Laura did an amazing job with Sushi! She followed all the instructions we gave her and sent us cute pictures everyday. I highly recommend her and will be using her services again :)

Ky provided outstanding care for our pets when house sitting. We felt very comfortable with her in the home, and she willingly helped with extra little things like taking the trash tote to the street. She provides that extra touch of reassurance and comfort. Ky is mindful to send videos and photos, which made the family smile while away. You can tell she totally loves animals. I will certainly request her again when the need arises.

Jessica is great! Our pup has separation anxiety and she goes above and beyond to make him happy while we are away. We will definitely be asking her to watch him again and I highly recommend her services.

About: I have taken care of dogs and loved dogs ever since I was little I watch all my neighbors dogs, they rely on me to walk, feed and stay with them over night. I am currently working part time but have plenty of time to love/care and play with your fur babies. Looking forward to knowing you and your dogs. I care for pets the same way I would want someone to care for my own dog. I will give your dogs love, compassion, and endless snuggles and play time.

Madeline did a great job watching our dog/house while we were on vacation! She communicated with us well and made us feel more than comfortable with her in our home. Our flight was delayed and she didn’t hesitate to stay longer than planned and even ran to the store and grabbed milk for our little one’s bottles. We would highly recommend her to anyone!

Traci was awesome! Jovi loved her and Jovi is picky. Traci sent lots of updates while she house sat and watched our dog for a week. She was all we could hope for and more. Came home to a clean house and wash done on everything Traci used. Top notch and we highly recommend.

About: I have grown up with animals all my life and currently have two great dane's and a cat myself. Walking is one of my favorite things to do with my pups! I am very flexible this summer. I am a current teacher on summer break and would love to spend my days outside moving with your dog. We all know our pets are family. I value caring for our pets like we care for our family. I will also be aware of my surroundings while we are on our adventure outside.

I have trusted Katie to watch my German Shepherd mix, Elsie, several times. Elsie is always treated like she is part of the family and sometimes I think she is even sad to come home because she had so much fun! I would absolutely recommend Katie as a responsible and loving dog caregiver, it's hard to trust anybody else with my baby girl!

Lauren did a great job with Roxy and Nugget! I was so happy to return home and find everything cleaned up and ready for us! Much much more importantly, the dogs did not have that stress outlook they used to have when I take them and pick them up from the kennel. They were very happy and content, and of course, excited to see us. so grateful for Lauren ♥️❣️

Hello I am pleased to write a testimonial for my friend Erin to become a Rover caregiver. I am the owner of a 5 year old puggle Monty. Erin was my roommate when Monty was about 3 yrs old. She would help me tremendously during busy work weeks and when i would go out of town to help take care of Monty. We still see Erin frequently so she can visit him. She would take him on walks for me, make sure he's fed and has plenty of water and would entertain him. I would highly recommend Erin for any dog caretaking needs.

Kayla was fantastic. She watch our two Shorkie's at our house and did a fabulous job. The girls were happy and healthy and had fun playing with her. The house was spotless when we returned and she was very helpful....she had even washed the sheets for our spare room! We would definitely use Kayla again....she is awesome!
