Kimberly was fantastic! House looked great and Jolie was happy and healthy and chilling when we got home. She went above and beyond to make sure everything was well taken care of and provided peace of mind our entire time away. Sent lots of pics and updates and I just can’t say enough good things about her. 10/10 amazing.

This was our first time using Rover and I was really nervous. Jamie is very kind hearted and our two fur babies enjoyed their time with her. One of our pups usually does not immediately take to people and she went right over to Jamie and visited with her a couple of times during our meet and greet prior to hiring Jamie. Jamie was fine with the instructions we left for feeding, walking, and how to make our fur family feel less stressed by keeping their routine. We already have Jamie scheduled for two more trips we have coming up. Thanks for your help Jamie. ☺️

Having Sam as an in-home sitter for our 15-year-old special needs Cocker Spaniel and two active playful Cocker Spaniels was a blessing. Dolly, Carl and Millie are all rescue dogs with issues. Dolly is deaf, has blinding cataracts and chronic pain. Carl has itchy skin and Millie just wants to play all the time! To find a sitter with ability to give proper care, which included giving Dolly and Carl medications, was a must. With Sam's ability to understand their needs and carefully follow detailed instructions was tremendous! Sam welcomed the challenge with no hesitation. We are planning to have her to take care of our threesome again soon. Thanks Sam!

Kathy did a fantastic job with my dog Kylie. Kylie is almost 13 and takes lots of pills for heart issues, etc. so she needs to pee all the time. Kathy was on top of it. Many times outside to let Kylie do her thing. She stayed overnight at my house so Kylie was not alone. Kylie and the house were perfect when we returned. I would totally use Kathy again, and recommend her for others. Thank you Kathy.

Jessica was terrific. Our dog is scared of people and takes time to warm up to new people. Jessica handled it perfectly. We would definitely request her again.

Ruth was amazing with our dog and cat. She was prompt and very communicative throughout the visit. Our dog required eye drops and medicine and she was able to administer them with no issues. She also cleaned up after the pets and ensured our sheets were clean and ready for us when we came back home on a late flight. Lastly, she even coaxed our very shy cat out from hiding! We appreciate her professionalism and taking such great care of our pets!

I lucked out finding Kim at the last minute. She was able to take care of the dog with a two day notice which was amazing. She kept me updated throughout the stay and even left me a note at the end that wrapped everything up so that I didn’t have any questions about how it went. I would most certainly recommend her but also book her again myself. I’ll already Recommended her to neighbors and friends.

Jaryn has taken care of my one to three cats for the past 10 years. She has always been available whether for a single day or up to over a week. Jaryn has had no issues giving different foods to the various cats and has been giving daily oral medication to one of them for more than five years. She often sends me photos of my babies when I’m out of town and I trust her with my home. I definitely recommend Jaryn for your pet care!

Usually I travel with my German Shepard and Doxie but this past Christmas break I knew I wanted to travel without them but I was skeptical about leaving them with anyone else. I reached out to many people on Rover but after meeting Danielle I felt comfortable making the decision to having her stay at our home to house sit and watch both dogs. Needless to say, she did not disappoint. I received many updates and pics that let me actually enjoy my vacation instead of worrying or feeling guilty. I would highly recommend Danielle!

I have previously entrusted Klency’s services to care for both of my bulldogs, who require specialized attention due to their breed. She was consistently punctual in administering their medications and remained highly responsive, providing frequent updates throughout the day, including photos and messages. Her attentiveness and professionalism gave me peace of mind, making my work trips significantly less stressful, knowing my pets were in capable hands. Additionally, my dogs were always excited to see her, which reassured me that they had a positive and comfortable experience under her care. I’m happy to recommend Klency to Rover ensuring she is a trustworthy person and true animal lover.

Marissa has the dog's spirit! Curious, gentle, fun and kind. In less than 1 hour my grumpy old dog was ready to be her best friend. And for me, Marissa was punctual, mindful and respectful. Definitely endorse.
