“Deli was extremely sweet and patient with our kitty and literally treated her as her own!! We were having a difficult time with a previous Rover cat sitter, but Deli made it work and rescued the day last minute!! I cannot thank her enough. Deli is definitely our go to moving forward!!”


“Kelly is the absolute best. This was our first time on Rover, and her communications were clear and quick, and she did great work reassuring us that our pup was in good hands. Loved the photographs, and really appreciated the time she took to communicate with us by phone and by text. We’re only slightly concerned that our pup now likes her more than us! 😀 Hugely impressed with Kelly - she’ll take fab care of your pups.”


“I contacted Carmen to watch my guinea pigs while I had work done to my apartment and she was extremely accommodating to my schedule and needs. She clearly has a genuine love for pets and was a great sitter.”


“Jade is hands down the BEST person i’ve booked on rover!!! My cat has so much anxiety when we leave for vacation and she gained his trust so quickly (even better than family members he’s grown up with)! She sent me multiple updates of my baby each day and made me feel like we really left our boy in the right hands. She even got him a little gift before her stay ended!! truly the kind of person you want in your space and taking care of your fur babies! We would be more than grateful if she would watch our baby again! Thanks again jade!! truly one of the most thoughtful humans!!<3”


About: Since birth, I grew up around all different kinds of animals. I’ve raised 3 beautiful pit bulls and lab mix while also having the opportunity to dog sit friends pets from Golden Retriever’s to Yorkies. I am currently going to school part-time so I have plenty of free time to watch over your pets! My schedule is very flexible and easy to work around. I have a fenced backyard as well as front yard. I love playing fetch with my dog while also playing tag. After tricks, she loves receiving her treats.

“Thomas took care of Mastimon very well. He was on time, communicative & thoughtful. He provided surety in his service , which is vital to me . I’d recommend Thomas and request his services again! Thomas is your one stop shop!”


“Jamie-Ann is absolutely incredible and always goes above and beyond to make sure our boys are happy and healthy. She also treats our home like her own and even brings in packages and things she does not need to do. She’s not only a great sitter but a wonderful person. We love her so much.”


“Sergio has been a fantastic sitter for our cat Sonja! Does a great job caring for her, and sends the best pictures of her while we're gone. Definitely recommend!”


“Nhi, Thank you for taking amazing care of our pets while we were on vacation. Your pictures and reviews of your visits made us happy knowing our cats were well taken care of. You rock!”


“Molly was wonderful. She came and took care of our cat on a last-minute basis for a week. I would absolutely ask her to take care of him again she did a great job.”


“Very caring and compassionate with my pets! I would highly recommend to any of my friends or family. She treated my cats as her own and always kept me updated. Extremely responsive and helpful with short notices. I can’t even begin to explain how thankful I am for her outstanding services.”


“I couldn’t be happier with the care our cat received while we were away. Angie was attentive, reliable, and clearly has a genuine love for animals. We got regular updates and photos, which gave us great peace of mind. Our cat was calm and happy when we got back—proof that she was in good hands. Highly recommend!”


About: My lifelong experience with animals and a deep understanding of their care set me apart as a pet sitter. My partner also works at a vet! Having grown up in a household where my mother worked as a vet tech, I gained hands-on knowledge about animal health and behavior from an early age. I’ve owned and cared for a wide range of animals, from goldfish and chameleons to African greys and dogs of all breeds and ages. This diverse experience equips me to handle the unique needs of each pet, whether it's providing basic training for puppies, catering to the special requirements of senior pets, or ensuring the comfort and well-being of exotic animals. I work a normal job from 9-5 every Monday-Friday. However, my partner works from home now which ensures around the clock care to your loved one. In my home, I provide a safe and welcoming environment tailored to the needs of each pet. With a securely fenced yard, pets have plenty of space to play and explore safely. For additional outdoor activities, I take advantage of a large nearby park, perfect for walks and exercise. Inside, I offer a dedicated, closed-off room to provide a quiet and comfortable space for pets who may need some time alone or extra security. When caring for pets in their own homes, I follow their usual routines to ensure they feel comfortable and stress-free. I prioritize cleanliness, stick to feeding and exercise schedules, and provide plenty of affection and attention to keep them happy and healthy.

About: I have taken care of family and friends’ pets since my teenage years. I also owned my own dog but sadly she has passed. Still even though I will replace her I still enjoy the companionship and loyalty of all fury pals. I am flexible with my schedule as long as you give me a days’ notice to set myself up. Communication is key. Mon - Fri I am free after 5pm till 10pm and can sleep over if needed. Weekends if i have nothing going on can be available anytime just ask. I am good a following instructions. Just provided me with how you like things done with your dog and I meet expectations without any problems.

“Janayah is a lovely cat sitter and I highly recommend her. She read and followed all my instructions and took good care of my cat Luna. She provided a couple photos each visit. She played with Luna, kept the litter tidy for her, made sure her food plates were cleaned out and rotated. She has been very responsive in her communication and handled everything well while I was away on vacation. I came back to seeing everything neat and clean in the house as well.”


“We needed someone to watch after Chloe while we were down the shore. First time meeting her and instantly knew she would be a great fit to look after our girl. Logan was very commutative , sent detail updates, and lots of great pictures. I would recommend her to anyone who ask. I hope to use her again in the near future as well. Thank you Logan for taking such great care of our girl. She loved you!!”


