I’ve been blown away by his responsiveness, flexibility, communication, and clear love for pets :) He’s very professional, but also comes across like a friend who’s always down to help you out and care for your pets like they’re his own. I trust him with my pets for the long haul!”

“Aliya came and met our rescue cat before our trip and he quickly warmed to her. She was very easy going and clearly loves pets. She sent us great updates and pictures of each of her visits. She treated some of his eye drainage well and took care of opening blinds for him each day and cleaning up his litter box. We felt very comfortable and relieved that our cat was getting visits while we were out of town. We will definitely use her services again!”

Ginter Park pet parents share their Rover experiences
Kristina did a wonderful job taking care of my cat Sam while I was away. When I returned home, he was relaxed and happy. I could tell he had been well cared for and he was not stressed from me being gone for 5 days. I will definitely request Kristina for future pet sitting.
Cole gave great care to my cat Lulu. She was extra attentive to her medication needs and was very communicative. Thanks again!
Abigail was stellar as always! We are always so happy when she can come in to check on our two cats! She always spends time getting them to play (or to at least make an appearance). She's flexible, friendly, dependable, and we highly recommend her as a kitty checker-inner.
We love Elijah!! Our cats are shy and all need different things and he has been able to earn their trust an affection. We feel so at ease whenever we go out of town because we know Elijah will take great care of our pets. We highly recommend his services!
Cat has been an absolute pleasure to work with! I scheduled her last minute for daily drop-in services with my dog, Koko. Even though it was a short turnaround time (I made the request Saturday morning for services starting on Monday), Cat came to our house that same day to meet Koko and discuss what I was looking for in drop-in services. Over the past week, Cat has been an excellent communicator, has consistently arrived on time, and has really catered her care to Koko's preferences (e.g., playing ball with her in our yard, convincing her to eat something at lunchtime even though she's picky). I have already booked another drop-in session with Cat for next week and will certainly continue to work with her in the future! I highly recommend working with Cat!
Excellent job. I hope to have the opportunity to book again with Elizabeth. She gave my pets extra special care and was available on short notice. Thank you for such a great job and going above and beyond to care for my pets!
We've had JP to watch our Ollie multiple times, and its always a breeze. Its great knowing we have someone who will go the extra mile and make our (very spoiled) dog happy while we are away! Highly recommend!
So glad I found Monique! She’s great with my dogs, able to walk both of them (they’re huge) and they come back tired and happy every time. She always gives me great updates on how they did on the walk, she’s on time, reliable and flexible when I needed to make some last minute changes on our schedule.
Niely was responsive and communicative. Provided excellent care of my two adult/senior cats. 10/10 would book again.
Haley is a gem of a pet sitter!! She dropped by every day for a week to feed and play with my kitty while I was out of state. I loved the detailed summaries she sent each day after the visit. Highly recommend her to anyone :)
This is my second time booking with Grace, and she is so awesome! She is very accommodating and has great availability. She always leaves the best updates when she does check-ins with my dog toby! Will definitely continue to book with her in the future.
Brenna did an amazing job of checking in on my cat T. Rex while I was out of town! She was a great communicator and super flexible with my traveling times. I would 100% recommend her to other pet owners and am sure I will reach back out next time I need a drop-in again!!
Devinder takes great care of my cat Theo, who can be a bit sassy and territorial, especially when it comes to his personal space. I’d definitely recommend Devinder to anyone with a quirky or particular pet - he handles them with care!
Our pups loved Tali! She helped out when we were out of town for the day and they were well taken care of. 😊
Katharine was wondering!!!! She went above and beyond her task. She even accommodated me adding a couple of days last minute. She was very caring and I can tell that my dog really likes her. I was able to have totally peace of mind on my trip. I definitely recommend Katharine and rebook her.
Jessica was the best - as always - with our geriatric Maine coon and his troublemaker brother! She knows just how to keep them happy!
