1. Tracy T.
“Tracy was beyond amazing!! This was my first time using Rover as I was out of the country for a few days. I was naturally a bit nervous but Tracy immediately offered a meet & greet to come meet my cat Lily before I went away. She sent soo many pictures and videos which showed just how much Lily loved Tracy & how happy lily was when Tracy came by each day! She kept an eye on her water bowl, took care of her litter, and turned on the air conditioning on days where it felt a little warm! Tracy went so above and beyond & I know lily can’t wait to have her come by again!!”

“Beth is amazing! This is my second time having her watch my cats and she always takes such great care of them!!

Allison made us feel great about being away from our little gal and took the stress out of being away from our dog. She even came over to meet us before we left. We will definitey book with Allison again! :))”

“Christine is amazing! She is super friendly and she was very easy going with our schedule. It was our first time use Rover and she made it a great experience for us. She took care of our 2 cats when we were on a vacation. She updated us daily with awesome pictures, and made our cats feel not lonely when we were gone. We definitely recommend her.”
17. Vanessa P.
“Vanessa is the perfect sitter for my pup! She is extremely responsive, flexible, and kind. I (and my dog) look forward to Vanessa sitting in the future!! Highly recommend :)”
18. Carly G.
“I have never known a more loving pet owner than Carly. She adores dogs of all kinds, big and small, cute and ugly. She cares for her own two dogs and a couple of her elderly neighbors' dogs so responsibly, as if she was a parent for them. This is a girl who can't watch a sad movie with a dog in it because she feels so strongly about animals and their feelings, even fictional ones. In short, you cannot go wrong with Carly. Her neighbors trust her implicitly with their animals, and she'll build that sort of relationship with anyone she works with through your program.”
19. Kaila S.
“She is the best! She always sends me pictures of my Rue girl and is always on time to take her out/ play with her. She is super reliable and so sweet!”
20. Marisa G.
