2. Sun S.


“Sun was a fantastic sitter who took great care of our senior kitty while we were away! She made friends with our cat and made her feel so loved! She took tons of photos, and gave us updates about Claudia’s activity during visits. Highly recommend!”




3. Danielle T.


“Danielle is amazing!!! She is so attentive to our puppy that we consider our furry kiddo. I have confidence that when we arrange for her to come by while my husband and I are at work that our puppy is well cared for with love and close attention to his needs! ”


4. Becky H.

“Becky went above and beyond in taking care of our cats. She was incredibly communicative, quickly responded to our cats' many antics, and was attentive to every detail of their care. Because of her great sense of humor, we were excited every time a new Rover card was posted, where her love and care for our cats was apparent. It can be hard to leave your pets with a stranger, but we felt completely at ease knowing that Becky was taking care of them. We would recommend her to all pet parents looking for a reliable and conscientious sitter.”


5. Laura J.

“Laura did a great job keeping us up to date with our kitty's movements when we left him alone for the holidays! Her check in summaries made it clear she was paying him special attention and had captured his personality perfectly. The pictures and narrative made us miss him a little less and we appreciate everything she did to make Monty feel less alone!”


6. Malia K.

“Malia was an absolute rockstar. Our kitties are usually pretty wary of new sitters but they warmed up to her right away. She was prompt and sent the cutest pics!”


7. Michelle T.

“Thanks Michelle for taking good care of Joey on short notice. Really appreciate your help!”


8. Kaitlyn D.

“Kaitlyn was great with my very social cat Haggis while I was away. She came to my place twice a day to feed and hang out with him, and make sure he got the attention/affection that he needed. I will definitely book Kaitlyn again.”




9. Laura B.


“Laura was great. This is the first time we've used a sitter and she was super communicative and put my worries at ease. We got lots of pictures and updates and both cats seemed more relaxed when we got home then when we've left them in the past. I highly recommend her!”


10. Joel S.
“Joel stepped in to care for our fur-baby during a very difficult time when she had just come out of surgery and we had to be out of town for business commitments. Leaving our pup was one of the most difficult things to do, but I now truly believe that Joel cared for our girl better than we ever could have. His meticulous attention to her and her needs, from managing her pain, medication, bathroom needs, and providing regular communication and updates to us is something I will be eternally grateful for. There is quite literally no one I trust more to provide the highest level of care, attention, and love to any pet needing either general or specialized care. Joel has a massive heart and a deep love for animals, which is evidenced even more by how much animals LOVE him! If you are needing care for your pet, I can’t recommend Joel enough!”


11. Claire G.
“As Claire's former roommate, I can confidently say she is an exceptional pet caregiver. Claire has grown up around dogs, which has given her a natural understanding of their needs and behaviors. During our time living together, she also catsat for several cats in our home and treated each one with patience and care. Claire has a calm and loving demeanor that puts animals at ease, and she always goes the extra mile to make sure they feel safe, happy, and comfortable. I wholeheartedly recommend Claire to anyone looking for a reliable, compassionate, and attentive pet sitter.”




12. Samuel J.
“Sam is super reliable, very compassionate, and a great listener who will always take care to understand your pet’s personality and individual needs. You will love him!”


13. Jiayi Z.

“I can’t say enough great things about Jiaya! She has been amazing with my dog, Nugget, for both drop-in visits and walks. She is reliable, professional, and truly cares about the well-being of him😊. I always get updates and photos, which give me peace of mind knowing Nugget is in great hands. He comes back happy and well-exercised every time. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog walker!”


14. Jing Wen K.

“Jing Wen is lovely and was very patient and understanding with my spicy kitties. After meeting her, I knew they would be in good hands.”


15. Sandee C.

“Sandee was great! She was very communicative and interactive with our 2 cats while we were away for the week! We felt confident with Sandee that our cats were in good hands and would definitely recommend her! Thank you!”


16. Anna-Christine L.
About: Hi there! I’m Anna, a passionate animal lover with a lifelong connection to dogs and pets of all kinds. While I’m new to Rover, I’m certainly not new to caring for and training dogs. I’ve raised three puppies to adulthood and even worked as a dog trainer in the past. Fun fact: I’ve also trained small animals like gerbils, chipmunks, and sugar gliders! Currently, I don’t have a dog in my life and deeply miss the joy of being around these amazing companions. That’s why I’m excited to be on Rover—to help care for your dog and share some wonderful outdoor adventures! My Approach: I’m a firm believer in positive reinforcement and consistent training. I’ll happily align with your training methods during our walks and ensure your pup gets mental stimulation alongside physical activity. Every pet is unique, and I’m committed to accommodating their specific needs—so feel free to share any special requests or routines! A Bit About Me: By day, I work in a technical field, but my heart belongs to the great outdoors. Whether hiking, long-distance walking, biking, or rucking, I love exploring the beauty around us. I’ll bring this energy to every walk, ensuring your pup has a fun, fulfilling experience. I can’t wait to meet you and your furry friend—let’s go on an adventure together! 😊 I currently offer dog walking, house sitting, and check-ins, as I also work full-time in a technical field. That said, I have flexibility in my work hours and will do my best to accommodate your and your pet's needs. As an avid walker and hiker, I’d love to bring your pup along for some fun outdoor adventures! My schedule is fairly flexible, so feel free to reach out—let’s work together to find the best arrangement for you and your furry friend. I’m a punctual person and will always aim to arrive a bit early so I have time to greet your dog and ensure they feel comfortable before we head out for our walk. It’s important to me that your pup is relaxed and ready for the adventure ahead.


17. Matt S.
About: I'm a lifelong lover of animals, and I grew up with several cats and dogs, as well as having experience with hedgehogs and rats. I have immense patience in situations that require a calm environment for training, de-escalation, etc. Proud parent of a 3 year old pitbull mix rescue. I'm primarily a theatre, film, and voiceover artist, so my schedule is very flexible during the day for all kinds of jobs, including pet care. My dog has a fear of other dogs, which we're working on through a trainer, so I keep her on a leash whenever we're outside of the home. For clients, whatever is most comfortable for them is my top priority.


18. Joshua S.

“Thank you!!”


19. Emilia M.

“Emilia was so wonderful! She was so easy to communicate with, and she went above and beyond to give us great updates, care for our cats along with feeding them, and care for our home. I highly recommend her!”


20. Heather S.
“Heather is truly exceptional when it comes to caring for and training dogs. Not only does she have a deep understanding of doggy body language, but her ability to connect with them is amazing. She has a natural gift for reading their cues and creating a safe, positive environment where they feel comfortable and understood. I’ve seen firsthand how she goes above and beyond for my dogs: Karter, Renfrow, and Lady. Heather’s patience, kindness, and genuine love for animals shine through in everything she does. My dogs absolutely adore her, and I trust her completely to provide the best care. I couldn’t ask for a better trainer or caregiver for my fur babies.”
