Heidi was so wonderful to work with! She was great at communicating and while we were gone, our heater breaker flipped off and she quickly helped identify it and fix it. Our cat Pearl was well cared for while we were away and we would gladly book Heidi again!

Troy has been nothing but amazing, not only with our dog but with everything he does! Our pup is a bit people selective and moose was comfortable in no time due to Troy being patient and knowledgeable about how to handle a more reactive dog. My husband and I would 100% recommend him to take care of your furry friend too! He is always on time and makes sure he leaves the house cleaner then when he got there!

This was our first time using Rover. We asked Lisa to see about helping us out when we were going out of town because she has many repeat customers and great reviews. She agreed to watch our cats and came to our house prior to meet the cats and get any special directions. Lisa asked questions and even got to pet a few of our cats. During out vacation she stopped by and kept us updated on how things were going including pictures! Thanks Lisa! We look forward to seeing you next vacation!

Dachshunds approved. I booked Morgan for drop in visits while we were out of town. I was kind of nervous on how my 2 judgy wienerdogs would do, but somehow she won them over, and the pictures she sent proved it. So happy it all worked out.

Jenea was awesome! We were on vacation for over a week and Jenea did drop in visits twice a day for us! Her communication was great! She sent us updates throughout the day and lots of pictures my kids loved looking at! She went above and beyond and we will definitely use her services again!

Our cats are still warming up to the idea of people and tend to hide (even from us on some days), but Nichole did her best to win them over anyway. It gave me great peace of mind to know the person checking on them was so attentive, even if the cats themselves weren't enthusiastic about a new friend. Thanks so much!

We had the pleasure of working with Tatum as our dog sitter, and I can’t recommend her enough! She took wonderful care of our dogs during our vacation. Tatum helped us out with only a week notice as our other sitter had to cancel last minute. I instantly felt comfortable when I met her and knew our dogs would be in great hands. Tatum was always responsive and provided updates, so I never had to worry. We came home to happy and well-cared-for dogs. You can truly see the genuine love she has for animals. Highly recommended!

About: I have always had pets growing up as a child and my love for them has grown into my adulthood even more. I have a passion for learning and understanding all different types of animals. I’m currently working part time so I have plenty of time to spend with your fur babies! I am available anytime after 10am every day! My apartment complex is very pet friendly! I also live near downtown so the fur babies and I can go on long or short beautiful walks!

About: I've raised three of my own dogs and many cats. I used to work with barn cats and cattle dogs as well. I also keep and love fish and will take care of them. I currently work part-time at a doggy day care. I graduated high school this year. I spend almost all my time taking care of my own pets, or working with other's dogs. Half of my yard is fenced and has a pond that my dogs play in at times. Dogs will likely spend most of the time inside the house if they are unable to swim for safety reasons but they will be taken for walks and able to play outside under supervision. Dogs will be given lots of options of toys to play with and will be able to play with my dogs as well.
