Emerson G.
“Emerson has dog and house-sat for us several times a year since 2021 sometimes for as much as 10-12 days at a time. The dogs love her. One of our dogs was ill and elderly, including frequent accidents in the house. Emerson administered medications, coaxed food, and cleaned up after him appropriately. Our other dog, normally unfriendly, took to Emerson after a first meeting. Now when Kona hears us mention "...Emerson..." in conversation, she runs around whining looking for her. When she saw Emerson's car at a neighbor when Emerson was cat-sitting, Kona pestered me til I took her over to say Hi to Emerson. As far as Emerson staying at our house: - the house was clean and orderly. I think she vacuumed before we got back! - she didn't eat all our food even though we said she could - Things were in their proper places. - No parties! Also, I worked with Emerson's mom for several years and have met the rest of her family multiple times. They are good people and she was raised with good manners and values. They back her up.”
Walker pet parents share their Rover experiences
Lauren was great! She took great care of our cats while we were away and she was super attentive to playing with them, making sure their water dishes were full and she even went the extra mile to help us with some house related items, too. She was very communicative and sent us updates and photos when she was at the house. I would book her again in a heartbeat.

Another great visit from Kalee! She is a great communicator and leaves lots of details on the visit.

Olivia was wonderful! This was my first time leaving my cat with someone outside of friends and family, and Olivia was able to put my mind at ease. Communication was great, and I could tell Sebastian really warmed up to her based on the photos and updates she provided. It was comforting knowing Bash was in such great hands. Olivia went above and beyond. Would be more than happy to have her care for Bash again!
