“Amy is truly a dog whisperer! My very barky and unsure husky mix warmed up to her within a few minutes and has been great for all the visits. Our other dog, a little beagle, has been a cuddle machine with her. I would recommend Amy with 10 stars if I could. We are definitely having her back!”
“Paige was a fantastic sit in Rover for my cat Blinker! She left detailed notes with many photos that I looked forward to every morning while I was on vacation :) She also was very helpful to let in my maintenance tech and be kind to him! I will rebook next time!”
“Olivia was amazing with my year old GSP. She was punctual, friendly and enthusiastic during the initial meet and greet. Afterwards, she was always on time and even stayed a few minutes past the allocated 30 minute session just to make sure my pups needs were met. I highly recommend her for any of your pet watching needs.”
“Heather took great care of our kitties while we were gone for the weekend. Very communicative, friendly and took on our booking somewhat last minute. We really appreciate your great care. We will request to book with her again. Thank you!!”
“Thanks to Amelia I was able to fully enjoy an international vacation and not worry (too much) about Peepers while I was gone. The updates she sent me and pictures of her visits were so nice! I know by looking that Peepers really enjoyed HER vacation too! Thank you Amelia! I’ll be contacting you again 🥰😻”
“Great sitter, I will definitely be using Christy for my dog care needs. She is conscientious and caring, and I know Brown Dog was thrilled to see Christy every visit. Christy left wonderful report cards and I truly did not worry about Brown Dog at all while I was out of town!”
“Shannon has been so good to our doggies, 6 years old and 4 months old. She kept us updated with how they did and included pictures with each visit. She was responsible about resetting the security system each time she left. She’s thoughtful and pays attention to detail. We’d definitely recommend her!”
“Sandy has such sweet gentle energy. My pup loved her right away. She is always right on time and is a great communicator. Extra bonus for me that she has been available on short notice. Would definitely recommend and will be using her often I’m sure.”
“If I could give 10 stars I would. Ciboney is so incredible- we have two cats and fish and lots of plants. She’s so communicative and kind! We’re so grateful to have her take care of our little ones❤️”
“Emmerson did a great job with my big Belgian Malinois puppy who can be a lot to handle! He was very tidy and consistently sent updates and was always available to talk to.”

Currently working from home full time, plenty of extra time and energy for more animals in life. My hours are from 7-5 Monday through Friday.

“Anders is fantastic!! I have a disabled, senior dog with a degenerative disease and I was really worried about finding someone with the right experience to check up on him during the day while I’m at work, and Anders has been perfect. He’s very professional, understanding, and clearly compassionate about pets. My dog has a lot of special needs since he’s unable to support himself with his hind legs now, including diapers and needing to be cleaned up between changing to avoid UTIs, and Anders has been great about meeting those needs. It’s a huge relief to me knowing my dog is well looked after while I’m away. There was a tornado warning in the city today and I was really worried about my pets, but luckily it aligned with Anders’ check in and he made sure to message me about moving my dog to the basement for me. Otherwise, I would’ve been freaking out with worry all day. Thanks so much for your help, Anders!”
“Valeska is the best! She watched my dogs for me when I was on active duty. She adjusted the enrichment for the dogs based on the temperature outside — inside play and puzzles if it was hot, and fetch outside if it was cool enough. She always prioritizes their mental stimulation above all else. My dogs are skittish with new people and they warmed up quickly to her. I would recommend her to anyone!”
“Our pup Tango enjoyed his visits from Melody, complete with tug and belly rubs! Melody was attentive to his needs, taking care to complete all requested activities (lunch, potty, hang out) while she was there.”

I highly recommend her for Rover as many will love her and can trust her with their pets.”

Folwell pet parents share their Rover experiences
Anne did a terrific job of taking care of our two cats while we were out of town. Above and beyond the usual tasks of feeding them and cleaning out the litter box, she played with them, brushed them, and took cute pictures of them. We could tell from the pictures that they were happy while we were away, and could tell right away when we got home that they had been well cared for while we were gone. We'd definitely hire Anne again.
Meri was absolutely amazing. Went above and beyond in every aspect of care for our kitties. She took excellent care of our cats and our house, her communication was amazing, and it was obvious that she really cared about our girls. We are super happy and will definitely be booking with Meri again!
Samantha was amazing! She went above and beyond with our two cats. She did everything we asked and more. She was great at communicating the whole time and seems to have good experience with cats. We would highly recommend Samantha and would personally use her services again.
Katie is a fantastic cat sitter! She made our shy boys feel very comfortable - so much so that they were even cuddling and seeking her out for pets by the end of the week. We really appreciated how responsive and thoughtful Katie was throughout her whole process. She took time to get to know their routine and checked in with us regularly with updates. Katie goes above and beyond what is expected! We would love to have her take care of our cats in the future!
Raquel was amazing! She is very responsive, and we felt so comfortable having her take care of our two shy kitties. They warmed up quickly, and we really appreciated the updates she shared. We will definitely be going to her in the future for our cat sitting needs!
Kayla was absolutely exceptional! She is the first sitter we booked using Rover and will definitely be rebooking with her next time! She was an outstanding communicator with us and extremely attentive to our kitties while we were away. With every drop in, she provided details of how the check in went and what she and our cats got up to. She not only made sure they were okay while we were away, but made sure we felt comfortable being away. Very thankful to her and cannot recommend Kayla enough!
Holly was so great with our dog Laney! Laney is an old lady and Holly was able to get her on walks, eating her food (she doesn't always when we go out of town), and even playing with toys! Holly also helped with Laney's medicine while we were away. So helpful, we will definitely contact Holly again in the future!
