Monica was amazing! She loved on my sweet fur babe while I left town for the day! She left amazing detailed notes after each visit and sent so many pictures! I felt so comfortable with having her come and take care of my babe for the day!

Very knowledgeable, engaged, timely, and kept me up to speed after each visit with notes and lots of photos. Javon made house visits to care for my attention-loving, high energy goof dog and aloof old-man cat. The boys are happy, which is a night and day difference from the times we chose to do conventional boarding.

Emily is a great pet sitter! She has taken care of both of my pups and my cat on multiple occasions. Her home is spacious with room for my pups to roam inside and out. She is dependable, kind, and very caring toward my pets.

I have a really old dog who is mostly blind and quite arthritic and tends to get really lethargic and depressed when I’m not around, and Natasha took incredible care of my sweet boy!!!! I was shocked that she was able to get him to go for a walk each time she went, but it just proves how amazing she is! I really appreciated the pictures and detailed descriptions of her visits! I miss my pets so much when I’m gone and there’s nothing better than feeling 100% sure your pet is in excellent hands. You want to feel like your pet is being loved the way you love them when you’re there and Natasha does that!!

Lisa is trustworthy and reliable. She has been my cat sitter for many years. She has pets of her own and experience with dogs, cats, and smaller pets like turtles and hamsters. I would recommend her to anyone who needs help with a pet.

John was a wonderful dog sitter!! John kept me updated during his stay with our dog.. He even picked up and dropped off which saved us a lot of time. John was very good and took extra time with our dog. Would definitely recommend him and rebook with him! Our dog loved his time with John!

We have 2 dogs we left in Justin's care. A GSP and an Aussie, our GSP is friendly and loving. On the other hand our Aussie is an absolute menace. Not the friendly kind, however with Justin's care, patience and approach she warmed up quickly. I do not lie when I say this was a complete shock as she is very aggressive upon meeting new people. His natural ability to have our furry 4 legged friends warm up so quickly and feel safe in his care was a huge relief to us as pet owners. I would give my full recommendation to anyone looking for animal care.

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!

Hi my name is Luna and I’m a Maine Coon cat. My mom found Mr. Scott on Rover and asked if he would look after me while my family went on a 10-day vacation (without me!). Even though he normally takes care of doggies (?), he agreed to help us out after coming over to meet me. I really like Mr. Scott! He came over twice a day to check my food, let me on the porch and even played toys with me! Being a Maine Coon, I like to be social - so seeing Mr. Scott come over really helped me not miss my family so much while they were away. I hope if mom and dad have to leave without me again, that Mr. Scott comes back to see me! Thank you!!???

Jenevieve totally saved our vacation! I had originally hired another Rover sitter to drop in on our dog while we were on vacation. The other sitter didn't show up for 2 visits. Luckily I was able to book super last minute with Jenevieve and she is awesome! She was always there on time to take care of my dog. He is 15 and takes heart meds, so it's important that he gets them twice a day. She seemed to really care for my dog and sent pictures every visit. I was totally impressed with her attention to his care. If you are looking for a great sitter, look no further!

Cory took great care of Bella while I was out of town. I was gone during the Christmas holiday so he took time away from his holiday to check in on my four legged child. Cory tried to send me pictures of her to send to me but she's known to be uncooperative with photos. Cory listened to my instructions during our first meeting and even assured me he would be by every day. I can not recommend Cory enough if you are going to be gone from your fur baby. I'm sure that Bella did much better being able to stay in her home while I was gone instead of dealing with the stress of separation from me and being in an unfamiliar kennel. I will be booking Cory in the future whenever I am going to be gone to take care of Bella!
