During a scheduled walk, the walker lost my house keys, which had my full address labeled on them. I was in therapy and unable to respond for about 30 minutes. When I did, I had to explain that the keys were labeled with my address; only then did the company bring up calling a locksmith. As a result, my 10-year-old dog was left outside with the walker for an hour, and would have been outside for much longer if a friend hadn't picked him up. It took 3 hours to resolve this issue. The company did pay for the locksmith, but communication was limited unless I initiated it in regard to status of the locksmith, and the owner said she would look for the keys but did not. I was also charged a cancellation fee on a separate day, despite explaining I cancelled because my grandmother had passed away and I had stayed home from work. They also charge $10 extra for "a late booking". Based on this experience and the safety concerns involved, I would not use this service again. The owner communicated with me respectfully but again my safety (single woman living alone) and my dog's safety were jeopardized - while the issue was resolved I'm shocked it happened in the first place. I'm sure this company delivers great services outside of this mistake but I can't keep this to myself as it was extremely upsetting and has NEVER happened in my 10 years of being a dog owner using multiple services.

My experience with Roll Over Rover has been excellent. Yvette has taken care of our 3 cats thrice…read morenow, and all times we were thoroughly happy with her service. She first conducted an in-home visit to meet the cats. She spent a few minutes getting to know them, and listened to feeding and care instructions. She took her time and really listened to the specific needs of the cats. She took notes and seemed immediately to exude confidence and professionalism, and left us with the feeling that she would take excellent care of the cats. There were never any problems while we were away, and Yvette text messaged us on the day of our return to make sure we'd arrived in town on time. In Yvette's care the cats were fed, the litter box cleaned and she even plays with the cats on each visit. We would have no hesitation recommending Roll Over Rover Pet Sitting & Dog Walking to anyone with dogs and/or cats who need care.

A word about me, I am a highly anxious mother of two adorable kitties (yes I am that dork who refers to herself as mommy to the cats). That being said they are my pride and joy and I have the hardest time leaving them when I have to go away, that is until we found Yvette. Yvette was referred to us by friends who also use her services (daily) and are very happy. Yvette not only takes amazing care of the kitties (brushes, feeds, plays with), she also sends text updates and photos while you are gone just as an added bonus. This last vacation one of my kitty's was on a crazy med regime for chin acne which included liquid antibiotics twice daily and mediated chin wipes. He hated that drama and I was so nervous to leave him. Yvette handled it like a pro, no problems at all. Lastly she always makes sure you notify her when arriving home, it is so comforting to know that our kitty sitter cares this much.

I can't say enough about Mike and Maya!!…read more I recently left LA and I have to say that me, my boyfriend, and our cats are devastated to have lost them. They are incredible cat and dog sitters. I find that finding a good cat sitter is hard, especially to find one that plays with the cats and spends time with them. Mike and Maya not only spent time with our babies, but they would send us photos and our cats were always in a good mood when we got home. It was clear they had not been 'abandoned' during our 2 week holidays abroad or our various shorter trips. Further, our cats are rather high maintenance, eat only wet food, and need 2 visits daily. Through the photo and text updates I always felt secure that the boys were very well cared for. Mike and Maya, we miss you already!!

Mike & Maya are the best! They have been caring for our 10 yr old Labrador, Lilly, since May 2012…read more(hard to believe we're coming up on a year). Lilly is our "doghter" and it is very important that she be in good, kind, caring, hands - and that is Mike & Maya! Twice a week Maya comes to walk Lilly and give her dinner. Sometimes it's more often, depending on our busy work schedules - they are always accommodating and flexible. We've also had them stay overnight with Lilly when we traveled out of town. It is such a relief to know our Lilly is well cared for. We trust them completely, to be in our home. These guys go above and beyond. Once, my partner managed to get locked out (I don't even remember the story behind that), and Maya made a special trip to bring keys over. Another time, we ran out of dog food, and Maya stopped on her way and bought Lilly her favorite brand. They have even done a few last-minute requests to assist us when something unexpected comes along and impacts our schedules. I've lived in different locations and used different pet sitters over the past 10 years for Lilly. Honestly, there is something very special about Mike & Maya. They are like animal whisperers, and have come to feel like part of our family. You don't find service like this very often.

From the daily detailed report (ya'll, it is detailed!), to the photos of my pets, to the reasonable prices, they continue to show up as a reliable and extremely caring company. Aubrie and her team always communicate clearly and effectively and the process to get booked in has always been well organized and easy. These are legit kind humans who really do care. I tour with bands so I am away A LOT and for long periods of time and I never have to worry about not only my pets but also my home; both are treated with extreme care and respect. I also appreciate that they are still Covid conscious (yes it's still a thing and people are still getting sick) because with the amount of homes they go into, the immunocompromised need to be looked out for. I can vouch that the time to take 2 covid tests to show my negative status after having it (right before I was leaving and needed to show them my cats new medication) is well worth the service you will get from VP. Speaking of medication, they are experienced in giving pet meds, even things like sub-q fluids! That has been why some companies wouldn't take my pets on in the past. Viva Pets understands special needs animals, which not all companies will take on. Knowing that most of the employees at VP are also pet parents eased my mind that this company understands the importance of peace of mind when you are away from your kids. I cannot thank Aubrie, her team, and Viva Pets enough for allowing me to focus on my job when I'm away and not have to worry about my kids or house. They are really are the best out there and I don't know what I would do with out them! (I've attached just a small screen shot to show just how detailed the daily reports are!)
