“Valeriia took care of my cat over the holidays. She was great with communication and my cat loved her! I would happily hire her again and would recommend her to others as well.”

“Anne-Charlotte was great! Mia was wiped out after her walk and play time which is exactly what we wanted. We also got plenty of updates and pictures - highly recommend!”


“Jake wasn’t able to get into our apartment till 30 minutes past his start time because our doorman was out and he stuck around 10 minutes past his end time to make up for it without us asking. He was friendly with our puppy and attentive.”

“Jessie was amazing! She was communicative and very attentive throughout the whole process. She made me feel completely at ease while I was traveling. I would absolutely book with her again!”

“Dani was wonderful. I hired her to take care of my ragdoll cat while I was away for over a week. Dani has done an outstanding job! She has provided daily reports with pictures and detailed notes on each visit which gave me a peace of mind that my pet was in the great hands. I recommend hiring Dani - she is the best pet sitter I’ve come across in a very long time!”

“Nelson took care of my (toothless) 9-year-old cat, Archie, over the holidays — which was a life-saver, as it was a last-minute booking. He is super attentive to all instructions and requests, and will provide your cat with cuddles and pets if needed :)”


“Yirui was prompt, communicative, and dependable! She took care of my two cats last minute and fed them and helped my shy cat feel comfortable. 10/10 recommend!”

“Miranda was amazing!! Such a comfort to know my sensitive tummy and very shy cat was in capable hands for the first time leaving her alone! Miranda was accommodating and followed directions, and tolerated my helicopter parenting very well. Thank you Miranda! Will definitely book again!”

“Kira did an exceptional job of taking care of Kendall! She did a great job at being responsive and shared tons of pictures and videos of the experience. 10/10 would recommend.”

“Aksel was a great sitter, he was able to come on last-minute notice and on a holiday too! He played a lot with my cat and took lots of cute pics, she enjoyed hanging out with him :)”

“Dayanara was very responsive and took great care of our cats while we were away, even our skittish one was relaxed enough to hang out during her visits, will definitely use her services again”

“Yiting is beyond awesome! She took great care of my cat Mason while I was traveling and show up every day even during the holidays and blizzards! 💗 she as a cat owner herself, knows well about cat and she stayed longer every time with my cat to make sure they have quality time. Yiting initiated greet and meet at the very beginning which is also very professional. I was so happy that Yiting looked after Mason so well so that I could be more relieved. She is the best!”

“Mars is so fantastic with our little fur baby. And she’s one of the best photographers! Somehow she got the perfect action shot of our little puppy. She’s very responsive and provides great feedback on her time with our pet. We were so happy with her we rebooked her while she was still in the middle of our first few visits.”

“Monika was absolutely wonderful! She was incredibly thoughtful, kind, and caring with my cat while I was away. She sent lots of detailed updates and so many photos during every visit, which gave me so much peace of mind. I came home to a happy, well cared for cat, and I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. I would absolutely book with Monika again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone reliable, thoughtful, and genuinely sweet :)”

“Marie has been our go to pet sitter for almost 2 years now! She always does a great job with our cat and is such a strong communicator who sends great photos and updates!”

“Matthew was such an awesome cat sitter with Nova! He was on time, sent us great pictures updates and it was clear she was well taken care of! Matthew is also easy to work with and a great communicator. Looking forward to working with Matthew again.”

There isn’t a better person on Rover. Madeline was considerate, curious, great with my cat, and went above and beyond whenever she could. I was thrilled she made a strong connection with my cat and was clear, communicative, and thoughtful throughout the booking. Best sitter ever.

Mindy looked after our cats for three weeks while we were away for our wedding and honeymoon. She did a wonderful job with our two cats and I would recommend her to anyone. She was reliable and showed up on the days she was assigned went out of her way to troubleshoot the litter box issues cleaned up messes, made by cats would recommend her to take care of your cats. Thanks again.

Aaron was amazing with my sassy 15-year-old cat. He kept her entertained and went above and beyond cleaning when she had an accident on the rug. Dakota is looking forward to seeing her friend Aaron again soon next time we’re out of town. Thank you x a million, Aaron!

Dani was absolutely amazing while watching my cat during my travels. She was prompt, communicative, and provided regular updates that gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. It was clear that she genuinely cared about my cat and made sure she was well cared for and comfortable. I would highly recommend Dani to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter, and I will definitely book with her again!

Rachel was very good with my cat while I was away on vacation. My cat really enjoyed the times when Rachel came over. She cleaned her litter box, refilled her food and water, gave her medicine, brushed her, and played with her. She also sent super cute pictures. Will use Rachel again.

Julia is an incredible cat sitter and goes above and beyond with your pets. We even had a gas leak situation in the building which she alerted us on and took all of the respective steps to ensure our cats were safe. Would recommend her to anyone who cares about their pets.
