“Kimiko was great! She was very attentive to Sadie’s needs and asked good relevant questions. She sent plenty of photos and made sure she was taken care of. I didn’t have to worry about Sadie at all!”
“Christa is a dream come true! I am an anxious cat mom who needs to know everything - Christa was extremely responsive, thoughtful, and took great care of my cat! She sent the most adorable photos and kept us updated on how she was eating and behaving. We returned home to a happy kitty and I never worried about her for a moment while we were away. I would recommend Christa to anyone - truly the best cat sitter I have ever had. Will absolutely work with her again in the future!”
“Ellie always does an amazing job with Dutch! My cat isn’t the most social but has really come out of her shell with Ellie! So thankful to have found someone who does so wel with my fur baby ☺️”
“This was our first time using this service and we were so happy we chose Lizzie! She was very nice, great at communicating, and our dog warmed up to her quickly. I was also thrilled that she lives so close! Thank you Lizzie for taking such good care of our sweet little girl ♥️ We truly appreciate you!”
“Sam was able to take on a last second appointment after my usual sitter cancelled. They updated me with photos and made sure that my dog was well taken care of.”
“Jules was wonderful! I felt really comfortable leaving Courgette with them and felt very at peace. Jules was also great at communicating, would certainly choose them again.”
“Loving having Tiara watch my puppy. She's so nice & gives me tons of detail about how her visit went. She also gives me tips on how I can better improve the puppy's routine or environment which is so helpful. Highly recommend!”
“Bri did a beautiful job taking care of our older and very shy tortie Sophie. Followed instructions to a “t” - I love that she sat quietly for a time giving Sophie the chance to meet her. By day two Sophie was approaching from a distance - which is pretty impressive given it’s Sophie. I bet next time she sits Sophie will actually spend some time with her. Sent a cute picture of Sophie looking at her through the glass door in our hallway. She was also very pleasant to meet in person. This is our very first Rover booking and we’re very happy we found Bri!”
“Oxana did a great job looking after our cat Bean while we were away for a long weekend trip, feeding him and taking care of the litter box. Oxana was communicative about issues with our apartment building entrance lock too. Grateful for the attentive care!”
“Bawl always takes such good care of my baby, Stella. Stella was a bit under the weather this last time and Baeli made sure she got all the extra love and attention. Thank you!”
“Aidan was very kind and did a good job with my cat who can be on the shy side with new people! They were also very easy to communicate with and fairly quick to answer any messages. I do wish I had received a few more photos during the span of visits, but I also recognize it can be quite the task with crafty, hiding cats sometimes!”
“Korin has a very gentle and patient manner with our shy girl. They were responsive and communicative throughout, and I would highly recommend them!”
“Heath took absolutely great care of my cat while we were away. Super reliable, flexible and nice, will definitely come back again when needed!!”
“Kaitlyn was wonderful with my shy, retiring cat. She knows how kitties work and was able to entice her out. She was easy to connect with and gave great updates to make the fur Mom happy. I will be booking her again.”
“Rebecca was great with my cat Motek! She was very communicative. Motek is normally very shy with most people but loved Rebecca. Highly recommend.”
“We felt extremely comfortable with Annemarie after we initially met her and knew our pups were going to be in safe hands. We received detailed updates and photos with each drop in! She did a great job and will definitely use her services in the future.”
“This was the first time we ever had a sitter and we are so thankful it was Ana. She followed our instructions flawlessly and def put my mind at ease during my trip! She even sent cute photos and detailed updates on my cat. My cat can be tricky and he literally gravitated towards her the second she came in (which is pretty rare)- def consider using her in the future.”
“First time using this app!! Latifa was fantastic, I felt at ease knowing that my cats were taken care . I was given daily check ups and pics. I would highly recommend using Rover & LATIFA A.”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs (mostly small) since I was 12 and cats since I was 18! Family members have relied on me to walk, feed, bathe, and entertain our pets whenever I’m around. I really love to interact with dogs and cats of all sizes and have been pretty involved with services like Hope for Paws prior to college. I am currently a full time research assistant.I am best suited for animals who can be left alone for 6-8 hours at a time due to my schedule. I am more than happy to do overnight house sits and watch over your pets during my free time! I am not currently boarding any pets at my apartment, but I often do house sitting sessions. I will leave the home just as it was when I arrived and always fold up bedding/sheets/pillowcases so they are easier to clean up!

Kathryn L.
