“Stephanie was my first pet sitter with Rover, and I was really apprehensive about leaving my cat for 2 weeks. Stephanie not only went above and beyond to reassure me, but she was flexible with the booking and checking on my house while I was away. She provided detailed updates with plenty of pictures, followed all instructions, and exceeded expectations. My normally skittish cat took to Stephanie immediately, which I know had to do with Stephanie, because she didn’t come out for anyone else that stopped by the house. I had a wonderful experience, and would definitely request Stephanie for any future pet sitting needs.”
“Toni was amazing. This is the first time I've gone away and not worried at all about my 3 cats. She sent tons of pictures and videos after I told her I loved seeing them, and she gave me a great summary everyday about how they were doing. I would recommend her to anyone!!”
“Highly recommend Joelle! She took great care of my two cats 🐈⬛🐈⬛. Dependable, on time, and gave detailed updates. She had no issues giving meds to my one cat. Thanks so much, Joelle! 😺”
“Emily C. was punctual, extremely pleasant personality, great communication skills and in an extremely timely manner. She was great with our cats and we would love to have her for all our future needs. I will also be glad to refer her if that would be helpful to her.”
“Rita was fantastic! She was able to help take care of my cats last minute and I could tell they were well cared for! She left great photos and recaps of her visits. Would definitely recommend and will certainly use again!”
“She is so kind and friendly with my babies, and she always shares photos of them while playing, which really warms my heart! I’ll definitely hire her as my cats’ sitter from now on!”
“Liz was so amazing with both my kitties. Gave me peace of mind that they were loved and well taken care of while I was gone. She was super responsive and went above and beyond. Will definitely book again in the future!”
“You always worry when you get a new pet sitter. My regular sitter was out of town. I returned to Rover to hire Shannon and she was amazing ! I know my cats are kinda untrusting with new people ( except one of them ). Shannon followed all my instructions, gave me photo updates and my kitties & I are super happy! Would hire her again in a heartbeat. Thank you so much for amazing house visits Shannon! 💕”
“Christa was wonderful! She takes pet care very seriously and constantly kept us updated on how our cat was doing while we were out of town with pictures and check-ins about his behavior. 10/10 will hire again. ?”
“Adriene was AMAZING with our two dogs, Chole and Luna! She gave them such love and attention. She communicated with us while we were away. This made us feel so comfortable. We knew they girls were being well cared for. We highly recommed Adriene!”
