“Alexandra did a wonderful job dropping in on our cat for an extended weekend. We booked with short notice and Alexandra was able to accommodate. The communication was great throughout with updates and pictures. We will definitely be booking Alexandra for future pet sitting needs! Highly recommend to anyone looking for a reliable, friendly, and professional pet sitter.”
“Giana was great! She took care of our two pups for 3 days while we were out of town and was great with communication. One of our dogs is more skittish and people shy and Giana was very patient and willing to try all the tricks to get her outside. I would book Giana again!”
“Carly was amazing! Very detailed updates, lots of pictures, while taking care of our sweet girl. Proactive communicator from start to finish! We will be booking with her again!”
“Open and honest communication. I really appreciated the prompt responses and reliability. Brandi will most likely be my go to cat sitter person in the near future.”
“Lindsey S. did a great job looking after our 13-year-old kitty for two weeks. From the pictures she sent, it looks like Louie was having a great time with her. We'll schedule Lindsey for our next trip soon!”
“Angela is great with dogs. My puppy loved her. She took her on a walk and Rocky did great. Angela was on time and personable and she is a natural around dogs. And she is such a nice person too. Highly recommend her.”
About: I've fed dogs based off their schedules that their owner informs me, walks with them, sometimes runs so they can get some more exercise. I am not a trainer, but I will give them attention and I love to follow the rules. I work full time in New York, so my availability can vary. I'm looking for a flexible schedule, sometimes can be steady in the weekday, depending on the month. I have a townhouse in Mill Hill area, and a park which is at the end of the block. I live by myself so I do not have housemates. I do not have a large yard, but I do dog sit for my best friend in New York at least once every other month.
“Sabrina is very gentle and loving with Susu, I've never seen my cat warm up so fast to a stranger. Sabrina also does an amazing job at effortlessly giving him his required medication, offering him treat rewards, and keeping him happy by giving him enough attention through pets and play time. She's great at making Susu feel less lonely and comfortable, with the way Susu loves sitting on her lap. Will definitely contact her again for future visits!”
About: I raised and catered to service dogs and senior dogs and new horns and puppies. I’ve trained show dogs and assisted in training emotional support service dogs. I would love this experience as I will be attending school to become a Vet tech. I have a open schedule to fill up with pets. I make sure to care for all pets the same with love and patience. I will be cater to all animals with there needs in mind so they can be the best that they can.
“James was great during drop-in visits with our two cats! His rover cards were very thorough, and he was easy to communicate with. Even our cat who is shy around strangers felt comfortable and wanted pets from him by the end of his time caring for them. I will definitely rebook with him in the future!”
“Outstanding. That’s one word I can use to describe Josh. I have two dogs. One is very old, 13. I’m always worried about my golden retriever when I’m away. Josh sent me pictures that reassured me that the older dog was OK daily. He also vacuumed up dog hair, which was a pleasant surprise to come home too. The daily walks and the daily visits are priceless. Thank you Josh!! If you’re looking for a dog sitter, or a realtor Josh is your man. Very pleasant demeanor and very organized. With this type of work ethic, you can’t go wrong with Josh. Thanks again from my family! Tk”
“Lisa was excellent. She took great care of the varied needs of my cats. She made it easy to go on vacation. I came home to happy well cared for cats, mail brought in and garbage can brought up driveway.”
“Thank you so much! We will definitely be using Clarissa again. She was great and helped clean up a mess our cats made. She’s very responsive and made our first experience with a sitter a good one!”
“She was super responsive short notice, willing to do a meet and greet and even walked him and fed him on her initial visit. That meant a lot, she earned my trust with my dog son and would totally have her drop in to take care of loki in the future. Super friendly and as a fellow dog owner she knew the drill. Deff recommend her to others who are new to Rover and want a thorough caretaker who knows what she’s doing and willing to walk the dog in the windy cold without ezcuses.”
“If you are looking for a dog sitter that truly cares about your loving family member then look no further Arassely is the person for the job! Our dog is nervous and Arassely help to make her feel comfortable and safe while we were gone. I would highly recommend her to all the animal lovers out there that are looking for peace of mind.”
“This was my first time using Rover and I couldn’t have been happier with Bri! I knew from my initial contact with her that my cat was going to be in great hands while I was away. Bri was so sweet, reliable, and patient with my cat who was shy at first!”
“AWESOME updates from this couple! They both tag teamed today because they couldn’t make the 5:30 appt and stopped by twice instead. So nice of them. Highly recommended by me! Thanks guys ???”
Central West pet parents share their Rover experiences
Giana always comes through in a pinch and follows instructions to a tee-i have three dogs with different needs and she was able to attend to all in a timely manner while being sure to go above and beyond and ask questions on where things were to clean messes. Thanks Gianna
Once again, Kai to the rescue! Our 17-year-old cat likes Kai better than anyone outside of family, and when we had an emergency, he was able to step in and provide the vital care our kitty needed. I cannot tell you the peace of mind that Kai gave us when we could not return home as planned!
Katia was absolutely amazing during her visits for my cat! She provided exceptional care, stayed in constant communication, and sent wonderful photo updates that gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. It was incredibly comforting to see that my cat was safe, happy, and well-loved. Katia is professional, reliable, and truly understands cats. I cannot recommend her highly enough and will definitely book her again. Thank you, Katia!
Sofia was so great with our cats! I’ve struggled to find a sitter who genuinely cared about the cats and spent time with them, and Sofia was it! She played with Ash and left such a detailed message with so many pictures and videos while I was away. I would recommend her to anyone I know!
Rhonda has been absolutely fantastic! She kept me informed and sent pictures through the 2 weeks. She was clearly invested in making sure both my pups were eating, getting snuggle time and the different levels of exercise they each require. If you are looking for a temporary dog mom to replace you - Rhonda is GOLD! We are truly grateful for her frequent communication, her ability to roll with any ‘hiccups’ (dog knocks over everything in the bay window;), and just genuinely get to know their personalities and cater to them. We cannot recommend Rhonda highly enough!
Booked Camila on a last minute emergency, and she was extremely prompt and helpful! Our dog is a senior dog and she was great with him and took lots of photos:) He had a great walk, and was well fed right after! Camila fed our cat as well! Would definitely book Camila again, much appreciated her help today!
Rita did an amazing job caring for our 9-month-old anxious puppy, Figgy. She was so thoughtful, kept us updated with photos and messages throughout the day, and made Figgy feel safe and comfortable. We really appreciate her flexibility, especially as we just moved and needed extra support. No issues at all—looking forward to working with her again!
