“Finn was well cared for and very happy to have spent the day with Lucy. We will be scheduling more time with Lucy and would confidently recommend her to others.”
2. Maire H.
“Maire took wonderful care of my cat Millie while I was away for work! She also communicated frequently and sent photos. I would definitely recommend Maire!”
3. Jillian H.
“Detail oriented, thorough, kind, excellent planning and foresight, just awesome! This was my first Rover experience at the time of my booking I had an elderly dog and three cats, we had not gone on vacation in years due to our dog having arthritis and other health issues, but we had gotten her to a point where she was doing really well and we felt we could leave her with someone. I needed someone who could administer meds, live at the house and be otherwise highly attentive to her needs and our cats. I had about given up on some of the people I’d spoken with on Rover, I just didn’t feel comfortable with anyone. Enter Jillian. In our initial texts I got a very positive vibe and immediately liked her. We hadn’t even met yet but I could tell she was a gem. When she came to the house to meet our pets she was aces and again I instinctively knew she was going to be great. Since our meeting our dog very suddenly passed away and when I let Jillian know her response was compassionate and she gave me some time to figure out what we would do. When we spoke again we decided on two visits a day for the cats and she sprang into action to adjust our booking. Jillian was every bit as great as I knew she would be and even surpassed my expectations. This woman is thorough, she thinks ahead, she looks to solve issues even before they happen. We had a snow storm while we were gone and she made sure she got to the house. We received daily photos of all of the cats, who by the way hide from strangers all the time, but not Jillian! I think she’s a cat whisperer of some sort. She was on time for her visits, left the place clean, took her shoes off to walk around the house, so thoughtful!! On prior vacations when I’ve left my pets I always notice they’re a little ‘off’ when I return, not with Jillian. They were very much themselves which speaks volumes. I highly highly highly recommend her. We are already booking another trip because this was the first time in years that I really relaxed and didn’t feel any worry about the pets.”
4. Brittany B.
“Brittany graciously took a very last minute booking for me, was prompt in responding/great communication, and flexible. Sent updates and checked in with me while she was here. I will definitely be asking her back 😊 Thank you!”
5. Ali N.
“Ali went above and beyond for our babies. We are so grateful. First time using this service and wish I would have known about it years ago. Would have saved a lot of stress. Will call on Ali every time”
6. Greta M.
“Greta is an incredibly smart, fun, loving and caring person! She adores animals and has an easy way with them. She has pursued working with animals in some capacity much of her life. She is reliable and a great communicator!”
7. Fontaine R.
“Fontaine would be a great fit for Rover. He is amazing & super knowledgeable with dogs! He’s boarded my 2 year old Lab for vacation & she came home more behaved than when she left! He is also really good with my 5 year old yorkie, who can be a handful. His patience & passion for dogs is admirable. Definitely recommend!”
8. Tessa C.
“Exceptional! Leo was very happy from the start. And THAT is the highest praise. :)”
9. Allore P.
“It’s our first time using Rover for my anxious pup so we were a little nervous but Allore was super accommodating, kind and understanding. Communication was easy, she’s flexible with her time and willing to adjust to our requests. She’s super patient with my dog (who takes awhile to warm up on people), takes him on walks and updates us regularly! So grateful to meet you, Allore! Hope we can book you as his sitter again!”
10. Casey G.
“Casey was quick to reply and took on a request with fairly short notice. Great communication, super nice, on time. We will absolutely be reaching out again! Thank you!”
11. Palma T.
“We were very happy with Palma and would not hesitate to use her services again. Our two German shepherds were calm and content after we returned a few nights later. She left the house atleast as clean as she found it (maybe cleaner).”
12. Mariah G.
“Mariah was very attentive and communicative. She sent a lot of pictures and updates and took care of BB very well. I would have her again in future.”
13. Kanwar S.
“Thank you! I look forward to using you again to care for my dogs.”
14. Dana R.
“Uncle Dana (as Bear & Brady call him) is a wonderful and reliable canine companion. I trust him implicitly to provide fun and responsible care for our boys. Fully recommend!”
15. Kadia C.
About: I could definitely work with training your puppies It just takes a lot of patients which I have for animals only lol I am very hard working, and attentive and respectful of peoples spaces I am a full time student but I am available on weekends. Tuesday after 4:20 and Thursday after 1:40. I would never mind spending a few hours watching your pet! I am currently in a college dorm but I do have two dogs at home if I needed to host. I would just tend to your dog how you would prefer in your home.
16. Triba M.
“Recommend Triba to watch your pets. She made sure my dog was well cared after and taken on a walk. No issues at all. Will use her again”
17. Hanako A.
“Hanako took care of house sitting and my dogs for a couple days— did a great job with taking my pug to Dr for ear allergy. She is responsible and caring and makes sure to provide feedback as you like. Thanks ??”
18. Katie B.
“Katie stayed at my house with my clingy senior pets (2 cats and 1 dog). She took great care of everyone (including cat meds) and kept me posted, including package deliveries and mail.”
19. Julie H.
“Julie is by far one of the kindest and wholesome person I've ever had the pleasure of meeting. My dog Chloe is absolutely in love with her. Julie has a presence about her that calms a room and anyone in it. To not consider her, would be considered a travesty.”
20. Sarah G.
“We have a large, leash reactive dog, Sarah did a great job with him, she is able to get him to calm down when needed. She plays with him to get his exercise out and always provides an excellent accounting of their time together. Sarah has also made herself available to us when we get needed her last minute. Highly recommend!”
