“How our pets will be taken care of is always a source of stress when we're away. One of our dogs in particular has high anxiety and is very needy. But sitters like Tina really put our mind at ease and let us enjoy our time away. She's very sensitive to our animals' needs and is very communicative throughout the weekend so we know they're doing well. We've had weekends where one has had an upset stomach and she's needed to give meds on the fly -- there seems to be nothign she can't handle. We trust her with our pets implicitly <3”
“Seriously the best experience ever! My dog was taken care of very well! Brynn stayed at my home while I was out of town. My dog is very co dependent, and I was concerned leaving him. He was happy when I came back, but wasn't losing his mind when I arrived home. He reacted for just a bit, and then was acting like everything was back to normal quickly. Usually it takes him a few hours to be back to his normal self. Brynn is somebody that I will recommend with a raving fan review!”
“Jen is an amazing sitter. She is so genuinely caring and thoughtful. I felt very comfortable with her taking care of my dog and the house, and she was so wonderful about keeping me updated, even with a 6 hour time difference!”
“Joudi was truly a last minute godsend. Right before my wedding we got a horrifying diagnosis of CHF for our one cat. (we have four) With this new diagnosis and treatment regimen we desperately needed someone with the experience, skills and overall caring attitude that is Joudi. She was seriously amazing and allowed us the much needed peace of mind over our wedding weekend. I literally can't recommend her enough, our kitties miss her already! I could not have asked for a better first experience using Rover!”
“Ashley was AMAZING with our two pups! We never leave without them because they have anxiety. Ashley came in and immediately our dogs were excited and comfortable around her! Without a doubt we will be using Ashley for our future needs!”
“Plachette did a wonderful job caring for our dogs! She provided regular updates, sweet pictures and videos, was reliable and made me feel very comfortable that our pups were getting good care while we were away. I would recommend her to any dog owner!”
“Melli was absolutely incredible!! We have a busy household with 4 animals (including one very young puppy!), and she was so caring and attentive with each one of them. We came home from our trip to a spotlessly clean house, a well watered garden, and (most importantly) 4 very happy and calm animals. It was clear that they had been so well cared for while we were away. We also got tons of adorable pictures and updates from Melli throughout our trip, which really helped to put our minds at ease. We will definitely be booking with Melli again in the future!!”
“Bryce followed all care instructions for Max. It was great to receive daily pictures of Max during walks or breaks. He did a great job caring for our family pet while being away overseas. I highly recommend him and look forward to needing him again in the future. Thanks for caring for Max!”
