1. Hailey T.
“Hailey was truly exceptional! She took incredible care of our cat Mochi while we were on our honeymoon; not only making sure Mochi had food and some socializing while we were away, but she also brought in a few packages we had delivered while we were gone. She even made sure the litter box was clean when we got home. She sent lots of photos of our girl while we were gone and made the hardest part of the trip - leaving Mochi at home - a non-issue with how great she was. Thank you Hailey for everything!!”

“Giselle was great checking on our cats while we were away. She sent daily updates including video clips spending time, petting, brushing and interacting with our two kitties. I believe spending a half hour a day. We returned home to everything tidy and a fresh litter box. We very much appreciate it as we miss our guys when away and glad they got some special attention. Thank you!”

14. Grace H.
“Grace has a natural connection with animals that's clear whenever you see them interact. They treat every animal as if he/she was their own, and in the time I have known Grace they have always remembered feeding schedules, bathroom times, and play time with the animal they are taking care of. They also pay attention to specific traits of the animal, such as their favorite treats, favorite toys, things they like to do and don't like to do. I would trust Grace to take care of my pet for any amount of time.”

“Kyungmi Nadia took such great care of our cat while we were away! She started taking care of her when she was high needs right out of surgery. Great communication with us the whole time. We always came home to a happy, very well cared for kitty. She took the time to make sure her litter box, food, and water dishes were always clean. We had adorable pictures everyday, and she even brought our mail in! I really could not have asked for a better caregiver for our kitty!! We trust her 100% and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a compassionate, and trustworthy sitter for their pet!”
17. Christine V.
“Christine did an excellent job taking care of my cat for two weeks. She came to my home every morning and evening to feed, care for and play with the 8 month old kitten. I got pictures on the Rover site for every visit, giving me comfort that my cat was being well cared for. I could see how comfortable he was with Christine, to the point of nuzzling up to snooze in her coat! I highly recommend that you use Christine to care for your pet. I certainly plan to use her again for the peace of mind knowing that my cat is happy and has a reliable caregiver.”

19. Jennie P.
“Jennie is wonderful with dogs! She has cared for our dog and several of our friends dogs on many occasions over the last 10 years or so. She is reliable and spends time playing with the dogs, not just watching them. You can see she just loves being around them. I can't say enough good things about her, and I would highly recommend her if you are looking for someone responsible to help take care of your pet.”
