communicative, clearly loves animals, and overall just great! My little guy was pretty nervous and Brenna offered to make an extra visit to keep him company. She was willing to go above and beyond. Highly recommend
