1. Kimiko C.


“Kimiko was great! She was very attentive to Sadie’s needs and asked good relevant questions. She sent plenty of photos and made sure she was taken care of. I didn’t have to worry about Sadie at all!”


2. Sam L.

“Sam took fantastic care of our 3 cats while we were away! She did a great job making sure the cats ate their food and administering medication. We appreciated Sam’s updates and communication. We will rebook with Sam the next time we travel, and would recommend her to others!”


3. Jacquelyn V.

“Jacequelyn checked in on my cat the week of Christmas kind of last minute and we are so grateful for her! She gave Snowball his wet food and some attention every morning. Great job!”


4. Cayla C.

“Cayla took wonderful care of our two dogs Baxter and Biscuit over the winter break -- Cayla was professional, caring and her communication skills are excellent. When one of our dogs was limping from a prior injury, Cayla got the medication from the vet and went over and above to make sure the dog was comfortable, which was a relief as we were out of the country. I would highly recommend Cayla, your pets will be in very capable and caring hands.”


5. Baeli C.


“Baeli does an amazing job taking care of my cat Stella. The pictures and updates are awesome and put this pet mom at ease when out of town. Thank you!!”


6. Rebecca C.

“My initial Rover sitter bailed the night before my trip, and thank goodness I found Rebecca! Not only did she offer to have a late night video call so she could see the apartment and get the rundown on how to take care of my dog - but she was in communication with me every day following. I have a large breed dog that can be a bit intimidating to some given his size and energy level, but she bonded with him so well and I could tell in all the pictures she sent he was loving his time with her. Hands down will be booking with Rebecca from now on!”


7. Aidan F.

“Aidan was very kind and did a good job with my cat who can be on the shy side with new people! They were also very easy to communicate with and fairly quick to answer any messages. I do wish I had received a few more photos during the span of visits, but I also recognize it can be quite the task with crafty, hiding cats sometimes!”


8. Heath F.

“Heath was great with the fur babies! Checked in numerous times and any of the items I forgot to mention Heath reached out to confirm to take care of them! Will for sure reach out again next time we go out of town!”


9. Mollanna T.
“Mollanna has always been such a wonderful pet owner and pet lover since we’ve known each other. She takes amazing care of her fur babies and anyone else’s that has needed her help whether they’re going out of town or just have a longer day than expected she’s been helpful with walks and feedings.”


10. Abby C.

“Abby was very communicative and on time. Will book again”


11. Korin B.

“Korin has a very gentle and patient manner with our shy girl. They were responsive and communicative throughout, and I would highly recommend them!”


12. Kenneth V.

“Absolutely amazing! Kenneth was on time and took care of my fur babies. My senior dog loved his drop ins for sure and the three walks a day. He made sure they had plenty of water and food. Cleaned the litter box too. Even played with Oreo the cat and his favorite string toy. Would definitely recommend to my friends and request him again if needed.”




13. Rich A.


“It is so, so great to have a sitter that is not afraid of my zoo! As the owner of two cats, ten geckos, and ten snakes, all with different personalities ranging from shy to outright grumpy, I am very comforted by Rich's confidence in caring for them. I am a total momma bear when it comes to ALL of my critters (even the bitey ones), and I don't even worry while I'm away on vacation.”


14. Naha C.

“Naha was great with Luna. Luna is a very anxious dog and she was very patient and loving with her.”


15. Kelsey L.
“Kelsey has loved animals since she was a baby!! As a young child she wanted to be a veterinarian. We have had dogs over the years. She loves them, walks, feeds, gives meds!! Absolutely adores animals overall. Kelsey will give 100% to all animals dogs, cats, along with any other animals this site cares for. Kelsey is awesome❤️😘”


16. Emma A.

“Emma was so great with Coco! Coco enjoyed her time with Emma while we were away for a long weekend. She was happy to see us when we returned, but I think part of her wished it was Emma walking through the doors! Thank you, Emma!”


17. Hannah M.
About: I professionally pet sat for a pet sitting company that required me to take courses/get certified in pet CPR, walking, emergency situations, administering medication etc Additionally, I volunteer for Hotel for Homeless Dogs. Both experiences have exposed me to walking puppies and large dogs. ABOUT RATE: Rover automatically deducts 20% of earnings/visit, so I’ve developed rates that take into account the 20% deduction to ensure I receive a payment I am satisfied with. For example, if I charge $50, I will receive $40. I try to charge $15/hr, but I haven’t been able to find how to set an hourly rate. My rate is currently set to $115/night, with the assumption that I will be spending most of the day with the dog. The rate is also dependent upon the number of animals, activity, etc. I am able to modify payments per sitting. We can discuss payments one-on-one because I do try to be flexible! I currently work full time 7:30am-3:00pm on Mondays and 7:30-4:00pm Tuesday-Friday. My weekends are pretty flexible, but sometimes I do have activities planned. I’ll try to update my calendar to reflext my availability. My landlord does not allow pets, so I am unable to board pets or pet sit within my house. I will only be able to walk or pet sit at the client’s house.


18. Valerie Z.


“Valery is great. She is so great with my cat and goes above and beyond. She’s caring and you can really tell how. UCB she loves animals. I’m happy to have found her!”


19. Nicol G.

“Nichol was phenomenal and a very attentive to all my doggies needs. I am very pleased with her services and would highly recommend her for your needs. I am so please!”


20. Jasmine L.

“Jasmine has helped take care of our puppy through dog walking, drop in visits, and house sitting over the last year. She is trustworthy, dependable, and truly cares about our puppy. Gracie loves her! Whether it’s a drop in visit or a weekend of house sitting, Jasmine leaves detailed notes on how our puppy is doing. She also takes great pictures and videos! Jasmine cleaned up accidents when they happened, and was so understanding when our puppy was sick. She is easy to communicate with, and is clearly experienced with animals. I highly recommend her to take care of your pet.”
