1. Madison G.
“Madison watched our cat while we were out of state. It is obvious that she loves animals. She is a friendly and caring person. She sent us daily updates and pictures. We felt very comfortable with her watching our cat and we recommend Madison to anyone needing pet care. We will use her again in the future if the need arises. Thanks Madison!”
2. Nejra V.
“Nejra is the best!! She was amazing with my cat and he loved spending time with her! She even went out of her way to clean up messes he would create as cats do. Also cleaned the litter box for me as I was gone. She helped ease the anxiety of leaving my pet alone. Would recommend to anyone needing a pet sitter!”
3. Tanya H.
“Excellent service! I came back home to a happy and energetic dog. I would recommend to anyone interested in quality service for their companion.”
4. Arielle I.
“Another great booking. Arielle is always fantastic and her passion really shows. She is always on time, follows all my demanding requests, and often goes out of her way to make sure everything is ready for my return.”
5. Troy D.
“Troy helped us out in a pinch today and was able to add an additional drop-in at the last minute. Our golden retriever has a mind of her own and he successfully navigated her routine. I will definitely contact Troy again.”
6. Monica D.
“As always, Monica was fantastic with my cat. I feel so much better leaving her for several days and nights knowing Monica will be checking on her and playing with her and giving her the needed attention and petting while I am away. Until next time.”
7. Cory G.
“My dogs and cat were in such good hands. Highly recommend him. Will use again and again. Was in another country and he was so patient with my payment issue. I didn’t have to worry even at 3700 miles away.”
8. Ezequiel R.
“Really appreciated Ezequiel being available on short notice! He made sure to keep me posted about the dogs and how his visits went. I would book with him again.”
9. Jenna R.
“Jenna is very reliable and great at communicating!”
10. Emily A.
“Emily did daily drop-in visits for our two cats while we were on a 10 day vacation. The cats are on a special diet and both have different needs for dietary supplements and one is on medication. We were hesitant burdening a friend with daily visits that included feeding wet food, filling automatic food dispensers, fresh water, litter clean up, as well as play and cuddles, so we reached out to Emily. She seems to genuinely care about the wellbeing of animals, and was conscientious about following the instructions for the cats' needs, very communicative, and I appreciated that she reached out with questions while we were gone instead of making assumptions. Emily was great with the cats and sent multiple pictures of their playtime and cuddles each day. I felt at ease while being on vacation and will hire her services again in the future. I would recommend Emily's services to any fellow pet parents :)”
11. Lisa W.
“This was our first time using Rover. We asked Lisa to see about helping us out when we were going out of town because she has many repeat customers and great reviews. She agreed to watch our cats and came to our house prior to meet the cats and get any special directions. Lisa asked questions and even got to pet a few of our cats. During out vacation she stopped by and kept us updated on how things were going including pictures! Thanks Lisa! We look forward to seeing you next vacation!”
12. Morgan H.
“Dachshunds approved. I booked Morgan for drop in visits while we were out of town. I was kind of nervous on how my 2 judgy wienerdogs would do, but somehow she won them over, and the pictures she sent proved it. So happy it all worked out.”
13. Dakota S.
“Dakota has taken care of my dog multiple times, and I couldn’t be happier with the care and attention he provides. He’s always reliable, keeps me updated with photos and messages, and makes sure my dog feels comfortable and loved. It’s clear he genuinely enjoys spending time with animals, and I always feel at ease knowing my dog is in great hands. I highly recommend Dakota to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet caregiver!”
14. Chloe B.
“I absolutely love having Chloe come and take care of my Luna. She always does such a good job + Luna just adores her. She is very thorough in communication and updates.”
15. Hannah O.
“Hannah took great care of our pups and we knew they were in good hands!”
16. Sarah P.
“Sarah did such a good job taking care of my little buddy Oliver. She sent picture updates and details of what they did during every visit. I will definitely have Sarah watch Oliver again.”
17. Stacey C.
“Stacey is the best! My dogs loved her from the second they met her. She's very prompt and I don't have to worry about my girls being well taken care of while I can't be home with them! Thank you Stacey!!”
18. Michelle F.
“We have booked with Michelle several times over the last year or so, and she is so good with our two cats! It’s really nice to have the peace of mind that our beloved pets are being well-cared for while we are away from home. Thanks again, Michelle!!!”
19. Alexandra H.
“Ali is amazing! My first time using Rover and Ali willingly did a meet and greet and made the entire process as enjoyable as can be. She's never late and is an amazing with communication.”
20. Tiffany K.
About: I have well over 24 years caring for dogs. I believe a house isn't a home without a dog. We (me and my family) lost our dog, Teddy, about 11/2 years ago. It has been very hard living without him. I still look for him at the door whenever I come home. We are still heartbroken from his passing. Someday we hope to find the courage to love again. Until then we want to love on all the doggies that come to stay and play with us. When your dog is here he/she is part of our family. Please be willing to come by with your pup for a meet & greet before any reservations are made. Our main concern is that you are completely comfortable leaving your fur-baby with us. Here is a coupon for $20 off. Your Promo Code: TIFFAK87923 Your promo code is only for new Rover members you recruit through your profile link. Rules and restrictions apply—read our Terms of Service to learn more. I work for H&R Block during tax season, January thru April. I am home all day the rest of the year to care for your doggie. I care for your dog as if he/she were my own. We will go on walks to Greenbelt Park, Grays Lake, and all throughout our neighborhood. We can play fetch in our yard. Also, belly rubs are a must :)
