Your pup will receive the best care

Pet care experience

Rover is a job that my boyfriend, Nick, and I do together. We love animals so it's the perfect side job for us. I have been working with animals since I was a child. My family owns a farm so I was raised around many different animals my whole life. I have a part time job and I do work most days of the week but get home at a decent time. However, Nick works from home and has flexible schedule so you can be assured your pets will always be well taken care of.

Joy and her boyfriend did a good job looking after our two dogs. We had just moved to the area, did not have a fenced yard yet, and one dog was still recovering from ACL surgery. They walked the dogs in the backyard every day, since our one dog was still on limited activity. We received multiple pictures, and Joy was very good at communicating if her visit schedule (3 drop-in visits/day) would vary in the slightest. An added bonus - Joy lives in the neighborhood. Overall, we were very pleased and would use her again.

Joy and her boyfriend, Nick, did a wonderful job caring for my pets!! I have 2 young Australian Cattle Dogs. The 2 year old is a pretty good dog at this point, but the 1 year old dog is a real handful who can be difficult. Both Joy and Nick were very tolerant of the younger dog, taking time to play with her often. They also made sure to give my 2 year dog some special attention once the attention hogging younger dog was put in her crate for the night. They sent me TONS of pictures every day. I LOVED that! It was so great to see everyone happy, and knowing that their schedule was being maintained. Joy and Nick house sat for us as well. They were very respectful of my home. They took good care of everything. I have no hesitation in referring them to others and I plan to use their services again!

Joy and her boyfriend were great to work with. She was very easy to reach via text and sent pics of my pup while we were away. I came home to a very happy dog and a tidy house - we’ll definitely reach out to her next time we travel!

I have a fenced in yard. I also have a friendly beagle who would love some friends to play with. He is older so he doesn’t get around as fast as a young pup but he will still play!
