“We have hired Paul for visiting our two cats numerous times and he always provides great care. Prior to hiring him for our latest vacation, one of our cats had developed separation anxiety. We asked Paul to keep an eye out for excessive grooming which he did. During a visit early on, he noticed that this cat took a liking to his jacket and napped on it during the visit. Paul left his jacket for the remainder of the visit thinking it might help, which it did. We think that is going above and beyond! We highly recommend Paul for your pet sitting needs. He wiIl truly keep your pet’s care at heart!”
“Very thorough and detailed communication. Lots of pictures and my kitties are very happy. She came through in a pinch, as I my trip was sort of a last second thing. When I got home, my cats were very pleased and I could tell they were loved. I’m definitely booking with her again for my next trip away from my furry family 🙏🏽💜”
“Alicia was amazing with our cats! We had just moved cross country last year and having a stranger take care of your animals can be scary, but from the meet and greet and drop in visits, Alicia was great!! She was very responsive to messages/ questions, had no issues with our alarm and always made sure to arm it, and always sent pictures of the cats and gave us great notes! If you are looking for someone to trust while you are away, I would really give Alicia a try!”
“Michelle was great care giver. my cat Luna warmed up and welcomed her. Her daily report was always immediate and right after her visit. Thank you, Michelle!!”
“Kaylee was so great! Our first time using Rover and leaving our nervous pup alone overnight. She took great care of her and all the kitty needs. We had some last minute hiccups and Kaylee was very accommodating to making changes. We will definitely book her again next time!”
“Always reassuring using Brenden to look after our dogs, taking them for walks, and giving them some love while we are away. Brenden always provides great photos and updates on how they are doing. Highly recommended!”
“Nakiah is the sweetest with our two cats! She’s been so great with them and they both love her. She’s extremely responsive and communicative. Highly recommend her for your furry babies :)”
“To anyone considering booking Josh, just do yourself a favor and do it right now! This was our first time using a pet sitter, and we were quite nervous about the process, but Josh was very kind throughout the journey. We were updated consistently throughout each check in. He was kind, patient, and caring with our dogs, and not only cared for our dogs but went above and beyond with helping us other ways in our house. We will definitely be rebooking him, and I know our dogs will be more than ecstatic to see him again!”
“Araceli is amazing! All my cats usually avoid strangers, but all of them came out at the very first visit for pets and treats. She was extremely responsive to messages, punctual, and highly communicative. We will absolutely be requesting her again for our future pet sitting needs!”
“Thank the universe for Rachel! She is super responsive and SUPER on top of everything! She went above and beyond for my two kitties and I’m so thankful.”
“sierra was really and truly a life saver!! we had a sitter cancel last minute (morning of our trip) and sierra managed to both reply to my desperate plea and accept our request to watch our two cats lol. even though we have a sometimes temperamental cat she agreed to try with him and he ended up behaving really well and even playing with her! would absolutely entrust our babies with her again. thank you for everything!!”
“Ashley was absolutely phenomenal caring for my pets while I was away for a week. Leaving your babies behind is never easy, but she made the entire experience stress-free. She was reliable, communicative, and clearly treated my pets as if they were her own (even when Figaro got a little spicy). Ashley kept me updated with messages and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was traveling. When I returned home, my pets were happy, relaxed, and well cared for, and everything was exactly as it should be. It’s obvious that Ashley genuinely loves animals and takes great pride in providing excellent care. I couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter, and I would trust her with my babies again in a heartbeat. I highly recommend Ashley to anyone looking for someone dependable, caring, and attentive to care for their pets!”
“She followed instructions appeared when she said she would and had zero problems my pets loved her and one of the things was when I noticed my dog was missing me in distressed on the security cams my Rover sitter did too and picked her up and hugged her and gave her support to cope.”
“Jay was great as always. Thanks so much for coming in on an extra day when we we realized we had messed up our reservation! Our cats love you and we're so happy we found you.”
“Perfect as always. As close to being back home as l will ever get while being out of town. Nikola always goes above and beyond and we won’t trust anyone else but her with our pup. We plan our trips around her schedule.”
“Shelby was so good with my cat Wesley! She took the time to meet me/wesley beforehand, was reliable, and sent lots of pictures while she was watching him. Will be using her again!”
“First time we have used the service. We had two small in a hotel room. We utilized Rover so that we could go out to dinner and to events in Las Vegas. We selected Drew and it was the best decision that we ever made. She was on time and had a very kind and warm attitude about her. The two dogs were immediately comfortable with her and we are extremely grateful for her ability to bond with the dogs and make them feel at ease when we left the hotel room. We hope to see her again one of these days when we return.”
“Karen has been so good to us! She has made me feel so much better about leaving my new puppy at home. She’s there to make sure that the puppy gets out to go potty and play for a while before I get home! She has helped me a lot. Thank you, Karen!”

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ JAY IS AN ABSOLUTE LEGEND. 💙 This was our first time leaving our four cats in someone else’s care, and as anxious cat parents, we were honestly nervous. The moment we met Jay, we knew our babies were in good hands—and somehow they exceeded every expectation we had. Not only did they take incredible care of Artemis, Luna, Gunther, and Tails, but they genuinely spent time with them, got to know their personalities, and kept us updated throughout our trip. We never once had to wonder if our cats were okay because Jay treated them like family. What really impressed us was their attention to detail. They noticed a possible issue with Artemis’s back/spine and took the time to mention it to us so we could bring it up at his next vet visit. That level of care goes far beyond simply showing up to feed pets—it’s the kind of attentiveness that every pet parent hopes for but rarely finds. Our trip itself was chaotic and stressful, but the one thing we never had to worry about was our cats. That peace of mind was priceless. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, communicative, compassionate, observant, and genuinely passionate about animals, stop scrolling and book Jay immediately. We’ll absolutely be booking with them again. In fact, I think our cats might be disappointed when it’s us walking through the door next time instead of Jay. 😂 Thank you for loving our babies like they were your own. We are endlessly grateful. 🌈🐱💙
Daniella is my go to sitter! She is amazing. My husband and I were on our honeymoon and a lot of random things were going wrong as it what seems to always happen LOL (everything out of Daniela’s control) and she problem solved every step of the way and tried her hardest to not have to involve us at all. She always goes above and beyond and is so sweet to my kitties!
Tyra was amazing! Knew how to handle an unexpected sickness with our dog and was so kind and stayed in constant communication with us. She sent plenty of pictures and truly went above and beyond! I will recommend her 1000 times over and will use her again in the future!
Callie did so good on her drop in visit with Kyle! It was our first time leaving our puppy alone with someone else and we were super nervous. But she did an amazing job watching Kyle. She sent pictures and her communication was perfect. I would definitely recommend Callie to watch over your pet and will be using her again! Already looking forward to her helping us out more the next few weeks.
