“Amazing! Devona stayed with my pup when i was away for a weekend. She kept me informed of everything, sent me photos daily, and was very quick to respond. I will definitely call her again for house sitting.”
“If I could give Nickolas 10 stars, I would! He was literally perfect. Very professional and an outstanding communicator. The whole time I was gone, he provided daily updates with pictures. I was anxious about leaving my Skye Sissy with anyone whom she didn't know, but she loved him from the minute he met her. I felt confident leaving, I did not worry because I know that she was in capable and loving hands. Bravo to Nickolas for simply being AWESOME!”
“Marie was wonderful and already feels like a part of our family after staying with our two Goldendoodles all weekend. She spent quality time with them and took amazing care of them. We are very thankful we found Marie and will absolutely have her back again!”
“Karen was fantastic. I think Sophie did not want me to come back from my trip because she got along with Karen so much. Karen was extremely responsible. She walked and played with Sophie all the time. She also took great care of my house!”
“Gabrielle was wonderful! Our Dog Liberty had so much fun with her, she even got her to walk on her leash and walks without pulling, which we can never do, so not only did she do a great job walking and taking care of her, she was teaching/training her as well! We got tons of pics and videos and updates and she left our house nice and clean when she was done! We will definitely be using her again and trust her anytime with our pup!”
“Thanya was absolutely wonderful! She took great care of Molly and sent lots of pictures / updates. She also noticed an issue with my dog that led me to make vet appointment and now Molly is on the path to healing. I highly recommend Thanya and hope to use her again.”
“Elba is the absolute best pet sitter!!!! We went away for vacation and needed around the clock care. Elba was very thorough with the instructions and information we gave her. She took care of our animals as if they were her own. She gave updates every single day and sent the best pictures. Our animals were so happy and loved while we were away. And Elba even went above and beyond when we had a tree branch from a neighboring yard fall during a storm and damage our fence. She kept me notified and sent pictures. I would absolutely recommend Elba for anyone who is looking for a trustworthy person to care for your pets! We will most definitely be using Elba in the future to take care of our fur babies!!!!!!!”
“Colleen is amazing! Not only did she take care of our dogs for two weeks while we were out of the country, she kept our house plants watered, and the house was nice and clean when we got back! We would love to have her take care of our two pups when we travel again! Thank you so much Colleen!”
“Makenna is the bomb! She not only made our two k-9 girls fall in love with her, she also changed the bed, cleaned the house and left us a wonderful unexpected surprise!!! She is also a classy dresser and a delightful person! Thank you Makenna, we will definitely ask you to stay again. Kathy and Michael”
“Kaia was wonderful with my pitbull Guillermo. He took to her immediately and loved his time with her. Guillermo can sometimes refuse to eat when he is upset and he had no issues with Kaia. She even made sure to put on his glowing collar for his walk after dark. Highly recommend and will be booking many overnight stays in my home with Kaia.”
About: Hi! My name is Jack :) I have spent the past several years working as a veterinary technician, caring for animals in a professional medical setting. I have experience with puppies, kittens, senior pets, and pets with medical needs. I love building trust with animals and helping them feel comfortable and secure. My goal is to provide the same level of care and attention that I would want for my own pets, so you can travel with confidence knowing they’re in good hands. 🐾 I strive to be flexible and accommodate your pet’s routine as closely as possible. Whether your pet needs morning, afternoon, evening, or overnight care, I will work with you to ensure their feeding, exercise, medication, and enrichment schedules are maintained. Consistency is important for both cats and dogs, and my goal is to keep their day-to-day routine familiar and stress-free while you’re away. I am happy to discuss your pet’s specific needs and create a care plan that works best for them. Your pet’s safety and well-being are my top priorities. As a veterinary technician with several years of experience, I am trained to recognize signs of illness, injury, or distress and respond appropriately. I provide a calm, patient, and low-stress environment tailored to each pet’s individual needs. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, senior, or requires medication, I will treat them with the same care and attention I give my own pets. You can expect reliable communication, regular updates, and peace of mind knowing your pet is being cared for by an experienced animal care professional.
