“Nicole was awesome, she was very professional and had constant updates with her visit. I would recommend she watch anyone's furry companions.”


2. James K.

“I use rover a good amount throughout the year for my two dogs. Even though they are very low maintenance and well behaved, I take very serious who I hire. James has quickly became a reliable and trusting person to help care for my dog when I am away. He was able to follow my care sheet perfectly and provided varied updates throughout the day. He will be my “go to” sitter for future trips. Happy to have met him!”

“I highly recommend Sara! She took her time to get to know our little dog and we really appreciate it. Our dog takes a long time to warm up to people but by the second night they seemed to be best friends. We were very worried using rover for the first time but will for sure be booking Sara again. She sent daily updates and everything was perfectly clean when we got back. If you are looking for someone to treat your dog like theirs you need to book Sara!”