“I found Tara’s profile when my usual cat sitter wasn’t available. As a Cat owner on a largely dog friendly app, I was happy to see in Tara’s profile pictures of cats and her bio stating that she has grown up with cats, which helped me feel assured that she would know how to deal with them. Especially since cats can be so different from dogs sometimes. We setup a meet and greet. Tara gave me plenty of heads up when she was arriving at our house. She was super, super sweet and very calm with our cat. Tara told us she juggles a few other drop ins for dogs and cats, which led me to believe she is a very good pet sitter, if she has regulars. Also, Perrie (our cat) was super interested in her smell and spent the whole time smelling Tara, which I felt was a very good sign that Perrie would learn to relax faster with someone whose scent she is interested in. I was impressed because Perrie did not swipe or hiss at her at all. She did nibble her wrist but otherwise Perrie seemed calm. We booked her and went on our trip. With our indoor security camera we were able to monitor Tara’s work in real time or after the fact, but Tara was also extremely diligent in updating the report card for each drop in. She went above and beyond and Perrie seems super fond of her. While our cat was still a bit unsure about her, she did end up sitting on Tara’s lap a few times and was able to play with her comfortably which was amazing and very rare for strangers!!!! Litter box clean up was so neatly done, and the food diligently prepared and cleaned up. She even helped us bring in our mail! I was so happy with how Tara did. I felt very assured and at ease knowing she was there to take care of things. I 100% recommend her!!!!!”


About: I grew up with large dogs in the house and have always loved and cherished them deeply. From puppy to senior dog, they are family and I believe they should be treated with the same respect, care, and love that we would treat any of our human family members. This means lots of play time and pets, giving good food and clean water, picking up after them, and making sure they are happy and well taken care of. I would do anything for my pets, just like I would do anything for yours. I currently work from home, and am a freelance worker, so I would be able to fit almost anything into my schedule! I like to plan out my days and prioritize, so I would be sure to create my routine around your pet. I treat my pets the same as I would any human family member. I care deeply for them, and would do absolutely anything in my power to ensure that they feel happy and loved. I would hold my client's pets to the same importance that I would my own, and make sure that they have everything they need!

“As a first-time kitten owner, I was so nervous about leaving my baby, but Misty made everything so easy and stress-free! From the moment we met, she was kind, patient, and asked all the right questions. She took amazing care of my Khloe — feeding her on schedule, keeping her space clean, and even giving her playtime and love like she was her own. Misty sent me daily updates, photos, and videos which really helped ease my anxiety while I was away. When I picked Khloe up, she was happy and didn’t want to leave Misty! I truly couldn’t have asked for a better experience, and I’m so grateful I found someone I can trust. Thank you Misty for your service! I will be definitely booking again with you.. Highly recommend, especially if you’re new to pet parenting! 💛🐾”


“Tashi was amazing! It was our first time using Rover for drop in visits for our cat, so I was quite nervous. Tashi made us feel at ease after her first check-in with our kitty. She communicated with us every day and sent photos of our cat and a great summary of the visit. She was always quick to respond if we had a question. We will definitely rebook with Tashi if we need future drop-in visits!”

Tom was great real friendly with the cats. They all came out to see who was checking in on them. Definitely would recommend that personally would use again.

Deli is amazing! She provided witty updates, played with my boy, and took extra care to make sure my place looked great when I came home. Absolutely would recommend her!!

Loved the pictures Jonny sent, made me feel much better about travelling away from my babies! Would hire again!

Mark was great with nutmeg and followed all instructions. My house was nice and clean when I came back. Nutmeg was very happy!

Had another lovely visit from Kyra! It’s the best feeling when you know your pet is in the care of someone who really gets them. Pets are the best judge of character and my cat loves her visits from Kyra — enough said! Thanks as always!!

Would absolutely recommend!! She was amazing, a very great communicator, and Arlo loved her! She even brought extra toys for him and went above and beyond to keep my apartment clean & tidy while I was away.

Lilian was great with our cats! She took amazing photos and cared for them like they were her own. She even played with them and got action shots!! She is a fantastic pet sitter and we would recommend her without reservation!! ~Rhonda & Mike

Andrew is so caring. My two Siberian boys trusted him right away. I know everything went well not just because of the notes and pictures shared (which were great) but because my sweet boys greeted me joyfully having been well cared for!!

Carmen was wonderful!! Very attentive to details when it came to the animals & their everyday needs . Definitely recommend her to watch anyone’s animals , I will be booking with Carmen every chance I get

Irene was awesome with our cat Tammy and took good care of her while we were away. She made sure to engage with Tammy with games. Highly recommend and we will be booking her services again in the future. Thank you Irene.

Jonathan was great with our two cats!! He was communicative, punctual and an overall fantastic cat Sitter! :)

Mauri truly saved the day at the very last minute! I couldn’t see my puppy through the camera and was extremely worried — I even feared something had happened to him. I booked with Mauri just minutes in advance, and she responded so quickly and kindly. She gave me peace of mind right away. 100% recommended — I’d definitely book with her again! 🫶🏻

Theresa is very nice and our kitties like her. This was a drop in preparing for some time we will be away.

Kendra is so sweet and did a great job watching our shy cat! She was communicative and even got our little one to come out for snuggles ☺️

My partner and I hired Jojo to take care of our bearded dragon multiple times over the last few months as we worked through the process of moving across the country. I had to take multiple trips back-and-forth and Jojo was there for us every time. We are devastated that we can’t pack Jojo up with the rest of our apartment, because we can’t imagine finding a better pet sitter!

Sergio has been a fantastic sitter for our cat Sonja! Does a great job caring for her, and sends the best pictures of her while we're gone. Definitely recommend!
