1. Ross D.
“Ross was wonderful. My calico warmed up to him immediately when he walked in the door. He was patient with my newly adapted cats that are still hesitant around people and he got them to come out of hiding when he stopped over. So happy I found Ross for my kitties.”
2. Izzy V.
“My puppy loved Izzy! She was so great with him and he loved playing with her. Izzy provided great updates for each visit. Would love to book her again!”
3. Kerrigan A.
“Kerrigan was our first ever caregiver through Rover this past week. She did a wonderful job! I left a few things to her judgement calls based on the weather and how our 2 dogs were doing, one being age 16 years, the other is only 1.5 years. Kerrigan is very trustworthy, and made great decisions for us. She exceeded our expectations on flexibility and excellent communication.”
4. Julie L.
“Julie helped me last minute with my cat. Great communication and nala was well taken care of. New sitter for me but I will book her again when needed.”
5. Katherine J.
“Katie has been a natural choice for friends and neighbors seeking help caring for pets since grade school. There are almost as many pet friends as people in her photos - she's good with both. She even included canine psychology as part of a study abroad adventure. Your pet will love her and she'll treat you all like family.”
6. Liz N.
“Great experience with Liz. I received daily updates and photos both of which helped me to not be too stressed out about how my cat Isabella was doing while i was gone. Will definitely book Liz again in the future. Thanks.”
7. Jasmine B.
“Jasmine was so good with my puppy! She sent detailed updates and pictures while I was working. I knew he was in good hands which made me feel much better about leaving him home for the first time.”
8. Annmarie C.
“Annmarie loved my dogs from the minute she walked in the door! She picked up on each of the dogs' unique characteristics and really took the time to listen to me. When she came for the drop in visit, she sent me messages as well as pictures on how the dogs did. Her schedule is flexible which is great for me since my schedule is unpredictable. I highly recommend her as a caregiver!”
9. Jenny H.
About: I have loved and owned pets since childhood and have 8 years of experience fostering many different animals with varying temperaments, ages, and health issues. I'm comfortable giving medication and accommodating their individual needs. Just let me know! I work from home full-time so I am home all day and able to give pets as much attention as they need. I am free in the evening/night as well after work hours, which is when I can do longer walks or play sessions if needed. I live in a quiet neighborhood with a large backyard facing the woods, and no street-facing windows that would get dogs overexcited/stressed. I typically keep a very calm and quiet household. I have one dog who is lower energy and doesn't pay much attention to other animals in the house and one cat that will usually stay away from more rambunctious dogs. When in the backyard I typically have dogs on a long lead with me since I don't have a fence.

11. Lindsey B.
“Lindsey did a great job with our pup, Bruce! She was easy to communicate with as we set up a meet-and-greet and first visit. She made sure she got to know Bruce and was prepared for anything he may need on his visits. She was punctual and sent great photos of their walk. Would definitely recommend her!”
