“Molly is the absolute best! I was Leary about hiring a stranger to come into my home. But Molly is very professional, and she sincerely cares sooooo much about my pet. She explained the ins and outs of the “Rover” policies, which insure a safe experience for both parties. I will recommend Molly to all my friends and family. My kitty and I just love her, and will be hiring her again and again.”


4. Macy S.

“This was our first experience using Rover. Thank you for making it so easy. Macy S was the best! She was so polite and conscientious. She sent the cutest pictures of our cats warming up to her and it made us feel relieved they were safe so we could enjoy our time away from them. Overall very positive experience. Would use Rover again.”


5. Zosha C.

“I can't recommend Zosha highly enough. I scheduled daily visits while we were on vacation for our cat Chloe to be given her medication and some love - and Zosha did such a great job at both! He went out of his way to give her plenty of affection and even treats on her puzzle toy. Everything was clean and left in great shape, Zosha was super communicative, and sent lots of pictures! Chloe is definitely a fan, and so are we. Thanks again, Zosha!”

17. Aiden Y.
About: I've taken care of my family dog for a long time. I always try to make sure the dog is having fun, and to understand what the dog wants, even though it can't say it! I prioritize long walks, lots of play time, and constant care and vigilance to what the dog needs. I am currently unemployed for the summer, mixed in with traveling. My daily schedule is wide open and I am always available. Whenever you need it, I can be there. In the clients home, I am always attentive to if the dog needs to use the bathroom or if something happens like an accident or vomit in the house, I am quick to clean it up. I am constantly vigilant, and will do anything to make sure the dog is safe.


18. Cindy M.

“I’m so glad to have found Cindy, a fellow cattle dog lover in the neighborhood!! She’s friendly and clearly an animal lover, and sent a great update with photos about her drop-in visit with Pete!! Hope to have Cindy’s help again in the future!”


19. Haley G.
“Haley has taken care of my Maddie for 2 years. She takes her for walks, feeds her and spends quality time with her. Maddie was a rescue dog that is very shy and Haley has taught her to be more social. Not only does Haley take care of Maddie but she stay in my home and watches it while I am gone. I would not feel comfortable about leaving Maddie or my home if it wasn't for the fact I know i can count on Haley to take care of things.”


20. Patrick & Heidi H.
“It has been so awesome to have Patrick do drop in visits with my puppy. Patrick has been incredibly reliable, and his updates and photos provide so much peace of mind while I'm at work.”
