“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We are so grateful to have found Morgan! She took care of our whole kitty crew with incredible attentiveness, warmth, and good humor. From the moment we connected, she was friendly, professional, and easy to communicate with — even asking thoughtful questions ahead of time to make sure they had all the details right. Throughout the week, we received daily updates, adorable photos, and sweet little stories about our cats’ personalities (even shy Chanchita came out of her shell!). She followed our very detailed instructions perfectly, including medication, litter box care, and keeping an eye out for mischievous Mr. Bingley’s adventures. When we accidentally left out a knife and panicked, they calmly reassured us it was already handled. She even took care of little extras like bringing in a Chewy delivery and making sure the finicky keypad didn’t slow them down. We came home to happy, well-fed, calm cats — who honestly seemed a little bummed their new best friends weren’t still around. We wouldn’t hesitate to book with Morgan again. Highly recommend her if you’re looking for caring, reliable, and genuinely lovely people to care for your furry family!”

“My diabetic cat with urinary problems was required to take 2 types of medicine, daily. My left paralysis handicap made that impossible for me to do. Ona eased my panic. She was on time, daily and gave him both medicines as professionally as a vet would do, and encouraged him as only an animal lover knows how to do. He loved her. Ona is a kind, personable person. I would trust giving her a key for the vacation, I’m going to go on, shortly. She ”checks off all the boxes”, of someone you’d want to take care of your pets. Thank you, Ona!!!”
“Always great with my Kona girl!”
“I am so grateful that we found Daniel to take care of our chickens when we were gone for 10 days on vacation! He was excellent at being in touch, communicating about various things, and paying attention to details when taking care of our pets. We needed to make a few last-minute changes to our schedule and Daniel quickly redid the booking for us multiple times. It was a pleasure working with him and we will definitely be thinking of him for our next vacation!”
About: From high-energy pups to more anxious or reserved dogs, I have the skills and experience to take care of all of your pups needs! I love every pet like they're my own, making sure they feel as safe and comfortable as possible. I'm a grad student with night classes coming up part-time this fall, meaning I have lots of time during the day to take care of your pet! When I care for pets in their own home, I cater to their needs - whether that's giving lots of attention, playtime, or snuggles. I'm always careful to respect household rules and keep everything clean and safe. I'll also keep you updated on a regular basis, and make sure to send lots of pictures while you're away!
“Isabella could have a career as a pet photographer as she always sends beautiful photos while I am away from home. She gets my male cat to pose as if he's going on the cover of GQ Cat magazine and even takes good photos of my people shy cat who likes to hide!”
“Daniel took excellent care of our elderly do while we were out of town for a few days. Prompt and always sent a picture during his visits. Thank you so much!”
“Geoff is the best!!! We were away for multiple weeks, but our kitties were very well taken care of. Geoff is very communicative, consistent, and sent adorable check-in pics of the cats every day. When the cats were getting rebellious due to us being out of town longer than normal, Geoff made the time to check on them twice a day. Our apartment was in great shape upon return (and we really appreciate him scooping the litter box daily)! It's hard to find a sitter as reliable and kind as Geoff!”

Highland pet parents share their Rover experiences
My cats love to see Isabella, especially Squeaker. He especially enjoys the treats, pets, playtime, and brushing. He would probably let Isabella take him home with her if she wanted, (he's such a Romeo!). Ariel enjoys maintaining her Princess status with Arabella, who brings her meals to her on a tray! I enjoy the fantastic photos Isabella takes every day even the funny ones of Ariel being grumpy!
Squeaker and Ariel were happy to see Wei arrive every morning and evening while I was away, especially when it was time for treats and, for Squeaker, brushing his coat. Ariel apologizes for her hissing, she takes a while to show her friendly feline nature! It was nice to see photos of my cats while I was away. Wei was proactive in dealing with issues by maintaining communication while I was out of the country.
Steffen is very friendly and reliable. We are very lucky to have Steffen care for our cats when we are away.
Another stellar booking with Ronnie! We have total confidence in him, he does a great job - I don't think our cat even missed us. Plus he watered my outdoor plants in the 90+ degree heat. Cannot recommend highly enough!
Carly was so efficient, organized, and attentive to all our cat’s needs! We’re so grateful to her - she took such good care of Daisy!
Paige was wonderfully thoughtful and gave great updates on my beloved cat! She gave him so much attention! Would recommend
So glad I was able to book Lavinia again to watch my two rabbits! Lavinia always goes above and beyond - spending time building relationships with both of them, following my detailed care sheets, and even vacuuming the bunny room so I didn’t have to do it when I got home 🥹
Alexandra took great care of my cat while I was away for a trip. She squeezed us in last minute which was very appreciated. She took great photos and provided updates as needed.
Morgan was absolutely amazing as a pet sitter for our dog, Ben, during our trip to the Tinker Nature Park and the Genesee Country Village and Museum. From the moment they met, Ben took to her instantly, going straight with her like they’d always known each other! He got to enjoy parks and even a Starbucks pup cup while riding up front in her car—talk about VIP treatment! Morgan’s communication was excellent. She met us at each of our destinations, making pick-ups and drop-offs so convenient. Plus, she helped make our trip even better by recommending local foods and must-see spots in the area, which was so thoughtful since we're not from there. One of the standout moments was when she caught a scheduling error in my vacation plans that I hadn’t noticed, which saved a big chunk of the trip from chaos. Honestly, Morgan didn’t just pet-sit; she helped make our vacation smoother and more enjoyable than we could’ve imagined. She’s truly perfect at what she does, and I would absolutely recommend her to anyone needing a caring, reliable sitter!
Melaney was great! Booked her as a drop in and was super flexible and took great care of my pets. Will definitely rebook with her!
Samantha was fantastic she was on time and my dogs loved her! I'll definitely be using her in the future.
Kiera takes great care of my dog and is always available for communications. I received awesome pictures too! Will definitely book again!
Kelsey did a great job caring for my bunny while I was away! Felt very comfortable leaving him with her to drop in each day and check on him :)
Karen was fantastic! Ximena was very happy and loved to spent time with her. She came for drop in visits 2 days in a row and even spent longer time just to give her some more company! We would love to have her again :)
Kate always sends lots of pictures! Very trustworthy and great communication! I feel at ease when I’m away from home knowing she’ll take good care of my babies.
I always feel very comfortable when I have Alyssa coming over to take care of my cats! She’s great at communicating and following my directions!
Hollis took care of our two dogs, cats, chickens, and bearded dragon for a week. He was very kind and communicated/sent pics often. I texted him multiple times and he always responded. He even washed our dogs bedding before we got home. He went above and beyond. I would highly recommend him. Hollis truly cares about all animals!
We had a last minute change of plans for our other sitter12 hrs before we left for out of state…. I have never used this app and of course was nervous about this whole process. I can not recommend emalee enough. She had great communication + took great care of our house / fur babies. I was so at peace knowing she was the one taking care of things at home.
