“Tracy is the best of the best! Made my vacation stress-free knowing my dog was going to be so cared for while I was gone. Can’t recommend Tracy enough, he is a super hero!”


2. Edmy N.

“Needed a sitter for our pups on short notice and thankfully they were available. Our pups enjoys seeing them and I feel much better knowing they are taking care of her while we are out. They are very sweet but also very professional and I appreciate that! Thank you again!”

“Wes is fantastic. My dog Sam really enjoys his visits and spending time with the other dogs Wes cares for. It's been a really good experience with Wes! Thank you.”


4. Jennifer T.


“Jennifer T. is an Angel in disguise. My cat loves her, she was always on time (even in bad snowy weather), and she took all the stress and worry away when I was gone. Jen will be my #1 pet sitter from now on!”


5. Paris S.


“Paris is an OUTSTANDING kitty sitter!! My boys hated being boarded so I looked towards Rover for a sitter. Her updates were detailed and sweet and she even observed what they liked and needed and adjusted accordingly. I could tell my boys were happy because they happily were coming to her and getting attention. She treated my home and requests with such respect and I am so thankful for her dedication. I will definitely be asking Paris to watch my boys in the future!! If you need a sitter who loves the animals she cares for and wants to make sure you have the best peace of mind I could recommend nobody better!”


6. Tonie B.


“Highly recommend! Upon reading the report card from Tonie, a comment was made from another dog owner, "Wow, you got a good rover." I was so nervous leaving my dogs, especially my ailing senior. When my normal dogsitter cancelled last minute, I was very hesitant having a stranger watch my dogs. Tonie did a great job. I actually prefer her over my other sitters.”


7. Lydia H.


“Lydia did a great job watching Fiona! She was flexible and helped me adjust the time that I needed her services and guided me through the steps to extend her services which was very helpful!! She took care of our dog just like it was her own dog and we really appreciate that!!!”

“Super punctual, great communication and really good with our big rambunctious dog!”

14. Alydia N.

“Alydia always does such a wonderful job with our pups! Always goes above and beyond!”


15. Jacob B.
“I have known Jacob all of his life and I can say that he is one of the sweetest, gentlest human beings that I have ever met! He has grown up always having dogs in the home, and he was generally the one that took charge of their care. Pets adore and are immediately drawn to him, I think that animals instinctively know that he is friendly & safe for them. He was an All American wrestler through high school & college, he went to college completely free thanks to wrestling, his over 3.9 GPA, and all of his extracurricular and volunteer hours of service. Living in an apartment, Jake is unable to have a pet at this time, which is a large part of why he is so excited to work with Rover, he will be an asset to your company and clients! Please feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns. Sincerely, Mikah Paslaski (517) 348-9102”


16. Madeline E.

“Madeline was amazing!!”


17. Jailee F.
“She is very trusting and is very good with animals as she has some of here own. I would trust her with my pets if she was ever in town!”


18. Jamie B.
“Jamie has been a consistent caretaker of our dog Ealy Ann. She has a true love for dogs and truly enjoys spending her time with them. She is intuitive to their needs and is always flexible on the kind of care we need-whether it's a walk or a check in, or in home babysitting- she is very trustworthy and reliable. Jamie is the type of person who is always joyful, and positive in any matter. She makes Ealy Ann feel at home. She's our go to !”


19. Sadie J.
“Sadie was so helpful over the weekend dropping in on my dog to feed him and let him out while I was a work! She made everything so easy!”


20. Derik G.
“Derik has always done an excellent job taking care of my babies. I have two pigs and they are a lot different to care for than other animals, but Derik made sure to follow all my instructions to the T. He takes extra time out of his day to spend with my piggies and love on them. He’s an 11 out of 10! I will definitely recommend his services to all my family and friends!”
