Emily was incredibly quick to respond, and she was energetic and polite with her communications while watching our pup. We felt like our dog was in good hands, and we won’t hesitate to book with Emily again!

Maria gave me the peace of mind when I was traveling and my dog refused to go out. She handled my difficult dog with care and handled it perfectly. Thank you Maria!

Madison was very patient with my very shy cats. She gave me regular updates on how they were doing and went above and beyond with cleaning up after them. I felt like they were in kind and capable hands the entire week.

Emilie was a complete godsend when we needed her. I’ve been using Rover for the 6 years of my dog’s life and I have never met a more kind, gentle, reliable dogwalker. My dog is always scared of strangers but she instantly took to Emilie and was so calm and serene in her presence! Even while I was out, via the doggy cam, I noticed Emilie calming her down and always having patience with my baby. Our only complaint is that she got a 9-5 job and can’t help us out anymore! She will be missed!

Lani’s first walking session got a little complicated when my dog became protective right at the front door. I reviewed the front door ring footage out of curiosity & was shocked to hear the noises that came from my pooch. Lani was so patient & still continued with the walking session even after some scary snarling. Lani communicated what was happening from the very beginning & even feels comfortable to return for additional walks. She was very understanding of my anxious/scared doggo.

Amy was one of the first sitters we found on Rover to drop in on our two Brittany puppies, and have used her multiple times since. She has been very flexible, available on short notice, and communicates with us very well. We'll continue to use her services!

Mona did such a wonderful job with our dog while we were gone. She wrote to us every day and sent pictures twice daily. She is positive, very reliable, professional and fun. We returned to a young dog who was calm, secure and well cared for after the longest stretch she had experienced away from her family ever. That is such a wonderful compliment to Mona's care and caring and we thank her so much.

Ashley is an animal lover! She is responsible, conscientious, punctual, and most of all, loving. She has always cared for family, friends, and neighbors pets when needed. She loves to take her Chocolate Labrador, Kaya, to the dog beach and bathes her after each beach adventure. Ashley is raising Tito, a kitten that was rescued at 2 days. Tito is almost a year and he comes when called and is a very loved boy. She loves to play with all animals. She has swum with the dolphins and has even been kissed by an alpaca! She worked at a Woof Gang Dog Bakery to work with dogs and pet owners. She is a wonderful choice for Rover!

Would certainly recommend to any and all!!

Carolyn did a great job watching my sweet cat, Lucy! Carolyn came beforehand for a meet & greet, - she took notes and asked great questions to be best prepared for the visits. Every day I received several pictures and a sweet message about how they spent their time together. By the end of the week, it was clear Carolyn & Lucy had developed a friendship. It was such a relief to know Lucy was in great hands while we were away. Thank you very much. We will definitely book again in the future!

Paola is wonderful! She sent me photo updates and took the best care of my animals. She carefully monitored how they were doing and let me know with each visit. When my dog did not want to go outside on her visit, she took him out for a short walk to make sure he went to the bathroom. Paola truly knows how to care and connect with animals. I hope she is available in the future for all my pet care needs.
