“Great communicator, reliable, and most importantly, our dog loves her! This was our second time Jennifer looked in on our Lexi for us, and we will continue to book with her so long as she is available.”


“Nicol of course took care of our cats food, water, and litter needs, but the social time she spent with them was invaluable. One of our cats is very skittish and hides whenever anyone comes over, but Nicole was the first person he would come out to meet and be petted by.”


“Bianca went above and beyond had two trips back to back and one last minute and she said yes without hesitation. Communicative, attentive with my fur baby. Very recommended. I will definitely use her services again.”


“I’m glad we found Emma on rover! The care and consideration she gave our cats was unmatched. You can tell she truly cares for others animals and made sure our two cats had everything they needed and more. Thank you for your kindness, Emma!”


“Jenna and Caroline are truly amazing with your fur babies!!! As someone who has two high energy pit mixes, it can be a bit nerve racking trying to find someone who not only has experience with the breed, but truly understands them. During our meet and greet it was immediately obvious that these two knew what they were doing and how to handle Stark and Sansa. Both of my pups were well taken care of and I am beyond thankful for the level of care they received. Will definitely be booking again!”


“Tina has been absolutely amazing! This was our first time using Rover and she made us feel so comfortable. She sent us updates with pictures and took very good care of our fur baby! I HIGHLY recommend Tina and will be using her again when we go out of town!!! Thank you, Tina!!”

“Troy is just an outstanding young man who no doubt is going to be successful at whatever he chooses to do. My 75 lb. Pitbull Scraps absolutely loves Troy and Troy is great with him. Troy is always punctual as well as flexible. He’s almost like a son to our family 🥰”



“Marcus was great! He does great with teddy who can be a handful, is always communicative and sends lots of pictures and videos. He was even able to accommodate my last minute trip for the holiday with no problem! Have booked him before and will definitely be booking him again!”


“Karla made our first experience using Rover a great one! She was very communicative from the start and shared updates and pictures each day. She was also prompt to check on our cat at the agreed upon time each day. Highly recommend her and we’re planning to reach out again for future trips we take :)”


“Thank you so much Abi! Great service and communication all around. Very patient with my fur baby and everything was perfect. You are amazing and I appreciate you caring for Piggy! Will definitely book again as I already have sent a request! ❤️”


About: I will treat your pet as I would expect my own to be treated. I have knowledge in animal nutrition, senior care and even post surgery care. I will follow your instructions and ensure your pet is safe and happy while you are away! I currently work Monday-Friday during the day and am looking to help people who need a hand in the evenings and on weekends. I can also help out with early mornings most days. Whether I am house sitting, going for a walk or just doing a drop-in visit, I will adhere to any instructions that you leave me. If there are multiple pets, each one will get the love and attention that it deserves. Your pet/s will be carefully supervised. Your pet's happiness and care is my number one priority always!

“I needed someone to watch my pet bird last minute and Rylie was able to help. She was very professional and did an excellent job! I highly recommend her to anyone and will book with her again. 5 stars!!”


About: I am currently a dog walker and have worked at shelters since I was 13. I love animals more than I love anything on Earth. Time spent with dogs is time well spent. My passion in this world is to take care of animals and make sure that they are the happiest they can possibly be at all times. I hope to one day open my own dog boarding facility where I can fulfill my dreams. I love dogs of all shapes and kinds. I have dealt with special needs dogs, senior dogs, sick dogs, etc. I am friendly and enthusiastic. I would treat your pet like my own at all times and love it like I would mine. Please ask me any questions you may have! I work a full time job at a local pet store, but have plenty of time before and after shifts that I can make myself available for your pet needs. I love doing drop in visits and dog walks for my clients. I get to bring a little bit of fun to the pets day and still fit that into my daily schedule.

About: I have been dog sitting/dog washing since a young age. Growing up around animals, I’m very comfortable and confident I can provide your fur baby with all the love it may need as well as the safety they require. I am currently self employed as a professional tattooer of 5 years. Being self employed, I am disciplined, motivated and confident. I provide quality work for my clients and my attention to detail makes me confident I can care for your pet. Another benefit to being self employed is choosing my own hours. If you are worried about your fur baby being alone for too long, don’t fret. I am happy to provide quality time with your pet when I’m not with my clients. I have a fenced in yard and two friendly dogs to keep your fur baby company. I live in a nice quiet neighborhood where we take walks along the river frequently. For cats, I have multiple rooms in my house they can relax in if they aren’t a fan of dogs but my dogs are very calm and nonchalant. I have cats of my own who are used to the foster/TNR lifestyle I have and are very relaxed around new animals.

About: I am very kind with them i think animals are part of my family, i have dogs in my country long time ago chihuahuas and Germán shepper I am available all days also on weekends I live in a nice médium apartment with large green áreas around, I have a birds as pets I have two kids that love animals, i have also a big crate also i have a médium balcony and big living room for pets

Forest Hills pet parents share their Rover experiences
Thank you Trace for all that you do! Trace goes above and beyond during check ins - thoughtful, communicative, and considerate, I truly couldn’t imagine a better cat sitter. Trace was the first sitter I booked on Rover and I’ve become a repeat client since then! Jasper loves his hang time with Trace, and knowing he’s in good hands when I go out of town is a relief every time ☺️ Thank you again!

Sophia did a great job with our wild boy Banjo! It was a hot day so outside fun is limited. Sophia played one of Banjo's favorite games with him and he was obviously very happy for the company. We would love to have her back in the future. Thanks Sophia! (he howled after you left), that's a compliment

This was our second time booking Alexandra to care for our kitty, Holly, in our home, and once again, she was fantastic. We felt completely confident leaving Holly (and our home) in her care. She’s responsive, reliable, and the daily photo updates were much appreciated. Highly recommend—thank you, Alexandra!

Megan you’re an absolute Godsend! She cares for my girls like they are her own. From the moment we met my dogs were smitten with her and brought her all the toys. She sends lovely descriptions of the visits and takes great photos to share too! Responsible, caring, and goes the extra mile for your pets. I couldn’t ask for anything more and I will continue to use her! Thank you again Megan you’re the best!

Jasmine watched our cat while we were away for 10 days. She was very attentive and followed all of our instructions. She gave us plenty of updates via the rover card and sent lots of pictures. We felt very comfortable with having her take care of our cat while we were away.

Lynne and her husband provided exceptional care for my pets at my home while I was away. They were dependable, professional, and showed genuine care and love for my animals. It was such a relief knowing they were being walked, fed, and looked after so well. They kept me updated regularly with messages and photos, which made me feel completely at ease during my time away. I came home to happy, well-cared-for pets and a tidy home—what more could I ask for? I highly recommend Lynne and her husband for anyone needing reliable and compassionate pet care. I will definately be booking with them again. Five stars!
