“Yasmine communicated well throughout the stay and contacted me quickly anytime something came up, including when one of my dogs had diarrhea. She would even sit with my dog to make sure she ate and to ensure everything was okay. My dogs were happy and comfortable with her, and the house was left in great condition. She truly went above and beyond, which I really appreciated.”
“Marianne went above and beyond to make our shy kitty, Sushi, comfortable and happy. We will definitely book her again as she was so attractive to both our pet and our home. She was communicative, flexible, friendly, and thoughtful. Thank you so much, Marianne. You were perfection!!”

“Abigail took great care of my cat. I am new to the area and when called for an unexpected work trip, I turned to Rover. I reached out to Abigail and Abigal and received a response within 30 minutes she was available and assisted with setting up the meet/greet. My cat was a stray and is very timid, Abilgail took such great care not to traumatize her and was even able to get close enough to capture a photo. The fact that my cat didn't run is a great compliment to Abigail's patience and caring. I highly recommend this team if you are in the Fort. Lauderdale area, they will be my first go to for the next trip.”

Melrose Park cat parents share their Rover experiences
Marcos took great care of my mom’s cats while we were away. He was attentive, kind, and very reliable throughout the entire booking. He made sure the cats were well cared for, sent plenty of photos and updates, and was always quick to respond whenever I reached out with a question. It gave us a lot of peace of mind knowing the cats were being looked after by someone responsible and caring. Everything was done exactly as promised, and the communication was excellent from start to finish. We would absolutely book with Marcos again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a dependable pet sitter.
Andrea was wonderful with my cat, Loki! He’s a very shy and scared boy but she was patient, reliable, and very responsive. She always arrived on time, made sure he was fed, and sent pictures, which gave me a lot of peace of mind. I will definitely book with her again!
Mafalda with great with my 2 kitties! She kept me updated with video's and photos which help to feel at ease knowing they are getting fed and some snuggles. On the last day she even swept up the area around my liter box which was really nice to come home to:). Thank you Mafalda! Will book again:)
Nevaeh is wonderful! My big dogs loved her, my guinea pigs appreciated her, and my cats even decided that she was a friend. She respected my home and followed all of the instructions for them. She communicates quickly and kindly. I will choose her again and again.
Lindsay was amazing! She checked on my three cats over Thanksgiving week/weekend and did such a great job. She was reliable, trustworthy, and communicated every visit with pictures and updates, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. My cats were well cared for and happy when I got home. I highly recommend her and will definitely book her again!
