“Kristen did an absolutely wonderful job house sitting with my 2 high-energy kittens and my grumpy senior cat over a 3-day period. She introduced herself gently and calmly to each cat during our meet and greet and listened to their queues, asked good questions, and was friendly and enthusiastic. When we were on our trip, she sent frequent pictures and updates, talked about when the cats were eating, and gave my old sick cat her medicine. I can tell from the pics that all of the cats liked Kristen and she was playing with the kittens, and the old cat was letting Kristen pet her and letting her know when she was hungry. I really can't recommend her enough, and would be happy to hire her again!”
“Michael was absolutely wonderful with my dog. He provided daily pictures, feedback on how he was doing, and cared for him like his own fur baby. Will for sure book again!”
“Brittney and Megan were absolute angels!! From the moment I booked with them, they went above and beyond—checking in with me every day, sending the cutest, most beautiful photos of my babies, and most importantly, loving them like their own. 🥹💛 Knowing they were safe, snuggled, and genuinely cared for brought my anxiety down more than I can say. I could feel the warmth and peace they created in my absence. I will never be able to thank them enough—and I wouldn’t hesitate to book them again in a heartbeat. Truly the dream team. 💫🐾✨”
“Rene gets as almost much love and happiness when she comes as I do. The house is as I left it. Her pictures and up dates are super and reduce all anxiety. After years of not leaving my senior girl, I can now go away with no worries about her care.”
“I don’t know if you’re able to review a person more than once. But I had Andrhu coming for drop in visits during my long work hours because he lives just a few blocks away. I noticed my cat who is 15 took to him right away and he paid attention to my very *particular* requests about her care. Not only did I have a significant increase in my cats level of calmness - but literally at the LAST minute I saw that the sitter I use when I’m out of town had left my cat alone for almost 24 hours. Then pushed he out of bed when the cat tried to ask for minimal attention. To say I was crushed was an understatement. I was in complete tears. I have a lot going on and am kind of a single pet parent until my husband can join me in the USA. Andrhu AGAIN was a god send. One one days notice I let the other sitter go home for personal reasons and Andrhu agreed to stay - he was with her most all day every day. I came home today, my cat happy, playing with a ball at 15 years old. And now I am comfortable purchasing a kitten to make her (and I) even happier. Knowing I have Andrhu close by - he’s SO flexible. He’s honest and communicates expectations clearly which I appreciate and respect. The amount of guilt I carry about leaving her is at a zero. Down from about 200 on my last vacation. And now with our new addition coming - I consider Andrhu to be part of my cat tribe to make sure they’re all ok. I don’t want him to get completely booked (selfishly). But this is the relationship I needed for my sweet girl until my husband is allowed to live here - and for every vacation after. I highly recommend treating him with utmost respect. I have a guest set of linens, towels and hope Andrhu will help himself to anything food or drink in my home. At this point my home is him home and even if we haven’t met he is cat-family. Hire him whenever you can. The compassion he shows to even old pets it unmatched. I’m almost crying tears of joy from having my anxiety so much reduced in this difficult time in my life.”
“Archie LOVES Lauren ◡̈ I had to go into the office all day and so I hired her to watch Archie while I was gone they played almost the whole time! She sent me pictures and videos throughout which made me feel at ease so I could focus on work! Archie is a high energy dog and she was able to handle him with ease! Showed up on time and understood everything she needed to know ◡̈ Highly recommend and will definitely use her in the future! ◡̈”
“Mandi house sit while taking care of our 2 Boston Terriers. She was very respectful of the house and left it cleaner than when she arrived. One of our dogs can be fairly high maintenance and Mandi was able to adjust quickly and the dogs were very comfortable. We would definitely hire Mandi again.”
“Kritika is such a wonderful pet sitter! Kritika recently watched our two kitties while we were out of town and as usual was fantastic. She took the time to play with them, fed them their favorite treats, and sent lovely thoughtful updates to let us know how they were doing. Our cats love Kritika and we are very grateful for the care she provides!”
“Krista was amazing while house sitting my dogs and cats! She did great looking after the animals and left the house in perfect condition, she even washed the bedding! Highly recommend her services.”
“Morgan is amazing! She took great care of our dogs and our home while we were away for a week. Morgan was responsive to messages and sent daily pictures to let us know how our pups were doing. I would highly recommend her services and will be using her again in the future.”
“Sarah did a great job with the dogs while we were gone. The house was in good order and the dogs happy when we got back. Sarah even messaged us that the irrigation system had a problem and we talked her through the fix.”
About: I have been cat sitting in my neighborhood for well over seven years (since I was 11) and am well versed in caring for cats of all ages from kitten to senior. I currently go to university full time, so my schedule varies day to day based on classes. Until mid June I am busy Monday, Wednesday, and Friday from 9:00-3:30, but otherwise I am very flexible! I have a cat and a dog at home, having my cat for fifteen years and my dog for five, so I'm accustomed to caring for both. I am specifically good at caring for senior animals who may need special feeding schedules, medication, etc.

Charlotte was an amazing dog sitter who stayed in our home while we were away. She went above and beyond, feeding our fish, watering our plants, and making sure everything was perfect when we returned. Her communication was outstanding, with daily updates and pictures that gave us total peace of mind. Charlotte is trustworthy, friendly, and someone we would highly recommend to anyone looking for exceptional pet care!
Joanne was great. We booked her last minute when our usual dog sitter cancelled last minute. This was our first time using Rover and were a bit skeptical about letting a stranger in our home. She was flexible, a great communicator, and took great care of our fur baby and home. She even offered to come back the next morning if our flight plans changed. I will definitely reach out to Joanne again in the future and highly recommend her to care for your pets and home.
Christine is a fantastic pet sitter. We have never had an overnight sitter but needed one and she came highly recommended for good reason. Our dogs and cat clearly love her, we received plenty of photos and our house was immaculate when we returned (maybe better than we left it). Best of all our pets were happy and healthy and had clearly been well cared for in our absence. Thank you Christine!
Shay is literally a God send. We have 5 pets, one of which is special needs and another who is highly anxious/reactive- and she barely batted an eye. She cares and spends the time and effort learning your pets' needs, however big or small. We have had such a difficult time finding the right person for our pets, but she has finally given us the help we need. Additionally, she is punctual (which we have noticed is a challenge for a lot of sitters on this app), communicative, and very calm- which helps our anxious dog so much! HIGHLY recommend.
