1. Bernadette K.
“Bernadette is amazing!!! It was my first time using Rover and first time having a stranger watch my pet rabbit. I was very worried about having someone in my apartment when I was away and very worried about my rabbit. Bunnies are very sensitive animals, and I can confidently say that she knows how to care for a rabbit!! I also find her very trustworthy! She did drop-ins to care for him. I left long, detailed instructions. Bernadette took the time to read and follow them all, which is super kind and amazing. She sent lots of photos and was very communicative throughout my time being away. I am so thankful I found her and am thankful for how she treated my bunny. It was a very easy smooth process. I will definitely use her for all my rabbit needs, and would highly recommend her for anyone!!!!”

About: I have had pets since I was little and have helped raise them. This sparked my interest in pet care. I love to help out other fellow animal lovers with their pets.

I able to catch on quick to what your animal needs, and will be there to help you as an animal parent.

11. Julia B.
“Julia is a dog owner herself, and has repeatedly bent over backwards to ensure her dog has the care it needs. Whether that’s making inconvenient trips home during breaks on long work days, or understanding that she won’t be able to provide her dog with the care and stimulation it needs on that day and taking him to doggy day care. She is very realistic about her schedule and the care it takes to raise a healthy and happy pup, and is willing to make sacrifices to ensure her dog remains healthy and happy.”
