Lori was on time and my pets loved her!! She was super friendly and even wanted hugs from my dog when she came to drop off the key because she said he gave her the best goodbye hug. I thought that was so sweet! He’s an old dog but so loving and he knows he’s so cute. Haha. Thank you Lori!! Highly recommend!

Shelly took great care of all our critters. She communicated consistently, and took plenty of pictures so we could see how happy and healthy they were.

As always, Monica was so great with our dogs while we were away on our honeymoon. She went above and beyond for us—even watering an indoor plant for us, and offering to add on an impromptu drop in visit because of an impending tornado warning/thunder storm! Her notes were specific and in depth. Our dogs clearly love her. We have two rovers we sincerely trust, and she is one of them! Thanks Monica!

Kassy has been helping taking care of our animals for years. She has bathed and walked my pitbull. Her help with our foster animals has been invaluable. She has also watched our two cats. We will definitely be booking her through Rover!

We added an extra visit on the night we came home - the puppies were all taken care of so we could just settle in and relax with them after a late flight back. Christina did an amazing job the whole week!

Andrea has been amazing, our dogs can be a lot and be very hyper. She plays fetch, gives them water and feeds them breakfast. She even takes the time to clean up if our dogs manage to escape out of the kennel and make a mess ( they counter surf). She Leaves a report card every time and sends lots of pics with just the hour she’s at our house. I would recommended Andrea 10/10!

Brad does a great job for us. He is always prompt and sends us pictures during every visit. Our two 75 lb rowdies were very happy and well cared for. We will definitely continue to use Brad to care for our dogs when we're out of town.

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.

I have known Tierney for almost 13 years and she has always been an animal lover. She helps me take care of my dog when I am away and she does an excellent job of taking care of my dog. My dog has to follow a special diet due to allergies and Tierney has always been very accepting and accommodating when it comes to making sure that my dog only has the foods that she can have when she's taking care of her. Tierney also has a large house with a very large back yard that is great for all animals. I know that Tierney would take care of anyone's dog as if they were her own.

Troy has been nothing but amazing, not only with our dog but with everything he does! Our pup is a bit people selective and moose was comfortable in no time due to Troy being patient and knowledgeable about how to handle a more reactive dog. My husband and I would 100% recommend him to take care of your furry friend too! He is always on time and makes sure he leaves the house cleaner then when he got there!

Jessica watched our three dogs several times. She was great with communicating throughout the process. One of our dogs is very nervous around new people and Jessica was super patient with her…by the time we came home from our trip they were best friends! I highly recommend Jessica for anyone looking for a super kind and patient pet sitter!
