“Stacey was a wonderful cat sitter while we were out of town. It was our first time using Rover and couldn’t have gone smoother. Stacey was great with communication and sent us regular updates and pictures.”
“Ariana rocks. She is always quick to respond, and provide updates throughout the visit. We have worked with her on our last two trips and will be reaching out for future trips.”
“Elisabeth took fantastic care of our cats. She is incredibly knowledgeable about taking care of animals and we could not recommend her enough! Will definitely be booking again in the future.”
“Kelsey did such an amazing job with our cat! Like most cats he needs a little time to warm up and she was so patient with him. He was loving all the playtime he got and by the end even crawled into her lap for attention. Her updates and pictures were detailed and we were able to enjoy our trip knowing our cat was happy, healthy, and enjoying time with Kelsey. The next time we need a sitter we'll definitely be booking with her again!”
About: There hasn't been a time in my life that hasn't had multiple pets in it. I have worked on farms and in a vet hospital and the joy of making an animal happy never goes away. I currently have 2 small dogs and 3 cats, the oldest being 20 years old. I would love the opportunity to help you care for your animals. i work remote and therefore have the ability to schedule my work around the needs of any animals I might be taking care of while their humans are away! Having a dog with behavioral issues for years taught me a great deal about how to work with and understand dogs better. Each animal is unique but I find that with enough patience and scritches you can make most tails wag.
“She is so perfect for all pets. I have dogs of all sizes and personalities and she handles them all with care. I absolutely love her and she will always be my go to whenever I need a sitter. I got new photos and constant updates while I was at work I knew they were at home having so much fun!!!! Thank You!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“Elizabeth followed care directions completely. She was very respectful and helpful. Will definitely use again in the future and recommened to others.”
“Gretchen took amazing care of my cat, Dory, while I was away for 5 days! I got updates and photos after every visit, which gave me so much peace of mind. She went above and beyond with the litter box, fresh water, driving to me, and taking the trash out before I got home. Couldn’t have asked for better care. Highly recommend!”
“Emma was fabulous in taking care of my boys! She was even able to get my stubborn kitty to take more of his meds than I could, no small feat. She was great about providing updates and following complex care instructions.”
“An amazing sitter! She went above and beyond for us. So thankful for her and being able to drop in last minute for us. I would recommend to anyone. She handled our crazy pups so well.”
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was a little girl. Growing up, my family always had at least one dog in the house, and I would usually convince them to get more! I’m always asked to pet sit by family and friends as my love for animals is known by all. Since I’ve moved into my own apartment, I’ve volunteered at the SPCA and have fostered multiple dogs! I always need to have dog interaction in my life, so since I’m not quite ready to adopt, I take care of shelter pups or other people’s dogs when they need the help! I am currently an undergraduate student at University at Buffalo. I have a fairly flexible schedule as all my classes are on Tuesdays and Thursdays, giving me a generous amount of free time during the remaining days of the week. I currently live in an apartment with no dog of my own, however, I grew up in a house that always had a dog. I still consider my mom’s dogs my own, and visit them quite frequently. I’m the type to sit down and spend lots of quality one on one time with a pup. I never get tired of playing and would love to go on long walks around the neighborhood. I am also a sucker for spoiling dogs with treats :)
“I wish I could give more than 5 stars! Sarah is professional and responsible, and she truly is a miracle worker. My cats were incredibly well-loved and cared for, plus she took the time to give special attention to my one cat that suffers from anxiety!”
“Rachael did an awesome job. Between quick communication and taking great care of my cat Tinkerbell at my home, I would highly recommend her. She answered any and all questions timely and sent pictures every day. Thank you Rachael!”
“I have used rover a few times with different sitters and while they have been great, Jenna was exceptional! Great communication and sent so many pictures and videos of not only the cats, but also updates on the tasks she was doing (refilling water bowls/cleaning litter). At no point was I worried that she was not genuinely invested in my cats' care (and even our shyer girl seemed to warm up to her very quick). I would 100% recommend working with her.”
“It was a wonderful experience to have Lana look over our three cats. She very quickly became friends with all three even two that are normally very reserved with new people. She went above and beyond with live updates, photos and videos. Made me feel totally happy that the fellas were in good hands while we were away. Would ? recommend Lana to anyone needing Roger services. I totally love this app/service and how it can connect you with people like Lana who are so good with our furry friends. ?”
About: I have raised two dogs (one large bread and one small bread) both from puppy to 16 & 17yrs old. I have had three cats (one still residing with me). Currently I dog sit two fur babies since 2020. In a week I am losing one of my buddies due to his parents relocating. I am already missing him and am hoping to make some new walking and cuddling partners. I work part time on weekends but can sit with advanced notice. Monday til Wednesday I am available for anytime on shorter notice. When I have your furry sweetheart I do not leave them by themselves at all,so I like to schedule when there is nothing to conflict with the time I have them. When in my house they have no restrictions from me, only what the parent wants. I have an outside bathroom area on leash for quick bathroom trips. I like to go for at least one or two long walks per day, weather permitting and your dogs abilities. I live in a walkable neighborhood and close to parks. When at your house I will follow whatever routine your partner is used to.
About: I have been cat sitting for neighbors and friends since I was in middle school, and have been a cat mom myself since 2018. My fiancé and I currently own a bonded pair, Evan and Orangey, whom we adopted from West Side Cat Rescue. They have both had a myriad of health issues, both acute and chronic. Orangey is FIV+ with chronic stomatitis, requiring daily medication. I am very comfortable administering all kinds of medications if needed, including SubQ or IM injections. I am a nurse, currently working in the clinic setting as a high risk OBGYN nurse. I have experience in med-surg and labor & delivery as well. I own and am familiar with Litter Robots, as well as classic litter boxes. I feed my cats wet food, and can put together any specific meal plans needed for your babies! I work weekdays, 8am-5pm, and am off on weekends. I can do in-home cat sitting or drop in visits any days of the week. For drop in visits, I can stop by in the morning before work, during my lunch break (location dependent), and after work! I am very attentive to pet safety as well as household security. I will be diligent in ensuring all doors/exits are closed when I am in the home and after I leave, to deter any escape artists. I will stay with your cats while they are eating (if I am giving them a set time meal) to watch for any eating issues or choking. I will use only toys approved by the owner and will follow your instructions on any pet handling. I will send any and all photos and videos of your babies you request!

Marine did a great job taking care of Chidi, who I know can have his behavior quirks and difficulties! She was very responsive and a pleasure to work with- I trusted that Chidi was in good hands when I had to take a last minute trip out of town. I received lots of pictures and Chidi looked like he had a great time. I would definitely have her care for Chidi again and recommend her to anyone looking for A+ cat care!
Jessica was absolutely fantastic. She was prompt and on time for each visit. She came over before she was scheduled to allow us to show her where things were and how to give our cats meds. Took plenty of pictures for us to let us know our cats were okay. This was the first time we had left our cats alone since one of them was diagnosed with a congenital heart disease. The peace of mind she gave us can not be overstated. Also, she was very understanding when we had to change the schedule last minute. Thank you so much!
Gabby was amazing! She met with me beforehand to have an initial meeting with my cat Muse to learn about her care and sent me many cute pictures of Muse while I was away! Definitely will be contacting Gabby again in the future when I need a sitter. Thank you Gabby!
