“Regan has been walking my dog for months! I love having her. During that time my puppy was just 12 weeks old when we started and she’s been so flexible along the way as my puppy learned & grew. Thanks Regan!! 10/10 would recommend!”
“Jamie went above what I asked and my cat was super happy when I came home! Will definitely be rebooking in the future!! This was my first time using rover and I was very anxious but Jamie was great and I had nothing to worry about.”
“Kaylee was amazing. She was very easy to get ahold of, even before our vacation so that we could easily plan things out. I loved the photos I got on the daily and Marvin seemed just pleased with his service”
“Hillary was great! She checked in and sent photos, keeping us up to date on everything. The cats were completely chill when we got home - clearly it was a good experience for them. We’ll definitely use Hillary again when we travel - such a relief to know the boys are in good, kind, competent hands!”
“Tony is reliable, follows all directions and provides excellent care. My cats love him. He also sends thorough notes so we know exactly what is going on. I would highly recommend him for drop in cat care.”
“Carol was wonderful!! Fantastic and patient with our kitties and went the extra mile to take care of our home. Would definitely recommend and will book again in the future. Thank you Carol!!”
“Caitlyn was great! Great communication and my cat loved when she came over to play!”
“Amazing service and (p)updates from Ashley. She handled my two husky-mixes like a pro and made sure to make me feel comfortable about her own safety protocols and expectations if anything had gone wrong (which luckily it didn't!). She even cleaned up the one accident that occurred and let me know about it. All around 10/10 will trust my pups to her again!”
“Jennifer is the best thing that’s ever happened to our kitty, Helen Rose! She is so fun and so caring. Helen absolutely adores her. Helen is very social and loves to play and Jennifer wears her out but playing all of her favorite games with her. When my husband is traveling for work and I’m working full time outside of our home, it’s so comforting to know that Jennifer is caring for Helen. We also love Jennifer’s Rover cards after each visit. So descriptive and cute. Jennifer is just the best.”
“Very communicative and prompt! Took great care of my guys.”
“Hannah did an absolutely spectacular job. We have three cats who crave attention, and Hannah gave them plenty! She went above and beyond during her drop in visits. We received plenty of pictures while we were gone. Definitely going to be using Hannah as our sitter again!”
“He was excellent with our pets and went above and beyond what was asked of him. I recommend him as he took care of our pets like they were his own.”
“Exceptional cat sitter! Heather is detail orientated and figured out how to use my custom automated feeder setup. She also circled back late in the night to ensure that Samson was adequately fed which I greatly appreciated, as an anxious pet owner. Her pictures of him playing are adorable and may be better than some of my own pictures. I can not recommend her highly enough! I will definitely rebook in the future :)”
“Ann was great! She left my home very clean and was an excellent communicator. I was very nervous to leave my elderly cat alone for the first time in years, especially since he developed health issues, and Ann did a great job taking care of him. I would definitely recommend.”
About: Growing up, my father had 7 dogs at any given time. Big dogs too. I can handle whatever your dog throws at me, because I'm basically a dog care veteran. I'm going to be working a part time unpaid internship soon, but a girl has gotta earn money to live in the city and go to college. I have the utmost respect for anyone who might invite me to care for their animal. I will repay that trust tenfold by making sure your dog is safe and healthy. I'll follow whatever specifics you have regarding your pet to the letter. Also, plenty of pets and love for your dog no matter what.
“Sydney is absolutely wonderful. It was our first time leaving our fur-babies and using Rover— we will definitely book with her again should our schedules align. Our pets loved her and that’s all we could ask for honestly. Thank you Sydney!”
“Ananda took wonderful care of our sweet but finicky cat ahead of the holidays! She went above beyond to read care instructions beforehand, sent regular, detailed updates with pictures that put us at ease, and even took the time to feed the wild birds in our yard. Truly an animal person!”
“Tracie exceeded our expectations in every way possible. Every visit was prompt, great updates, tons of pictures and even some videos. She gave our dog tons of attentions, lots of cuddles, and even brought him some toys. She genuinely cared about our pup which made us feel at ease. If you are unsure or uncomfortable about a dog sitter, Tracie will make you feel confident in no time. We will certainly use Tracie again!”
“Andrea is wonderful! She was GREAT with our dogs, super dependable and provided daily feedback. We will definitely ask her to help out with the pups again. Thank you!”
