“Kathryn and Jeremy took excellent care of our dog Max while we were away for a week. From our first meeting with them, it was clear that they had experience taking care of dogs and were very understanding and knowledgable about our dogs unique care needs. We felt so comfortable leaving Max with them and when we picked him up it was clear he LOVED his time there and can't wait to see them again! Thank you Kathryn and Jeremy for taking such great care of Max!”

“Our dog was a rescue and can be timid and nervous around new people and in new places. We have used Maria's services three times and each time our dog is more and more comfortable at her home. It is clear that Maria and her family love dogs and don't mind about some of our dog's quirks! Maria has been flexible with drop-off and pick-up times and accommodated us when we needed to switch up our plans. We will definitely be using her again! ”

“Liz was amazing with our little dog Fiona. We received daily updates and pictures and she went above and beyond to make sure our girl ate (she gets nervous in new situations and won’t usually eat but Liz took the time to try different things until it worked). It was such a comfort to know our baby was in such good hands while we were away. We will definitely book again 😊”
“Janelle was very kind and caring with our doodle. I received great pictures and timely updates. Her home is well equipped and welcoming for her visitors. I would absolutely leave my dog with her again.”

“Andrea took very good care of my baby, i was so nervous leaving him with someone new. But i am glad i found her. My baby was well taken care off and he seem very happy.

“Angela and Tommy were amazing with my mini Aussie! They sent picture updates where she looked happy and comfortable relaxing around the house and playing with friends in the yard. Highly recommended!”
“Brittany was so great! She sent lots of photos of all the fun our dogs were having, keeping my mind at ease. She walked the dogs and made sure they had plenty of exercise, and from the looks of it- a ton of fun. Absolutely phenomenal!”
“Dyan did a fantastic job taking care of my senior deaf terrier mutt. Her dog got along with him so well and he was clearly happy and comfortable there. Dyan communicated with us the whole time we were gone and sent pictures based on our preferences to make sure we were comfortable with how things were going. She is very responsive to messages and so easy to work with. I would definitely recommend booking with her - I am already rebooking with her”
“Walter had a wonderful stay with Chris while we were out of town. Chris was sure to send regular photo updates of fun playtime with the rest of the pack as well as Walter's regular naps. We're hoping Walter can stay again sometime.”

“I highly recommend Klaudia. She did a great job with our dog, Macy. Klaudia has a kind family and two sweet dogs of her own. She sent several pictures, which I loved. I could tell our dog was comfortable and happy with Klaudia. I was worried Macy may not want to come home with us! We will definitely be coming back in the future.”
“Jennifer and her family took exceptional care of our dog, Matilda. They took their time to allow Matilda to acclimate to their home, while sending updates and pictures throughout the day. This was our first time leaving Matilda with a non family member and I couldn’t be more pleased. It took a lot of stress away knowing she was in such good hands. I would highly recommend Jennifer to watch your furry member of the family.”
“This was the second time that my dog Victor stayed at Nazim's. From the time we started pulling into the neighborhood he knew exactly where he wad and became immediately excited. Really, appreciated the updates during the day and the activities provided by Nazim. My first choice for booking a stay for my pet!”
“We had a great experience with Kate! Our dog, Sampson, stayed in her home and was very well cared for. Communication was easy and consistent, and we felt completely comfortable knowing our pup was in good hands. Sampson is pretty easygoing, but it was clear he was treated with attention and kindness. We will definitely book with them again.”

She remembered their feeding system and Lily’s favorite toy. She is a great communicator and shared pictures of our kitties. Thank you Rachel!”

We looked forward to hearing from her each visit. And she braved an historic snowstorm to do so! Thank you for going above and beyond, Julia! We look forward to working with her in the future.”
“Absolute dream to work with! Penny was pampered and spoiled, as is her right. I am an anxious person but new parent fears went out the window after meeting Meredith. Would recommend to any and all!!!”
“Jill was great with our kitties for the week! I told her she was the cat whisperer after one of my cats came out for her who has never come out for anyone, even friends! Her report cards and pictures were great and it was so nice to know everything was taken care of while we were on vacation! She even offered to water our plants.”
“Marcea did a great job caring for my rabbit, Al! She didn't have a lot of rabbit experience but she had so many good reviews and seemed very conscientious when we were talking so I didn't feel worried. She spent a lot of time with him, changed his litter more often than I asked, and even figured out tricky eyedrops that he got prescribed at the last minute. She was very patient and careful in getting to know him, and as a result he quickly became very comfortable with her and trusted her. She was very communicative and responsive the whole 9 days I was gone, she sent messages and pictures at the same time every day and asked questions when she was unsure about something. She definitely went the extra mile to make sure Al was really well taken care of. I felt really confident the whole time because it was clear she really cared about making sure he was taken care of and doing a good job. I'd definitely recommend using her as a pet sitter!”
“This was the first time I booked Le'Andra to do daily check-ins on my cat Gabby while I was out of town. She was great! Le'Andra always stayed in communication with me by text. And she did her best to still take care of my cat while also dealing with the storm and very cold temperatures we recently had. Le'Andra is nice and very friendly. I would definitely request her again the next time I need a cat sitter, and would also recommend her to anyone considering booking her on Rover.”

