“Meng was so helpful and communicative. It can be hard to leave your dog in the care of someone else while your away but Meng sent plenty of photos which assured me that Jasmine was OK. Happy to have someone who was so readily available.”


“Harvest did such a great job at cat sitting for me! The photos are so cute. My shy and quiet cat cozied right up to her and cuddled. Harvest did a great job at communication and taking care of my kitty. Looking forward to having her back on my future vacations! I know I’m in good hands. Highly recommend her!”


“Couldn't have been a better experience. Today was very much a trial run to see how Mickie and my dog Stella got on and it went great. Stella is definitely quite the excitable handful and Mickie handled everything so well.”


“She is literally the best! My first experience with Rover & made it so easy for me to be at ease while away. Amazing communication and I could tell from photos how much my Buttercup loved her!”


“Zoe was fantastic with our two cats and went above and beyond to make them feel comfortable. Our Snowshoe cat is extremely shy but was out and about with Zoe in the first day. Highly recommend and will definitely be rebooking for any future travel!”

“Being new to the area, I had to tackle the task of finding a new Rover sitter that would meet our needs, with the highest priority being finding someone who we felt understood how much our dogs’ safety and happiness mean to us.

I’m sure my dogs wish I was still on vacation so they could spend more time with their new best friend Mark! :)”

“Elizabeth took care of my two cats (one of whom is diabetic) over the Christmas break…she came for a meet and greet to learn how to administer insulin to a cat. She is a med student so picked it up quickly. Wonderful feedback and photos daily. I was so pleased and confident with her checking on my two beloved cats…one who is feisty and the other very very shy! Thanks to Elizabeth for a great job!!”

Key aspects of home life safety include securing toxic substances, keeping small objects out of reach, and providing a safe, clean environment free from hazards like electrical cords or open windows. Regularly checking pet-proofing measures such as gates, fencing, and furniture stability can prevent accidents. Additionally, ensuring that pets have access to clean water, appropriate bedding, and a quiet, safe space to rest will contribute to their overall health and happiness. Prioritizing these safety measures gives pets the freedom to explore while keeping them protected from common household dangers.
