3. Kristen E.

“If I could give more than 5 stars I would! This was my first Rover experience and I couldn’t be happier using Kristen! She gave thorough updates each visit and provided many pictures. She was more than accommodating with the weird schedule we had. I highly recommend Kristen and she even gave extra love to the additional indoor and outdoor animals (she was only responsible for one dog!). I am so glad to know we have someone to check on Rosie and the other animals during future travels. Thank you Kristen!!! 🫶🏽”

6. Chelsea V.

“Amanda was great! This was the first time I had left my dog and cat for so long (10 days) and was out of the country as well. She sent updates and pictures multiple times a day, responded quickly and took great care of them both. She even stopped by the house the day we got back to make sure we were home (she had heard flights were cancelled from where we were flying from and wanted to make sure my dog was let out - super conscientious and reliable!) I would definitely book again!”


7. Kathryn C.
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was 10 years old! My family, friends, and neighbors have relied on me to feed, walk, bathe, and love their 4 legged family members for years. I can ensure you, your pet is in good hands! I work from home full time with a very flexible schedule. I usually have no meetings before 11am, and am off of work every day by 5pm, sometimes earlier. I am flexible for your pets needs and can accommodate a variety of schedules! My husband and I have a fenced in backyard with 2 dogs - a goldendoodle and an aussiedoodle - that will keep your fur baby company! Walks are enjoyed in our household daily! We feed our dogs 2 times a day, morning and evening, with lots of snuggles and the occasional treats in between.


8. Claire W.

“I am just so thrilled that I found Claire! She was amazing and this is the first time I have been able to travel without all this stress about my cats. I have 2 cats that need medication and Claire was able to handle them like a champ. She came twice a day and was always on time and did everything that I asked. I hope she will be available the next time we are out of town- she was wonderful!!”
