6. Melanie L.
“Melanie is great! She’s taken care of my girls in 3 extended trips and I just never have to worry. She communicates when needed which I love because it allows me to disconnect. I love the small updates and photos she provides. Also just is thoughtful regarding the basic away from home needs such as mail, trash etc and has been willing to help me there too.”
7. JoVonna M.
“JoVonna was amazing and helpful! It made our trip easy knowing that she was taking good care of our cat! We got daily photos and Margo seemed to be very happy to have a new friend.”
8. Kelsey S.
“Kelsey is 5 star plus!! My cat has only been left with a house sitter since I got her 1 1/2 years ago. I was extremely nervous leaving her for just multiple drop ins over 3 days with a new sitter. When she came for the visitation first, I immediately felt more than comfortable with Kelsey! Her love and knowledge of cats was immediately evident and I knew she would be great with Lily. She even spent time offering me tips with problems I have with Lily! When she left, I felt at ease and comfortable leaving her. Communication and pictures were outstanding and I could see how well everything was going. She followed all my "obsessive" directions wonderfully! I came home to a relaxed, happy cat! Kelsey, Lily and I thank you for your wonderful care!!”
9. Thea M.
“Thank you, Thea!! So nice to come home to relaxed animals and no messes to immediately clean up after a long car trip! Titan hardly had any complaints for me, and that is a “win” because he is mouthy when I go away! 😂”
10. Sally W.
“Sally is very thorough, thoughtful, and kind! My pup loves her, and I'm at ease knowing she's taking care of him. I always look forward to her rover card updates!”
11. alanna h.
“Alanna is awesome! I have 3 cats - one older cat that is shy and often would not come out for cat-sitters, and two young ones that are full of energy and need lots of attention and affection. Alanna gained the trust of the shy one and spent lots of time playing with the ones who need that affection and interaction. She sent helpful notes and great pictures from her visits that really captured their personalities and showed what they were doing during their visits with her. She is a very caring and responsible person and I feel very fortunate that she was able to care for my cats!”
12. Ann C.
“Ann was super accommodating and understanding when we had last minute holiday plans change. She fit us into her schedule and made sure our boys were well taken care of. Couldn’t have asked for a better person to spend some time on Christmas (for the third year in a row) with our two pups!”
13. Mady F.
“Mady is great! Arrives on time and always follows up immediately after her visit about how my dog was doing and what they did together. I highly recommend using her.”
14. Elizabeth C.
“Elizabeth was absolutely amazing with my cat and everything that was needed while I was out of town. This is the first time I had used Rover, and was arguably a little nervous, but Elizabeth gave me such peace of mind with her updates, photos, and overall communication, and my cat was so happy and well looked after. Would use Elizabeth's help every time if she is available!”
15. Jeffrey W.
“Jeffrey was great and responsive, would definitely book him again.”
16. Chenelle B.
“Chenelle is an honest, responsible, helpful and organized person. She is a natural when it comes to taking care of people's dogs. She takes her time to get to know your pet and gain the animals trust so she can provide excellent care. She will send you text messages and pictures of how your dog is doing on each visit. I am happy for the care she provided for our dog and I know you will too. You can tell she has a real passion for pet care.”
17. Allie R.
“I have a feral cat and her schedule can be unpredictable especially during the very hot or cold weather months. Allie was very flexible with our scheduling and allowed me to make a few changes days before I was leaving town. Allie did a fantastic job feeding, changing the water even when the water bowl was completely frozen, and caring for Little Kitty while I was gone. She also keeps you well informed of her visits, sends pictures, and gives updates for how everything is going. I highly recommend Allie and her services.”
18. Tori P.
“Tori made us feel so much better about leaving our girls. She communicated a lot and was very responsive. We spent 0 minutes worrying the whole time we were gone.”
19. Amanda E.
“Amanda was amazing and took her time with our kitties, especially my shy boy that takes awhile to warm up to new people. She was able to get him comfortable with her and administer his twice daily insulin that he needs. She also was very attentive about checking litter boxes, water, and cleaning up any little messes. We will definitely book with her again. Thank you Amanda for taking such great care of our kitties!”
20. Alexis Z.
“Alexis was fantastic! She checked in at the times she said she would, and always sent cute pictures of Jett. I will definitely be booking with her again!”
