“I left my dog, Theo, with Kelsey and Forrest for a few hours, and definitely plan on using them again in the future! They were very accommodating, and facilitated a meet-up beforehand, so that Theo could get comfortable with them and their space before his stay. When I dropped him off, he didn’t even look back! Kelsey and Forrest are very trustworthy and obviously animal lovers.”


“I was so pleased with Kim. She is very responsive, conscientious and reliable. She took great care in my home and with my dog. I really appreciated her updates and pictures when taking my dog out. It is wonderful to have someone you can depend upon and know that they will be there for your pet.”


“Lauren was communicative, thorough, and got along so well with my cat, even with short notice! It was a load off my mind while traveling, and I really appreciated her time and work.”


“Suzanne was very responsive. I loved the daily pictures! She took good care of my babies. I appreciated that she took initiative on things like vacuuming and taking out the garbage without me having to ask. I felt my home was well taken care of. She was also very flexible when I had to extend my trip plans. Overall I would recommend her for cat sitting!!”


“Brian has helped us out when we’ve needed a last-minute dog sitter, has been flexible when we need to adjust, and above all he cares for Gus like family. We have booked Brian’s services several times and intend to continue!”


“Abby has been coming to my house this week every day to take my dog for a long walk and spend the remaining hour with him. She is very communicative and accommodating. I highly recommend!”


“Molly did such a fantastic job watching our fur babies while we were out of town for a couple days! This was our first time having Molly come over and she certainly exceeded our expectations. She sent photos and video updates which gave us so much peace of mind. We will definitely use her again and recommend her to any of our family or friends with fur babies too!”


“Kaitlyn was great with our two cats! We appreciate her loving on them while we were away. Norris and Nelson also appreciate getting wet food, treats, playtime, and pets. Great communication and photos too 🥰”


“Abby was fantastic! We were worried about using Rover for the first time but ended up being SUPER impressed with the checkin system and Abby's work. She sent us pictures and an update every day. She was really quick to respond and nice to meet. We will definitely be using her again!”


About: Hello my name is Mimi! I am 23 years old I live with my husband and his family and we have three dogs and three cats. Paco and Roxy are oldest dogs they are about to turn 3 years old In March and we just got our puppy scrappy he is about to be 4 months old. We have three cats sunshine, melody, and snowy that are also going to be turning three years old this year. I work part time at Chow hound I have a very flexible schedule when it comes to working for rover as well. I have always loved animals my whole life but I grew up in apartments so never really got the chance to have pets of my own other then just small animals such as rabbits,hamsters,ferrets, and guinea pigs. Then once me and my husband got together we got pups and cats and we been really happy with them sometimes they are rebellious but they are also what brings joy into our lives. Also back when I started Rover I started it because since I couldn't have dogs or cats of my own I was like why not help people that need help with there pets so that's when I got introduced to Rover getting to do what I love to do and help others! I am working part time at Chow hound and also work Rover my job they are very flexable! If it is necessary I do request days off if needed! I try my best to give my clients dogs a good time and respect there home if I do housing sitting jobs and as for when I have my clients over dogs over I just let them play with my pups and it’s great I enjoy seeing my dogs socialize with other dogs.

“Madison was great! She was on time and communicated with me in a timely fashion. She took pictures of my babies and feed the kitten. I would highly recommend her!”


“Rachael always does a great job! She is definitely my top choice for my cats. She takes wonderful care of them, sends a great report and takes 10+ photos every time.”


“Emily was beyond amazing. She was so accommodating to our schedule, even doing an emergency drop in for us in the morning. She cleaned up after our pup had an accident and even sat outside with her in the afternoon and sent us pictures! I highly recommend her.”


“Melissa did a great job with my frail elderly dog and two cats. She was super conscientious, thorough, and communicated well. I will definitely call again next time I go out of town. Thanks, Melissa!”


“Claire was everything I needed in a dog sitter. After many bad experiences with boarding, I wanted to give a sitter a shot instead. She was very communicative and helped me through the process of using Rover for the first time. I could clearly tell that she was an animal lover and treated my dog like he was her own. I would highly recommend her and will be using her services again!”


“Ali has been an absolute miracle worker for our family. We have two rescue dogs with a wide range of behavioral issues. One, Stevie, is anxious all the time, has separation issues, and is a resource guarder. The other, George, came from a hoarding situation where she had little contact with humans. When she finally did interact with people due to being heartworm positive and having health issues, she had to go through painful procedures, and as a result, she has deep trust issues. Ali brings the perfect personality and energy to the equation. She is gentle and kind, meeting them where they are. She earned their trust easily by making it about their experience versus forcing her way in. She is an excellent communicator and asked a lot of great questions before our group meeting. We have a cat too. =) We were able to take our first week-long vacation recently thanks to Ali. And we could do so in complete confidence that everything was taken care of, and the pictures she sent us daily reflected happy pets!! We came home to a calm and spotless house, and for the first time, there were NO indicators that our "kids" were unhappy or stressed about us leaving. They may have had a better time with Ali than we did in Punta Cana!! Do yourself and your pets a favor and hire Ali. She is the absolute greatest!”
