“Jennifer was absolutely amazing. She watched my Abyssinian cat for five days and if you know anything about Abyssinians, they become very attached to their owners and have extreme anxiety when they’re separated. She came to our house every day and stayed for a half an hour, not just feeding and caring for Bella, but playing with her and giving her the social interaction she needed. I definitely recommend Jennifer and will be using her again. Thank you so much Jennifer for caring for our baby, Bella!”
“Bianca went above and beyond had two trips back to back and one last minute and she said yes without hesitation. Communicative, attentive with my fur baby. Very recommended. I will definitely use her services again.”
“Bekah did wonderful with my pup! Was very attentive to him and his needs. She also left a detailed note and took lots of pictures. Would definitely book her again! :)”
“As always, Emma was fantastic with my girls. She went above and beyond when Snap and Pompom broke something (100% my fault) and made sure it was well cleaned so they wouldn't get glass in their paws.”
“Tina was great with our pit who is a little hyper and sometimes reactive. She has a calm presence and took notes of everything we mentioned during our meet and greet. Every dog has different wants and needs and she made sure to cater to our pup. I highly recommend her and will be using her again during our next trip out of town.”
“Danni is consistently the best! She is the only person I use for my girls - Chanel is afraid of everyone except myself, my fiance, and Danni. She is fantastic at everything she does, but she is also fantastic at assessing difficult situations and diffusing altercations before they get too bad. She has also administered medicine to my cats before - she is the best. Highly recommend!”
“Mia did a fantastic job caring for our two pups while we were on vacation. She was on top of all their needs and provided great updates to ease our minds! Will definitely be re booking, thank you Mia!”
“Marcus was great! He does great with teddy who can be a handful, is always communicative and sends lots of pictures and videos. He was even able to accommodate my last minute trip for the holiday with no problem! Have booked him before and will definitely be booking him again!”
“Jenna and Caroline are truly amazing with your fur babies!!! As someone who has two high energy pit mixes, it can be a bit nerve racking trying to find someone who not only has experience with the breed, but truly understands them. During our meet and greet it was immediately obvious that these two knew what they were doing and how to handle Stark and Sansa. Both of my pups were well taken care of and I am beyond thankful for the level of care they received. Will definitely be booking again!”
“Hillary was fantastic! We will continue to go back to her when we need a sitter for our 2 cats. She is extremely reliable and caring towards us and our girls. Thank you Hillary!!”
“Thank you so much Abi! Great service and communication all around. Very patient with my fur baby and everything was perfect. You are amazing and I appreciate you caring for Piggy! Will definitely book again as I already have sent a request! ❤️”
“Mary was amazing! Sent thorough summaries each day on her interactions with Tuna and Mayla with great pictures. Mary was very communicative and punctual. I would definitely recommend Mary!”
“This was my first time leaving my cat alone so I was a bit nervous. Once I met Amanda I knew he was in good hands. She did a great job keeping him happy in my absence. I’ll definitely book with her next time I go away.”
“Carley came right on time and followed the directions we had for Peenut. She hung out and played with him for the full time slot and he was safely back in his pen when we arrived home. I REALLY appreciate Carley being available on a holiday!!! Thanks so much for helping us out!!”
“Ryan was so great! I have three dogs. Two pits and a rotty. My rotty is 13 and limps. He is who I worried about the most but Ryan was so patient with him, helped him up and gave him all the pets.”

River Grove pet parents share their Rover experiences
I have only recently found Jennifer. Both times I have booked her, it was last minute and she accepted my request thoroughly with great communication and attention to detail. The past request was recurrent and she was reliable without any reminders from me. She even was innovative in taking care of the dogs when she couldn't access the leashes due to issues on our end. I'm grateful to have found her.
Danni was INCREDIBLE! She took care of clover and went above and beyond with it! She took so many photos, and was very detailed on how clover was doing. This was our first time leaving clover with a pet sitter for a long time frame and I have to safe she was in the best hands with Danni! Danni followed all directions we gave her and if they were any questions she made sure to ask! I felt so at peace knowing danni was with my animals, will certainly book with her again!!! Thank you so much Danni !
Carley came right on time and followed the directions we had for Peenut. She hung out and played with him for the full time slot and he was safely back in his pen when we arrived home. I REALLY appreciate Carley being available on a holiday!!! Thanks so much for helping us out!!
Sophia did a great job with our wild boy Banjo! It was a hot day so outside fun is limited. Sophia played one of Banjo's favorite games with him and he was obviously very happy for the company. We would love to have her back in the future. Thanks Sophia! (he howled after you left), that's a compliment
Jasmine watched our cat while we were away for 10 days. She was very attentive and followed all of our instructions. She gave us plenty of updates via the rover card and sent lots of pictures. We felt very comfortable with having her take care of our cat while we were away.
