“Meghan is amazing and all over her time stamps are so detailed, they make me laugh as she describes our pups personalities so well! Thank you as always Meghan, we appreciate you more than you know!”
“Super communicative and very sweet to talk with!! Updated daily with pictures and made effort to engage with both of my cats! My cats seemed comfortable with her and I will definitely utilize her again.”
“Breanna is so sweet with my kitties and provides thorough updates which is comforting when I’m away from home. Would highly recommend her to anyone needing a sitter.”
“Dani is wonderful! We are so thankful to have someone come and check on our girl while we’re at work! She give us total piece of mind. Would recommend Dani to anyone in the area! Professional and kind! Thank you!”
“Caroline went above and beyond for us when our vacation turned tragic with the sudden illness and passing of my grandmother-in-law that required multiple changes of plans to accommodate the changing situation. She was extremely flexible when our vet informed us that she recommends daily visits rather than every two days after a behavioural checkup right before our trip. Then, there was Grandma’s situation, where Caroline quickly accommodated adding one more day, and then, as the situation progressed, went to great lengths to ensure we were covered no matter what for an additional 3 days. Not only that, but she gave Lucy plenty of love and ensured she was well taken-care-of. To top it all off, she also took the cutest photos and brought in our packages. House was super clean when we got back. We’ll definitely be using her again”
About: I have experience with many kinds of animals. I look forward to hopefully meeting your baby in the future! Animals have always been a special part of my life: My schedule is very flexible! Your pets routine is the most important thing to me! I am more than willing to work with the client on the best time! Whatever I need to do to keep your dog happy, healthy, and safe is my top priority. If your pet is comfortable in the crate, then I will use the crate. I do not feel comfortable bringing your dog to a dog park.
“Julianna was wonderful! She was communicative, quick to respond, and right on time for Georgia’s drop-in visits. She took great care of our pup and sent us the sweetest pictures and updates while we were away. We felt completely at ease knowing Georgia was in good hands and can’t wait to book with her again!”
“Tammy was a great sitter for our cat Oliver. He seemed to really love his time with her. We will definitely be using Tammy again the next time we are away. Thank you Tammy!”
About: Animals have always had a special place in my heart. My journey started with pet sitting for neighbors, friends, and family in middle school and grew to volunteering at local animal shelters and working in a boarding kennel to currently working as a vet assistant while at school, pursing a pre-veterinary science degree, giving me experience with animals of all shapes, sizes, and temperaments. At home I have a 14 year old beagle/boston terrier named Pepper who I just adore. I cannot wait to share my experience and love for animals with your pets while you are away :) As am currently home from school for the summer, my schedule is very open to care for your pets, so I am sure we would be able to work something out. I cannot wait to spend my summer caring for new furry friends!! I understand that it can be strange for our pets when a new person comes in the house, so I encourage owners to reach out to schedule a meet and greet so I can meet your four legged friends before you are gone, making the process less stressful for everyone involved.
“This was our first time working with Raquel, and it went very well. She stopped by to spend an hour with our two dogs, Tate and Penny, well also feeding them and giving them lots of love. Raquel was very good communicator, was on time, and provided photographs of her time with our dogs. We are really excited that we found Raquel and look forward to having her spend more time with our dogs, Tate and Penny in the future. If anyone’s looking for a five star Pet Sitter on Rover Raquel‘s your gal!”
“Haley took great care of our dog over this Holiday weekend. I would recommend her to anyone in need of pet sitting. She was on time for all of our requested drop in visits, sent pics and even brought a package in for us.”
“Paz did a great job. She pays very close attention to detail, even going so far as to take lots of notes during our meet and greet. My dog is reactive so needs special care around other dogs. Paz followed my directions and safely navigated around the problems. She was also willing to take care of my dog despite having a sudden bout of diarrhea that started the day before her visit. Lots of pictures and excellent communication.”

Essington cat parents share their Rover experiences
Robyn was absolutely phenomenal! I was going away on a work trip and feeling a bit anxious about leaving my kitties for an extended period of time as I was going cross-country. This was the first time I was doing this along with using a cat sitter. At the suggestion of a dear friend, I signed up for Rover and Robyn put me at ease immediately. From our first meetup, I knew I made a great decision. She was very thorough in taking pictures and checking in with me and also followed my directions I left for her. I also noted her thoughtfulness and attention to detail and care. She treated my cats with dignity and love and even my dad was in awe of what a great job she was doing in my absence. I will definitely use Robyn’s services again! She is a gem and Rover is so lucky to have her!
Ashley was wonderful. I am very happy we hired Ashely to look after our cat while we were away; she is reliable, provides photo updates, and she appeared to express real affection for our cat, which enabled us to relax knowing that Finn was cared for in our absence.
i have 100% confidence and trust in chelsea and john. they're the best! they really go above and beyond to ensure that our cat is well taken care of while we're away. the level of communication they provide is exceptional. basically, we couldn't ask for more. we're already repeat customers of chelsea/john and will continue to be. thank you so much!!
