1. Kara G.

“Kara was wonderful! We hired her to drop in and feed our two cats dinner and give our one cat medication. Not only did she do that, but she stayed to play with them, clean their litter box, and sent us plenty of pictures during and after the visit. She was very communicative before, during and after her visit. I would recommend Kara to anyone looking for someone to drop in on their cats. Thank you so much Kara!”

“I want no other sitter. Just Janice. She is spectacular - professional, kind, and reliable. My cats are rather shy, and took to her immediately! It speaks to her character - sweet and trustworthy. Can’t recommend her enough! Thank you Janice!”

“Jeannette followed instructions that were provided! She was very thorough with her questions when we did a meet and greet. Would book with Jeannette again 👍”


7. Gracie N.

“Gracie watched our two corgis for a week while we were on vacation. She was very professional and came over twice to meet the pups before we left, because it was her first time with them and we usually have family watch them. We received a nice update with pictures each time she came to feed and walk them. They always looked so happy! We felt very comfortable with her and our dogs loved her. I wouldn’t hesitate to use her again or recommend to anyone.”

“Jazmin was great! She was very thorough and took great care of my cats. She also went out of her way to meet the cats and learn the best way to take care of them. I highly recommend 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!”


10. Toni P.

“Toni was absolutely amazing with my cat, Casserole. She sent me photos and updates every day, and would hide extra treats for her to find and enjoy throughout the day. I felt reassured that my cat was well cared for while I was away. I can’t recommend Toni enough!”


11. Joseph G.

“Joey was communicative, reliable, and extremely caring with my cat and dog during a short weekend getaway. He sent lots of pictures with each walk/visit, which eased any worries that my babies were missing me too much. They both were happy, healthy and excited to see me upon my return, which tells me that they were well cared for and not anxious in my absence. Will request his help with my pets in the future!”


12. Stephanie Z.

“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.”


13. Liz V.

“Liz was so wonderful with my cats and dog! They were so happy to see her every time she came to take care of them. And she sent me regular updates and was quick to communicate with me!”


14. Violeta R.
“Violeta is an animal lover and often helps various animals obtain their loving homes by engaging in community outreach programs. Violeta has animals herself and takes care of all their physical and emotional needs. She is a genuine pet lover and will be a successful pet caregiver within the community in the near future.”




15. Colleen R.
“Colleen always watches my puppy for me and I never have to worry. I know she’s in great hands every time she has her for me. My dog is always extremely excited to go over and stay at Colleen’s house. They go on plenty of walks and play constantly! I’m so thankful to trust someone as much as I do with my dog.”


16. Joelle H.

“I am so grateful to Joelle for accommodating my last minute request! She was great with my cat who is sually shy but warmed up to her immediately and left my apartment cleaner than when I left it. Hoping to book again in the future!”


17. Julie H.

“Julie is very friendly and personable. The dogs lived her immediately. I’m glad we found this connection. We don’t use dog sitters often but when we do, we’ll be sure to call Julie.”


18. Emma C.

“Since using the Rover app both Emma and Josh have been fantastic!! My family and I did not worry once about our dog Bohdi or our late Barney. We knew that the dogs were in good hands while we were away.”
