This was my first booking on rover and I was so anxious about leaving my dog with someone I didn’t know. Anais communicated well and frequently with me. I felt so much better knowing my dog was being taken care of!

Melina did such a great job drooping in and feeding my elderly cat, Momo. She was prompt with timing and sent lots of pictures and updates. I could tell that Momo really liked her 🥰 would definitely recommend Melina to anyone!!

Cynthia did two drop visits in one day with my sweet Edwyn pup. She kept me updated each step of the way and left my keys in the proper spot. I especially appreciated her photos and walk summaries. Thank you, Cynthia!

Steffanie has cared for our dog Simon multiple times over the last couple of years. Most of those occasions have been for 3 or 4 days at a time. Simon adores her and she shows much love for him. She is neat, kind, and she carefully follows our instructions regarding our house and our pet. We strongly recommend her to Rover.

About: I don’t just care for your pets, I treat them as part of my family. I love spending time with them, whether it’s playing, resting, or giving them attention, and I want your pet to feel loved at all times. I am currently available to care for your pets at any time, whether it’s during the day, night, or weekends. I offer flexible scheduling to fit your needs and ensure your pets receive the care and attention they deserve. I know that the most important thing is pet care, and one of those is their feeding. I can provide food at any necessary time, in case they have a specific feeding schedule, and I can do it without any problem. I will also dedicate enough time for play or bathroom breaks.

Laura has been an amazing caregiver for my dog, Reese, time and time again. I’ve hired her multiple times during holidays and work trips, and she always exceeds my expectations. Reese feels comfortable, happy, and completely trusts her. I’m usually nervous about leaving my dog with strangers or at dog hotels, but Laura provides the perfect solution by staying at my home so Reese can remain in his own familiar space. It’s never easy to be away from my dog for an extended period, but knowing Laura’s dedication and love for dogs gives me peace of mind. I highly recommend her!

Lindsey LOVES dogs! When I first adopted my dog, Lindsey played a crucial role in helping her settle in. With her calm demeanor and generous supply of treats, she helped my shy shelter pup gain confidence and thrive. Lindsey is reliable and compassionate. I am so thankful for all that she taught me!

Karla is a lovely, kindhearted, and respectful person. Karla has dogs of her own and loves them to death, I never seen anyone have such a love for being with/around animals as karla. Great person to have to walk your dogs if you really care about your pets being cared for.

I've been a client of Kye's for seven years. He's watched my two cats, a chaotic crew of chickens, and my 2 naughty dogs (pitty mixes raised on a wolf sanctuary). My partner and I feel so confident and safe leaving our animal family in his care. He provides excellent and prompt updates, he's respectful of our space, and our home is always cleaner than we left it! He also has quite the green thumb and cares for our plant friends as well. 10/10 would recommend!

About: I've been a dog and pet owner since a child, and love pets! I love seeing their personalities shine and making sure that they are happy and comfortable. I am often the pet sitter in my family and friend group and have been asked to walk, watch, and feed dogs of all sizes, as well as cats, birds, and fish. I am currently working only part time and have a lot of flexibility in my schedule to be able to play, watch, and walk with your pets! In my home, I have a fenced in yard and one very friendly small dog to keep your pet company. My home is cozy but safe and comfortable for pets. When it comes to watching pets in your home, I am super respectful, able to follow precise instructions, and will keep your pet's well being as the main priority.

We can’t say enough great things about Kerri! Since Hopper is a senior dog, we’re always concerned about who takes care of her when we’re away. Kerri put our minds at ease by keeping us updated with detailed recaps (which were so fun to read) and plenty of adorable pictures. Thank you, Kerri, for keeping our girl safe, comfortable, and loved while we were away ❤️

Amiri did a great job with our pup over the holidays. He walked her with all of his check ins and sent regular photos and messages. He also made sure she didn't track in mud in the house when it was raining so much there winter days. Would happily book him again..
