“Katelynn was wonderful with our multi-cat household. The kitties really liked her: even our skittish indoor-outdoor cat would come in for the night when she arrived. She gave them excellent care, including medicating our senior cat. And she gave each one some attention on each visit. We are so happy! We'll call on Katelynn again!”
“From meet and greet to the last day, Kady exceeded any and ALL expectations we had when it came to the care of our two cats!! She made sure to let us know when she was headed over, provided us with LOTS of great (and very cute) pictures and made sure our spicy girl got her medication. Everything was perfect and she was very diligent to check in with us as well as being very detail oriented. I would highly recommend Kady again and again!! A true gem when it comes to providing care, comfort, peace of mind and love for animals!! We will definitely keep Kady in mind for future bookings!! I cannot say enough great things about her, she will take fabulous care of your pets!! 💜💜💜”
“Amanda stepped up to take care of my kitty last minute for a weekend, and she was great! My cat was weary of a new person, but Amanda kept her comfortable and fed while I was gone, and made sure I was in the loop the whole time.”
“Micha was wonderful. He came by to meet all of my pets before the scheduled visit so they would be more comfortable. He constantly provided updates and pictures. Both of my dogs are seniors and one is blind and arthritic. He was very patient with them and gave them lots of love. He cleaned the dirty pee pads out of the kennel and replaced them with fresh ones. Also gave the cats some love and treats while he was there. Highly recommend Micha and will be seeking his help in the future.”
“Kayla did an exceptional job taking care of our dogs and keeping us up-to-date on their behavior and welfare. We had not used a pet-sitting service before and were very happy with the care and enthusiasm Kayla showed on her visits to our home. She followed our instructions to the letter and went above and beyond our expectations in making friends with our dogs. We will definitely use rover.com again, because we know they were much happier at home than confined to a kennel at the veterinary clinic.”

Tatiana C.
“Tatiana is a very loving pet owner. She has one dog of her own and is always playing with him, taking him out, and taking silly photos of him. I have a deaf dog and a blind dog and whenever she comes over to see them they love her like no other. She helps my blind one around the house even though I reassure her that he’s okay she makes sure he gets where he needs. I would highly recommend her to take care of your pets. They will be in good hands.”
