Rachel has been awesome! She is reliable and it has been very comforting knowing our puppy is in experienced capable hands. She also is a good communicator about pertinent updates during the drop ins. Definitely recommend!

Kyle took great care of our cat while we were out of town! Played with her, brushed her, got her to sit on his lap which we’re sure she loved. He also kindly brought in our mail and watered our plants. Thanks Kyle!!

Alyssa has watched out kittens a couple times and is always phenomenal. Her communication is top notch and she takes such good care of the kittens while we’re away. They’re always happy to see her. She’s always our top choice when we are away.

I can't speak highly enough of Tobi! She was communicative, flexible, kind and patient. She went above and beyond my expectations! My cat is not an easy guy to care for, but Tobi took his grumpiness in stride. She even cleaned up his stress-messes! She checked on my big guy daily, followed all instructions, and her check-in cards with pictures really put me at ease. This was my first time using the Rover app and Tobi set the bar very high. I would recommend her to anyone looking for check-in care of their furry friend!

Mary took great care of our mini-golden doodle while we were aways for a long weekend. She gave arrived on time, gave thorough updates and sent plenty of photos. She made sure Baxter was walked, fed, and even brought enrichment activities for him. A really good Rover experience.

Juli went above and beyond every visit with our dog. It was obvious just how much she cares with every photo and message she sent during her drop in. I will definitely be asking her to take care of Hope again in the future.

Loved having Hope care for our pup. She did 4 drop-in visits with feedings, walks. Gave us welcome feedback on the pup, who seemed well cared-for. Hope was easy to work with, friendly & personable, reliable. She even noticed an unplanned delivery & brought it in for us. Would recommend her with no hesitation!

Theo took such great care of my oldgirl kitty that when I got home, she was curled up in deep sleep. I rarely am away overnight. Miss Tippi is an anxious tiny. To see her well fed and relaxed put me at ease. I would highly recommend him!

Holly was absolutely amazing. She took care of our three cats with such conscientiousness and love which was very evident given their behavior in the pictures she sent us. Two of our boys have health issues and need special food/medication and she handled that very adeptly. We will definitely be reaching out to her anytime we go somewhere. Thanks Holly!

Highly recommend Carrie if you need a cat sitter! Carrie did check-ins for my senior cat while we were away for 7 days during Thanksgiving week. I was a bit nervous, as I've never had to leave my cat alone for that long before. The meet-and-greet with Carrie alleviated all my worries! She was wonderful with our cat, and gave him so much love, attention, and play time while we were away. Her update reports were always detailed and lovely to read, and she sent tons of great photos with each report. Everything was clean when we returned home (cat box empty/clean, litter swept off the floor). Carrie was always on time for meet-ups, check-ins, key exchanges etc, and is the perfect person to have check-in on your pet! :) I'll definitely be reaching out to her again next time we need someone to check on our cat!

Holly took care my 2 cats for 5 days and she was great! It was obvious right away that she has a love for animals and she was great with my girls, going above and beyond to make sure their needs were met. She also sends pictures and an overview of her visits each time, and is responsive to my questions . I will definitely book Holy in the future!

Kyle is such a great sitter! He always sends the best action shots of our cat playing and cuddling. We had a lot of packages arriving this last trip; he was so kind as to stop by to put a large one inside the day before our booking with him officially began, just because we had already left to head out of town. Thank you so much Kyle!!
