“Ameera was fantastic! I looked forward to her cute reports, which felt like little stories from the day. Through the pictures and videos she sent, I could tell my cat was truly happy playing with her. It gave me such peace of mind while traveling. Exceptional care for the furry ones ✨”
“Aimee was amazing. We were a bit hesitant, as we've never used Rover before, but she was so welcoming and helpful. She came on-time, every time, and cared for our dog. We will definitely use her again!”
“Riley is amazing. She took such great care of our dogs. Very detailed and thoughtful. She’s exactly what you want out of a dog walker, if not more.”
“Brittany was great and Kramer loved her!! She was also so helpful with Kramer’s special instructions (since she was just spayed)! We will definitely use Brittany again!”
“Sreya was wonderful. She's a good communicator, is on time, and was great with my noisy, rambunctious crew. Thank you!”
“Absolutely excellent. We went on a long trip to Asia and the biggest thing for me was that I could actually enjoy my trip because I knew they were in great hands. She walked our dog daily in addition to playing with her outside in the backyard and really helped get her energy out and quality time. She was patient and kind with our cats and did an excellent job in finding ways to get them to take their medicine (3 of the 4 cats take medication). She cleaned our house throughout the stay but did a final clean on the day we got back and that was such a huge plus for us. It was nice coming home to happy animals and a clean house in order. So happy we found Tara and can’t wait to have her pet sit again.”
“Maria was wonderful to work with! Super communicative and had no problem with administering pills for our Junie. It’s so nice to feel 100% confident that your cat will be well cared for while you’re away. Hire Maria!”
“Iryna was an excellent cat sitter! I really appreciated how thorough her updates were and how much care she showed for my cat. Iryna even went above and beyond and offered to water my plants which was amazing! I would absolutely book with her again!”
“Melissa was above and beyond!! She provided the BEST care for my anxious doggie, sent so many pictures and communicated so much. I felt completely at ease pup was in the best hands! I can’t thank Melissa enough and look foreword to using her services again :)”
“Paul was responsive and incredibly communicative. I needed to take a last-minute international trip. Within a few hours, we were able to schedule a time for Paul to take care of Clementine. I am definitely using his services again the next time I have to travel.”
“Ethan was great! We loved receiving the pictures of our cat while we were away, and it was clear that she really enjoyed Ethan's visits. We would definitely book with him again.”
“Jackie is SO SO great. This is our second time booking with her and she really does take the best care of our orange menace kitty. She gives amazing updates, makes sure that our boy is settled before she leaves and sends awesome pictures. Would rebook 100x!”
“Simone was great! She was right on time, did all the little things we asked of her, and most importantly, played a lot with our very energetic pup! She also provided lots of fun pics and videos.”
About: I love hanging out with both dogs and cats and have experience with both! I have practice with giving dogs medicine and can walk or check in on your pet(s) any day of the week, rain or shine! I'm on summer break and am happy to help any day of the week. I have very few time constraints and I am very flexible. I usually go about pet care tasks first and play with/walk/let out pets second. I avoid bothering pets unless they're particularly friendly or asking for attention so I don't stress them out.
“Whitney was so helpful and we knew Josie was in great hands while we were away. She was very communicative and we got great updates. Thanks Whitney!!!”
“My cat Hannah was well taken care of and in good hands while I was away! Lisa gave great drop-in visits and left Rover cards to keep me updated. Thanks for a reliable service!”
“Aly has consistently showed up for us when we need her most! She treats our pup well and is thorough in her reports for how our dog is doing. We appreciate her so much & recommend highly!”
About: I’ve loved dogs my whole life and have raised mine from puppies. I’ve also happily walked, house-sat for, and boarded friends’ dogs in times when I didn’t have one of my own. I’m planning a career transition and will be working on a personal creative project, so I will have a flexible schedule to respond to pet parents’ needs during busy work days. Regular walks are important for a happy and healthy pup! When I walk my own dog, I follow routes that will keep us both safe and am always careful in any interactions with other dogs, especially if we don’t know them. I’d do the same for your pet and abide by any specific instructions you might have!
“Shereen went above and beyond on all her visits, from the first check in it was clear that she really cared about our cat. She quickly learned the “quirks” (bad attitude) of our Evelyn and did everything she could to make her happy and comfortable.”

Ashton Heights pet parents share their Rover experiences
Lauren continues to be a fantastic pet sitter! My normally shy cat is nothing but cuddles for her. As Charlie recently lost his best friend, she makes sure to give him extra love so he’s less anxious while I’m away.
Adina is wonderful - she did a great job taking care of my furry babies, and they love her! She’s extremely pleasant to deal with and very communicative. Will definitely be booking with Adina again!
Amanda goes above and beyond with our senior cat and I would highly recommend her as an adept and caring sitter!
This was our second time booking Kelly, and we came home to a very happy senior cat! Kelly is quick to respond, wonderful with our fur baby, and great at tidying up messes he inevitably makes. We will be rebooking her for our next trip!
Lily was wonderful! I can tell our cat loved her because when we came back from vacation, he hadn’t missed us much :) Thanks for all your help, Lily. Looking forward to working together again…
Laurie did a great job checking in on our cats while we were out of town. She was timely and provided appreciated updates and pictures of the kitties enjoying their time with her, or rather demanding her attention for pets. She also was responsive and asked clarifying questions and took notes during her meet and greet, clearly very organized and with attention to details. Would definitely have her check in on the kitties again!
Morgan is such a delight to have come visit Gemma. Great communication, Gemma loves her cuddles and I feel such peace of mind when Morgan is watching her.
Shannon is wonderful! So easy to coordinate with and Gemma loves having her visit. Thank you for everything Shannon!
This was my first time booking Yessenia and I am very pleased. My building is strict with guest access and we ran into an issue due to holiday hours of the concierge desk, but Yessenia promptly contacted me and was patient in finding a solution together. She connected well with my shy little kittens and sent me updates daily. I will definitely be booking her again as it is clear she is a professional. Thank you Yessenia for taking such great care of my babies ❤️
Lauren was great for drop-in sitting for our cat while we were away on vacation. She was communicative, reliable, and she sent a lot of photos and details of her visits with our cat. One of the best we’ve had, definitely recommend!
Ian is a natural! First visit was a big success. He knew exactly how to handle our anxious Shepherd Lab rescue.
Sarah was awesome - she was available for coverage during a holiday weekend and made time to play with the kitties. Great care for our pets and peace of mind while we were away!
Mari did a phenomenal job watching our boys over the holiday weekend! She came over prior for a meet and greet and you can just tell she is great with animals. Would definitely book again!!
Mei Ling was fantastic - she went above and beyond by taking care of a few tasks in my week-long absence and I felt very comfortable with her being in my apartment. She also takes amazing pictures!
Olga did an awesome job taking care of our fur babies! She spent plenty of time playing with them, which they loved.
Juliette was excellent and even made friends with our very skittish cat! We will definitely hire her again!
Simone is wonderful with cats. Our kitty can be grumpy around new people but he seemed to warm right up to her very quickly. She is a great communicator and gave us great updates while we were on vacation. It was a truly stress free experience. I would definitely recommend Simone for anyone who is looking to have their pet taken care of .
Riley is amazing! She takes such great care of our cats and always leaves detailed Rover cards with thoughtful updates and tons of adorable photos. She even brings in our mail and keeps us informed about anything going on in the house, which we really appreciate. It's clear our cats absolutely love her. She makes being away from them so much easier. We know they're in safe, loving hands. Super communicative, punctual, and just all around wonderful!
