1. Molissa S.
“Molly was awesome with my pup Leo! She was easy to communicate with, came over on short notice, and sent photos and updates during the visit. I certainly feel better leaving the house when I have her booked! Thank you Molly!”

“Kaysie was great! She was able to accommodate my dog on a last minute notice, and she made me feel comfortable as she is the first time I used Rover.”

“Mandie was great! She came on time and followed all our instructions perfectly! I was very comfortable having her watch our kitties.”
5. Linnea M.
“Linnea was very responsive and helpful when things did not go exactly to plan. One of my dogs is prone to accidents and she did a good job cleaning those up as they occurred. She also helped when one of my dogs was digging a hole under the fence. She was kind, responsive, and clearly enjoyed spending time with our dogs. She followed instructions well for their care and I can wholeheartedly recommend her for drop in appointments!”
6. Kathleen H.
“10/10 Kathleen kindly came to check on my fur baby and made sure everything was good to go! She also brought in my mail and included lots of pics of my baby.”
7. Stephanie & Benjamin L.

8. Megan G.
“Megan was a joy to take care of Latte for me!!! I loved seeing all the pictures! She was professional and very friendly. I would highly recommend her and I will use her again!!!!”
9. Kirsten S.
“My cat is 3 years old had a different pet sitter for over two years and got used to her a lot so I was worried how she would react around a new person. She warmed up to Kirsten fast. Kirsten always sent me updates (I was away for a week) and took care of my baby. When I came back home I felt my cat acting as usual and happy. I am also happy she found a new friend to hang out with when I am away!”
10. Carly S.
“Carly did a great job dropping in on my very energetic boy! She sent me so many pictures while I was out of town and it really put me at ease that Atlas was happy.”
11. Meghan M.
“I have a Great Dane and Meghan has always been so wonderful with walking her. She is not always a easy walker and she always does great with her. Opal (my great dane) gets so excited to see her and spend time with her! I can recommend Meghan enough to love on your pets when you can't!”
12. Jeanne P.
“Great job, very timely and followed directions.”
13. Lucy & Matthew A.
“Lucy & Matt take great care of my furbabes! I received a ton of adorable pet pictures every day, as well as pictures of their food & litter situation so I could check that all looked normal. Based on these pictures and the visit descriptions everyday, I could tell that Lucy & Matt were very caring and deliberate in how they spent the time with my pets.”
14. Tessa B.
“Tessa is absolutely wonderful! She took such good care of our cat and treated him like her own pet. Our cat is skittish around new people and she was very patient with him. She is an excellent communicator, letting us know when she would check on our cat and updating us on how he was doing. Tessa is reliable, capable, and it is very clear she has a heart for animals, which we greatly appreciated. This was our first time using Rover, and we are pleased with the service she provided. You will be so lucky to have her watching your animal family members! Thank you again, Tessa!”
15. Tiffany M.
“We couldn't be happier with trusting Tiffany to take care of our kitten Nuggy (orange shorthair) for 5 days during the Christmas holidays. Tiffany was very professional throughout and provided outstanding care to our boy. She followed all of our care instructions to the letter (feeding, scooping, cleaning) and provided quality play time during her visits. In the short time that she was taking care of him, Tiffany was able to earn his trust and bond with him. This is quite indicative of Tiffany's manners as Nuggy is quite shy and easily scared and effectively Tiffany was his first social interaction. Overall, we highly recommend Tiffany and are thankful to her for giving us peace of mind that our boy and our home is in good hands while we were on vacation.”
16. Adventures with C.
“Cici took such great care of my clan, and took so many photos and always let me know when she was on her way. Super friendly and communicative on top of taking great care of the babies, all last minute! We love Cici and can’t wait to have her watch the babies again (:”
17. Natalie D.
“Natalie did a great job watching my nervous cat Luna! She gave me daily updates on how Luna was warming up to her and included some cute pics. Definitely recommend!”
18. Kirsten E.
“Kirsten was amazing! She was very informative and made our cats feel safe and comfortable. I would definitely recommend her to friends and ask her to cat sit again. Thank you so much Kirsten for your hard work!”
19. Michael H.
“Michael and Maria were great! Lots of communication and pictures so I would never have to worry!”
20. Jessica L.
“Jess was great! She did a great job with communicating a meet and greet and all the details about the drop-ins for my cat. She really made me feel comfortable he was getting all the cuddles and attention he needed :)”
