5. Victoria C.
“I used rover for the 1st time and I’m SO HAPPY that I found Victoria! We easily set up a meet & greet with my newly rescued dog Cloud & they immediately got along great! I was leaving the country for 10/11 days & was looking for someone that worked from home & that could provide 24hr care at my apartment to Cloud since he has separation anxiety. Victoria sent me photos everyday on her & cloud’s adventures and kept me in the loop with my apartment when the toilet got a leak. Victoria went above & beyond to wait for the maintenance crew to check out the toilet leak since I was out of the country. I left a binder of instructions for Cloud and Victoria followed the instructions since Cloud is a rescue and is still working on his leash reactivity. Victoria went on lots of walks with Cloud so I know Cloud was very happy while I was gone! Victoria took REALLY GOOD CARE of my sweet boy Cloud AND my home and would HIGHLY recommend to anyone! I will definitely reach out to Victoria again for my next trip!”
6. Dani K.
“We had a great experience with Dani and Nala (our dog-daughter) loved her! We had plans for Dani to spend the long weekend at our house with the dog - she came over the Wednesday before to get the know the dog and learn our routine. She was super thorough and had Nala out at parks and walking around all day. She sent tons of great pictures, which helped us to relax on vacay knowing our friend was taken care of. We definitely plan to use Dani again!”
7. Lola E.
“Absolutely wonderful!! She spoiled the dogs with lots of walks. Very thorough communication. I felt completely trusting leaving my pups in her hands and would definitely use again!”

“David has decades of experience with a variety of animals. He takes great care with them. He was frequently responsible for the care of my own pets over the years and I was always comfortable leaving them with him. I highly recommend David for caring for your pets”

11. Joanne L.
“Zeke had a great time with Joanne! I felt comfortable being away from home knowing he was in good hands”
12. Amanda W.
“Amanda is terrific! So glad we found her since our previous sitter moved a bit too far away. We just got a new kitten and she made she that our older cat stayed his distance, yet did her part as an experienced sitter to get them a bit more acclimated. Looking forward to having her come back in August, maybe sooner! Highly recommend.”

“Wonderful stay with my doggies!. Sarah was very easy to work with and very personable. Communication was easy, and Sarah was very mindful of my doggies' habits, behaviors, preferences, etc, as well as things about my apartment (dishwasher, locks, etc). She sent photos of my doggies and sent messages to update me throughout the house sitting. She also took my dog for a vet visit, with no issues at all. Thank you, sarah.”
16. Hannah O.
“Hannah is a wonderful pet owner, pet caretaker, and pet lover. She’s responsible, has a flexible schedule, and truly loves each pet she takes care of. Her attention to detail is exemplary and I felt that my dog was in great hands with her!”
17. Stefano B.
About: Please help me convince my wife that we need a furry friend! I never had a pet growing up, so I always offered to take care of my friends pets. I work from home Monday’s and Friday’s, Tuesday through Thursday I go into an office and I don’t work on the weekends. So before 8:30am or 5pm during the week or anytime on the weekends I am available! I am a new home owner with a fenced in backyard. I treat my clients homes with respect and clean up after my self. With clients’ pets, I am attentive to instructions and specific needs that each pet may have.
