Dealing with Kristen has been great. She responds almost immediately, has lots of availability, is flexible and my cats liked her. I have already reserved her for a future booking.

About: Hi! I am new to Rover! I am 24 and have taken care of dogs my whole life! Growing up, we always had at least 2-4 dogs in our home at all times, all different breeds and sizes. We treat dogs like children in my family :) I work a hybrid job in office Monday-Wednesday so my availability is mainly Thursday-Sunday. Week days I am available to do visits throughout the day and weekends my availability is very open. I am very good at following directions and I can ensure I will keep your pets safe and do anything I can to make this experience as comfortable as possible!

We reluctantly left our kids for eight days while we went on vacation. Rather than boarding them, we decided to hire Liz so they could stay in the comfort of their own home. At 15 years old, they are both deaf and one is blind so they need extra attention. Liz did an awesome job. In addition to excellent communication and performing visits on time, she drove though a snow storm to perform several visits. When we got home, the kids were very happy to see us, and they were obviously well taken care of. Finally, the difference in cost between three daily visits and boarding was minimal. If you are weighing your options, contact Liz!

About: I’ve cared for family and friends’ pets of all shapes and sizes throughout high school and college. Whether it was my college friend’s energetic puppy or my aunt’s elderly cat, I always loved spending time with them. I offer walks, feedings, playtime, possible vet trips if needed, and of course quality time with your pet in the comfort of their own home where they feel safest and happiest. Currently home for the summer which is perfect for open availability whenever and wherever. Available mornings, evenings and nights! I am flexible in almost every booking if needed. Pets are free to roam throughout the house! Dogs would have to be on a leash to be outside due to the unfortunate circumstances of having no fence in my back yard.

Natalie watched our dogs while we were on a 2 week trip. She kept us updated and 3x daily photos of our pups. So glad she could take care of them 🐶

This is my first time using Rover and Ashley has been fantastic to work with. We have a young puppy and a shy adult dog and we need weekly visits. Ashley has been helpful and supportive working out a schedule, knowing it will evolve as the puppy gets older. She's responsive, flexible, and has given us good ideas on how these visits can meet the needs of both dogs and keep them happy and comfortable.

Sara was AMAZING with our puppy, Cooper! She made sure he didn’t eat anything on his walks because that’s been a big issue with him. She always made sure he was taken care of and administered his medicine since he recently was discharged from the animal hospital. We can’t wait to use Sara again!

About: I've had family dogs for 13 years, but started taking care of some of my neighbors' dogs 5 years ago, whether it be taking them for potty breaks or staying over at their house to give them attentive care. I work part time at a pet boarding place as a kennel tech, so I have lots of experience with many different breeds and temperaments of both cats and dogs. I've worked with dogs of all sizes, from Yorkie to Saint Bernard, and have lots of experience caring for both puppies and senior pets that might need more rigorous attention. I will be working part-time this summer, meaning that on the occasional days I work, I am available any time before 8am and then after 1-2pm. I can still stay over with your pet any day, that just means that on workdays, I would feed and walk them (And any other things necessary) before 8am, and then have to leave for work and then come back at 1-2. Whenever I am not actively at work, I can spend all my time caring for your pets! I am experienced at reading pet body language and adapting to how they respond. I am very communicative and will send lots of updates about your pet, including daily pictures of your fur babies! I can supply treats (with your approval) and can take them to parks and other places for walks, as I have a car and license. I'm dedicated to making sure your animal is as happy as can be :-)

Lindsay and Michael were fantastic. They came to meet us in advance, and took amazing care of both our elderly dog and our not always nice cat :) They were on time, provided great pics, and gave me the peace of mind I needed while away from my pets. Lindsay also helped me through some technical difficulties with my Rover set up (user error, not a Rover app error). Overall, a great experience.

Pam did a fantastic job with our girls. She came to meet them during the meet and greet and even stopped over again to make sure she understood what she needed to do right before the trip. She followed their schedule perfectly and spent a lot of time engaging and playing with them. I could tell immediately that my girls trusted her. She sent lots of pictures/videos and was detailed in her drop in update. I wouldn’t hesitate at all to have her care for our girls again.

Bobby was great with our two dogs! I'm an anxious dog momma who leaves a lot of instructions and wants a lot of communication and Bobby helped me feel at ease. He quickly responded to things and sent great photos. He was also more than willing to accommodate our not set in stone plans as we watched the weather. He was willing to do extra visits or less visits depending on our need. I trust him with our dogs!

Slate was well taken care of with Robyn. I forgot to leave the treats in the pantry and Robyn took care of that. Robyn had a good suggestion for the keys when she did her final visit she clearly has done this overtime. I would highly recommend Robyn.
