Madison did an amazing job taking care of our cats while we were out of town. She is kind, respectful, responsive and responsible! She sent pictures and updates and even brought in our packages. My cats were well taken care of and the litter box was obviously thoroughly cleaned each time.

Melanie went out of her way to come meet Olivia and us before her time to dog sit. She was flexible, communicated very well and did an excellent job. This was our first time to use Rover and we are hooked! Thank you!

I can't say enough good things about Julie other than she made my kitty so so happy while we were gone and I could see that clearly in the pictures she sent us! My kitty was doing snuggles w Julie that I never see her do! And that means she's happy and that all I wanted for my special little kitty who is typically a lil shy, scared and defensive. We are so greatful for Julie.

I was skeptical about using Rover as a means to having someone come into our home and watch after our 2 dogs. I had set up a meet and greet through Emily to met her co-sitter Rob (as Emily was not directly available at the time). Rob came right on time was kind and courteous! He has a natural ability with dogs and made notes of how our dog’s routine goes. While we were gone, Rob and Emily both sent plenty of updates and pics of the dogs! The communication was excellent the whole way through and we look forward to Emily and/or Rob watching after these 2 again soon! It’s not everyday that you get to trust someone off of the internet but, I will definitely trust Emily and Rob!

About: I have had 3 dogs in my whole life and I’ve loved them all. I love taking care of animals. I have experience watching both my friends and families pets while they were on different vacations. I am currently in college and am currently in online classes so I have a pretty free schedule and am looking to occupy myself with making money and loving on some cute puppies! I feed my dog and groom him. I give him bathes and take him on walks daily. I take my puppy to have play dates with his friends too.

About: I love staying active and spending time outdoors. Your dog and I will have a great time on walks or runs together! And if you have a feline friend, I’m just as happy to relax and keep them company at home. I’m kind of a early morning person so I can take your pet out in the morning for their bathroom breaks walks on a nice afternoon I wake up at 5am to feed my cats breakfast Make sure they have their puzzles filled in the morning and night to keep them Occupied/busy. Clean their litter boxes every morning and before bed .

Laylani is amazing! Our pup LOVED her. She was dependable and caring and I felt so much better about being away. The communication and pictures were so reassuring and my kids excitedly awaited her reports. Highly recommend (just not on the days I need her 😂)!

This was my first time using Rover or someone I didn’t know to take care of my cat. I was very nervous. Megan was excellent. She was available at very short notice & did a great job with a very fussy cat. I will definitely look to her again should I need someone to look after my girl. She even went through some extreme weather to make sure my pet was fed. She was dedicated.

About: I have taken care of animals for as long as I can remember! I I’ve taken a vocational course for veterinary & I’ve have pets of my own! I’m also working towards becoming a groomer so this is something to get my foot in the door of giving myself even more experience than I already have! I am comfortable around all dogs and am willing to adapt and learn how to best care for your animal. When I come to take care of, play with, and walk your animal I will dedicate my time to loving them as if they were my own! I would love to be able to take them to the dog park where they can also interact with other animals while you're away! I have two cat of my own, both are short haired cat’s I have one boy and one girl! They’re very cuddly and playful whenever they want to be lol! I am currently working this as part time! But, I’m still available for drop ins or house sittings when needed! I am also flexible and can accept last minute bookings. When in your home, I would love to take your fur babies for walks, to dog parks, anything you already do with them to make them the most comfortable! I would also love to spend time with your cats, feed them, play with them, my cats especially love the laser toy/ any hanging string! I will respect your home, whatever rules or things you typically have or want followed will be respected! I’m more than happy to ask any questions if I don’t understand something so they’ll be no missed communication! I want to make you and your furry babies as happy and as satisfied as possible! I'm currently working part-time, so I'll have plenty of time to play with your pups! I'm weekday’s and on weekends. Weekdays will typically be from 12pm-2:30, the times may change to longer hours depending on my job! Weekends: Saturday anytime throughout the day. Sunday: 4-10pm. I will take care of your pets based on your rules! If there’s a specific time you always feed your animal I will do the time asked for! When it comes to safety, safety is most important for me and your animal! I will keep your number in reach at ALL TIMES! If I notice the dogs getting aggressive i’ll try to calm the dog. If you have a fenced backyard i’ll make sure I watch your animal as they use the restroom or even just play around and keep an eye out for any signs of danger!

Kelli was great! She checked in with Pumpkin and Peaches every day, and I felt a tremendous peace of mind with her taking care of my kitties. Thank you, Kelli! Her personality is so sweet, warm, and welcoming. She treated my kitties like they were her own.

Vanessa did an excellent job looking after my cat while I was on vacation. From the first visit, he warmed right up to her. It’s clear that Vanessa has a way with animals. He didn’t show any signs of distress upon my return and ate well the whole time I was gone. I look forward to working with Vanessa again in the future.
