“Jenna and Jason did an amazing job! Every visit was documented and I recieved meaningful updates with lots of pictures! I will definitely be using them again in the future!”
“Grace was absolutely awesome! Her attention to detail is top notch, even when your pets hide for 5 days! Daily text and photo updates provided without asking which was great. She clearly loves animals and takes pride in the services she offers! A++ thanks again”
“We were pretty apprehensive about leaving on vacation for several days with our kitties in the care of someone unfamiliar to all of us. Rebecca was amazing and very friendly, and our kitties took an instant liking to her! She made us feel comfortable and asked questions about their routine and needs and was very accommodating. Thank you so much!”
“Rachel is attentive and consistent. Our kitties were well taken care of and we felt better having Rachel visit with them. We will definitely ask Rachel to help us out again if needed.”
“Excellent as always! My cats were happy and healthy, and I'm glad to see through the daily updates that my more shy cat is warming up to Ansley! My more social cat seems to love her and the pictures of them playing in the updates always make me smile.”
“Diane took great care of my senior cat, including giving her daily pills, without any issues! She’s very professional and went above and beyond for my cat. I highly recommend her!”
“We have booked Natalie 2 times now. I have no worries when leaving my babies in her care. You can tell she loves animals and enjoys getting to be around them. She has vet tech experience which is a plus! We will always use Natalie as long as she’s available!”
“Alyssa was fantastic! She was very attentive to my fur babies, a perfect communicator, and made me feel very comfortable going out of town knowing my pets would be well cared for. Highly recommend Alyssa!”
“Alyssa took great care of our cat, and the check-in photos of her were better than any pictures we ever get ourselves. With our cat's history of separation anxiety, we could tell when we got home that she was well cared for and comfortable. Alyssa's fantastic and absolutely someone you can trust your pets with.”
“Alexis was amazing!! Our cat is so skittish, but Alexis won him over and made sure he got his treatments. She's super reliable and trustworthy. I felt so relieved and could relax on my vacation.”
About: I have experience staying overnight in clients’ homes to care for their pets, including senior and sick dogs who need extra love and attention. I always follow the owner’s instructions closely and make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and happy! I’m also happy to host pets in my own home, which is cozy and has a nice backyard for play and fresh air. I’m friendly, reliable, and treat every pet like my own💕💕🐶🐱 I currently am a senior in highschool who's unemployed so that means I have a lot of time! I'm almost always available and there when needed. I have a big fenced yard and do not have any other pets, so no need to worry about conflict with other animals! I treat every home and pet with care and respect and will make sure I keep you updated by sending you update pictures!
“Carina was amazing! This was the first time we went away since moving here, and Carina made us feel at ease while leaving our fur babies. Carina left our house immaculate and took care of our flowers outside. I highly recommend Carina for house sitting and pet care.”
“Erin was great! We had her looking after our cat for a long weekend and she was super communicative and left the house in better condition than when we left. At one point she mistakenly thought she broke something and told us right away and offered to pay for it, and that level of personal responsibility alone will have us booking her again. Our cat is also a really anxious type and it's obvious when he hasn't been well cared for as he'll stop cleaning himself, and we returned to a very happy and fluffy kitty. We will 100% have her back in the future.”
“We felt like our cat was in good hands with Cassidy's daily drop-ins! She updated us on his mood of the day and what she did with him in a way that was really reassuring and helpful! She also took lots of heart pictures of him! Would recommend!”
“She was timely with your requested time and super friendly with our cats. She’s was responsive during the meet and greet and even did extra steps like brining up the trash. Our boys have 4 litter boxes and two automatic wet food feeders that require some maintenance. She handled that proper”
“Taylor was awesome w my cat Otis. She would give me peace of mind by sending me pictures of him relaxing or playing w her. As a worried cat owner having someone stop by gave me to take peace of mind that he was safe and being loved. I will be utilizing Taylor as much as possible for future trips since she did such an amazing job making sure Otis was happy. She was even able to stop by before my trip and do a quick walk through w directions on how to get in, etc. I highly recommend Taylor and her services!”
Derby cat parents share their Rover experiences
Alexis was reliable and professional! And also loving and sweet with our two dogs and two cats. She was flexible with our changing travel plans and helped problem solve issues like a beeping alarm system! I knew my fur babies were in good hands. Thanks, Alexis!
Jenny really spent time with my cat! I have had other cat sitters (from Rover) who spent 5 or 10 minutes, but Jenny spent 25-30 minutes to give my cat some play time and lots of love. I have a camera on my front door so I know how long the sitter stays. Jenny sent regular updates and was easy to work with.
Laura checked on our cat while we were away during the holidays. Laura is very responsive to all communication. She provided daily updates with pictures (even though our cat is super shy). It was great knowing that someone was checking on him every day. Laura, thank you so much for taking care of Fez!
Andrea was amazing with our fur babies! As we all know, our kitties can be a bit wary of strangers, but she did a wonderful job caring for them and our home as well. She even stepped in last minute around the holidays after our original cat sitter had to cancel due to an emergency. My husband and I truly couldn’t appreciate her more. Highly recommended, and we will absolutely be using her services again!
McKenna took great care of our 2 cats while we were out of town. She fed them, played with them, and gave them attention. She left our house just as clean as when we left and took care of a excited eater's vomit. The cats love having her visit and we know they are in good hands.
