Katie is wonderful. My normally shy cats loved her immediately and that means a lot to us. She sent us great pictures on every visit and we wouldn’t hesitate to book her again in the future!

I had a great experience with our McKenzie! She dropped in to spend time with my puppy Barrett, and it was clear right away how comfortable and natural she is with dogs. She gave my pup plenty of attention, playtime, and care, which made a big difference in keeping him happy and stimulated while we were away. She was reliable and communicative! The best Rover experience I’ve had. I had peace of mind knowing Barrett was in good hands. I’ll definitely be booking with her routinely again and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and great with dogs.

if you are first time user of Rover, this review is for you. We had to leave Michigan for a week and our dog does not tolerate kennels very well at all. All of our options for watching our dog in our home (family, friends) were unavailable. So we turned to Rover and to Taylor. We were so nervous! But aside from diligently dropping in to care for our dog three times a day, Taylor did something so extra special: at our meet and greet, Taylor expertly helped us navigate the Rover online process - precise, scheduling, etc. Taylor is the perfect advocate for Rover! Our dog got to spend the week in her own home, and Taylor was a superstar. We are already planning our next trip and Taylor will be our go-to choice to care for our doggo! if you are new to Rover or a frequent user, get in touch with Taylor! She way surpassed our expectations!

I can't believe how lucky I got when I asked Hollie to take care of my pets a few months ago. I have now booked her for 3 occasions, 2 overnights, and 1 drop in. She will forever be my first pick.

About: Hi! My name is Rebeca and I’m a huge dog lover. My husband and I recently welcomed our miniature Aussiedoodle puppy, Luna, into our home, and caring for her has made us even more passionate about dogs. I understand how important it is to leave your pet with someone you trust. I treat every dog as if they were my own, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’m very attentive to details and routines, so if your dog has specific feeding schedules, training needs, or favorite activities, I’m happy to follow them. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, or just relaxing, I make sure they get the care and attention they deserve. Your dog’s safety and happiness are my top priorities, and I’ll always keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind. I would love to meet you and your pup! 🐾 Since I work from home, I’m able to provide consistent care and attention throughout the day. Pets in my care receive regular potty breaks, walks, playtime, and lots of companionship. My daily routine already includes caring for my puppy, so adding another dog to our routine fits very naturally. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I provide a calm, clean, and pet-friendly environment where dogs can feel safe and relaxed. Because I work from home, pets are rarely left alone and receive consistent supervision, attention, and companionship throughout the day. I follow each dog’s routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and rest time. I’m comfortable caring for puppies and understand the importance of structure, patience, and positive reinforcement. I also have a puppy at home, so maintaining a safe environment is already part of my daily routine. I make sure all spaces are pet-safe and always supervise interactions to ensure every dog feels comfortable. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space and carefully follow all instructions to keep pets comfortable and maintain their normal routine. Communication is very important to me, so I always send regular updates, photos, and messages so pet parents feel confident and at ease while they’re away.

About: I’ve owned pets my whole life, worked at my local animal shelter, and own my own rescue pup. She has taught me the biggest lesson on care and compassion! I’ve cared for senior dogs and new puppies. I am very active and like to keep myself and my pets entertained! I am a school psychotherapist with a very flexible schedule and summers off :) I like to stay busy, so I try to take on fun side quests when possible! I have a fenced in backyard, I live in a very safe, pet-loving, neighborhood, and my own dog to keep your pets entertained! With my own pet in mind, I would not put either animal in an unsafe position.

About: I’ve been around cats and dogs since childhood. My friends, family, and co-workers have trusted me to care for their fur babies! I have a senior pittie with reactive/aggressive behavior, so I do have experience and empathy towards that! I work full time Monday-Thursday 7:30am-5pm but can drop in after work or later in the evening as well. Friday-Sunday are my more flexible days! I fully respect the owner’s schedule for their pet and will follow whatever instructions are needed to ensure your pet is safe and cared for properly. I would ask the same for my own!

About: Im a reliable and active animal lover. I’ve cared for dogs for family and friends and treat every pet like my own. I’m attentive to each animals needs whether it’s going for a walk, playtime, or giving them company. I’m a nurse looking to hangout with some furry friends and get some extra time outside. I’m a nurse working full time looking to find a way to spend extra time outside. During the week I am available early in the mornings and in the evenings. I am available anytime during the weekends. I provide a safe, clean, and pet-friendly environment where your pet will be treated like family. I have one three year old cat at home who is shy but friendly. I prioritize constant supervision, secure spaces, and clear communication with owners, including updates and photos. Your pet’s comfort, safety, and routine are always my top priorities.

James very obviously cares about animals and is very knowledgeable about dogs. He handled my large dog with ease. I feel like my doggo had a great time with James, honestly I think my dog was a little disappointed when I got home because he enjoyed his time with James so much. Would recommend.

Booking with Kelsey & Forrest to take care of my cat was such a great experience! They were very communicative, sent pictures and videos of my cat, provided updates, and took very good care of my girl 🐱. This was my first experience with Rover and it was very pleasant. If you want someone that’ll take care of your pet like their own, don’t hesitate to book Kelsey & Forrest. I will definitely book them again in the future :)
