4. Katie P.
“Katie was great! She sent updates during each visit, of which there were many because I have a finicky little cat who needs lots of litterbox upkeep. Normally my cat is anxious and goes on a minor hunger strike when I’m gone, but not this time. She ate well, slept a lot, and seemed quite content upon my return! Katie was professional, attentive, and friendly. Thanks again!”
5. Mariana T.
“Mariana took care of our dogs so well. It was our first time ever using rover and having a non family member care for our dogs. She would walk them twice a day and feed them. Both of our dogs are completely different and she was able to handle their different personalities and food needs in the best way. We look forward to working with her again.”
