1. Nicole Z.

“Nicole was fantastic looking after my cat. He’s 16 and can be grumpy but she got him to socialize a bit and even eat treats from her hand. She’s really good with him and great at communication with me while I was away. Definitely will use Nicole’s services again.”


2. Katie C.
“Katie has taken care of our golden retriever (and our cat) many times over the past 2 years. We have no worries when we go on vacation knowing Katie is taking such good care of them. She is trustworthy, reliable and loves our pets - and they love her! They get so excited when Katie comes to our house. If you are planning a vacation, day trip or just need an extra daily walk or two for your dog - know that your dog will be in great hands. I highly recommend Katie!!!”

She’s exceptionally responsive to check in requests and always goes above and beyond. I came home last night to my mail brought in and she even brought our recycle bin up from the curb. I highly recommend her! So does Oliver ;)”

This is my first time using the Rover app, and meeting Elaine made me so happy I did!”
