“Kelley was excellent with my pups and kitties! She communicated well on how they were doing and was very flexible when I asked to add additional visits at the last minute so we could leave for our trip early. Even my skittish mini Aussie immediately took to Kelley! I would definitely trust her with my pets again.”

Short Pump pet parents share their Rover experiences
I feel so lucky to have found Katie! She has taken such good care of our dog. Our dog has a number of health issues and takes a variety of medication. Katie seemed very comfortable handling all of this. Katie is a great communicator and sent detailed notes and cute pictures from all her visits! I feel so comfortable when we have to be away knowing that Katie is caring for our dog!
We are so appreciative of Jennifer for taking care of our senior dog while we were away! She went above and beyond in sending us pictures, cleaning up after him, and taking him on walks. Jennifer was even flexible when our return was delayed. She will be at the top of our list next time we need help.
Kirsten did a fantastic job taking care of our kitty while we were away. She was extremely reliable and communicated with us regularly, which gave us great peace of mind. Not only did she provide excellent care for our pet, but she also went above and beyond by noticing and handling an unexpected ant invasion in our home. We truly appreciated her attentiveness and initiative. I would highly recommend Kirsten to anyone looking for a responsible and caring pet sitter.
I’ve used Caitlin for years for my two cats, and she’s the best pet sitter I’ve had. Attentive, accommodating and so so easy to work with. This most recent stay was the longest and it was reassuring knowing Caitlin had everything under control and on schedule.
