Veronica was very dedicated, always responded promptly and very easy to work with. I am quite anxious when leaving my cat under someone’s care but after meeting Veronica I felt reassured and comfortable that my kitty will be in good hands. Thank you Veronica for being available to help me.

Melody and her mom were amazing! Professional and conscientious from our very first meeting. We came home to happy cats and a clean, litter free floor. Melody kept us updated with pictures and information about each visit every day. I'm rebooking her for our next trip right now!

I love working with Charlene, because she is professional, responsible and provides high quality service every time! Whether it’s one cat or seven, friendly or shy, low maintenance or requiring tricky daily medication - I can relax knowing that my furry companions will be well taken care of while I’m away. Thank you, Charlene!

About: Dogs make my heart happy, and so do cats! :) I loved the times that I got to spend and care for my beloved Moki who went to heaven in Dec. 2023. I miss her every single day. I work as a substitute teacher and painting instructor, which provides me with a flexible schedule to pursue my hobbies and interests. One of my passions in life is dogs. I volunteer with Pets in Need by participating in their Doggy Day Out program. Back in high school, I was voted Most Dependable, and I believe I still hold that title dear to heart whether it's with family, work, friends, and clients. I would do my best to make sure your furry best friend gets lots of pets, play, and potty breaks. :) My schedule is pretty flexible since I work as a substitute teacher and painting instructor. I can easily block off dates so that I can be available. In the summer time, I also work as a summer camp art counselor. I have updated my schedule with the dates that I’m available. :) I know what it's like to have someone reliable and trustworthy to care for your furry best friend. I know that you can depend on me because I will love and care for your pet as if she/he's my own.

Aixia is wonderful with our two cats- 9 and 10 years old. One of them is extremely shy and timid— and he was out greeting and playing with her so quickly we could hardly believe it! She took extra care in all the ways and sent such good photos and updates that we had complete peace of mind while away. Thank you so much for loving our babies the same as we do!

Myat has done a great job on her drop in visits of my scaredy cat Hidee while I was away for 2 weeks. My cat even came out once while she was there, which is quite unusual. Myat is friendly, considerate and very easy to communicate with. Is very attentive and immediately reaches out to me for possible concerns and is very quick to respond. After each of her visits,I received detailed updates including tasks that were done and photos of them and my cat. I felt at ease with her caring for my cat. Overall a great experience! I highly recommend Myat and will definitely be seeking her services again in the future!

About: Hello! I’m Olivia. I’ve been around animals my whole life and grew up with family dogs starting when I was in kindergarten. In the summer 2023, I adopted my own cat, which made me appreciate even more how important it is to find someone trustworthy and caring to look after your pets. I work part-time and am a college student, however I can always make time for lovely animals! Even with a busier schedule, I am still able to: * Overnight pet and house sit * Walk your dogs * Daily drop-in visits/check-ins * Keep up with feeding routines and fresh water * Litter box cleaning and basic cleanup * Give lots of attention, playtime, and companionship I am willing to discuss and bargain on prices, and we can discuss my availability further as well! Don’t be shy to message and let me know what you’re looking for. I understand that every pet has a different personality and routine, and I try to make them feel as comfortable and stress-free as possible while you’re away. Whether your pet is energetic and playful or shy and needs patience, I’m happy to adapt to what they need. I also know how important communication is for pet parents, so I’m always happy to send updates and photos while you’re away. I’ll treat your pets and your home with the same care and respect I would want for my own!

About: Growing up , I was always surrounded by dogs, and their companionship became a constant source of joy and learning. I've had a female Shih Tzu at home for 12 years, and our bond is a true testament to the love and trust that dogs offer. Caring for her, especially as she grows older, has taught me the value of patience, empathy, and unconditional love—qualities that I carry with me in all aspects of life. Over the years, my experiences with dogs—both as a pet owner and a caretaker—have equipped me with a deep understanding of their needs, from playful puppies to senior dogs needing extra care. I believe in creating a comfortable, safe, and nurturing environment for pets, and I take the time to ensure that each dog feels loved and cared for, whether it’s through playtime, walks, or simply giving them attention and affection. What sets me apart from other sitters is my lifelong bond with dogs and my ability to adapt to their unique needs at different stages of life. I’m particularly skilled in handling senior dogs and providing them with the gentle care they need. Additionally, I have experience training puppies, teaching them basic commands, and helping with housebreaking. Whether your dog needs a little extra care or a playful buddy, I’m here to provide a warm and welcoming environment, just like home. Since I work from home, I have the flexibility to give my full attention to both my dog and any additional pets in my care. I can easily incorporate regular walks, playtime, and feeding into my daily routine, ensuring every dog gets the love and care they need. Whether it's a playful pup or a senior dog needing extra care, I'm always available to provide a comfortable, home-like environment. I care for pets in my home by providing a safe, comfortable environment with plenty of space to roam. We have a fenced yard where dogs can play and relax, and our neighborhood is calm and secure, perfect for easy, stress-free walks. Plus, there's a park nearby where I can take dogs for extra exercise and fun. Whether at home or on a walk, I ensure pets feel comfortable, loved, and well-cared for throughout their stay.

She also went above and beyond and cleaned his food mat and left a very cute picture of him for when I got back. Will definitely be booking her again and highly recommend you do too

Suzie was a tremendous help with my senior CKD cat, Molly, during two home subcutaneous fluid sessions. On the first day, I took the lead and Suzie assisted with line priming, valve operation, and helping keep Molly comfortable and still during the procedure. On the second day, Suzie took the lead and successfully performed the needle insertion and fluid administration while I assisted with positioning Molly, valve operation, and fluid flow. Molly's care requires patience, teamwork, attention to detail, and a calm approach. Suzie was reliable, professional, gentle with Molly, and adaptable when our roles changed from one day to the next. On the day Suzie took the lead, Molly received her full fluid treatment with no observed leakage, and Molly remained comfortable, mobile, and relaxed afterward. I would gladly work with Suzie again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for dependable help with a pet who has ongoing medical needs.

She is extremely communicative and always provides thoughtful updates and helpful feedback. The pictures she sends are great and truly capture how happy my puppy is in her care. She is very trustworthy, dependable, and it clearly shows that she genuinely cares about the dogs she looks after. She often goes above and beyond, which I truly appreciate. I will definitely be using her again in the future, and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for reliable and compassionate care for their puppy.

This was my first time using Rover and after meet and greets, I chose RJ to come care for my dog, Wyatt. RJ’s communication and pet sitting care are superb. Wyatt is a special needs dog because of his elbow dysplasia, so he needs specific care. RJ followed my instructions and he asked relevant questions when in doubt. He took pictures and videos which gave me assurance that all was well while I was gone and that Wyatt was happy. I will definitely reschedule RJ to care for Wyatt again. Thank you, RJ!

We had an amazing experience with our Rover sitter while we were away for a week. She took wonderful care of our two cats, Rudy and Sebastian, and handled Rudy’s twice-daily medication with total confidence and care. What really stood out was her flexibility and reliability—when our return flights were unexpectedly canceled due to weather, she was able to add two short-notice visits without hesitation, which gave us so much peace of mind. Communication was great throughout, and the photo updates were adorable—we loved getting such cute pictures of the cats while we were away. It was clear our cats were in excellent hands. We’re incredibly grateful and wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again. Highly recommend!
