Alicia took great care of my pups while I was out of town and was extremely flexible when I needed to extend care due to my trip home being delayed. Will absolutely use Alicia again in the future!

Misha helped us out with somewhat last minute care for our cats and we are so lucky to have found him. He was very communicative, sent us tons of picture updates, and definitely went above and beyond. We definitely hope to be repeat customers!

Madeline is fantastic: she responds quickly and communicates clearly, is easy to work with and most importantly takes wonderful care of your pets. I highly recommend her! This was my first time ever using Rover too, so I was quite nervous. But she was totally reliable, honest and caring. Thanks again!

About: Me and pets…we just get each other, you know? I’ve been taking care of cats, dogs, guinea pigs, turtles, geckos, and more since I was a child. (Before I go on, both of my cats are currently staying with my parents — so I have plenty of room for your pet!) I’m close to my sister, and her senior pug, Lola, and new puppy, Ruby, are my sweet nieces — I’ve cared for them like they’re my own many times over the years. (I can’t wait to get my own dog someday!) I also love to foster all kinds of animals, from puppies to new cat moms and their 8 tiny kittens. In fact, I adopted my second cat, Dusty, after fostering and falling in love with her from APA three years ago. I adopted my senior cat, Minerva, almost 14 years ago from a Brooklyn shelter.  I’m a freelance writer and editor who works from home and loves to be outside, which is why Rover is perfect for me. Whether I’m taking your pup on a long walk (my favorite thing in the world) or cuddling up with your kitty at home, I’m excited to meet your furry best friend! I’m a freelance writer who works from home and sets my own schedule. I also don’t currently have pets in my home. So I have a lot of flexibility to visit your home, take your pet on walks, or host them in my home! My home is currently pet free and safe and ready to welcome your pet. They can even sleep in the bed if they feel like cuddling!

Ive definitely had a bad experience with rover sitters before and almost deleted the app. Let me tell you, Christine turned it around for me, this is the second time using her and she’s amazing. Punctual, leaves details about her trip, and it puts my mind at ease. Plus my kitties love her!!! Could not recommend her enough!!

About: Growing up, we had two small dogs and a grouchy old cat. When I was 22, I adopted my own kitten who was found in a barn and later at 25, adopted another kitten. I absolutely adore pets and will make sure that I’ve spent enough time with them to make them feel loved even when you are away. I’m the go-to pet sitter in my family and have traveled to Florida, Denver and Chicago to take care of different relatives dogs. This included a dog with a sensitive stomach/strict diet and an older deaf/blind dog needing different medications throughout the day. I would love to adapt a puppy now, but it does not make sense for me as I tend to travel on the weekends at least once a month. So, I’m on Rover looking to get my animal fix and am so excited about it! I’m fully remote and have a flexible work day, which allows me to easily spend ample time with your dog or cat! I’d love to keep them company while you are busy. I plan on following your instructions on how to best interact with your pet and make them feel safe. However your pet needs to be greeted and left after visiting them, I’ll make sure to follow those instructions.

Lauren was everything we could’ve hoped for in a dog sitter and much more. We were nervous to leave our reactive 10 lbs Daschund with a Rover for the very first time. We’d never been away from him for so long and he is picky about who he likes interacting with. Paddington was anxious during the meet and greet, but Lauren reassured us he would be fine. It definitely was! When we returned, Ton seemed just as happy as when we left him. Lauren was very communicative, gave amazing written and visual updates for each drop-in. The update photos showed us that Paddington loved cuddling with Lauren and felt safe with her. She followed every instruction and really went over and beyond to make sure the house would stay warm and safe for Paddington when a winter storm arrived. Lauren made us feel like we left our little guy with a trusted friend!

She went above and beyond for us during an emergency with our cat, Gato. She was so kind and compassionate and stepped in to help coordinate care, drive him to the vet, and stay with him through the process. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and genuinely caring.

Leslie was great, and not just totally on top of it all, perfectly communicative and good with our pups, but warm and easygoing besides. Part of what made our trip so enjoyable was knowing Leslie was taking care of things and seeing her reports/photos three times a day when she walked and fed them. I was actually a little jealous of how happy our terrier looked lounging on our couch with her!
