First time using Rover and jenevieve made everything so easy for us! She watched our boy milo for the week and went above and beyond for us! Milo looked as if he was missing us and so she took Milo over to her own home so Milo could play it with her pups and even got to stay the night! We appreciate everything she has done. Highly recommend this lady here!

Amazing person! She took such great care with my cat over the holidays. Every check in I received photos and updates of her litter box, food and of course my cat getting cuddles and pets that she loves. Would definitely recommend her to all my friends and will look forward to having her look over Hazel the next time!

Andrea has been amazing, our dogs can be a lot and be very hyper. She plays fetch, gives them water and feeds them breakfast. She even takes the time to clean up if our dogs manage to escape out of the kennel and make a mess ( they counter surf). She Leaves a report card every time and sends lots of pics with just the hour she’s at our house. I would recommended Andrea 10/10!

Tarah is such a great cat sitter! Our kitties warmed up to her so quickly. Very flexible scheduling, always responsive via text or Rover message, kept us in the loop with lots of cute pics of our babies. Will definitely be rebooking in the future!

Nichelle is an energetic person who cherishes animals. She is a great mom to her dog, Freckles. She has a special bond with dogs--they are drawn to her and seem to love her instantly. She is a very warm and fun person who instantly shares her heart with animals, whether it be her own dog or other dogs we may encounter while on a walk. It is honestly inspiring to watch the joyful way Nichelle interacts with animals. She delights in their individual personalities and enjoys doting on them. I was especially impressed at the careful attention she pays to her own dog's diet and care. She is also very meticulous--always making sure her dog is well groomed and of course, cleaned up after on walks. Nichelle's huge heart for animals makes her an ideal candidate to work with anyone's pet.

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.

I’ve known Kenzie since she was 14 years old and she’s always had a strong passion for all animals. She grew up with several dogs in her family home and has continued to care for animals through fostering, volunteering with animals, and dog sitting in her adult life. She has watched my dog, Abel, several times and he gets so excited when she comes over! I would highly recommend Kenzie as a dog care giver for your beloved pup! :)

Katie is reliable, thoughtful, and very fun with my dog! She’s very conscious of the importance of routine and communication, and I really appreciated that. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter while I was away. 10/10 recommend her for your pups and will 100% use her again in the future.

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+!
