“Lucia was such a big help for the weekend! She has excellent communication and provided pictures the whole time. Shiloh loved getting to spend time with her during the visits. Super appreciative for your help and time!”
“Kathryn did an excellent job looking after my cat. She's a great communicator and sent lots of pictures/updates. I highly recommend her and would book again!”
“My pup was in the best hands possible with Rachel. In addition to the amazing care, incredible communication, and kindness, Rachel did me a huge favor in my last minute request for a sitter. I can't thank her enough.”
“We could not have asked for a better person to watch our two little ones when we went away for an extended period of time. Not only did she send amazing pictures and made sure they were getting enough love, but she was invaluable during a particularly stressful period of time when both of our cats automatic feeders went off-line, and we couldn’t figure it out remotely. Out of the kindness of her heart, she went back to our apartment multiple times to ensure that the cats were fed, she truly went above and beyond for them, and I can’t imagine asking anyone else to watch over our cats.”
“Mary does a wonderful job! Walks with my dog, gives lots of pets and attention to my cat and dog! Know they are excited to see her when I’m traveling.”
“Kim does a great job! Lily gets along so well with her. She burns a lot of energy during Kim’s visits and sleeps better at night. Kim is an excellent communicator and super friendly. So easy to work with. I’m very grateful to have her help caring for Lily!”
“Alisa was super sweet and wonderful with Rue! She found my place with no issues, followed instructions perfectly, and took great care of her. I really appreciated the updates and her warm energy. I would absolutely recommend her and would happily book again!”
“Riley was an absolute blessing! She was extremely communicative and was able to make sure Chester got every supplement and snack he needed. Dinner was on time and the litter box was clean! She made sure he got his exercise too and lots of love. I’m so grateful! Chester would love to see her again soon!”
“Madison was so professional, communicative, and friendly! She kept me up to date and went above & beyond to make sure Gus had a good visit. I’ll definitely be booking again, if she’ll have us!”
“Brittany did a great job this weekend. She is so attentive to our dogs needs and likes. I highly recommend her if your dogs are as big a part of your family as ours are.”
“Megan was wonderful with our two boys. Prompt and on scheduled with drop in visits, which was comforting because my dog takes pills around the clock. Would highly recommend”
“Pedro was the most perfect pet sitter for our cats! He is very caring, has extreme attention to detail and followed my instructions very carefully. One of my cats is overweight and I expressed my concern with her getting proper exercise, and Pedro made sure to send videos of her chasing the laser pointer, without me having to ask! I will definitely rebook with him in the future. Thank you so much for being a trusted sitter!”
“Lauryn is absolutely amazing!!!! And I think that’s an understatement!!! First of all, I found her on kind of short notice..and I am so incredibly grateful that she confirmed the booking right away! This was her first time taking care of Charlie and Cleo, and I can tell they fell in love with her (and vice versa) 🥹 we were gone for the longest time away from our babies (around 5 days!), but Lauryn took extra special care of them and was so patient. She was very communicative, and I absolutely loved the photos/videos she sent us! I would 1000% book Lauryn again - and highly, highly recommend her!”
“Tiffany is our go-to pet sitter! Keo loves his time with her, and she always goes above and beyond by staying longer than 30 minutes with him. I appreciate her making the time to take care of him and coming back multiple times a day. She's the best!”

“Grace was absolutely wonderful with my shy boy! He took to her immediately and really enjoyed having her company while I was out of town. Grace has the magic touch with cranky older cats! She also took great care to keep the space clean and tidy. I would absolutely recommend Grace and will definitely hire her again when we travel!”
First Ward pet parents share their Rover experiences
Megan was such an above and beyond cat-sitter. She came over to learn Wommy’s routine and checked in with us about his favorite toys, treats, and spots. Highly recommend if you are in need of a sitter that is put together and committed to making sure your pet has a great stay-cation.
Julia took such great care of my cat Frye 🥹 She followed every instruction perfectly and managed to gain my anxious and timid cat’s trust with each visit. She also kept me updated and gave great detail on how things were going. I’m so grateful and it was so nice to have my mind at ease knowing Julia was there.
Madison did a great job watching my two cats, Otis and Karate for a week. She sent me multiple pictures and updates, and even went out of her way to get more wet food for my cats when I ran out. I came home to very happy and well feed cats. She also swept up all the tracking litter so I came home to a clean floor (a nice bonus). Will definitely be using her again!!
Elizabeth is hands down the best pet sitter I’ve ever had. It’s such a relief knowing my pets were being well taken care of when I’m gone and I really appreciate all the pictures and updates she sends every visit. She’s the best! 100/10 would recommend her to anyone. Thanks Elizabeth!!!
Daniella did such a great job taking care of our cat while we were away for 5 days. She was very quick to respond to any messages and she was flexible and accommodating when I reached out last minute with a couple of extra requests. I’m so happy we found her and I would love to have her come watch our cat again!
Lilly has taken care of our cats 3 times now, and she's consistently fantastic! 10/10 would recommend. She's taken great care of our cats, and it's clear from the pictures she shares that our cats really look forward to her visits. Lilly also brought some packages inside that were delivered while we were out of town, which is above and beyond the responsibilities of a Rover sitter. We look forward to booking her services again!
