1. Heather C.


“Heather was a wonderful sitter for Luna, she followed instructions very well and gave us updates daily on her mood/behavior. Our shy and anxious cat was able to warm up to her well! We would definitely recommend Heather to anyone looking for a new sitter for their cat!”


2. Catherine R.

“Catherine is wonderful! Dustin took to her instantly. She even washed Dustin's breakfast plate after feeding him dinner which was a very pleasant surprise. It's great to know that we can trust her with our baby.”


3. Jennifer Z.

“She is AMAZING! This was our first time leaving our cats alone and the amount of care Jennifer put in was incredible. She helped them feel safe, loved, and followed all instructions to a T. Definitely a 5 star review from my family.”


4. Kasey R.

“Kasey is incredible. Our girls loved her. She provided daytime walks while our overnight sitter worked. She played, trained and treated the girls as we would. What a gem. 💎”


5. Melissa W.

“Melissa was absolutely great! She worked with me when I need care for my pup pretty much last minute. She kept in contact and kept me at ease during her care for my dog.”


6. Jennifer G.

“Jenna is a superstar! She has been caring for our dog who absolutely adores her. Jenna is loving and sweet, she plays with our dog, and she sends us terrific pictures. By the way, I think she can start a pet photography business, because each photo is amazing. I completely trust Jenna with our fur baby, and we have 100% peace of mind that she is dropping in and giving dog love, fresh air, a bio break, and exercise. We feel so fortunate to work with Jenna!”




7. Catherine H.


“Cathy was punctual, neat, mindful and a fantastic communicator! She followed our instructions and put in the extra effort to accommodate our shy kitty. 10/10 would recommend! We loved our experience so much that we booked her again :)”


8. Ariana K.

“Arian filled in last minute for a Rover sitter who never showed up. She was professional and reassuringly consistent. She communicated everyday and, when she had questions. She also sent pictures that let me know our older, finicky cats were in capable, caring hands. I would hire her again in a hot minute.”


9. Cindy R.

“Cindy was amazing and I think my pets are missing her!! I appreciate her professionalism and communication. I will definitely use her again.”

11. Rachel W.

“Rachel was great!!! She came and checked on my kitties while I was on vacation and always sent detailed notes with lots of pictures! She was responsive and caring!”


12. Carolina M.

“Excellent experience with Carolina. She was very communicative and sent lots of pictures. My cat was very comfortable with her and I will be booking with her again.”


13. Rodney B.


“Rodney was very punctual. He also replied quickly and was available, even with my short notice. He sent me lots of pictures and my dog seemed to have a great walk. He also asked questions and double checked what all my dog needed such as food or water along with the walk and play time!”


14. Camila C.

“Camila took great care of our two cats. She also went the extra mile to make sure our house was good while we were away. We really appreciated the thorough reports and plenty of pictures!”


15. Shara B.

“Shara was great with Mochi! She followed his feeding schedule and cleaned the litter boxes everyday. She was very professional and sent daily photo updates.”


16. Dantley W.

“Will definitely book again soon! Dantley showed up on time, friendly and did so good with Miley. Miley is a German Shepard who reads people very well and can often be difficult for people to walk. She LOVED her walk/run with Dantley and was so happy before and after. If he can walk Miley so well - he can walk any dog. :-) Highly recommend.”




17. Theresa W.


“Theresa was wonderful! She took great care of our kitties when we were away. Kept us updated with photos and descriptions of her visits. Very responsive via text/email. Will happily book again!”


18. Edgar S.

“Edgar was a perfect sitter for our three dogs and cat while our family went to Georgia for a week. I was skeptical about Rover (having never used it before) but the app is amazing and we found a great animal lover to care for our babies. I recommend booking Edgar for your fur babies! ❤️”


19. Brittany P.
“Brittany is trusting and a phenomenal and extremely loving pet owner and pet caregiver. She always goes out of her way to make sure pets are safe and have everything they need. Brittany's caring personality is extremely helpful for those pets who may need some extra attention as she rescued her dog and knows the trauma that pets may face.”


20. Nicole A.

“First time leaving my precious fur babies alone at home while we were away for 10 days. Nicole put my mind at rest during our very first meet & greet even before booking. She took care of our babies like they were her own, sending me regular updates and even brought my shy and anxious cat Fluffy out of his shell so he was comfortable with her. We got back home last evening to find the boys well taken care of. She has a friendly, bubbly personality, really loves and takes care of your pets and has a great work ethic. If you’re looking for someone reliable and loving to take care of your precious furry look no further….”
