“Justine just finished caring for our two cats for the first time and we certainly hope not the last time!!!! She was communicative, detail-oriented, and sensitive to how our cats were doing and what she could do to help them. For example, when one of our cats wasn't eating, she moved the food to the cat's hiding spot, which solved the problem! Thank you so much, Justine, for taking care of our cats and reducing stress on our wedding weekend! :D”

“I’m happy to recommend my sister, Gabrielle, for her Rover application. She’s kind, friendly, and absolutely loves animals. We grew up with Border Collies, so she’s used to caring for energetic dogs, and we’ve always had pets in the house. Gabrielle is hardworking, honest, and great with both animals and homes. She loves walking and spending time with pets, and I know she’ll take brilliant care of your furry friends and your home. You’ll be in safe hands with her!”

19. Carrie C.

“We left our 1 year old dog and cat in Carrie's care. Our little puppy instantly felt comfortable with Carrie at the very first meet and greet. After interviewing over 6 people prior, we instantly knew that she was the one to care for our girls. The daily pics we received showing our babies healthy and happy made it so much easier to enjoy our vacation away from home. We would definitely recommend Carrie and will continue to use her in the future :).”
