Hilary was fantastic! We had a virtual meet and greet so she could meet Mochi and she asked a lot of great questions. During the visits, she provided a great summary and sent some pictures to let me know how my baby was doing. Highly recommend!

Very good sitter. Was extremely prompt in coming over to give my pet rat medication. Was very good with my little guy, followed all my instructions and sent good pictures and notes. I would definitely use his services again.

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!

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.

Mara has always taken great care of my cat and keeps me updated with notes and pictures while I'm away! Her kind, communicative, and knowledgeable approach to pet care sets a high bar for all other petsitters. I always trust that my cat and my home are well taken care of when Mara watches over them!

I can’t say enough about how great Abbey was! I had a last minute booking and a very nervous cat. She sent lots of pictures and really communicated well. Cleo really bonded with her and it gave me great peace of mind while I was away.

It has been so great having Allison to drop in on our dogs during the day! She is consistent and communicative. It definitely is a weight off our shoulders knowing the dogs get some play time while we are at work.

Hannah was great! She was very attentive and did things like fill an extra water bowl for my cat. Also, without me telling her, she picked up on the fact that my cat loves playing with random things like strings and a tin foil ball, and she took time to play with these objects with him during her visits. She was also very good about communicating via Rover app messaging and did extra things to take care of my boy when I asked her via the app.

When my wife and I travel and can't take Barney with us, there is only one person we turn to take care of him, Bryan! Not only does Barney appear happy when we return, we know Bryan to be patient, kind, and an all around wonderful human being. Ease your mind and select Bryan for your next dog caretaker.

I am so happy we found Sarah! She’s very communicative, and provides excellent care…letting owners know exactly what she’s doing…and she takes great pictures! She went above and beyond what was asked, and I truly felt my pup was in the best care possible. Would recommend to anyone, and we will certainly be booking her again!