“This is my first time booking with Olivia. She helped taking care of my two kitties during the weekends. Olivia is a responsible and caring sitter. She fed cats on time and changes water for them. She is a real cat lover and it is so kind of her to bring a cute toy to the cats as a gift! I had a great experience and will definitely book with her again!”

Would highly recommend and definitely book with them again!”
“Cruz Maria was so great with my dogs and with me! She is an expert dog person who catered to my dogs physical & emotional needs. I was in town for my high school reunion. Instead of boarding them for the weekend, Cruz Maria was flexible so that I could have them be in "day care" in the afternoon and evening. I was able to go to so many events for my reunion and still have my dogs with me at night. Thank you Cruz Maria!! You are the best!”
“Lisa was the best dog sitter. She was friendly, kind, and communicative. She helped us out so last minute. She took great care of our little Hunter. This was my first time using rover and I would definitely recommend Lisa to anyone. She responded to my concerned mom texts and sent pics of our pup hanging out outside. Hunter was smiling, happy, and seemed worn out after his stay with Lisa. We cannot thank her enough for all her help. Thank you so much Lisa!!!!! ?”

About: Hi all! My name is Molly and I have been an avid animal lover all my life. I’ve owned dogs of all sizes. From Yorkie to Cocker Spaniel to Golden Retriever to Great Dane! (As well as cats of all sizes and personalities ;) I do well with different energy levels and love meeting true characters! I’m a fan of jogging, walking, hiking and other outdoor activities. I’ve always been as much of an “animal person” as I am a “people person” and tend to get along with everyone! I am lucky enough to be able to work at and close to home, so my schedule is very flexible! I enjoy afternoon and evening work. I treat my animals like family and will do the same with yours! I look forward to hearing from you and learning about your awesome furry family member! I’m blessed to be my own boss, so my hours can vary quite a bit. However I always will work around your pet’s schedule the best I can and always make an effort to leave them alone for the smallest amount of time possible! When your pet is in my care, I care for them as I would my own. I truly see them as loving family members and not just pets. I think they should be cared for at the same standard that you’d take care of any human, and treated with respect and kindness. The same applies for your home if I am house sitting, I will treat it the way I’d want my own home treated.
“I’m so thankful to have met Kristin and her fur baby. Kristin was so welcoming, kind and loving toward Mooch, and it was an immediate sense of relief to know he would get the same love and attention he gets at home. Thank you for a wonderful day!!”
“Dyan was so kind to look after my puppy, Kailo, who had just recently been neutered. You could tell he had a good time. Dyan made sure to walk him and gave him plenty of love. Could not recommend her enough!”

“So grateful to have found Vanessa on here! Super reliable, very communicative and always takes lots of pics. My schedule is very inconsistent and she always quick to respond and be flexible with what I need.”
“I would 10/10 recommend Jillian. Our first time meeting she did awesome with my dog and her experience with dogs and training really shows. I’ve never seen my dog so responsive and attentive to commands or behaving properly before. If you ask for any tips Jillian has plenty of experience and showed me how to get the best out of my dog. After the walk, my dog plopped right down on the floor and got ready to nap. I definitely will use Jillian in the future for any dog care needs.”
“One of the best! Updated me the whole time my doggie was on a walk and came with last minute notice. Will definitely be booking more walks!! Muffin was satisfied 😇”

“In my first experience entrusting Hannah with the care and walking of my dog, I have an English bulldog that necessitates a stroller cooling vest and hot pavement shoes. Consequently, a considerable amount of preparation is involved in walking my dog. Hannah effectively communicates with me and provided exceptional care for my dog, Venus.”
About: I have taken care of pets since middle school. Family friends and neighbors entrusted me to care for, feed, and walk their pets while away! I am currently a graduate student in an online asynchronous program! This schedule allows some flexibility to care for pets for families who need a sitter or walker. My schedule changes week-by-week, but I will be sure to adjust specific dates so my availability is accurately represented. My apartment complex has a dedicated fenced in area for pets to play and potty! It is very easily accessible from my unit and I will be able to provide as many potty breaks as requested.
About: I have been relied on for many years to take care of my friend's and neighbor's pets of all types ranging anywhere from dogs to birds! I have also had pets of my own for my whole life so I understand just how special they are! I will give your pets the same love and care that I would expect for my own! I am a senior in college and have a flexible schedule! I also know what it is like to have a busy schedule, and will gladly work with yours. I am available most afternoons, any time on Wednesdays, and on the weekends! I treat my own pets like family in a safe and loving environment. I will make sure to follow your pet's routine to ensure they feel safe and comfortable.
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life and just recently welcomed two cats into my family. I have been babysitting and nannying for as long as I can remember which would often lead to taking care of their four legged family members as well. I’ve assisted in potty training and with my own pets helped apply and give medications. I am someone who is reliable and trustworthy. I know how much my pets mean to me and have always treated any animals in my care as if they were my own. Right now I am off for the summer and because I work in a school am off on holidays and weekends. Once school starts again in August a typical work day is 7am-3pm. Throughout my years of working with families came a lot of house sitting and pet sitting for them and their friends. I am always respect of other peoples homes and am more than happy to take in mail/packages and take care of plants. I will always take care of your pets like they are my own. I am reliable and communicative.
