I requested Monica services for an upcoming trip on Thanksgiving weekend and needed drop in visits for my cat. From the start Monica had great communication and did a wonderful job keeping me updated throughout my trip. She made me and my pet’s first Rover experience an exceptional one and I will confidently schedule her services if needed in the future.

Chelsea was amazing doing drop-ins with my newly rescued, high energy guy! Every time I came home he was so happy and calm. Chelsea even taught him to shake! I am very pleased with her care and I would highly recommend her services.

Heidi was so wonderful to work with! She was great at communicating and while we were gone, our heater breaker flipped off and she quickly helped identify it and fix it. Our cat Pearl was well cared for while we were away and we would gladly book Heidi again!

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!

Troy was awesome with Asher!! Left very detailed feedback, and got him some much needed exercise during the day while I'm gone. Asher was very tired after, which is the goal! I have no complaints and would recommend to anyone looking to supplement some socialization and exercise for their pets.

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.

Annalise is an experienced caretaker of many pets! Cats, dogs, ferrets, rabbits, and furry small things like hamsters and ferrets! She is reliable, responsible and follows through. She is kind, gentle and patient with people and animals alike! She is extremely trustworthy and honest. Annalise is my first choice of people to watch my cats and hamster when I leave town!

About: My husband and I love dogs. With two people we can guarantee flexible scheduling and the best care. We own three dogs, one of which has had some past aggression issues, so have experience with behaviors. We have grown up around dogs and willingly choose to surround ourselves with them now. We would love to be there for your dogs as well, when you cannot be :) I have open availability during the summers, and keep school hours during the school year, My husband alternatively has multiple days off during the week. We care for pets by providing for their physical and emotional needs but also respecting their boundaries and watching for visual cues they may be giving about their emotional state.
