“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Wow! this was my first time ever leaving my cat with someone, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Kat was incredibly thoughtful, attentive, and caring, and knowing she was there with Plum Jelly gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. She went above and beyond to make Plum feel safe and to ease my anxiety about being away, which meant everything to me. I couldn’t recommend Kat more. She’s someone who genuinely cares, and that makes all the difference. I’ll absolutely be booking with her again and highly, highly recommend her for anyone looking for a sitter who will love your pet like their own, go above and beyond to make them feel safe, and give you total peace of mind while you’re away. 💛”
“Just so wonderful. I already left a review but I wanted to leave another one so I could give more information. I came home about 15 minutes before when I had planned for Leah to show up because I forgot some thing and I saw that my little dogs dewclaw must have gotten stuck on something because it was bleeding. Sure enough Leah came right through the door as expected, all smiles. She made me feel so much calmer about the injury and even had materials in her bag that I needed to wrap my pup’s claw. She is truly a gift to dogs and people everywhere.”
“Our cat has thyroid problems and needs medication at specific times and in very controlled amounts. Johnny was understanding of our cat's special needs, making sure to give her all the attention she needed.”
“Scott is an incredible cat-sitter for my cat Stanley. He treats him as his own pet and always impresses me with his in-depth cat knowledge. On top of that Scott goes above and beyond to take care of my home while I’m away. I truly trust him to do a fantastic job making sure Stanley is loved while I’m out of town. Would wholeheartedly recommend Scott”
“I always know my dog is in good hands with Deb! I'm usually nervous to leave my Chihuahua (Gambit) with most people due to her specific medical needs & tendency towards anxiety, but with Deb I feel confident she'll be safe, happy, and appreciated for the sweet dog she is. Deb has always been kind and patient with Gambit, & communicative and reassuring with me. Gambit loves her, and I love coming home to a happy, healthy, & calm dog!”
“Casey is so good with my girls and gives me the peace of mind to be able to travel without worrying about what’s happening at home. She is a pet lover and it comes through every time”
“Christopher continues to be my most reliable catsitter. He is communicative, thoughtful, and problem-solving (when my cat seemed anxious, he deduced the likely source and took care of it). I would highly recommend him.”
About: Hi, my name is Peggi. I have been caring for dogs for the past 20 years. They add so much joy and happiness to this world. You can count on me to be patient and loving with your pup while also respecting any boundaries that you have set so they feel safe and loved while they’re away from home. Dogs with anxiety and/or shyness have a special place in my heart. It makes me happy to make sure they feel safe and secure while you're away. In addition, I primarily work from home, so I’m here to play, interact and go for walks whenever I like. I have a large fenced yard as well as a front porch that is secured- there's also a daybed for the pups to lounge on while they people watch. All pups are welcome on my sofa and bed. I also have multiple dog beds throughout my home so everyone can find their favorite spot. I have 3 small terriers of my own - Milo. Dottie and CeCe are all super loving, senior pups. They all came from shelters/rescues and they love meeting and socializing with new friends. I look forward to meeting you and your pup. I am self-employed and work primarily from home so I’m readily available for whatever your pet needs. My schedule is flexible and I’m always willing to stop what I’m doing to disperse snuggles. My fully fenced yard is a safe and secure environment to hang out in and for play. The daybed on my front porch is large enough for all of us to pile onto. My home has plenty of room for everyone to feel comfortable. I’m always around to supervise all outdoor activities. Even if it’s just sunbathing 😄
“Was so great at keeping me updated on my cats while I was gone for a week! She responded super quickly any time I sent a text, and was totally cool with cleaning up vomit on several occasions. I felt secure knowing they were getting playtime and cuddles every day. Would definitely book again!”
“Jourdan has been great so far. She has visited Penny twice and has already made progress with her. She also came to meet Penny with us after hours before our visits began to make sure knew Jourdan was ok. We appreciated that”
“Bonnie was an incredible last minute resource for a Christmas party staycation. She responded quickly, read over the house instructions thoroughly, and showed up in a timely manner. Great communication- we’ll definitely hire her again.”
“Cleo took incredible care of our two cats for two weeks while we were away. She was dependable, thoughtful, and sent daily updates with photos. Our cats, who are usually shy, warmed up to her quickly. We came home to happy cats and a spotless home. Highly recommend—I’d definitely book with Cleo again!”
“Audrey was professional, communicative, and caring toward my cat. She followed all instructions and regularly kept me updated while I was away. I felt very comfortable when I was on my vacation thanks to Audrey. Would definitely recommend and would book again.”
“Amanda was so great taking care of my kitty! My cat and I are very attached, and Amanda was very communicative with me, and was kind enough to spend time cuddling with my cat while I was away so she wouldn’t get too lonely. Thanks Amanda!!!”
“Ari is the best pet sitter we have ever used, on River and elsewhere. She followed every request exactly, and she took initiative to address things that weren’t covered. I think our cats and dog were happier with Ari than they are with us! Ari is incredibly kind, thoughtful, diligent, and thorough. Ari will always be our first choice for pet care going forward. Thank you Ari!”
“Lyle did a great job with our geriatric cat who needs some special care including administering medicine orally. He also did some watering during our week away to keep our houseplants and lawn alive. Awesomesauce.”

Hosford pet parents share their Rover experiences
Stellar job, once again! You're availability and generosity will always be remembered. My dog and cat thank you so much, as do i, of all of the attention and time you gave them in my absence. I was able to enjoy the work I was doing abroad and had no concerns or worries that everything was under control and taken care of.
Sunshine had regular check ins and played with Larry while I was gone. I also greatly appreciate Sunshine had the foresight to turn on my air conditioner for Larry her last day watching him; there was a heat wave the next day and i got home late, but he was in good shape thanks to the AC! Would definitely request Sunshine's services again!
Rachel took care of our three kitties while we were out of town for almost two weeks. We appreciated the dedicated care and playtime she gave all three of them. And the daily updates with photos she sent were something we looked forward to every day. Our babies were happy and well cared for while we were overseas. Thank you Rachel! Would book again.
We can't say enough great things about Anna! She was able to come spend time with our sweet pup last minute when we had a wedding to go to that was an all day affair. Winnie our pup is a sensitive sweetheart and Anna understood her feelings, took the time to do some training with her, play with her, and give her lots of love and pets to soothe her anxiousness. Her communication is really top notch, as is her care! We also recently hired Anna to sit Winnie for a few days at our house when we were away, and she was so so great. She was so careful and considerate about Winnie's routine and about our home. She sent photos and videos which was so sweet. Winnie clearly loves her. We will absolutely hire her again for overnight stays or day time pop ins when we need them.
I highly recommend booking with Taylor. I work from home so my 2 active cats are used to lots of attention and love. They clearly got plenty of that from Taylor over the six days she stopped by to feed and play with them. So grateful that when I got back home my kitties were happy and fully exercised from plenty of play. 100% would book again and would recommend this sitter to anyone!
Gracie was an amazing caregiver for our 2 kitties. My partner and I just moved to Portland from out of state and were really grateful to have found her. She sent us updates and photos which made our trip soo much more relaxing as we didn’t have to worry how our babies were doing. She was able to give my cat her anxiety medicine too - we can’t thank her enough!!!
