“Madison is the best cat sitter we have ever had! She came over a few days beforehand to meet the cats and get all of the information needed. During our time away, she was above and beyond with the communication and sent several pictures from each visit. And the cats loved her! If and when we need a sitter again, we will definitely be going with Madison - 10/10 experience!”
“I’ve used a few different sitters on Rover before and have had great experiences, but Brett truly went above and beyond. He sent tons of pictures during each drop-in with the cutest (and funniest) commentary, which made being away so much easier. He even made friends with my cat who normally hides from strangers — I was shocked! He was also extra gentle and loving with my senior dog, which meant so much to me. It’s clear he genuinely cares. I would absolutely book him again and highly recommend him.”
“Sarah is wonderful! She is really great with our girls. Especially our senior cat, who is at the end of her life! She is thorough and asks a lot of questions, to ensure the best care for our babies! Thank you Sarah!! 😊”
“Aaliyah was great with my Beau. He’s very passionate about his pool time and Aaliyah made him a happy boy by playing fetch with him in the pool. She was very communicative which I really appreciate.”
“Helena did a wonderful job taking care of my two cats. She is dedicated to making sure all aspects of their needs are met and she goes the extra mile. I especially appreciate the time she spent getting to know both of them. I have a very shy one and she was able to interact with him much more than I expected. She is also a great communicator. I definitely recommend her!”
“Savannah took great care of our cat and dog while we were out of town. It was our first time hiring someone to drop in and we were a little nervous about the whole idea. Savannah immediately put those concerns at ease. She has a really good energy with animals and our girls knew it right away. Highly recommended!”
“Kaci is so amazing in every way, I can tell she really cares about my home and all my babies well-being. It's so nice to not have to worry about my senior cat that needs medication. She will be my go-to for every sitting job for as long as she'll have me!”
“Hannah is amazing. She took such good care of our dog while we were away on vacation. She communicates promptly and was right on time for every single visit. We will definitely use her again.”
“Annmarie was fabulous! I would use her again! She is thoughtful and caring about your pet. Sent pictures and you can tell she cares for your family pet kindly. So glad to have found her!!! Thank you”
“Once again Deidre did an amazing job with my two hoodlums. She worked through their various quirks to ensure they had time outside their kennels on a day I was away from home.”
“Jerrie wad the best. Always attentive to Mike's needs as well as keeping me updated with pics and messages of how things were going. I have recommended her to my friends and family.”
“Melanie did a great job taking care of my very unfriendly cat Daisy! She sent lots of pictures & updates, which I enjoyed getting. Melanie brought my mail in & took my garbage out to the curb for pick up too. She went above & beyond! I am so happy to have found her to take care of Daisy when I am gone!”
“Jed was very professional and helpful with our pups. He kept us updated on the status of them when he went over to let them out. Thank you so much for the help.”
Bigelow Highlands pet parents share their Rover experiences
My husband and I had planned and booked a 2 week bucket list trip to Peru and were set to leave in 7 weeks. We had arranged our normal pet sitter that we’ve used for years to come and take care of our (almost) 15 year old cat, Mr. Christmas. It was around that time that Mr. Christmas stopped eating. Mr. Christmas had no real health conditions, no meds…and he was declining fast. After extensive testing, imaging, and seeing a specialist, he was diagnosed with either IBD or cancer and was going to need a lot of follow up. He was on multiple oral medications and he still wasn’t eating great. I couldn’t leave him in the house with someone who can only come see him once a day. He needed more support and our normal pet sitter couldn’t provide that for him. I was fully prepared to cancel the trip, but thought I’d go on Rover to see if anyone could match what we were looking for and if anyone would be willing to do what we were asking. We needed three, hour-long visits daily, forcing food at him, weighing him, and administering multiple daily medications. I found Melanie explaining what I was looking for, and I was really impressed that she was up early at 4:30am to message me. Melanie communicated with me each week leading up to our trip. We initially didn’t have a diagnosis and I needed vet clearance to leave him. Melanie asked many questions, and when we finally were told that he was stable enough to leave, she came over to our house with a list of questions to go over with us. He’s got a bit…a lot…of an attitude. She made sure that she didn’t approach him and waited for him to come to her. She was so thoughtful about every detail of their interaction in front of us. My husband and I both felt that even though she is a stranger to us, there was something calming about her and she was very professional. We knew Mr. Christmas would be okay, but I wasn’t expecting him to thrive the way that he did. Melanie never missed a visit. She never asked for anything from me. She communicated with me daily throughout the two weeks. She braved picking him up to put him on the scale multiple times. Mr. Christmas gained weight with Melanie. He wasn’t gaining weight with me at home, but she is just that good. Pictures of Mr. Christmas started with him sleeping alone, and then he got closer and closer to her on the couch. He even started inviting her to watch him in the litter box (I’m mortified), but he only does this with “his people”. Our dog came to visit at home a few days to see Mr. Christmas (they are besties), and Melanie had no problem cuddling our dog while visiting Mr. Christmas. To describe Melanie in one or two words, I would say she is easygoing and pays great attention to detail. She makes everything seem easy and carefree, and my anxiety really appreciated that on this trip. I got home from 15 days away from him, and he is this thick ball of fluffy happiness. He was WELL taken care of. We could have never gone on this trip without Melanie. She is a true gem and I will be referring anyone and everyone I know to her. Love, Ben, Jen, Mr. Christmas, and “his dog” Ruby.
Madison is an absolutely wonderful pet sitter. She took such great care of our cat Lily. She kept us informed every day while we were out of town with updates and pictures for every drop-in. She really put me at ease, knowing our cat was well loved while we were gone. She is very kind and trustworthy and I would definitely have her back again!
Vanessa told fantastic care of our dogs when we were out of the country. She took FANTASTIC photos of them and sent daily updates so we felt very reassured they were in good hands while we were gone! AND our dogs put her through so much drama and she just let it roll off, no big deal! Vanessa is a saint!
Lizzy was an outstanding dog sitter! She took amazing care of my dogs and kept me updated on everything and sent lots of photos! My dogs were super happy to see her highly recommend her as a dog sitter! She even helped with issues involving my fire alarm and stayed for my maintenance people to try and fix it couldn’t have picked a better dog sitter!
This is my second time booking with Matthew for a 5 day trip, and I’m equally as thrilled with his service as the first time. My dog absolutely loves him, and I really appreciate his daily photos and quick recap. He even alerted me to a potential hazard and resolved it right away. I know my dog will be safe, entertained, and loved on when he drops in!
Kate did a terrific job and took excellent care of our pets. She went above and beyond what was expected and took the time to bring in a couple packages that were delivered while we were gone and vacuumed up some kitty litter spillage. We would hire her again in a heartbeat and will recommend her to family and friends.
