Jenevieve treated our dog like her own. We couldn’t be more grateful! We were able to relax on vacation knowing our fur baby was well taken care of. We definitely recommend Jenevieve!

Kassy has been helping taking care of our animals for years. She has bathed and walked my pitbull. Her help with our foster animals has been invaluable. She has also watched our two cats. We will definitely be booking her through Rover!

Cory is the most pet friendly human I’ve ever met! From having his own pets that he loves unconditionally, to meeting my dog and immediately bonding with her, Cory would make an excellent pet sitter. I trust Cory with my own dog, that I consider my child, so I know he is a trustworthy person for the job!

Kayla is very easy to work with. She is very patient and plays with our young puppy when she comes over. She sends a cute picture every time, and is helping us teach basic commands to our rescue dog. I would definitely recommend booking Kayla to watch your animals.

Molly did an amazing job looking after my 2 cats. She went above and beyond dealing with my difficult diabetic kitty. I can't thank her enough for all the tricks and tactics she did to get my cat a shot when he was being resistant.

Katie was awesome with my puppy! This was my first time using Roover and Katie put my mind at ease. She was very thorough with asking questions and took notes to prepare for her visits with Ellie. Katie provided great details and cute pics on each of her visits! Ellie loved her company and had a great time. I will definitely book Katie again - thanks for everything!

I am also a successful Rover provider. And I 3ahave known Dee and her dog Joe for nearly 10 years. She has a great connection with Joe. I have known her to take excellent care of Joe and they are nearly inseparable. Dee has cared for my dog, Sparky, on more than 1 occasion. I trust that she will love him and be attentive to his needs. I also know that Sparky will enjoy car rides and very long walks. I am free of worry about him when he is with Dee. I highly recommend Dee as a caregiver for your dog. They will be well cared for and very well loved.

About: I have had pet since the day I was born. When I had my girls we got a puppy who was 8 weeks old and has since past away I’m March 2022 at the age of 10. We have 3 cats. 2 males and one female. They are our life. We did everything with our pup and take him almost anywhere we can. I work 4a-1230p Sunday to Thursday. Same days I work 12p-close. But it’s not often. Other then that I’m mostly free days/ nights for anything I have good size yard. 3 daughters. 3 cats who are very friendly with other animals. I also have a huge deck for the pups to enjoy the sun that I block off on nice days

I trusted Danny to come over twice a day to feed, give meds and provide company and exercise for my elderly German Shepherd Dog, Jezzie. Jezzie was happy and content when I returned. Danny left me a note, and also communicated via text and sent photos while I was gone. I give him an A+!
