1. Kerry M.
“Kerry was wonderful! She was super responsive, personable and I never had a doubt that all was well with my 3 kittys while I was away. Thank you Kerry for everything! I would highly recommend booking her for your next trip. I know I will. 🩷”

“Great job again”
3. Jahada-Heaven G.
“We always appreciate how helpful Jahada is and how wonderfully she takes care of our pets while we’re away. Our cat warmed up to her quickly and we loved all the photos. Thank you again!”
4. Christian D.
“This was our 2nd timing hiring Christian to care for our 18 year old cat who needs subcutaneous fluids a few times a week, plus needs a pill, food, water, etc. He also fed and watered our non-high maintenance 3 year old cat. Christian was prompt, gentle and professional, but was firm and confident in administering subcutaneous fluids (as you'd expect from a professional vet tech). We are thrilled that it worked out so well and we'll definitely hire Christian again.”
5. Autumn K.
“Autumn was AMAZING! I highly recommend her! I am a crazy cat lady and have never used Rover before or had anyone other than family take care of my two cats while I have been away. This trip I needed someone last minute and she was so helpful and made the process so easy. I totally felt comfortable leaving them in her care and she did an incredible job communicating with me and taking great care of them! I will certainly be using her again and would recommend anyone in her area does the same. Thanks, Autumn!”
6. Gwen T.
“Repeat customer here. Gwen was a huge help with my 16 year old cat Polly. While away, we got a notification that our power went out. It was easy to get in touch with Gwen through the Rover App to discuss the situation. She made sure Polly was safe and secure during the outage and even asked if there was anything else she could do for us during her drop in visit. I’m so glad that Gwen was available to watch Polly while we were away; I could rest assured that Polly was in good hands.”
7. Amanda S.
“Kind and efficient. Took care of my fur babies while I was away for a couple of days. Recommended.”
8. John G.
“Our cat has fallen in love with John! She is normally very shy but he immediately won her over. He is very polite, friendly, and professional. This is the second time we schedule the in-house visits with him and we are so happy to have found the perfect person to take care of our little one.”
9. Alisha C.
“Loved Alisha! She came before to meet Spitfire and do a quick walk through. She was very thorough and detailed with her updates. I really felt at ease not being home knowing my baby was in good hands with Alisha.”
10. Anessa H.
“Anessa has been our dog sitter for a year. She is reliable, trustworthy and amazing with our pets. Not only does she take the dogs out for walks, she also sits and plays with them so that they feel loved and attended to. She helps with feeding schedules as well as our cats. She has stayed at our home during long vacations so the animals have normalcy and human contact throughout the day and night. I highly recommend her for all of your pet sitting needs.”
11. Alicia W.
“Alicia was great! Punctual and spent time with our pup! Thank u Alicia!”
12. Jessica W.
About: I have taken care of animals my entire life. I grew up on a farm. Raised all sorts of animals. I worked at an animal sanctuary during the pandemic and it was the most rewarding job I ever had. I am a pet owner myself and would love to meet new fur friends. I am an active person. I take my dogs and sometimes our ferret on daily walks. Our animals need exercise and fresh air just as much as we do. That all depends on the pet. Each of them has their quirks and special needs and attention. I find that animals are a great judge of character and you treat them just as you would anyone else. I am attentive and affectionate. I also love playtime with them. Seeing their face light up is everything.
13. Traci C.
“Traci was amazing! Very accommodating and loving to my pug. I def will use her again and again! I even recommended her to my neighbor. Wendy”
14. Kim H.
“My cats love Kim. I can leave home and know they are in excellent hands.”
15. Kristin B.
“Thank you Kristin for taking care of my boys. You are immensely helpful”
16. Astrid S.
“Astrid was amazing. She took great care of our elderly cat while we were away. I loved seeing all the pictures she would send twice a day. She eased my mind knowing he was in great hands. Would highly recommend Astrid for any of your pet needs. Thank you again for your great service.”
17. Jeimmy V.
“If you can choose Jeimmy V. Do it! She is the sweetest, reliable, communicative, experienced pet sitter. We enjoyed our time away because we had full confidence in Jeimmy to take good care of our babies! Will definitely book with Jeimmy again!”
18. Steph K.
“Thanks Steph for checking in on the cats and making sure they have everything they need!!! We will definitely rebook with you in the future 😊”
19. Kayla C.
About: I was the primary caretaker for a dog for 13 years and now I have 2 cats! They were all well taken care of !! My schedule is very flexible! I’m open most mornings/afternoons and certain nights a week! I always have Sundays off from work as well as one other day to take care of your pets! I would love to drop in and take care of your pet or take them on a much needed walk. They will absolutely get my full attention
20. Jasmine C.
