“Avery took very good care of my cat. She spent a lot of quality time with her and was very communicative with how she was doing and if she had any questions etc.”


“Theresa was kind, thorough and extremely responsive! She kept me very informed on each visit and sent pictures and full updates! I felt like I could enjoy my vacation so much more knowing our cat was in good hands! We definitely plan to use her again in the future!”

“We really appreciated Kathleen’s updates and time spent looks for our shy girls. She spent time quietly at the house in case the girls warmed up enough to come out and visit. We would happily use her again for our next trip!”

“Dominique did such a great job checking in on my sweet cat while I was gone for Labor Day Weekend. She was thorough and communicative and stuck to the schedule! She also gave meds on schedule and lot of love and treats! She sent plenty of great pictures too :)”

“Grace did a great job with the drop-in visits for Gypsy. I made things super easy to the point where Grace didn’t have to do anything really but she still went above and beyond. She made sure to interact with Gypsy and took tons of pictures and even cleaned the water dishes. I would absolutely book with Grace again.”

“Jess has been a life saver during her drop in visits with my puppy Maggie. She’s always on time, sends me pictures, and continuously thinks about the little things to make sure my pup is always safe. Maggie loves her visits with Jess and I’m grateful to know that she is getting great care during my long days at work.”

“Lynn was great! Took good care of our Millybug and didn’t try to force a relationship (Milly is very standoffish and wants to be left alone). We appreciated Lynn‘s regular updates about Milly and the house - made it easy to relax on vacation even from several thousand miles away.”
“Lexie was amazing! Super communication and was always on time to the requested stop-ins. You could tell how much Lexie truly cared for our dog and I was so pleased to leave our dogs care in her hands. I loved all the report cards and pictures as well! We will definitely be rebooking with Lexie in the future when needed.”

“Jaime was very communicative and kind. Kept me up to date on my babies and I felt reassured that they were in good hands. Will definitely hire Jaime again!”

“Lydia was great! She was super responsible with my senior cat who needs oral meds. I could tell she took extra time to cuddle and play with him. She cleaned up everything before I came home. Booking and communication was easy and she sent pictures/updates regularly. I will definitely be booking with her again!”

“This was my Husband and I’s first time using Rover and Carly was such an amazing find. From the moment we met Carly we knew our Kitty Fur Babies would be in good hands. She made sure she had their daily num num routine down along with their other personal care needs. Carly put us at ease being away from our Fur Babies Gala and Floki. We looked forward to getting our Rover Report Card everyday. It had an update with how they were doing along with pictures. She was also very quick with responding to messages. We were so beyond happy with how she took care of our Fur Babies. You will not go wrong with Carly.”

About: For 6 years I’ve been taking care of my own 2 cats, feeding them in the morning/afternoon, cleaning up after them in, and playing and cuddling with them everyday. Now a Sophomore Stage Management Major at Western Michigan University, I miss my cats dearly while I’m away and I look forward to meeting your little fur baby and taking great care of them. I have (mostly) full day availability on Mondays, Wednesdays, (most) Saturdays and Sundays up to 5pm. So I have plenty of time to come in and check on your pet and take good care of them! Having taken care of two cats in my personal home, I am prepared to come in and clean up after your pet should they be sick. I take personal hygiene very seriously and will always be sure to take in any illness from other pets or people.
“We had to leave for the weekend in a hurry, and Anna was very willing to care for our kitty. Anna took great care of her, was very polite in establishing the logistics, and even cleaned up after our cat when she missed the litter box. We are so thankful!”

“Finding someone to watch my fur babies is always stressful. I appreciated being able to count on Rachel. My pups looked happy while we were away! I enjoyed all the photos.”

“Dee was absolutely amazing stopping over to give our guy some love and walks over the weekend. She was extremely communicative and provided lots of photos and updates each visit. Her notes were great and we had a wonderful experience and would definitely recommend her and will ask for her help again!”

About: Since I was a young girl, I have always had family pets who have quickly become my best friends. I just spent three months back home in FL taking care of my family pup while my parents were away, so with my recent move I am missing him extra :( I have always cared for him whether that be dog sitting while my parents are away, walking & feeding him, or even just cuddling on the couch. I am a sensitive and caring individual and have a sweet spot for dogs, treating each as if they are my own. I am an avid animal lover and fall in love with every dog I meet. Since I do not currently have my own dog, I am always looking to spend time with friends and families pups. As your care provider, I can promise daily updates including photos, calm and patience with dogs of all ages, playtime and exercise, flexible scheduling, overnight stays, and most importantly love and attention to your prized pups. Having recently graduated college and graduate school, I just moved to the city and am currently searching for job opportunities so I have lots of free time on my hands and LOVE doggies! I have lots of experience caring for my own families dogs, along with other friends and families companions. I will ensure your pets are happy and loved as I spend time with them. I also will make sure your home is secured and the safety of your pets is my number one priority while I care for them!

Lydia was great! She was super responsible with my senior cat who needs oral meds. I could tell she took extra time to cuddle and play with him. She cleaned up everything before I came home. Booking and communication was easy and she sent pictures/updates regularly. I will definitely be booking with her again!

This was my first time using Rover, and Lynn was an absolute treasure! Getting daily updates and seeing pictures of my little furballs during my time away was such a treat. This was a last minute booking, and Lynn was very generous with both her time and her flexibility, even coming over to meet my family on a holiday. It was so appreciated. My little gentlemen miss their new friend and they can't wait to see her again soon!

Kaitlin was amazing! She did drop ins for my two cats while I was away for almost a week. She kept me posted, sent pictures every day, even brushed them while I was gone, which I hadn't asked her to do. I felt comfortable having her in my house and I felt comfortable leaving my babies with her. I will absolutely be a repeat client!

Thank you for making our trip away stress free knowing the kitties would be taken good care of. Loved the pics and glad they had fun playing, especially with the laser pointer. Thank you for helping keep the plants watered also! The cats were content and everything looked great when we got home

Andy was great with our boys! He was able to give one of our cats meds and gave us meaningful/funny updates that captured our boys’ personalities to a T. It was wonderful to be able to see pictures of them and made the separation a little easier. Definitely will rebook Andy again in the future!