“Logan was absolutely fantastic with our dogs! Leaving them behind is never easy, especially because they are highly active and each have their own unique personalities, but Logan made the entire experience stress-free. He gave them plenty of attention, kept up with their energy levels, and made sure they were well cared for while we were away. We loved receiving updates and could tell our pups were happy, comfortable, and in great hands. It’s clear that Logan genuinely cares about the animals he watches, and that peace of mind is priceless. We came home to happy dogs and a well-cared-for home. We highly recommend Logan to anyone looking for a reliable, trustworthy, and caring dog sitter. We would gladly have him watch our dogs again!”
“Jonathan did a wonderful job with our cat and dog while away for 2 weeks. It’s a big leap to entrust your fur babies while opening up your home to someone you just hired and met via Rover. Jonathan sent us sweet updates twice a day with pictures, and gave our pets their own staycation while we were away. We would hire him again with no hesitation.”
“Kris took exceptional care of my dog and allowed me to enjoy being out of town without worrying about his well being. She provided plenty of pics and videos and I know he was thrilled to have her there to play with.”
About: I specialize in behavioral therapy and have a degree in pre-med Psychology. I am a compassionate student who takes pride in her ability to care for a multitude of animals. I am always looking for ways to improve the lives of our others, and I understand that it can be difficult to balance personal wellness with that of our pets. I hope to meet you and your furry friend soon! I’m currently flexible with my academic schedule, as I don’t start internships for another year; so, I am available around the clock Monday-Friday at this time! I do prefer that you reach out at least 24 hours in advance if possible so I can ensure I complete the day’s tasks. :) I unfortunately cannot provide care to your furry friend in my home due to leasing policies; however, I will ensure that they are well taken care of in your home or walking environment.
Catalina pet parents share their Rover experiences
Logan was GREAT! He provided good communication with frequent updates and was super friendly. Most importantly, Scrappy loved him! Scrappy appreciates the company of people and Logan truly gave him that. Thank you for the service and keeping Scrappy good company.
I am thankful and grateful to Katarina. She stayed overnight with my three dogs for the weekend. She was reliable communicated well and sent pictures throught her stay. My dogs can be a handful but were relaxed and comfortable with her. Would recommend her and look forward to using her again.
I can’t even begin to stress just how amazing Taylor is, but I’ll give it a go. This was our first time ever using a non family member to watch our pup, who is a bit older and has some medical issues. It was our wedding week, so naturally we were stressed, but from day 1 Taylor was so communicative. Photos, updates, questions all throughout the day - it was incredible! The really big thing for us though, was just how she followed the schedule we left for her and nala to the minute! We will absolutely be using Taylor again!!!!
Robin was great! She arrived on time and took care of our precious pets! She kept us informed and took pictures of the pets, we could see they were enjoying themselves. This was our first time having a pet sitter to our home and Robin made us feel very comfortable and did an excellent job. We will definitely have her back again!
Kevin is an absolute gem! I recently had him watch my two dogs for three days while I was away in Phoenix, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. From the moment I dropped them off, I knew they were in great hands. Kevin is attentive, caring, and genuinely loves animals — my pups came back happy, well-fed, and clearly well looked after. It’s not easy finding someone you can fully trust with your fur babies, especially for multiple days at a time, but Kevin made the whole experience completely stress-free. I didn’t have to worry for a single second while I was away. He went above and beyond, and it really showed. If you’re looking for someone reliable, loving, and responsible to care for your dogs, look no further than Kevin. I will absolutely be calling him again the next time I need a dog sitter. Highly, HIGHLY recommend! 🐾
Danii took excellent care of our 15-year-old dog, Ghetta, in our home for 26 days. She was always quick to respond and consistently sent photos, videos, and daily progress reports. Danii handled Ghetta’s medication and special needs with remarkable attention. We came home to a spotless house and a very happy dog. She even waited for us when our flight was delayed, which we truly appreciated. Thank you so much!
My first experience with Rover is with Cristina, Cristina is fabulous with our puppy, Dash. Cristina played with Dash, brought him to the dog park and took him on various walks. Cristina is very pleasant, happy, and passes on her confident personality which makes a first-time Rover-user like me, feel confident when leaving their puppy with the caretaker for the day!! And Dash could sense immediately the pleasant character of Cristina, so he showed readiness in leaving his Mama, which came as a surprise to me!! When we come back to Central Florida, we will give you a shout! Thank you Cristina!
