Kelli was a great cat-sitter for our three cats. She was dedicated and made sure to spend time with all of them. One of our cats needs medication twice a day and she was able to administer it to her easily. She also played with our two younger cats, who love attention. When we came home, they appeared well taken care of. Would definitely book her again!

This is the second time we’ve worked with Olivia and she’s lovely! She was super attentive to the kitties and the house - saved us a saga with burst pipes thanks to how thorough she is.

Sarah was an awesome cat sitter! She sent us adorable pics, navigated food related pickiness with ease, and was overall great to work with. Most important, we had a happy cat when we got home. Highly recommended!

About: I’ve grown up with all types of animals my entire life. From dogs and cats to birdies and bunnies, I love them all! I have been blessed to share life with my yorkie-poo for the past 14 years. I’ve had to learn how to give him daily oral medications, eye drops and ear drops to keep him healthy and lively! I’d give the same love, care and attention to your fur babies as well! I am currently working a flexible job so I’ll be able to care for your fur babies whenever you need me to! As long as it is not between the hours of 10am-1pm :) I currently live in a house with a brick-fenced in yard with 1 social senior pup (who doesn’t mind to be crated if need be) however I would love to care for your pet wherever they feel comfortable!

Melissa is so fantastic. She is flexible, responsive to communication, and great with animals. We got wonderful photos and updates when during her drop in visits with our cat Nora. We felt like Nora was in very good hands and that she had lots of fun with Melissa. We would definitely book Melissa again and would highly recommend her.

Dustin is the absolute best! It’s only because of him I was able to leave for two weeks and enjoy time with my loved ones for the holidays. He is trustworthy, consistent, and reliable. He was patient with my girl, Marshmallow, and accommodated to her needs. My family and I are so grateful for Dustin, and I plan to rebook him in the future.

About: I've looked after animals since I was a kid. I love cats and dogs alike and would look after them for loved ones and neighbors. I have a flexible schedule right now. I am currently looking for a more stable job but I have lots of experience working with animals and I know how to handle them with respect and safety. I like to visit the dogs in there own homes and take them for walks. I let to dog tell me what they need usually depending on energy levels. If they have a lot of energy I'll take them out longer or if they don't want to move I would take them as long as it took for them to relieve themselves and then I will engage them in play.

Jordan is an absolutely amazing sitter. She is wonderful with our cats who clearly feel safe around her and trust her. She is extremely thoughtful (both about the cats and the house) and very detail oriented. Everything she does is super thorough and she cares a great deal about the animals. She thinks through every detail, anticipates problems, and offers to solve them before we even think of them. Her updates show careful insight into the cats' individual behaviors and personalities. She left the house cleaner than when she found it, with the cat areas spotless. She is kind and a lovely person to interact with. We were very grateful for her work-- it allowed us to take a trip in peace, knowing our cats were well cared for.

About: What sets me apart is the genuine love and attention I give to every pet as if they were my own. I have experience with dogs of all ages—from playful puppies to sweet senior dogs who need a little extra TLC. I’m patient, reliable, and attentive to each pet’s unique needs, whether it’s administering medication, sticking to a specific routine, or just providing tons of cuddles and playtime. I’m also active, so energetic pups will get plenty of exercise and outdoor time! I work from home, which means I’m able to give pets consistent attention and care throughout the day. Whether it’s regular potty breaks, playtime, or just keeping them company while I work, I love having pets around—it makes my day better! My flexible schedule allows me to stick closely to their routine and be fully present for walks, feeding, and any special needs they might have. Pet care fits naturally into my lifestyle, and I genuinely enjoy it. At my home, pets have plenty of space to relax and play! I have a yard for fresh air and outdoor time, and I’m lucky to live near two parks—perfect for walks, exercise, and a little adventure. I keep a clean, calm environment and tailor the care to each pet’s needs, whether that’s sticking to a feeding schedule, giving medication, or providing lots of love and attention. I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and part of the family while they’re with me.

Crystal was truly a miracle worker with my boy Dino. He became a bit stressed after a recent vet visit and then more so after I wasn’t home. Thanks to Crystal I had no worries. She reassured me after each visit with plenty of updates and photos. She went above and beyond the call of any sitter to keep Dino safe, clean and comfortable.

Mikayla and Justin are simply great. They took great care of my dog Thelma, who can be very skiddish as she is a rescue. Mikayla and Justin spent ample time letting Thelma warm up to them before taking her out for a walk. I would 10/10 recommend them for any pet care and I will definitely be booking them again for Thelma!

Have asked Daniela to come visit and let our dogs out a couple times. She does a great job. She communicates well! And makes sure the dogs have everything they need. They seem to love her! She is very good with them. We are happy to have her care for our dogs when we are not there

Sarah did great with my cat! My cat is an excitable one-year-old with a strong penchant for some rougher play, so he can be a tricky cat to watch. I was really impressed with the way Sarah adapted to my cat’s moods, and figured out how to manage his quirks even just over the course of a weekend. I would absolutely trust Sarah with my cat again.

Kelli was fantastic. My shy cat Max always hid when other cat sitters would visit to feed him in the past. The transitions from being alone to our return were always stressful, with a skittish, clingy boy cat. Kelli gently coaxed Max out from the beginning and gave him attention. He looked calm and happy in the Rover pix. When we returned he was definitely happy to see us, but was also calm and well adjusted. Thank you, Kelli!

Had such a great experience with Melissa this weekend! While she had walked Nala in the past, this was the first time she stayed over while we were away. Not surprisingly she took amazing care of Nala and was so attentive, especially with her post-op care, and kept us updated, it truly meant a lot to us. It gave us real peace of mind knowing Nala (and our home!) were in such good hands. We’d absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone kind, reliable, and trustworthy!

Azeen was amazing with my cat!! She took such great care of her, and I can tell my cat really liked her. My cat is very affectionate and kind of annoying about it (i.e. always begging for attention), but Azeen was wonderful with her and gave her plenty of attention. She sent a lot of great pictures of them hanging out, playing, and her brushing my cat (which she loves). She even spent time trying to debug my litter robot when it decided to act up, and set up a backup litterbox when that became necessary. She did the dishes even though I told her it was okay not to, and she generally kept my home very tidy. Most importantly, I had piece of mind knowing she was taking great care of my cat!! Also had very easy and timely communication. I would definitely recommend her and will be booking again.

Phoenix was hands down the best pet sitter we have had through rover (or otherwise). He was on time, attentive to all our cats needs, provided thorough updates, and made sure our cats got love while we were out of town! We will definitely be booking him in the future and you’ll be lucky if he is available to care for your pets.
