“Once again, Tracy dropped in on our fur-babies while we were out of the country. Definitely reliable/dependable, and helps put your mind at ease when you're away from home and want to leave your fur-babies safe in the comfort of their own home.”
“Jen was AMAZING when it came to caring for not only my pup, but also my parents pups! She was communicative & friendly as well as professional & flexible when we made last minute changes. Not to mention compassionate to the pups! All things you *should seek in your pets care provider- highly recommend!!”

“Melinda was good with the drop-in visits! Super kind and made sure my pet was well taken care of. I really appreciated the updates and pictures after each visit—it gave me peace of mind while I was away. My pet seemed comfortable and happy when I got home. I’d book with Melinda again and feel good knowing my pet is in good hands.”

The Knolls pet parents share their Rover experiences
Bree was amazing!! It was my first time using rover and I can say I will be using Bree’s services again. She communicated very well and set up a meet and greet. Our kitty named Chicken instantly fell in love with her. It gave us such peace of mind while we were away, she sent plenty of photos and updates on what they did together during the Drop-In visits. I couldn’t recommend her more😊
