This was our first time using Rover and we could not have been more satisfied. Monica did so well with our 2 anxious dogs. She treated them like her own and gave fun, detailed reports with each visit. We will definitely use her again in the future.

First time using Rover and jenevieve made everything so easy for us! She watched our boy milo for the week and went above and beyond for us! Milo looked as if he was missing us and so she took Milo over to her own home so Milo could play it with her pups and even got to stay the night! We appreciate everything she has done. Highly recommend this lady here!

Amazing job, my cat can be testy around new people and Chelsie handled it like a champ. Made sure Luna had food and fresh water daily along with clean litter. Sent daily updates giving the details on the visit. 10/10!

Jessica was a lifesaver on short notice. She took great care of our babies and sent photos. We got a super cute letter from the kitties :) It was nice to know they were loved on in our absence!

Troy has been nothing but amazing, not only with our dog but with everything he does! Our pup is a bit people selective and moose was comfortable in no time due to Troy being patient and knowledgeable about how to handle a more reactive dog. My husband and I would 100% recommend him to take care of your furry friend too! He is always on time and makes sure he leaves the house cleaner then when he got there!

Maddy is awesome! She went above and beyond to take care of my dogs over the 9 days. When she saw my dog was scared during a storm, she stayed and comforted her. Communication was friendly and timely-I looked forward to the updates. Already working on the next visit. Thank you!

Brad was great for my 2 dogs! One older, one a pup! His communication was timely and continuous. It was so nice to check the “card” to know what happened during his visits. He sent the best pictures, too! I will definitely use Brad again!

I trust Morgan with my two children (1 & 7) for any extended period of time. If I had a dog I would only choose one with her help. She has the perfect temperament for both dogs and children. She is also an amazing friend. She is very trustworthy, honest, and caring. Morgan takes care of her sisters’ dogs whenever they need her to, and she is accommodating to each dog’s specific needs. She has experience with both puppies and senior dogs. Morgan would make a great dog walker and sitter for your company.

Keturah took care of my dogs during my workdays for a handful of years. I have a chiweenie (who frequently gets eye infections) and a nervous yorkie who requires a certain diet. She's always done great with them and still gets excited to see both of my dogs. I still reach out to her when I'm going out of town. Very reliable girl and loving towards my little guys. I've always been grateful for her.
