Solaima was fantastic with taking care of our two older cats while we were away, and we really appreciated how careful and thoughtful she was about the needs of our particularly anxious boy! Looking forward to having her help with them in the future :)

Arianna was truly remarkable. She kept us informed on a daily basis with photos and made us feel at ease. We knew our three cats Miss Cleo, Gracie and Hedy were in good hands. Her love for our cats really made us so happy and for this we are truly grateful. Arianna is a treasure.

Our cats are not the easiest, nor the friendliest of guys and they really loved their visits from Steve whilst we were away. Kept us up to date with their eating and litter box habits as well. They will definitely be our go to when we're next away!

Svetlana took wonderful care of Cosmo, our cat, giving him all the love, cuddles, and attention he needed while we were away. He’s usually quite shy around new people, but he warmed up to her very quickly. We received consistent updates and photos the entire time, which gave us such peace of mind. We’re incredibly grateful and highly recommend her!

Cat did a fantastic job with our 3 cats. Since this was our first time using Rover, Cat addressed all of our questions, and took special care in her communications with us. . Due to a medical condition, one cat needed 3 different pills twice a day. While initially meeting with Cat, we saw our cats have positive interactions with her, leaving us with a good feeling. Cat kept to our strict medicine and feeding schedule, checking in every time with personal updates on each cat and sending plenty of pictures. She cleaned up the litter box, as well as a random puking incident, even asking how to clean fabrics. We can't thank her enough for making our first Rover experience an incredibly positive one. We'd definitely recommend her to friends and family, as well as using her again ourselves.

About: Growing up I’ve cared for many types of animals, from dogs and cats to turtles and lizards. My love for animals is shown through how I will treat and care for your pets. School and work has kept me busy from pet-care, but I’m excited to jump back in. Rover offers the perfect opportunity for us to save for our wedding and still do something special that doesn’t feel like work. I currently work part-time from late afternoon to nighttime, so I have plenty of free time during the day when you might be busiest to watch and care for your pet(s)! I follow pet care instructions based on the clients’ preferences and needs. I will only implement the care instructions provided to me by my clients.

Fernanda provided exceptional service to my cat Bandit while I was away. I was so nervous to leave my (very!) needy kitty, but he was extremely well taken care of by Fernanda and her daughter. She went above and beyond with her care and was extremely communicative. I will continue to book her for future pet sitting, and I know Bandit will be thrilled to see them again!

Emily was great! She came over before booking for us to meet and for her to meet my kitty, Honey. I was nervous to leave Honey for 6 days for a work trip which was the longest she’s been left alone, but Emily provided wonderful updates and photos daily so I knew Honey was being well taken care of. I would definitely book with Emily again in the future.

Sabrina took great care of my cat, geckos, axolotl, and fish. She sent excellent photos each day, and it was comforting to see that my little guys were thriving while I was away! She also took steps to try to win over my extremely shy cat and was really patient with her, which I appreciated. I would definitely recommend her as a pet sitter for cats and any other type of pet.
