Aimee took great care of our shy kitty while we were out of town, giving him his space and plenty of treats. She even met with us before we left to review necessary details. We would 100% use her again!

Mya was a great sitter for my two cats! It was clear even from the meet & greet that she likes cats, and mine loved her right back! One of them is on a special diet and Mya followed all my food instructions perfectly. She was also able to get my other pickier cat to eat wet food which can sometimes be a struggle. I highly recommend her and would definitely use her again. Thanks, Mya!

I can’t rave enough about how AMAZING Melissa is! As a very devout cat mom, I tend to find myself stressing about my Berkley🐈‍⬛ while vacationing! Not only is this the first time I was able to detach myself from those ever so common stress paths, but I also was able to fully indulge in my entire trip without even questioning his wellbeing. Melissa went ABOVE & BEYOND ensuring she formed a trusting Bond with Berkley and it showed. I can count on one hand how many people Berkley has trusted enough to not only play, but hand feed him, Melissa has made that list and he is 7 years old! Impressive is an understatement. I know exactly who I will contact next time we need a sitter and if Melissa isn’t available, I will likely resechedule my trip to a time she is! Thank you, Melissa. You have gained a permanent place on the top of the sitter list and I really can’t thank you enough!🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

Aly is great! She dropped in to care for my cat for several days during the holidays. She took great care of her during that time, following all the instructions we discussed, and providing thoughtful details and wonderful pictures of the visits. Definitely recommended.

I've hired Olga several times now and she has been great to work with. She's very responsive, and was willing to go above and beyond to accommodate my prolonged time away from this recent period. She was also very flexible in light of some last-minute flight delays and cancellations which took a lot of stress off my mind. Highly recommended!

Erin did a wonderful job of taking care of our two kitties while we were away, spending time with them and making sure our one cat got his medicine. She also went above and beyond by cleaning up an unexpected mess, so I didn’t have to worry about returning home to it.

Catie had to make a change to the reservation due to a personal situation but she was super communicative to make sure I had time to find a sitter for the rest of the time and worked to get the key to the person as well. Vinnie loves her and would definitely hire her again when I need someone to watch her.

Patricia is the BEST! She was my first ever Rover experience and she was amazing. She communicated with me everytime she visited my dog, took her on walks, and spent time to play with her each time. She also sent pictures of my dog for each check-in which was really appreciated. Patricia went above and beyond my expectations and I absolutely recommend her to any other dog owners who want the peace of mind that their pup is in good hands.

Heather did home visits with my cat for nearly a week and she did an excellent job! I previously hired a local professional service for pet sitting and she was much more easy to contact and responsive than the service. She even sent pictures of my cat each day during her visit. I was a bit skeptical of Rover when I signed up but I would definitely book with Heather again.

Michael has watched my dogs and cat a number of times and has done a wonderful job of following my instructions, but she has also taken the initiative to work with the dogs to make sure they learn tricks when I am gone. I think they enjoy having her here more than me! I know they are in good hands when she is here, which means I enjoy my trips as I do not have to worry about the animals or the house. Although she usually stays at my house, she has taken my dog to stay with her a couple of times and that went well, too.
