Morgan did a great job watching our 2 cats and 2 dogs! She checked in often and sent photos. She left the house clean as well which was most appreciated!

We left our dogs with River for a week. We had never used this app before, but River was excellent. Our younger dog is wary of strangers at first, but was a big fan of River by the time we got back! We’ll be using River again for future trips!

Ally is wonderful! She did such a great job with our three attention-loving goldens and gave us complete peace of mind while we were on our trip. We loved the sweet updates and really appreciated her attentiveness (she even reached out to ask about pain management for one of our senior goldens when she started looking stiff after fetch). Highly recommend and won’t hesitate to book with Ally again!

We were originally going to board our dogs during our destination wedding, but I got nervous last minute. Mackenzie saved the day for us. Our dogs loved her and they got to stay home with their routines instead of being anxious somewhere new. Would definitely rebook and highly recommend 💓

Eva was great with Kudo! She gave her plenty of love and attention, and we loved hearing that Eva spent a lot of time with Kudo throughout the weekend. She sent multiple updates with pictures and was very quick to respond when we texted her to check in. Kudo is dog reactive and Eva did great taking her on walks and kept her comfortable and safe. When it was too hot out, Eva kept Kudo occupied with her sniffing games inside and played with her toys so that Kudo still was exercised mentally. She followed all instructions and left the house perfectly clean and well cared for as well. We would love to book with Eva in the future!!

Anthony was fantastic. I was afraid my elderly dog would be too difficult for a stranger to look after him, but Anthony allayed my fears and told me Charlie did well for him.

About: I am a professional young adult who has loved dogs my entire life. I walked friend's dogs all four years of high school and have a large dog of my own who I train and care for. As a college student, I currently have a very laid back summer schedule and have plenty of time to care for your pet during the weekdays and weekends! I love spending time outdoors and would love to take your dogs on long walks, provide them water, and spoil them with love and treats.

About: I've recently sold my home in Holts Summit & am moving to Hallsville, MO. To all my customers over the last year, Thank you so much for entrusting me with the care of your fur babies. I've meet wonderful people & most of all, thier wonderful pets. Until I've settled in my new home, I won't be taking on the care of furbabies. The main priority is getting my yard fenced so I can do so in the future. For those of you who want to continue with my services, I would be willing to meet in Ashland for pickup & drop-off. For any new customers, this is only my 2nd year doing Rover but I have lots of experience with animals. Rabbits, horses even cows & rabbits but mostly dogs & cats. My home is a calm space & works best for older calm, mellow pets. I'm home for most of the day & they get lots of potty breaks. I hope to be available for bookings by end of August, early Sep. Thanks again for allowing me to be part of your babies lives. As of now I am no longer working & will be home for most of the day except for the occasional trip to the store I have a small fenced in yard for my pets to use I also have a room set up with additional pet beds a dog crate and potty pads for accidents. The room is especially set up for the dogs. My son-in-law and daughter also do Rover and I take care of their pets on a regular basis. I also take care of my son's dog on a regular basis

Alli blew us away. Our animals loved her, we loved her; she went above and beyond, even sending us updates throughout our stay, and going the extra mile for our needy Great Dane. We felt so comfortable the moment we met her. Couldn’t recommend her more!

Allison was terrific with my pup and actually he’s been missing her and a little depressed since we got home! She was everything I could have hoped for in a dog sitter. She sent us daily updates and pics and didn’t hesitate to reach out to us. Just super, really I will definitely be using her again.
