1. Karsyn R.
“Karsyn is reliable, responds quickly, and provides detailed updates while we're away. We've booked her to care for our cat multiple times and will definitely plan to book with her again! Thanks Karsyn!”
2. Rebecca S.
“Becky provided exceptional care for my cat, Peanut, while I was away. She went above and beyond by not only feeding and cleaning the litter box, but also collecting my mail and playing with my cat. I was impressed with her attention to detail and the level of care she showed towards my cat. I definitely recommend giving her a chance.”
3. Julia R.
“Julia has been SUCH a huge help to me with my dog Payton. She’s very responsive, reliable, kind, sends the cutest pics while I’m away at work and takes amazing care of P. I would recommend her for any service you may need :)”
4. Jessica H.
“Jessica did an outstanding job with our kittens! My partner and I tend to get anxious when we leave our cats for a handful of days, but when Jessica watched them we felt nothing but comforted. She sent great updates explaining how she would play with the cats, told us how well they ate their food and sent photos each visit! We strongly recommend her for anyone curious and we would have her watch our cats again in an instant. Thank you again, Jessica!”
5. Berenice B.
“Berenice was consistent and kept my cats from guessing at what time they will eat and get some cuddles. I appreciate this because they do not like change. She communicated via Rover only which was a bit hard because of where we were so next time I will insist on getting texts instead if possible. She was also very responsive when I asked her to do something.”
6. Alexy & Dylan G.
“My cats, particularly Simba was very happy with Alexy and Dylan. I appreciate all the pictures they sent, and how they communicated. We had a little communication trouble at the beginning but it was all solved right away. Leaving instructions I believe helped as they have several clients. They were always on time and did what I asked for. The box, the dishes, and everything was perfect when we arrived. We would book Alexy and Dylan again.”
7. Courtney B.
“Courtney was FANTASTIC with my puppy Ivy! Not only did she go above and beyond with her care of my pup, but she communicated with me about my own wants/ needs with training and the well being of Ivy. We hope to continue to use Courtney as long as she will let us! Thanks Courtney! ☺️”
8. Reilly R.
“Reilly did an amazing job watching our cat Marvin while we were out of the country. She was very responsive, and sent frequent updates and photos/videos during her visits. It was really great not having to worry about Marvin while we were gone, knowing he was in good hands with Reilly! I'd highly recommend Reilly to anyone here on Rover!”
9. Edgar O.
“Edgar has looked after my pets many times. Not only does my shy cat love Edgar, she comes out of her shell around him. I would definitely say he’s a cat whisper. Edgar has always taken the absolute best care of my cats and dog! I would recommend him to everyone I know!”
10. Mary & Joe O.
“I work 2nd shift and Mary comes over to let my dog out while I am away. She is trustworthy and my dog is always very happy to see her.”
11. Markita H.
“Markita was excellent-gave lots of great care and attention to my cats and great communication. I appreciate that she makes sure to know your exact communication and update preferences since many owners may differ on the level of detail and specificity of updates on the visits. I definitely will be a repeat customer!”
12. Lilyia S.
“Great rover! Showed up on time and left detailed report cards!”
13. Jessica B.
“Jessica was great. My dog appeared to really take to her. She even went far above what she had to do. She kept a good eye on his overall well being too. I will plan to use her again for any of my future trips.”
14. Danielle F.
“Danielle has taken care of my pup several times now and always does a great job!”
15. Linsey C.
“Lindsey was great with our cats! They warmed up to her quickly and got lots of play time. The litter boxes, water dishes and food were all well maintained and we are glad she was able to care for our kitties while we were away.”
16. Jill P.
“Second time using Jill as our pet sitter. She was great with our kitty!”
17. Blythe R.
“My dog adores Blythe ever since his first stay with her! She is super flexible and gives lots of updates. She’s my new first choice of dog sitter!”
18. Adelle W.
“Adelle was truly amazing! She has incredible communication, and is very thorough. She made every effort to make sure my kitties felt comfortable with her while I was away. Can’t recommend her enough!”
19. Briceida P.
“I have so much trust in Bri to love on and take care of my babies - aka two high-maintenance, adorably fluffy and hangry cats - while on extended leave from home. Bri is incredibly responsible, responsive and trusted to not only be in my home, but to ensure my pets are cared for while I’m away. She is truly the best!”
20. Crystal R.
“Crystal is the most professional and attentive sitter I’ve ever had! She can handle all special needs and routines. She really cares and goes above and beyond. I also appreciated the detailed updates- absolutely recommend!”
