“Stacey P. did an excellent job of caring for my elderly dog. She was willing to give him his medication and she followed my care instruction. Stacey goes above and beyond in her service. This is the second time I’ve booked her and I would definitely book her again. Highly recommended!”

“Carolyn is amazing! She watched our cat while we were away on vacation. She administered medication every day and made sure to send us fun pics of our cat! She is hands down the best cat sitter on here!”


7. Haley S.

“Haley was incredible! She was so patient with Louie and his injury and sent me so many updates through the day! I know Louie had the best 5 days!”


8. Kelsey S.

“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!”


9. Ray T.

“This was our first time using Rover, previously we have only left our animals in the care of immediate family. Ray was outstanding! The pictures that were sent each visit, documented the time we missed with Sofie. I couldn't be more pleased with the care and attention Sofie received from Ray.”


10. Ariana B.

“Ariana truly went above and beyond for Leo! She was incredibly attentive to his needs and kept us updated throughout the weekend. I felt completely at ease knowing she was checking in on our cat. We will definitely be rebooking with her in the future!”


11. Rachel K.

“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!”


12. Jamie M.
“Jamie is one of the kindest and thoughtful caregivers I've met. She loves all animals and it certainly shows in her level of investment to ensure the safety, comfort, and happiness of those under her care. I have seen her engage with dogs and cats of all ages, from puppies with all of the energy in the world to our 19 year old cat who somehow still has a skip in her step. From walks to grooming to providing medication accurately, Jamie is trustworthy and consistently goes the extra mile.”


13. Ciara F.
“If you are looking for a pet sitter with an extraordinary care ethic and genuine love for animals of all varieties, you need look no further. Ciara is a kind and responsible pet owner to her three cats, and grew up with two dog siblings ❤️. She has taken care of friends and relatives’ pets while they were on vacation and thoroughly enjoys spending time with animals. During her tenure at the University of Alabama, she volunteered in the local humane shelter assisting with activities and affectionately interacting with all breeds of dogs. Ciara will be a great choice for pet care, and maybe more importantly, your pet will agree 💕”


14. Lana S.

“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. ?”


15. Elena B.

“Thank you for taking care of our little guys on such short notice! It made a difficult time much easier.”


16. Jackie G.
“Jackie has many qualities that would make a treasure to Rover and an undisputed friend to the pets. She is a reliable and honest, community-oriented, and experienced customer service personality. Her primary reason for wanting this job is her love of animals. My dog jumps for joy when the time draws near of her arrival. Having Jackie as a Rover caregiver is a when, when for all. Angelina L”

“Katiushka is a great pet caretaker! We’ve been friends for years and when it came down for me to stay in the hospital for some weeks she stepped up and took care of my pet for 4+ weeks! She was well taken cared of I give her 10 of 10 stars ur pets will be in GREAT hands with a amazing person”


18. Sarah C.

“Sarah was a calming and trusting presence for me from the moment we met! I was so anxious about finding the right person to be with my puppy. She sends photos, texts back with swiftness, and always gives me a review if her visit. If you’re looking for a calm and accommodating presence in your puppy’s life, look no further.”
