“Kyla did a great job looking after my cats. It was easy to set things up, she arrived as scheduled, communicated well throughout, and my cats liked her too.”


3. Elijah S.

“Elijah did a wonderful job watching our 2 cats. He communicated well, spent time hanging out and playing with the cats, and followed all of our instructions. Will definitely use him again for cat-sitting!”


4. Lila D.


“As always, we appreciate Lila being able to watch the girls. She even came super early in the morning before she had to work which we know isn’t easy and she gave Luna some medicine for her eye which was so kind of her to do. We will definitely be booking her again!”


5. Kristen C.

“Kristen is a gem of a person and so attentive to our dog, Skye. She sends lots of updates and pictures and is also very funny. She is great to work with and I totally trust her with our furbaby.”


6. Jeffrey H.

“This was our first time using Rover and we are so glad we found Jeffrey. He took such great care of our diabetic cat so we could rest easy on vacation.”


7. Eula C.


“Thane was great with Rat! They took the time to understand his personality and routine during our meet and greet which put me at ease. I’d definitely hire them again :)”


8. Sophie M.

“Sophie did a great job taking care of our kitties! She sent lots of photos and we felt better leaving them while we were on vacation knowing she was there.”


9. Amanda M.


“Amanda was phenomenal with taking care of Indi while I was out of town. Indi was feeling very sick and Amanda gave consistent updates and went above and beyond to help take care of her and make sure she was as comfortable as possible. Thank you so much Amanda, will definitely be rebooking for the future!”


10. Devinder K.

“Devinder is very friendly and makes sure your pet gets the care they need. My dog Sylvester is being left alone in the home for the first time since COVID started and Devinder makes him feel comfortable while I'm away. Devinder is great about sending updates and photos. Definitely booking again!”


11. Jessica D.

“We reached out to Jessica, because she seemed like a fit for our elderly dog with high medical needs. She was warm, accommodating, and she would have been the perfect fit had our dog not passed away before she could begin providing him care. She had not previously injected a dog, but she was a trooper - coming over for a visit, and gave Ricky insulin with ease. I also felt safe giving her a key to my home. I have already told my best friend (who has three dogs) about her, and while we are heartbroken by the circumstances, we remain hopeful we will encounter her through our dog loving friends who consistently need the kind of support I am confident she provides. Thank you again, Jessica.”


12. Sydney G.

“Sydney did such a good job with my kitties!! They're a little up in age and need medicine in their food twice a day and she did great with that. She did also clean the litter for me one more time before I got home which is awesome! Would totally recommend her ?”


13. Talia C.
About: I’ve taken care of multiple breeds and of varying ages. I’ve also helped train my own puppy, as well as friends’ dogs, the basics like potty training, sit, etc. I’m quite comfortable with puppies under 1 year old all the way to our senior friends. I’m currently a full-time dog mom and pet caretaker. I just graduated from grad school and don’t start my new job until this fall, and I thought - what a better way to spend my summer off taking care of my favorite animal and helping other pet owners? I’m an open communicator and can be available how you need me with the proper heads-up! I live in an apartment building with my fiancé and our sweet, cuddly boy dog (neutered). There’s 3 parks within walking distance and a dog park just an 8min drive away. Since I live in an apartment, I would recommend only small to medium dogs stay with us, but I’m always willing to travel to clients’ houses for dogs of all sizes. I treat my clients dogs as if they were my own fur baby. The love, kindness, & attention I give my sweet boy is the same love, kindness, & attention your dog will receive. My friend is also a vet tech I can always reach out to for advice/questions and I myself am a certified (human) healthcare professional.


14. Cynthia B.

“Cynthia was a great pup-sitter, and kept me well informed with pictures and updates! Sebastian tends to be anxious and he looked like he didn’t miss a beat of belly rubs, cuddles, walks and attention. She communicated all needs and changes in behavior during my time away! She was a great sitter!”


15. Abby L.

“Abby is absolutely wonderful! This was our first time using Rover and she made it so easy. We have two cats that needed oral medication twice a day for a week. We could rest easy knowing she had it covered. She kept us informed with daily updates and photos. Highly recommended!”


16. Maria & Luis V.


“Thank you so much, Maria! Maria was a fantastic sitter for my two cats. She did drop in visits while we were away for a day, and she followed instructions perfectly, and came at the times we agreed. She played with my cats, and sent me lots of pictures, where my cats looked happy. We came home to two perfectly normal cats and house. Having her made my day better, because I could relax knowing that my boys were taken care of. I will definitely contact her again, next time we are out. Thank you so much again, Maria!”


17. Claire P.

“Claire was FANTASTIC! She stopped over for a meet and greet prior to coming for the visit to meet them! Played and gave them a snack! Much appreciated! Loved getting the cute pics during the visit!”


18. Brenna C.

“Brenna was an outstanding cat sitter for me. Very communicative, clearly loves animals, and overall just great! My little guy was pretty nervous and Brenna offered to make an extra visit to keep him company. She was willing to go above and beyond. Highly recommend”


19. jules b.

“Jules is great! My cat can be shy or indifferent with strangers but got along really well with Jules. Beyond that, Jules is a good communicator and dependable. I know my cat is in good hands with her!”


20. Abigail W.
“Abby watched my two dogs for three weeks and I couldn't have asked for a better sitter. She was so kind, responsible, and easy to communicate with the entire time. I could tell right away how much she genuinely loves dogs, whether they are elderly or energetic. If you're looking for someone dependable, loving, and totally dog-savvy, Abby's your person!”
