“Ethan is absolutely incredible! I spent my first week away from my pup in 8 years and he assured me that she was getting top-notch care and affection while I was gone through phenomenal updates, photos and messages throughout the duration of the care.”
2. Lauren D.
“It is such a relief to have someone like L who actually likes cats taking care of our kitties while we’re gone. L “gets them” and lets them call the shots with how much attention they want at any given moment. Lucky to have you L!”
3. Juli J.
“Juli went above and beyond while cat sitting over the holidays for my wife and I. Our kitty absolutely loved her and Juli took excellent care of her. On top of amazing animal attention, Juli did extra for us during the freezing weather and small tasks around the house she saw would be helpful. We cannot thank her enough and would recommend her to anyone who is in need of stellar pet sitting and more.”
4. Alyssa S.
“Alyssa is amazing....She dropped in to visit with my puppy and cat only 2 times, and somehow, she was able to get them to interact calmly - or at least be civil! - with one another. She, also, reinforces good behavior and gently corrects actions which I hope can be corrected - all of which I'm grateful for, as reinforcement is so important for my puppy. I am so glad to be able to work with Alyssa!”
5. Madison M.
“Madison did a great job watching our kitties while we were away for the long weekend. She went above and beyond, taking our trash in and cleaning the litter boxes. She was super punctual with each drop in and provided pictures and updates. The kitties were happy and healthy when we returned home and weren’t clingy, so I know she gave them attention and played with them. I will continue to reach out to Madison for pet sitting needs in the future, as I know I can depend on her and trust everyone is in good hands.”
6. Elysia E.
“Elysia was great! She was very gentle with xena in their first meeting. Xena was shy at first so Elysia sat on the floor with her until she was ready. I will be booking her again!”
7. Kimberly C.
“Our house is a bit crazy with three dogs and four cats (two of the dogs are seniors and two cats are special needs), but Kimberly was amazing with everyone! Everyone was so happy when we got home from our long weekend away, and the house was taken care of above our expectations. I would highly recommend her and would absolutely love for her help in the future.”
8. Angel T.
“Angel went above and beyond for our pups! We highly recommend him to anyone considering going out of town. He sent multiple updates everyday, spent extra time with them and worked around our schedules! I was anxious about leaving our dogs alone but Angel made it simple and painless. We will most certainly be using him again in the future 😊 thank you so much Angel!!”
9. Romy S.
“We recently needed to try drop in checks since our male tends to mark at other homes- not great for other home sitting! We reached out to Romy. I have to say, wonderful communication, on time and very caring and personal with our dog and cat visits. We felt safe that they were home, comfortable, and in loving care. We would definitely choose Romy again!”
10. Paul G.
“I highly recommend having Paul watch your family pet. My little Ava fell in love with him. He was thorough in his visits, gave so much affection to Ava, sent photos on walks, playing outside, and just relaxing on the sofa. This was her first Rover experience and it was magnificent. Thank you Paul!”
11. Carly R.
“Carly was an amazing drop in for our puppy Phiona! I am super particular about who we entrust to care for our pup and she exceeded expectations! I was at ease and worry free while Carly was caring for Phiona. Will be our first call for future drop ins!”
12. Vonnie & Kevin T.
“I know Roman is getting a nice visit when Vonni comes! On time, reliable!”
13. Courtney R.
“Courtney was very understanding, responsive, accommodating, responsible, and went above and beyond to help me out during such a rough time. She was a kind and calming presence to my doggo, Brandy. He truly warmed up to her. I will absolutely choose her as my dog sitter out of the sitters here in Rover. Thank you, Courtney!”
14. Aidan P.
“Thanks for trying to get them outside. I know Kita can be a handful.”
15. Yvette S.
“She would always take very good care of pets. she has pets of her own has has had them now for quite some time. she's good patient and keep them Interactive. So I would feel very confident if you chose Yvette to have to take care of your pets they would be very well loved and spoiled”
16. Margaret C.
About: I’ve had dogs since I was very young and they have always been very special to me. I have a large house with a fully fenced backyard. We have 2 black labs both with different temperaments. Whiskey is 7 and very submissive, likes other dogs, likes to nap and play. Ginny is 3 and is very rambunctious, she loves to play, loves other dogs, and loves to nap. I also have a 9 year old son who loves dogs, but still is pretty independent. We would love for your fur baby to join us! I am available for drop offs between 6am and pickups as late as 8:30pm. I do have to leave the house to drop and pick my son up from school, however it’s very close. Occasionally, I will need to go to the store or run an errand after I drop him off. I will never be gone from the house longer than 1.5 hours. I have a fenced yard and 2 black labs to keep your dog company, plus two large crates if you prefer. We also have lots of bene bones and chuck it balls.we keep the house clean but do allow animals on the furniture if you are ok with that. Our dogs do sleep in our room at night, however we do have to crate Ginny as she gets wild at night.
17. Kimberly H.
“Kimberly was the best! She was punctual and had great communication while we were out of town. My little buddy is not use to strangers but he warmed up to her very quickly. Kimberly went above and beyond and would love to rebook her in the future!”
18. Carla F.
“Great Job, attentive and conscientious about the dogs and making sure she checked on them. Would use again”