“Kathryn has taken care of my 3 cats for extended periods of time, and she has always done an excellent job of not only tending to their basic needs (food, water, cleaning the litter box) but also making them feel loved and like family. My cats don’t warm up to everyone but they feel comfortable enough to cuddle with her and hang out with her on the couch. I would highly recommend Kathryn as a loving and caring pet sitter.”
Downtown pet parents share their Rover experiences
Oxana did a great job looking after our cat Bean while we were away for a long weekend trip, feeding him and taking care of the litter box. Oxana was communicative about issues with our apartment building entrance lock too. Grateful for the attentive care!
My first time getting a cat sitter, and had a great experience with Maryann! She took great care of my cat for the weekend. I don’t think he even missed me 😅.
Sophie did a great job taking care of my cat for the weekend. I appreciated her responsiveness and clear communication!
As always Isabelle was wonderful and made me feel very safe leaving Bunny. Tons of pics and very responsive :)
Paul was great! He showed up at the promised time and took our dog for a nice long walk. Thanks Paul!
Cheyana responded quickly to my last minute request and set up a Meet and Greet for later that day. Cheyana came promptly as scheduled and took my dog for a nice walk. There were no issues and my dog was really happy!!! Would definitely hire Cheyana again!
On very short notice, Christine helped us in a pinch and dropped in to check on and feed our cat! She was communicative, and our cat seemed happy and comfortable all weekend. Would definitely work with her again!
Emma is fantastic! Emma went above and BEYOND with Zora. From leaving detailed reviews and plenty of photos, to being so sweet to my Zora, to keeping things clean and organized, Emma is such a star sitter. I couldn’t be happier with the service Emma provided. I knew my cat was safe and in loving hands with Emma. It was a pleasure and I’m so delighted my cat and Emma were able to bond so deeply. Truly, it’s a testament to how wonderful of a sitter Emma is!
I love Natasha! She takes such great care of my little one. He’s so happy with her and looks forward to her coming to check on him ☺️
Katie was very accommodating watching our dog on short notice for a few hours. She responds in a timely manner and took good care of our dog.
Sam took excellent care of our two cats, including one with diabetes. They kept in good communication and provided adorable photos. Definitely recommend Sam for your pet sitting needa!
Ellie is so sweet with our Tucker! She’s always very responsive and sends the cutest photos! Will be booking her again for dog walks in the future
Nicole was a great sitter for our two cats! She followed all instructions, left very descriptive notes, sent great pictures, and we came home to some happy cats! Would definitely book her again.
Katrina was very caring, attentive, and timely with our pups. She did a great job and I'd be happy to have her care for our dogs in the future!
Anastasia is a fantastic feline caretaker. She was very loving with our 3 cats and bonded exceptionally well with them while we were gone for 2 weeks. She is extremely well skilled and was sensitive to all of our felines’ needs and dispositions. She played with each cat individually, kept us informed of their status, and sent us a number of daily pictures, which was tremendously reassuring for us. I highly recommend Anastasia as a pet caregiver and would use her again without reservation.
Tiara was great from the moment we met! She maintained clear and consistent communication and sent the cutest pictures! She was also punctual. My birds have only been left with family or in a bird kennel before so we were a bit hesitant to leave Tiara with 3 lovebirds and a parrot with an attitude problem. She quickly eased our nerves; She followed their routine to a T and her calm demeanor helped our birds fall in love with her instantly. I would highly recommend Tiara for your any pet sitting needs☺️we hope to see you soon!
Mia went above and beyond. My shy boy took to her right away, and she gave every thought to his temperament and needs. She asked thoughtful questions when we met and made sure he was comfortable during a nasty heat wave. Her messages and photos at each visit reassured me he was in safe hands. The house looked great when I got back, she left a sweet note for us, and my boy wasn't as clingy as he has been when I've been away in the past. So I know he had good company. I will definitely contact Mia to watch my cat in the future.
Tanya is a lifesaver - I don’t know what we’d do without her. She manages to go through their complicated medication routines, set up their ridiculous auto-cat feeders, and give the kitties love and attention. She is so professional, communicative, and excellent at problem solving. Can’t recommend her highly enough!
Julia and Faith were amazing. I was overseas and scrambling to have someone care for my cats after a few unfortunate incidents with a different cat sitter (not booked via rover). They stepped in and managed the situation so well. I really trusted them in my house and with my cats. I’m so thankful for them.
