Jen is very patient and took her time getting to know my cats. She didn't rush them and they came around and got to know her. She is timely and took care of everything as requested.

Shaelyn is awesome! So thankful for how she cared for my kitties while I was away- I was slow to message and she read my mind with some of the things I forgot to mention ahead of time (e.g. adding extra litter to the litter box). Reliable and 100% will book again!!

Absolutely a pleasure to have Amanda work with my two beautiful puppies. She was on time and loving as could be with Millie and Annie. I'll definitely have Amanda back soon. Two thumbs up and 10 stars, 5 isn't enough.

Valerie was absolutely wonderful!!! She FAR exceeded my expectations! She responded to my request within an hour and had excellent communication with me the entire time. My son is out of town and she went to his apartment to check on his cat, Luna. Luna is extremely shy and rarely comes out for anyone — she barely comes out for me — but Valerie was so patient and gentle with her. She stayed with Luna, sent me photos and updates, and even cleaned out a very unpleasant litter box that I truly didn’t expect anyone to deal with. That alone meant so much. You can immediately tell she has a genuine love for animals and such a kind, caring soul❤️. Valerie is recently retired and clearly does this because she truly loves animals, and it shows in the level of care she gives. I cannot say enough good things about her!! I will absolutely be using her again and again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, communicative, and incredibly kind with their pets. 🐾❤️❤️❤️

Emma was very responsive and sent plenty of photos. She listened to whatever my pets needs were and made sure they were taken care of properly. When i go out of town again I will be sure to look to Emma to watch my fur babies and know i won't have any worries when I'm away.

Brad kept us informed about Jasmin with pictures and messages. She enjoyed her walks with him. We are grateful that Jasmin was able to stay at home where she is most comfortable. We will definitely ask Brad to take care of our girl should we need a sitter in the future.

About: I have taken care of dogs my entire adult life. I currently have 3 dogs between the ages of 8 months - almost 12 years old. I have experience with senior dogs with disabilities and puppies that require a lot of love, care, and attention. I love spending time with dogs and being outdoors with them as much as possible. I am hoping to get an opportunity to walk or run with your dog? I am always looking for a new walking or running buddy depending on your dogs energy levels. I am available for walks every day but my schedule does change. I am a full-time nursing student but can always make the time to spend with your pup. I provide a fenced in backyard and 3 friendly dogs that will become your pups new best friend. I enjoy walks or runs on/off leash and am even willing to do hikes for those dogs that require more of an adventure.

About: Volunteered at a pet shelter and cared for many different dogs with various needs and personalities. I looked after puppies, senior dogs, and even dogs with behavior issues, working alongside dog trainers who taught me how to read canine body language. Flexible student sitter available for walking and overnight boarding. Whether it’s a weekday trek or a weekend stay, my schedule allows me to prioritize your pup’s needs and exercise. I have a BIG fenced yard and two friendly dogs that can keep you dog company. I also have inside and outside cameras to always be able to check on the dogs.

Sara has been great with my corgi, Cersei! She is always on time and has been incredibly flexible with my schedule. She is also very considerate with Cersei and accommodating to her needs for the past few months and Cersei loves her. She will continue to be my go-to whenever I need someone to help with Cersei.

Taylor is absolutely amazing and we will be using her again!! We couldn’t have asked for a better first Rover experience! She took excellent care of Luna and Red while we were away. She made sure they were fed, had fresh water, got plenty of potty breaks outside, and most importantly, gave them lots of love and snuggles. She sent us photos and updates, which really helped us relax knowing our dogs were happy and well cared for. She exceeded every expectation. I accidentally mixed up and changed the schedule several times, and she was incredibly patient, flexible, and understanding throughout the entire process. Luna and Red were clearly comfortable with her, and it was obvious she genuinely cared about them. We will absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and trustworthy sitter! Highly recommend!

Hi Brooke, you did a wonderful job! We got back from our long trip a couple days ago and we appreciate all of your hard work! The kitties were very happy! Also, thank you for putting the trash containers behind the house and for filling the cat food in the outside cat house. We had forgot to tell you that we put the plants elsewhere and not to worry about watering them, sorry about forgetting to tell you! And we'll give you the wifi password during our next trip, if you wish to keep doing the job during our future trips. Great job, we are very grateful. I hope you had a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

She makes every minute count and is always so informative with her photos and rover card. We’re so happy and grateful the pups love her! It’s so nice having someone we can count on.

About: Hi my name is Anna and you can trust that your pet will be treated with the most genuine care as if they were one of my own. I’ve own dogs my whole life and I’ve cared and trained each one of them. I have been able to walk and care for 4 pups at once from small dogs up to 120 pounds so there’s nothing I can’t handle. I will pamper your baby, make sure they are fed, take their potty breaks, take medication if needed, play time and lots of belly rubs and kisses. You will be able to go on about your day worry free that your fur baby is in the greatest hands being spoiled and having the time of their life. I currently have a flexible schedule, which allows me to give pets plenty of attention, playtime, walks, and care throughout the day. I’m available for drop ins, walks, and pet sitting during weekdays and weekends. I understand the importance of keeping pets on their normal routine and making sure they feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine are always my top priorities. I understand that pets feel most comfortable in their own environment, so I do my best to keep their routine as normal and stress-free as possible while you’re away. I’m attentive to feeding schedules, walks, potty breaks, playtime, medications if needed, and any special instructions. I’ll treat your home and pets with care and respect, and I’m always happy to provide photo and video updates for peace of mind.

Dorothy was fantastic! The meet and greet went great and she kept in communication the whole time we were gone. She was prompt about making sure the house was secure. Our cat normally roams outside, but she noticed he was hanging out under cars in the front, which is not normal, and she made sure to get him out from under and back inside. She was very nice and very responsible. We will def book her again.

Liset was excellent! We have never used this app before and had to find a last minute sitter to feed and let out our dogs for a whole week. Liset made it very easy and was great at communicating everything and always responded to our messages immediately. My dogs absolutely loved her and she would send pictures everyday of her walking/playing fetch with the dogs. Highly recommended if you need someone you can trust to watch your dogs.
