“Brianne did a wonderful job taking care of my visually impaired elderly cat. She took time to comfort him while we were gone and provided detailed updates. We would definitely hire her again.”


“Catherine was wonderful! Very kind, helpful and prompt responding to messages. Dropped by to feed our kitty, was great to have peace of mind that she was cared for while we were away!”


“Andrew did a great job taking care of our our two cats! He followed our instructions and contacted me to let me know the litter robot looked like it was having an issue. He was very helpful and we will definitely ask him to watch our pets again.”


“Kasey was great with Zuzu! My parrot isn’t very friendly, but he warmed up to her quick. She really goes above and beyond, and you can tell she genuinely loves caring for animals. 11/10 recommend!!”



“Mary is a fantastic dog sitter! She was my first experience using Rover and she really set the bar! She was the first to respond to my request (I reached out to several people) and wanted to set up a Meet & Greet. I remember being very impressed as she showed up for the Meet & Greet with a clipboard with specific questions to answer as she got to know myself and my pups. She was very detailed and I could tell she took her dog-care seriously. She was so sweet and I could tell she really loved my fur babies. She went above and beyond and was so responsive and communicative. It really made me feel better about leaving them for the first time. She has a warm and sincere personality and even brought extra skills to the table, such as working with my puppies to be better about getting their leashes on. She even had a play date with their regular play buddies and even their dog-parents said how fabulous she was! Definitely highly recommend her!”

“If you're looking for someone who truly cares, Jessica is the one! She’s incredibly responsive and has such a gentle, loving touch with our elderly dog.

The liter boxes were nicely cleaned out.. My cats told me they would very much like Caroline to take care of them again 😸😽”
