“Gigi was awesome! She was responsive and poactive. My cat is a bit shy and needs her space, Gigi followed all of the directions and gave me great peace of mind while I was away.”
“Molly is amazing with our little guy! Have had her check in on him while we were out of town twice a day for two separate trips now, and each time he is very well cared for and seems to enjoy it immensely! Will definitely book again for our next trip!”
“Stephanie is wonderful! A great communicator, lover of animals, and very attentive. You can’t put a price on peace of mind and I appreciate that I can leave town and be out of cell service with no worries about my fur babies. I highly recommend Stephanie for your pet care needs!”
“use: "I can't recommend Lydia enough! Her communication was excellent throughout, giving me complete peace of mind while I was away. My cat, who usually doesn't let anyone near her, warmed up to her a bit from the photos and notes I saw, and even enjoyed getting pets—a true testament to her calm and caring nature. Lydia exceeded all expectations, and I will definitely be booking with her again!”
“Elissa did a fantastic job taking care of our three pets! She was incredibly patient and flexible, especially when she had to wait for our renter to let her into the apartment on both visits. We really appreciated her communication, reliability, and the care she showed our pets. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a kind, dependable sitter!”
“Marcia took great care of my kitties while I was away for a long weekend. She was communicative, warm, and professional. This was my first time using Rover and I am so grateful to Marcia for her excellent care. Thanks, Marcia!”
“Elena was great with drop in visits to my senior cat! She was very communicative and always sent loads of pictures which I adored. She made sure to ask the right questions and have a contingency plan if anything were to happen during my absence. Definitely recommend her!”
“Kaitlyn was SO WONDERFUL with our cat Moosh. She gave incredibly detailed written summaries and always a ton of photos. Her communication was top notch as well. She’s the best!”
“Madison was the best caretaker for my two dogs! She sent me pictures and sent me updates all the time. Absolutely loved having her around! 10/10 recommended booking with her ❤️”
“Would recommend August to anyone looking for help with their pets. They are caring and professional and can work with those "tricky" pets. One of our dogs is more skittish when meeting new people and they were able to make him feel comfortable. They are also very communicative and provide lots of information so you know your pets are in good hands”
“Pretty last minute booking before a holiday and Marissa did a great job looking after our girls (2 cats). From all of the photos she sent it seems like the girls really enjoyed their visitor!”
“Gillian was everything we could’ve hoped for while home, and more. My pup is a rescue who, despite being with us for several years, still has some nervous habits and Gillian knew exactly how to meet and greet her. While we were out, she worked on gaining trust, eye contact and a few reward driven games which I cannot thank her for enough! Not only is this great stimulation for pup but shows her there are strangers she can trust when we’re not around. Gillian did all this of her own volition. We came home to find the mail was brought in and pups bowl had been washed clean. I’m hoping should we travel again, Gillian will be up to watch pup in the future. 12/10 recommend!”
“Anna gave us reassurance our cat was well cared for while we were out of town for over a week. Enjoyed receiving pictures of each visit. Our cat was much less anxious when we returned home. Would definitely rebook & highly recommend! :D”
“Jenna is amazing! Our 5 cats absolutely love her ❤️. We have booked her several times she is always dependable and very caring to our pets like they are her own!”
“Cheyanne was incredible and amazing and she took such good care of my two cats. I will continue to rely on Cheyanne for my pet care needs when I am in need of a rover!”
“Abby did a great job stopping in to take care of my cat Zara while I was gone for the month. She went above and beyond when Zara had a few hairball incidences and was very observant and let me know when my cat seemed to be over-licking one area. I loved the daily updates. Zara seemed to warm right up to Abby and most definitely appreciated her company while I was gone. Will use again.”
About: My name is Aubri, I'm 25 years old, and animals are my life's passion. I have my own female border collie/Australian shepherd mix and two female cats. I have a Veterinary Assistant Certification from Utah Valley University, experience in petsitting both in and out of large petsitting companies, as well as pet store experience with many types of exotic pets. My dog Honey can come with for walks and drop-ins or she can stay home. She's very friendly and submissive toward other dogs (and even cats), and has never had any issues getting along with others. She is a very sweet dog, and she loves older dogs she can play gently with. She also adores her cat sisters, but very respectfully. I also have two cats, Chiaki and Cricket. Chiaki is a sassy tabby and Cricket is a sweet tuxedo and they’re from the same litter. They both love to play with and cuddle dogs and cats, but Chiaki likes to be in charge. If she ever gets too rude, she’s quickly crated for a nice calming nap. I'd love to petsit, walk, or check in on your dogs or cats for you! Please contact me for any other information you need. It’s pretty much my whole routine! This is my only job, so aside from taking care of my own pets, my time is all yours. I’m very big on positive reinforcement and quality time with pets. I don’t believe in bad dogs, only untrained ones, and that can be remedied. My dog is trained to an absolute T because she lives in a downtown apartment and has to share a lot of space with other people and animals, so your pet will have whatever personal space or boundaries they need. She’s a great assistant coach when I’m training other pets too and loves to play with puppies and senior dogs because she likes to be soft with them.
About: Hi, I’m Hailey! I’m an animal lover through and through. nothing brings me more joy than spending time with furry friends. I believe being a great pet parent means lots of adventures, plenty of walks, and giving unconditional love every day. I’m a kind and attentive sitter with a well-trained pup of my own. Whether your pet loves to play, snuggle, or just hang out, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and cared for like family. I work full time, but since I have a dog of my own prioritize after work dog time! I get off work earlier than most people at 3:00! I live in a clean, secure apartment with no other pets or roommates. It is just me and my sweet cowboy corgi, Cooper! He’s well-trained, friendly, and used to sharing his space with new furry visitors. You can rest easy knowing your pet will be in a calm, loving environment

Downtown pet parents share their Rover experiences
Jenna did a fantastic job and followed all of my instructions to the letter – the kitties are very uncertain around unfamiliar people, but she made the extra effort to give them attention if they allowed it. Very communicative and great pictures sent for each visit. Would love to book her again in the future!
Elissa is awesome! She is super communicative and clearly loves animals. She offered to do a meet and greet with my cat beforehand to help walk through food and litterbox. I love that she shares photos of my cat as a daily check-in. I hope I'll be able to get Elissa to pet sit every time I'm out of town!
Siyao/Jenny was so kind. When she met me before I left for my trip both of my cats went straight to her, even my shy one who is usually very hesitant about new people. She stayed for 30-40 minutes twice a day and played with the cats. We will be using her for pet sitting again!
