1. Lindsey L.
“Lindsey was sooo good with our pups! She was very detailed and sent tons of pictures each visit. I loved that she actually spent time with them and gave them attention rather than just take them out feed them and leave. I will most definitely be reaching out to her again!”
2. Erin S.
“Erin was so helpful on very short notice and took great care of my cats. I really appreciate her help and will definitely book with her again!”
3. Evelyn F.
“Evelyn did great with my pups, will be booking again in the future.”
4. Vanessa W.
“Vanessa’s a great piece of mind. She treats my large Airedale like her own, always playing and taking good care of him. I can’t thank her enough.”
5. Allison D.
“Allison is great! Very prompt in her responses but most of all wonderful & attentive with my needy little pup :) Dolly would rate her 5 stars as well!”
6. Lauren F.
“We had the pleasure of working with Lauren twice over the last month. She is a reliable, communicative sitter. She was patient with my nervous girls at our meet and greet and won them over fairly quickly. She was very helpful and flexible when we needed to add our daughter's dogs to the mix for our second reservation with her. She is kind and thoughtful and was exactly what we needed!”
7. Sarah W.
“Sarah is so easy to work with and my two golden girls love her! I've used her for drop-in visits a few times now and she's been great. Would definitely recommend! :)”
8. Emily B.
“Emily is so good with my dogs. One dog wouldn’t come out of the kennel for a couple others but loves Emily :) She helps me out when I’m at work for a long time and it brings so much peace of mind.”
9. Álvaro C.
“Alvaro was wonderful and took pictures and kept us informed of how our dog was. He even went an extra time to ensure Copper was able to go to the bathroom.”
10. Michaela M.
“First time using rover, Michaela was great and I felt like my kitties enjoyed their time while she visited them! Michaela really listened to what I usually do for the cats and learned their personalities. Plus she was very patient with me and when the schedule needed to change after booking, she ensured I got the proper refund without me even asking. 10/10 recommend”
11. Jill M.
“Jill did a great job watching my dog Pepe while I was on vacation. I had her do drop-in visits. She communicates to you and sends you texts msgs & pictures to you everyday so you know how your dog is doing. I gave her a bit of a challenge because Pepe is blind. Plus he was on the tail end of his medication. Jill made sure he took all of medication. When I got back, Pepe was very happy and wagging his tail! He was even still looking for her! I recommend Jill. Thank you Jill! 😊🐶🐾 7/19/24”
12. Pamela B.
“One of the many aspects I love about Pamela is her affection for pets. I have relied on Pamela on many occasions to take care of my English bulldog, Juliette. Even though Juliette had eating issues due to a big underbite and had to be fed by hand, this was not a problem for Pamela. Juliette has since passed away, but I will be sure to contact Pamela when I need a pet caregiver when I adopt a new dog. Pamela's care for my dog, along with her willingness to do the extra effort to take care of Juliette's special issues, showed me what a responsible caregiver she is. You will not be disappointed!”
13. Marlee S.
“Marlee is the best! This is my 5th or 6th time using her to cat sit and her attention to detail is amazing! She’s always so loving and truly cares for your pets.”
14. Megan S.
“Megan dropped by exactly when we needed her to and she provided updates and pics each time. We were able to relax on our day trip to attend a wedding and we'd definitely use again should the need arise.”
15. Grace W.
“Grace is a responsible, caring sitter. We did not worry once while we were out of town! She couldn’t have done anything better. Thanks, Grace!”
16. Tori F.
“Detailed, responsive, and so so caring! She comes to help with my sweet girl and I love her reports about their fun together!”
17. Brittany O.
“Brittany was on time and sent lots of pics from her drop in! Thank you!”
18. Kennadi M.
About: I have watched over dogs for the past few years for friends and family as well as my own pup who is 5 years old! I am currently searching for work in the Merriam area and looking for extra income. I work from home a few days a week and I am available most weekends. I treat animals like my own. I like to make sure they get enough water and exercise just as I would do for my own dog.
19. Jennifer T.
“I have used Jennifer before any every time she is so great! She snuggles and plays with Poppy and even wipes down her paws when they are dirty! She takes lots of pictures and provides updates and has great communication. Thank you for being so great Jennifer!”
20. Abby K.
“Abby has taken care of my family’s and family friend’s dogs for a few years now. She puts our pets first, which is so comforting knowing they are in good hands. She’s the only person I would trust my puppy with because I know she follows through with love and care. If anything ever comes up, Abby is the first to help us out. She always goes the extra mile, and we couldn’t have found a better caregiver for our pets.”
