“Victoria has taken care of our three cats so well when we were away for vacation. Each cat was given so much love!!! Highly recommend her if you need a cat sitter.”


2. Mandi C.

“Mandi was absolutely the best with caring for our tuxedo cat Frenchy while we were gone for a week. All of her updates were detailed and her photos were great! She went above and beyond in giving us peace of mind knowing that our cat was well taken care of. I will not hesitate to use Mandi again and we will recommend her to all of my family & friends in the area. This was the first time we used Rover and am very impressed with it. Thanks again Mandi and “Go Pack Go ?”!”


3. Sean M.
“Sean is an incredible dog trainer who truly understands dogs. He knows how to read their body language, adapts his methods to each dog, and builds real trust through positive, structured training. He trained his own dog, Charlie, to be off leash just from self-learning, and their bond clearly shows all the work Sean put into him. I recommend him to anyone that owns a dog & is looking for reliable training that actually works.”


4. Yong L.

“We are very happy to have had Yong because he seemed very professional from the first moment and immediately created a strong empathy with Ariel. We closely felt very reassured and calm when we separated from our cat and it was very nice to find him calm and peaceful upon our return!”


5. Vildan U.
“Vildan is an exceptional cat sitter. She has experience caring for cats of all ages, showing a deep understanding of their diverse needs.

Her dedication guarantees that the cats remain in a happy and healthy state of mind at all times. Vildan’s commitment and loving care makes her a truly outstanding cat sitter.”

7. Dali H.

“We often use Dali to come check in on our two bengal cats. She is the best sitter we’ve ever had. She is so thorough and cares for our cats like they are her own. 10/10 can’t speak highly enough of her!!!”


8. Sukran & Enes Y.
“I’ve known Sukran for years, and I can confidently say your pet would be in the best hands with them. They’re kind, patient, and truly love animals. I’ve seen the way they care for pets — with so much attention and affection. Whether it’s feeding, playtime, or just keeping them company, they always go the extra mile. I’d trust them with my own pet any day!”


9. Lori H.
“I am pleased to provide a testimonial for Lori as a pet sitter. Having been an animal lover for many years, Lori has dedicated 10 years to caring for cats in her home, and for the past few years, she has also been the proud owner of Gemma, her playful Shibu. Lori takes exceptional care of her pets and genuinely enjoys their company. Her natural affinity with animals is evident in her ability to follow instructions meticulously when pet sitting for others. Lori's three boys share her love for animals, creating a supportive environment for any pet in their care. With a flexible schedule, Lori is readily available to accommodate your needs, whether you have a cat or a dog. Her extensive experience with cats allows her to understand and cater to their needs effortlessly. I do recommend Lori as a pet sitter. Her passion for animals and her commitment to their well-being make her an excellent choice for anyone seeking reliable and loving care for their furry family members.”

About: I love pets and ever since I was little I was obsessed with them. I have watched over bunnies, hamsters, birds, and cats. But my favorite one of them all is my dog. We have had our little guy for about 3 years. He is a super happy and funny companion who will keep your dogs company alongside me. I am a college student and am currently available full time to take care of your pets. If there are any behaviors of which I should know, let me know ahead of time. On top of that if you want to tell me your dogs favorite scratching point that would be much appreciated. ( if not I’ll sherlock it anyway) I am currently home full time and therefore watching your dog is my 1st priority. It also gives me joy and excercise over the summer. Our first floor is quite big and has enough room for the dogs to play. My Pomeranian will also keep your dog company. My Pomeranian likes to sleep in my room in his crate. Your dog can sleep wherever they want and however they like it if they are potty trained. If not I would appreciate if a crate is brought along with the dog.


11. Madison L.
“Madison is a wonderful dog walker. She is reliable and takes great care of my quirky senior dog. He loves seeing her show up to the house. I would recommend her over and over again.”




12. Marisa I.
“Marisa is such a loving young woman to both people and animals alike. As long as I’ve known her, she’s had pets - dogs, fish, birds - and they live full and happy lives. She works with children daily, and proves to be a responsible caretaker with a heart of gold. 10/10 would recommend.”


13. Tonguc Baris Y.

“Baris was wonderful with my feathered and furry crew. I would definitely hire him again in the future and recommend him to anyone looking for help with their pets. He is professional, punctual and reliable and in general was great with my crew. Thank you again!”




14. Taylor S.
About: I was a pre-vet student in undergrad and have over 500 hours of experience volunteering and assisting at an animal clinic. I am experienced with giving medication including insulin shots which I have personally administered to our family dog for 8 years. I have a medium sized dog of my own who is very sweet and loves other pets. Since she’s a little older now, she may play with your pup or just snuggle next to them depending on their energy level. I like going on runs and walks and I am happy to bring your pup along with me if they are up to it. Your dog will receive lots of love and have fun. They will be able to let some energy out or just relax. I used to pet sit on rover a few years ago and took a break to focus on my career. I have extra time now and would love to care for your baby while you’re away. I usually am home by 3-4pm during the week and can go home at lunch to give a potty relief. On the weekends I am home full time. I typically do short walks in the morning and evenings with a longer walk in the middle of the day. If your dog needs potty breaks more frequently I can accommodate that. I allow dogs to free roam and on all furniture. If you prefer they are kenneled I also have a kennel they can use when I am not home. No one lives below me so they are free to jump around and have fun.


15. Chloe K.
“Chloe is just fantastic with our pets. We have 4 dogs a cat and one fish. She is very responsible,mature and caring We feel extremely comfortable leaving our pets is her hands !! Chloe is the best !!!!!”


16. Amanda L.

“Wow, first time using the Rover app and I absolutely struck gold with Amanda! I can’t speak highly enough of her! My normal cat sitter had an emergency while I was on vacation and she saved the day. I have two cats and one with special medical needs including insulin shots twice a day. To make things even more difficult my diabetic cat is very high anxiety and does not trust new people. Amanda was a calming presence, patient, and gentle with them. By the third day he was trusting her to give his necessary shots and medication (not an easy task!). Amanda was so easy to work with. I provided an absurd amount of feeding and care instructions and she followed everything perfectly! Her communication is top notch and was on time everyday as expected. If your reading this review waste no time and book Amanda for whatever pet needs you may have.”


17. Yasiris E.
“Yasiris is amazing with dogs, I have 4 dogs and I had her take care of them while I was on vacation for 2 weeks. She sent me videos and pictures and updates at all times which I highly appreciated. They loved her, they loved her company and were well behaved her which meant that they were very comfortable with her and her presence. She is definitely a great pick if you are looking for someone to watch your dogs! Highly recommended.”


18. Nicolette E.
“Nicolette is the most loving person in the entire world and she would treat your furr babies with love and care as if they were her own. You will be able to go away with the ease of knowing your animal will be fed, walked and kept nice and warm and with tons of toys to play with and treats! Nicolette is the best person for this because she is a HUGE animal lover and your baby’s are in the best hands.”


19. Leanne L.

“Leanne was great with Subie! She’s a very accommodating sitter. Thanks Leanne!”


20. Victoria C.
