Jeremy did a great job with our dog. He sent pictures with every visit and Max was well fed, watered and walked. Thank you, Jeremy, we will hire you again when we need someone to watch Max.

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!

To whom it may concern. I have known Cory all of his life and he is an extremely caring and responsible person that I would trust with my life and his commitment to his and others and their animals. They are well fed and very well maintained with all their wants and needs met with love and compassion. I would trust him to care for my entire family especially my babies and their care!

Lisa was wonderful! This was my first time using Rover and she made it so easy to work with her. She went above and beyond what I asked her to do and made me feel very comfortable leaving my cat. Will definitely be using her again :)

Our cats are still warming up to the idea of people and tend to hide (even from us on some days), but Nichole did her best to win them over anyway. It gave me great peace of mind to know the person checking on them was so attentive, even if the cats themselves weren't enthusiastic about a new friend. Thanks so much!

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.

Carol has been amazing to watch our 3 cats for the past 4 years. She takes such good care of them - they are mild mannered when we get home from vacation (instead of slightly feral under other Petsitters lol). She sends us adorable photos each day which make us feel connected to our cats while we are gone. She is the most amazing house sitter as well and keeps us apprised of any issues while we are gone - highly recommend!!!

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!

Arielle and Karl did a great job with our puppy, Gus. Gus is shy and they took time to help him warm up while dropping in for afternoon walks. Thank you!
