“This is the second time Francesca has watched my cats and she is great with them! She provided great updates and pictures showing her giving them affection. One of my cats is a bit shy around strangers but she came and hung out with Francesca :-). I also noticed the effort she put into tidying up the mess they sometimes make and it was so appreciated!”

“I am so thankful to have found Rebekah and welcome her to our little pack! She is highly responsive and more than responsible. She had a great approach with my nervous pup, which means the world to me. She has trustworthy and organized does not even begin to describe this woman! If you’re looking for someone to trust with your babies look no further! 100/10 stars!”

“Ruth was so attentive and caring with my cat Titus. I hate leaving him alone so it gave me a lot of comfort knowing everyday she came by to give him some love and kept me updated on how he was with pics and videos. She took care of him just like he was hers. ❤️”

“Alivia is the biggest blessing for our little boy (cat)!! She’s so thorough and is willing to go above and beyond our requested needs. Thank you as always Alivia!!!”

“So communicative and really made sure my babies felt loved while I was gone.Sent pictures with every visit while keeping me informed of their behavior/mood. Wonderful! Will book again ☺️”

“Kimberly was great with my girls! She kept me informed and provided updates throughout the day. I have no doubt the girls were very well taken care of. I would definitely recommend Kimberly and know that she would looks after your pet’s needs!”

About: What truly sets me apart is my commitment to a stress free sitting for both the pet and the owner. I understand that leaving a pet can cause anxiety, which is why I focus on proactive communication. You’ll never have to wonder how things are going; I provide daily check-ins with high-quality photos and if requested, detailed updates on behavior, appetite, and exercise. My goal is to maintain your pet’s exact routine(if provided), so that the only thing they notice while you’re gone is a new friend, rather than a disruption to their sense of security. I'm a college student and my flexibile work schedule allows me to seamlessly integrate pet care into my day, providing your pets with consistent companionship and supervision. I believe the best care happens when a pet's routine doesn't skip a beat, so I make it my mission to mirror their usual schedule exactly as you requested. Whether it's taking your pet for their morning walk or making sure the good treats are served right after dinner, i'll keep things predictable and calm for them. Since i'll be studying or taking classes from my laptop, i'll spend most of my time on the sofa or at the table with them, providing that constant body doubling to keep separation anxiety levels low while I stay on top of my responsibilities.
“Aaliyah is amazing with our young puppy! She is always on time, communicates very well, and we totally trust her. You can tell she really cares and has a passion for what she does! Would recommend 100%!”

“Kristin was great with my kitty’s. She made sure they got fed and one of the cats got meds. It was easy to book with her at the last minute when I could see not book anyone else. After getting home and greeting my cats I can tell they were not lonely while we are gone. I so appreciate her and my cats liked her being there. I would definitely book her again.”

“Teresa was great! She kept me in the loop with my babies (kitties) while we were gone; she even washed their food bowls! I really appreciate that she was willing and able to help it with such short notice.”

“Jasmine is AMAZING!!! We have 4 HIGH energy dogs with separation anxiety and we, ourselves, have mad anxiety about leaving them alone for any period of time. She was open to helping us scent-train our dogs to learn her smell before coming over. And she was also open to both meeting us and doing a trial visit before we booked out a longer trip. On the day of the actual visit, she was SO communicative + helpful the entire time. Plenty of pictures and the pups who are wary of strangers, LOVE HER. We are so relieved to have found the perfect dog sitter for our babies and can rest-easy knowing they will be in her care while we’re gone. Book her!!!”

“River and Bella were taken care of very well. Laura was able to watch them last min when another sitter had to cancel. Very communicative and sent lots of pictures. Will definitely book again.”


“We are so grateful to have found Alena. We have booked with her multiple times and she always takes such great care of our cat. She is kind, caring and thorough. We would highly recommend Alena for all of your pet sitting needs!”

“Thank you so much for taking care of our boys! We’ve caught up after returning from our cruise and wanted to give you our heartfelt thanks. Your comments and photos during the week were really comforting.”


“She is very organized and methodical. She gave the kids fresh water, fresh food, cleaned the potty. She cleaned some kitty cat food dishes and left them organized and neatly arrayed on the kitchen table. What can I say? She's the best.”

Craven pet parents share their Rover experiences
Francesca is amazing. My anxious pup has never taken a liking to someone so fast. She even listened to Francesca when she gave a command and took treats from her, which is a big deal! Francesca is punctual, communicative, and has a calm and caring demeanor. She is all around excellent. I definitely recommend her!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Hana took excellent care of my two dogs in my home. She was reliable, kind, and very attentive to their needs. She followed all instructions and routines, which gave me great peace of mind while I was away. My dogs were happy and well cared for. I would absolutely recommend Hana and would not hesitate to book her again.

Sarai is the best!! I have a 8 month old kitty and a 14 year old and she took the best care of them while I went home for the holidays. She kept me updated and took lots of pictures. Myers my kitty loved to go for daily walks in the hallway and Sarai took him everyday. She went above and beyond and I highly recommend her and I know my babies will be safe when I have to travel again!!

Anzhelika is truly the best! Anytime we’re away, whether it’s a last-minute trip or a week long vacation, she is always able to make it work and takes the best care of our little fur baby. Not only does our cat get lots of love and attention, but Anzhelika goes above and beyond to keep everything clean and tidy while we’re gone. It’s such a relief knowing our cat is in such caring and reliable hands. We’re so grateful and couldn’t recommend her more highly!

Machalia was absolutely wonderful with my dogs! She was extremely attentive and communicative, sending me regular updates along with plenty of pictures of them having fun and enjoying their walk. She showed so much respect and genuine care, paying attention to every detail of their routine. I came home to happy, relaxed pups who were clearly comfortable and stress-free after being with her. It gave me such peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring sitter and will definitely be booking with her again!

Anna was wonderful. My 3 cats are pretty skittish and generally not great with strangers. Because of this I had told Anna that she shouldn’t expect to see them when she came. My expectation was that Anna would check their food and cat and scoop the litter pans. Anna went beyond my expectations and even was able to spend a little time with my cats and sent me pictures which was very reassuring while I was away. I would HIGHLY recommend Anna!!

SO happy to have found Korinna! My pup is not easy, he is sweet but not easy. He is rambunctious and reactive on leash but Korinna never hesitated! She was happy to meet before so that both me and my pup were comfortable and was super responsive and reliable. She also took such great pictures to make my work day! Truly think no matter what type of pup you have Korinna can be your girl! ✨ 🥰 100% will be booking again and again, if she’ll have us 😉

As always, Christi comes through with a save. Since discovering Rover, we've never booked anyone else for our cats but Christi. It's always Christi. My husband and I trust her, but most especially our cats. For this visit, I accidentally booked her for both kitties, and when I corrected that and clarified that we'll only need her to give my diabetic cat a shot and my hisband will handle the rest, she was gracious and honest to modify the charges. We've already made plans for the next time we're going to need her and I'm glad she has our dates penciled out! As always, CHRISTI IS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
