Reviews


First time using rover and Jessica and Elliot were great! They sent me so many updates and photos it made me feel so much more comfortable!


Jessica did absolutely amazing with our American Bulldog Draco and cat Otis. Draco is a big anxious girl and Jessica handled her so much care! Our trip took an unexpected turn due to some weather and She was flexible with us and able to stop in an extra day which was a life saver. Thank you again for taking care of our babies and easing my anxiety too while being away from them!
Truly a loving and caring couple of people. They provided constant updates about our pets, went above and beyond by cleaning up accidents, and made sure both our dog and cats experienced as little stress as possible while we were away. They also took some great photos and stayed in close touch throughout, which really helped ease the separation anxiety for both our pets and us. We came home to happy, well cared for animals. We couldn’t be more grateful for the attention and compassion they showed and wouldn't hesitate to schedule with them again or recommend them to others looking to travel for extended periods.

Elliot did a fantastic job with Sox! Loved the feedback/pictures.
