“She is wonderful!! My dogs loved her and I felt so happy that someone was with my dogs while I had to be out for outing with family!! Thank you so much”

“Leann did such an amazing job with our pup! We are so happy we found her! We will definitely be having Leann watch our pup in the future. Thank you so much Leann!”

“Heather is amazing !!! our dog Carlos was a happy boy when we got home we got updates throughout the whole process. We will definitely be using Heather again.”

“Emma is incredible! Rudy, my very shy cat, LOVES her. I occasionally have to travel for work, and Rudy has to get medication daily and has a very specific food routine, in addition to having close attention paid to his intake & litter box habits, and Emma follows his routines to a T, and sends detailed updates. On this particular visit, he happened to have some tummy issues while I was gone, and Emma let me know right away and did a great job answering a couple questions & sending pictures to help me make the right choice for Rudy and so I had pictures his vet will also appreciate!”

“I am really sad that I can only give Chase five stars. She was wonderful. Polite, prompt and very reliable. She treated my dog, Cooper, like he was her own. I loved receiving updates while I was gone knowing he was getting the attention, care and love he deserves. Chase was quick to ask questions and responds to text and email in a very timely fashion. If you hadn't booked with Chase yet - you need to!”

“Zack was amazing with my cat! This was my first time using Rover, and he went above and beyond to make me feel comfortable with the process. He was extremely communicative while I was away and kept me informed about everything going on with Phileas. The daily photos were such a bonus and really put my mind at ease.”

“I can't reccomend Taylor enough! She took such good care of my cats and lizard while we were on vacation for a week. We have a very shy and standoffish cat and it was clear to me that Taylor made them all feel so safe and comfortable based on how willing the cats were to let her snap pics of them every day - shes a great photographer too! Great communication, punctual, flexible (thank you again for feeding and keeping an eye on our bearded dragon!), and just all around a wonderful sitter who we will absolutely be booking with again. I would trust her in my home and with my pets any day. Thank you Taylor!”

“Danielle was so amazing with our Pittbull babies. They are high energy and she matched them perfectly. She was punctual, gave us detailed updates and lots of pictures. Will definitely be using her again.”

“Thea does an AMAZING job and my three persnickety cats adore her. Leaving them for a trip is always hard but it’s so much easier knowing they are well cared for by Thea. Her updates bring me so much comfort when I’m away. She’s dependable, reliable and i will continue to book her as long as she is available!”

“Merri was so fantastic to coordinate and communicate with, and I'm sure Yuka loved her visits because he got to go outside! Merri is trustworthy and I appreciate the effort into doing a meet and greet to familiarize herself with Yuka.”

“We booked Sean for drop-in visits and walks while we were away, and he did a great job with our dog. He was reliable, communicative, and made sure our dog was well taken care of each day. Thanks Sean!!”

About: I have been a vet assistant, I’ve worked with horses, cats, dogs, birds, lizards, and snakes. I always go the extra mile and believe that pets deserve the very best. I was a vet assistant and specialized in “difficult “ pets. I will go at your pets speed, whatever helps them be more comfortable. If your pet needs more time to adjust, I will give them that. I take care of your babies as if they were mine, I will give them love and attention with boundaries. I specialize in difficult cases. If your pet needs a little extra time and attention that’s no problem.
“She is awesome! Very fast communication, took great care of my dog and gave him love, he looked so happy in all the pics! I will definitely be having you take care of him next time if I ever need!”

About: I have had and taken care of dogs my whole life and have had a cat of my own for 6 years! I love animals and have helped pet sit for my family, friends, and neighbors since I was a kid. I also have experience volunteering at animal shelters for both cats and dogs! I am a medical student with some extra time off this year and would love to spend it taking care of and playing with your pet! I am currently in medical school, but I have a very flexible schedule this year with months of time off. I am available both weekdays and weekends! I am available for drop in pet care, dog walking, and both cat and dog playtime/ enrichment! I live in an apartment, so I am not currently able to bring your pets to my home, but I will gladly come to yours.
“Deanna was amazing! Very thorough, great communication with photos/videos/updates, and our usually shy cats warmed up to her right away. We felt totally at ease knowing that they were in good hands and will absolutely book her again.”

North Central pet parents share their Rover experiences
Rachel took amazing care of my dog over the past few days. She was attentive, responsible, and truly caring. I really appreciated that she took him out for walks. I know he can pull pretty hard, and she handled it so well. I felt completely at ease knowing he was in good hands. I would definitely trust her again and highly recommend her!

Regan did an amazing job watching my dogs, Mango and Mars, while I was on vacation. She kept me updated the entire time with photos, messages, and little notes about their day. Both dogs clearly felt comfortable and loved, and I came home to two happy pups and a clean space. It’s such a relief knowing they were in great hands. I’d absolutely trust Regan with them again.

AJ was super awesome! Timely drop ins, lots of pictures, and text updates!! There's lots of energy in the house but everything was smooth and under control :) they made sure the house was good too and nothing was left out so my animals were safe until the next visit. AJ eased a lot of my worries about traveling away, highly recommend
