“Devinder takes great care of my cat Theo, who can be a bit sassy and territorial, especially when it comes to his personal space. I’d definitely recommend Devinder to anyone with a quirky or particular pet - he handles them with care!”

“Kade is so great! My go-to cat sitter. They do an amazing job with our sweet fur baby. Good communication all around; and our cat is happy and well-taken care of. I never worry about him when I know Kade is checking on him while I’m away.”

“Rachel visited my pets twice a day while I was traveling. She did amazing: played with them, fed them, and cleaned up their litter box. She took many pictures and I felt at easy to travel knowing they were well cared for 😻”

“Thane was so great with my slightly psychotic and very special needs dog (old and with a bite history). They were so patient with my dog's stubbornness and various quirks and also successfully managed my cats, who are always trying to get out the door. There were no issues and I really believe it was the best possible experience for all my pets.”

“Rachel took great care of my dog! She asked great questions during the meet and greet and followed my directions well. She gave my dog lots of love and attention ❤️”

“I highly recommend hiring Elijah. He’s gone above and beyond taking care of my cats, making sure they have everything they need and giving them lots of love while I was away. He kept me up to date with pictures and check ins, and was kind enough to pick up a package in my absence and get the contents put away in the fridge. Will definitely continue to work with him!”
“Jeff provided multiple days of feeding, cuddle time, walks and loving attention for our dog. The photos he sent helped us feel at ease knowing our boy was safe and happy. We appreciated his responsibility and updates!”

“Holland was A B S O L U T E L Y wonderful, this was my first Rover experience, and I couldn't be happier. The photos & reviews she gave were detailed and joyful, I can tell my baby was well cared for and enjoyed her time with Holland. I will definitely be using her services again !”

“Meghan is hands down the nicest and easiest Rover person I have ever worked with. She is always so positive and def goes above and beyond when she notices anything that needs to be done. I trust her completely!”

“Cat is an amazing sitter! She takes great care of my puppy and is very accommodating with her times. She is reliable and best buds with my little puppy girl. A must book if you’re looking for somebody to treat your dog like you would!”

“Danyelle is AMAZING!!! Took such great care of my boys over a holiday. Gave me daily updates and even put up with some of their eating "quirks", which isn't always easy. But she was super patient with them and gave them all the love they needed while I was gone. I was so super happy and relaxed to know they were in such great and caring hands. Heck, even just the trek to my trash can for litter box cleaning was an extra effort in and it's self. Can't recommend Danyelle enough!”

“Shelley was very patient with our ever changing travel plans, and sent photos during each visit! The only thing I'd change would be to get a short written summary as well as photos. Thanks again!”

“Abby was so wonderful and considerate while watching our cat. She went above and beyond to make sure her needs were met while also taking care of the house. We are glad to have found her.”
“I admit being new to Rover had me somewhat nervous, but after a few conversations and sessions with Kayley I’m so thankful we found her. My Remy loves her so much and looks forward to their time together. I know he’s in good hands!”

“Shawna has been dropping in to feed and care for our kitty for months now and we are so grateful! With our work schedules, having such a reliable, warm, and communicative person looking after our sweet boy has been such a relief. Steve French loves her and she always makes sure he’s well cared for. Book with Shawna and you won’t regret it! Your pet will be in great hands!”

“Emily was absolutely perfect and took great care of my babies! I have one cat that hides from all new people, but he went right to her. I definitely recommend her to anyone who has a furbaby they have to leave for a few days.”
