“Kaylee spent time with Copper when I dropped him off to make sure he was comfortable. He only spent the night and he had a kennel between two others. I would have loved to have been a fly on the wall to see how he responded to being in the kennel between the two other occupied kennels. He was very happy to see me the next day as I was him! Kaylee was very friendly!”

“We had a great experience with Janny and Tramyra! They are incredibly knowledgeable, laid back and patient. They watched our two dogs for over a week, took them on several walks and gave them lots of play time with other furry friends. One of our dogs has battled severe anxiety in the past when we’ve left her and also displayed nervousness around other dogs. Not only did she feel at home with Janny and Tramyra, but she felt comfortable enough to interact with and play with other dogs. Our dog who is on a weight loss journey even lost weight during his stay! They sent daily updates and lots of pictures to give us peace of mind. This was our first experience using Rover and it left a really good impression!”

“Eric was outstanding - his demeanor with my dog was perfect from the beginning. I could tell he cared - it wasn't just a task to make a few bucks, he cared about my dog being happy and cared for while I was away. Great communication and photos throughout the week as well. I'll definitely go right back to him for my dog when I need to go away again, and I recommend him HIGHLY to anyone else.”

We didn't worry about our pup for one minute while we were away. We would definitely book her again to care for our little Rowdy ❤️ Can't thank her enough for taking such good care of him!”

About: I have two dogs right now. One is a yellow lab and the other is a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel. The Spaniel is 3 and the lab is 2. So there is a lot of energy in the house. I have experience with walking them both while on camping trips, giving them baths, playing fetch and of course laying on the couch and cuddling. I also used to have an older Cavalier King Charles Spaniel so I have experience with all ages of dogs. I love to interact and give dogs all of my attention! I have currently just finished my first year of college at Buena Vista University. I am looking to make a little more money for this summer, and this job is something I know I would enjoy. I am not sure how my summer will plan out exactly yet, but I would love to make time and will be flexible! I live in the country with a 3 acre yard. There is plenty of room to run around and play fetch if needed. I also have two dogs on my own that are very friendly and playful, but can also be calmed if needed. I will respect your needs and wants as the dogs owner.

“Jordon has done extended stays caring for my long haired cat, Oliver. Oliver really doesn’t like to be social with anyone, but me! Jordon sends pictures everyday and to my surprise some of the pics….Oliver is sitting next to and relaxing with Jordon. He is very responsible & caring. He goes above and beyond. I will ask for Jordon every time I need someone to stay with Oliver while I’m away. Thank you, Jordon!”

“I’m so grateful I tried Rover and found Ashley! When Ashley came over for a meet and greet, Jasmine immediately loved her! She is so kind, loving, and a personable. Ashley took the time to get to know Jasmine and asked great clarifying questions. I absolutely loved receiving sweet updates and photos when I was gone! I was not worried the entirety of my trip because I knew she had it covered!! Ashley was even sweet enough to clean, wash the bedding, and vacuum without being asked. Ashley’s genuine love for animals and her strong communication skills make her the perfect sitter! I truly couldn’t have asked for a better experience. I’m so thankful for her and will absolutely book her again!!!!”

About: I have had pets in my life since the day I was born. I got my first cat when I was 3 and have had many more since then. :) Caring for my pets has become something that I have worked on and improved over the years - and I love meeting new pets! I own my own business that is run from my home and a downtown location - just three blocks from my home. :) My husband runs our household and is home or helping me daily. We have a fenced in yard that is big enough for the dogs to run laps - and three other dogs who adapt well to having friends over. :)

About: My experience with cats changed about 5 years ago when I began seeing my partner. Through that relation I also gain 6, yes 6 additional fur children. Unable to turn away from an animal in need, I’ve gained a new love and understanding for these little nuggets They always come first! Even with my own fur children, everything else is on hold until their needs are met first. Same for all pets. They always come first! Even with my own fur children, everything else is on hold until their needs are met first. Same for all pets. They are all treated with the golden rule.

“Kaylee spent time with Copper when I dropped him off to make sure he was comfortable. He only spent the night and he had a kennel between two others. I would have loved to have been a fly on the wall to see how he responded to being in the kennel between the two other occupied kennels. He was very happy to see me the next day as I was him! Kaylee was very friendly!”

“We had a great experience with Janny and Tramyra! They are incredibly knowledgeable, laid back and patient. They watched our two dogs for over a week, took them on several walks and gave them lots of play time with other furry friends. One of our dogs has battled severe anxiety in the past when we’ve left her and also displayed nervousness around other dogs. Not only did she feel at home with Janny and Tramyra, but she felt comfortable enough to interact with and play with other dogs. Our dog who is on a weight loss journey even lost weight during his stay! They sent daily updates and lots of pictures to give us peace of mind. This was our first experience using Rover and it left a really good impression!”

“Eric was outstanding - his demeanor with my dog was perfect from the beginning. I could tell he cared - it wasn't just a task to make a few bucks, he cared about my dog being happy and cared for while I was away. Great communication and photos throughout the week as well. I'll definitely go right back to him for my dog when I need to go away again, and I recommend him HIGHLY to anyone else.”

We didn't worry about our pup for one minute while we were away. We would definitely book her again to care for our little Rowdy ❤️ Can't thank her enough for taking such good care of him!”

Not only did Adriana care for our family 😻 pet we all love very much, but she also “looked after” the outdoor neighborhood “pets” that sometimes eat & stay in the makeshift “house” built to help them stay as warm as possible during these winter months!! She also went above & beyond doing some light housework inside & outside!”
