“Emily was very responsive and helpful. It was so helpful that she could watch my elderly cat who definitely does better in her own environment. I would work with her again for sure 😊”
“I can't say enough good things about Samantha! She was absolutely incredible with my two kitties. Samantha arrived at reasonable times twice a day to feed them while I was away, and her attention to detail was impressive. She listened to all my instructions carefully, ensuring my fur babies were well taken care of. It was clear that the kitties loved her! I would give her a 10/10 and highly recommend her to anyone in need of a cat/pet sitter!”
“Kathleen is amazing and it ia such a relief to have her taking care of our pups! They are so happy and well cared for by her. She communicates well and the pics are great.”
“Rachel and Wesley were absolute lifesavers when we had to unexpectedly be out of town overnight. We booked them at the very last minute, and they stepped right in to let our boys out a couple of times while we were gone. They sent great photos, thoughtful updates, and communicated quickly and clearly the whole time. Very kind and professional. We’ll definitely be booking with them again!”
“I could not be happier with Molly’s service. She kept in constant contact with me through the app and was responsive to any and all questions I had while I was away. I highly recommend her and Rover to anyone in need of caring responsible people to care for your pets!”
“Grace is the best! Our cat can be quite difficult and she was amazing with him! She took great care of him and I was never worried about him during our trip like I usually am. We will definitely hire her again!”
“Chris seemed genuinely interested in our cats at our meet and greet and showed a great level of conscientiousness through the Rover cards he sent. He interacted with our cats, petted them and played with them. He carried out a few extra requests and more. All we could ask for in a pet sitter!”
About: I’ve always had the love of pets since growing up and into my adulthood. I will love your pets like they are my own, and cater to their unique needs while building a lifelong companionship with them! As per my schedule I am available to pop in and give your fur babies some love and anything else they need during the day. I’m also happy to take them on walks, brush them, or just give cuddles! In one easy sentence, my kitties run the show at my house. Now that my kiddos are grown, my pets are my “babies.” I will care for your pets with as much love as I care for mine, while abiding by the rules in place for your home and pets.
About: I treat your furry family members like my own. From senior pet care and medication administration to daily walks and drop-ins, I provide personalized, compassionate care. Your fur baby will feel safe, loved, and right at home. I am a stay at home mom currently and have two older kiddos. I have a lot of time to dedicate to you and your furry family member. As long as I have 3 days advance notice I can make just about anything schedule wise work. In your home: I will follow any rules and requirements you may have and even happy to grab mail, or do light cleaning if needed as well while away. If your animal has a strict schedule or its more easy going no worries! what your animal needs I can make happen. In my home: I myself have a fully fenced in back yard for plenty of dog running and play. I also allow animals to roam in all the main living areas and they are allowed on furniture if they like. I keep everything covered when we have fur babies in the house. My kids are older and also any animal in the home will be loved and played with by them! they both are animal lovers. I will follow any guidelines/rules you set, eating schedules, walking schedules, etc.
“Gina is amazing!! I cannot say enough positive things. Our wild little kitten had just gotten his cast off after recovering from a bad broken leg and was barely putting weight on it. I was in a panic having to leave town unexpectedly and she put my mind at ease and took care of him like her own. She gave him his meds, spoon fed him his food as he was struggling to eat in his cone and kept him out of trouble, which isn’t an easy task. Gina truly went above and beyond and we are very grateful.”
“Lillian did a great job taking care of my kitties while I was away for a long weekend. She was very thorough with implementing their feeding schedules. One of my cats is fearful of new people and takes time to warm up. Lillian was patient with her and didn't force her to interact with her when she came to visit if she wasn't interested. Her communication while I was gone was great and I knew I could reach out to her if I had any questions or concerns.”
“Alexandra returned for 2 drop in visits. She is very prompt with her notifications of arrival, departure and visit summaries. Her responsibleness and TLC for Rory definitely allow me to be worry free when away from home.”
“Ande did an amazing job with Jax. He can be stubborn and anxious around new ppl and she was very kind and patient with him. She took lots of pictures so I knew he was happy and in good hands. We will definitely use her again!”
“Destany was amazing with our two kitties, she communicated well with us, and was able to help when we had to add an additional medication for one of our cats during the trip. I would definitely recommend her and will book with her again in the future!”

Africa pet parents share their Rover experiences
Lillian did a wonderful job. I did not have to worry one bit while I was on vacation, which is incredible. She went the extra mile with my cat who has IBS who broke into my bedroom and poo poo’d on my bed. She communicated with me the entire trip. I will use Lillian again.
I cannot recommend Coleman enough! He took amazing care of my cat during my three week trip and went above and beyond to make sure I felt comfortable the entire time. He kept me updated with pictures and videos, and clearly gave my cat so much love and attention. I would absolutely book Coleman again and highly recommend him! Thank you so much!!!!
