First time using Rover and jenevieve made everything so easy for us! She watched our boy milo for the week and went above and beyond for us! Milo looked as if he was missing us and so she took Milo over to her own home so Milo could play it with her pups and even got to stay the night! We appreciate everything she has done. Highly recommend this lady here!

As always, Monica was so great with our dogs while we were away on our honeymoon. She went above and beyond for us—even watering an indoor plant for us, and offering to add on an impromptu drop in visit because of an impending tornado warning/thunder storm! Her notes were specific and in depth. Our dogs clearly love her. We have two rovers we sincerely trust, and she is one of them! Thanks Monica!

Jessica was a lifesaver on short notice. She took great care of our babies and sent photos. We got a super cute letter from the kitties :) It was nice to know they were loved on in our absence!

We needed a drop-in visit for a single day with only a couple days notice. Brad agreed to do it. He met with us and our dogs prior to the day of the visit and took detailed notes and got to know the boys. He sent us photos and a detailed report of the visit. We were very impressed and plan to use Brad again in the future if he's available.

Lisa has been amazing getting to know our protective dog, Rosie. She’s been very open to meeting in person a few times before coming alone to make sure both dogs know that she is friendly. She is very accommodating and has been very flexible, respectful, kind, and loving toward both our dogs. So very thankful and excited to be working with Lisa!

Sidney did a great job with her drop-in visit. We came home to a happy, content dog and it was comforting to get photos midday and know he was getting a break from his kennel. We would hire her again!

Keturah took care of my dogs during my workdays for a handful of years. I have a chiweenie (who frequently gets eye infections) and a nervous yorkie who requires a certain diet. She's always done great with them and still gets excited to see both of my dogs. I still reach out to her when I'm going out of town. Very reliable girl and loving towards my little guys. I've always been grateful for her.

We are so happy we found Natasha! This was our first Rover experience. We wanted to try in-home care, as our dogs were returning from a previous kennel stressed and sick. Natasha was the perfect choice. She was professional and caring and our dogs loved her right away. She sent lots of pictures and write-ups with every visit. It was a perfect experience and we’ve already booked her again!

Very knowledgeable, engaged, timely, and kept me up to speed after each visit with notes and lots of photos. Javon made house visits to care for my attention-loving, high energy goof dog and aloof old-man cat. The boys are happy, which is a night and day difference from the times we chose to do conventional boarding.

Having had the pleasure of entrusting my fur babies to Bailey, I can confidently say that she is exceptional in every way. Her dedication, reliability, and genuine love for animals is evident in how my dogs eagerly anticipate their walks and visits. They go above and beyond, ensuring my dogs are safe, happy, and exercised. I highly recommend Bailey for anyone seeking a caring and professional dog walker and caregiver.

Maddy is awesome! She went above and beyond to take care of my dogs over the 9 days. When she saw my dog was scared during a storm, she stayed and comforted her. Communication was friendly and timely-I looked forward to the updates. Already working on the next visit. Thank you!
