1. Hope J.
“It was our first time using Rover and we were a little skeptical of the app, however, Hope was AMAZING. We hardly ever go on vacation, so leaving our cats and bird alone stressed us out. Hope was a perfect fit for us and we were able to have a stress free trip! At the meet and greet she was professional, sweet, and attentive. She asked a lot of questions to get to know us and to figure out our pets' needs. She updated us everyday with pictures and funny stories about our pets. She's hilarious and we can tell she enjoyed her time with our babies. The moment we came home from our trip we could tell our pets were well taken care of and loved. She's a true animal lover! We would without any hesitation rebook with Hope and highly recommend her!! Thank you Hope!!”

7. Eddie B.
“Eddie is wonderful with our pets, we went out of the country for 2 weeks in December and Eddie stayed at our house the whole time and took care of our fur babies. It was great for our dogs to not have to be anxiety ridden and be boarded or have someone just drop in.”

9. Allison W.
“Allison watched my dog Churro quite frequently throughout the summer. She was always super responsive and communicative when it came to her availability and always got back to me as soon as possible. I could always tell she was active with my dog as well because he would be very tired when I would return home. I would highly recommend Allison as an exceptional pet sitter.”
10. Lilli & Zachary G.
“Lilli and Zachary were wonderfully responsible care takers for our dog and home. Lilli is a prompt, kind, and excellent communicator. Our meet and greet went well, and I could immediately sense we could trust this nice young couple. They provided wonderful care for our 10 year old dog who had never been left alone before (we always had other dogs and in-home overnight care). Initially our dog was a bit shy, according to Lilli, but she ultimately warmed to them and they became fast friends. Lilli’s reports were detailed complete with pictures. I would highly recommend Lilli and Zachary!”
11. Kelsey T.
“Kelsey too such great care of our pup! She checked in with me during her drop in visits, sent pictures and provided a summary of her activities with Shiner at the end of the day. She is extremely pleasant, responsive and responsible. I 100% recommend her to take care of your pets!”
12. Morgan H.
“Morgan would be a great dog walker for your company. She dog sits for my German Shepherd coonhound all the time she is a certified vet tech she really knows how to take care of your animals. She has never met a dog that she did not love and did not love her.”
13. Jennifer F.
“Jen is a very caring and compassionate person to animals and people alike. She has a great love for animals and nature and is creative and easy going. A great listener and person to have in your corner when in need. She tends to gravitate towards an animal when she is around them and is naturally in tune to their emotional and physical needs. She is my go to person if we are out of town and need care for our cats.”
