I was nervous about using Rover as this was my first time and Lori was great! I have a dog that can be territorial and protective and she let me know that he did well and sent many pics. Highly recommend!

What a wonderful service! The communications are great during the visits with your pet and with you while setting up the visits as well. Couldn’t ask for a better service experience! Would highly recommend to anyone needing a person to come visit your pet while you are gone.

Patrica is fantastic! Her communication always so thorough. She sends lots of pictures and I know that our puppy is in good hands. I can tell that she cares for our puppy just like family. I know that I can always count on her in a pinch.

We love Shelly and Avery! They treat our dogs like family, are so flexible, and go over and beyond to keep us updated on the dogs when we are out of town. I highly recommend Dhelly and Avery!

Kiara did an amazing job with our kitties while we were away for a few days. She was an excellent communicator, kind and very easy to work with, and our cats took to her immediately (even our suspicious younger one!). We have an older cat with some medical needs and Kiara put our minds fully at ease with her extensive experience fostering and caring for numerous animals. I would highly recommend her!

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!

Charity is a very nice lady. It’s obvious she’s an animal lover. She took very good care of Ladybug and made sure she was exercised twice a day. I highly recommend you consider her for your pet care needs.

About: Hi! My name is Elise! I currently work part time for a special needs animal rescue where I tend to the dogs. I am comfortable with dogs with disabilities, puppies under 1 year, elderly dogs, dogs with allergies, dogs that need medications (insulin included), blind, deaf, 3 legged, etc. I currently have 2 dogs of my own (great Dane & mutt) as well as a cat. My schedule is split shifts so I'm available during the day time and after my night shift. I'm currently working part time at my shelter where I work split shifts. So I'm available late morning until the evening to bond, play, walk or medicate your pets! I have a fenced yard and a friendly dog who would love a buddy to play with. I have another dog who is dog selective but he would be crated and rotated so they would not be in contact.

Emily is great! She loves my two dogs like they're her own. Super compassionate and puts their needs first. They look forward to seeing her and I can relax while I'm away knowing they're in good hands. It seems like she truly pet sits because she loves animals, not just for extra cash. We can't wait to use her again.

Helen watched our “zoo” for a week-long trip for us and we would absolutely hire her again. We have two dogs and two cats and Helen took excellent care of them so we didn’t have to worry about our fur-babies while on vacation. It was an immense relief knowing she loves animals as much as (if not, more than) we do. She has a kind heart, shows up on time, and even sent pics of their time together to make sure we wouldn’t worry.
