“Allison was fantastic with my two cats! She handled everything with care, including giving one of my cats her shot without any issues. The visit notes were detailed and thoughtful, which gave me great peace of mind. Highly recommend!”
“Idalia was attentive, punctual, and kind! It’s so hard letting someone else take care of your babies but when it’s necessary, it’s nice to know there are good people out there who care and are willing to help. I know my pup was in good hands 🫶🏼 thank you for everything!”
“Brittaney accepted my last minute request over the New Year holiday week. She navigated my downtown apartment building’s complicated parking, door concierge, and keyless system with ease and communicated quickly. I would recommend her to anyone. She also took super cute pics of my elderly man cat.”
“Annie was very responsive, thoughtful and efficient. I appreciated the extra care, pictures, updates and communication for the drop ins with our Yorkie. It was our first time using Rover for care while we were on a trip and Annie exceeded our expectations.”
“Anastasia was amazing!! She was so sweet to our two cats and senior dog. Our dog and one of our cat’s needed medication and she administered them perfectly. We are so appreciative of Anastasia! Thank you 🙏🏻”
“Maverick has been absolutely amazing with my puppy, Chloe. She’s incredibly flexible even with last minute schedule changes and always so kind and accommodating. She leaves detailed updates after every visit (even short 30-minute ones), which gives me so much reassurance that Chloe is in the best hands. It truly gave me peace of mind knowing Maverick was coming she made the whole experience stress-free. I can’t recommend her enough!”
“We loved having Brittany come and watch our kitties! Brittany was great with communication and gave us updates with cute pictures. We would not hesitate to book her again in the future!”
“As usual, Noel did a great job with the kitties and they were well cared for. Would definitely recommend having Noel taking care of your lovely furbabies”
“Anna is amazing. We had to make a last-second change to our plans because our dog got sick, and Anna was available on the spot for over a week. We got so many pictures and our dog was so happy with her! We were so lucky to find her!!!”
“She took wonderful care of my cat. Was responsive, friendly, had no problem with instructions. Big thing is I find her to be reliable, which is comforting in a huge relief when you have to leave your pet at home alone. She volunteered to extend the time to spend a little bit more time with my cat because the sign process at my building is actually pretty slow. which I so appreciated her doing I wouldn’t have held it against her head. She not extended the time, but it’s an example of how she went above and beyond for my cat. I would love to have her back!”
“We’ve been working with Beth for several weeks now, and she has been amazing! Very reliable, great with our puppy, and she sends us the best updates and photos from her visits.”
“Shu did an amazing job giving two of my cats medication and looking after all my cats while I was away! I could tell she really cared about them from the photos and updates she sent.”

Houston dog parents share their Rover experiences
Ashley is the absolutely best! She takes such great care of our 2 cats and senior dog while we are on vacation! She helps with the litter, feedings, and administering morning meds for our dog. We now pretty much exclusively reach out to Ashley any time we have an upcoming trip! Our pets LOVE her. Thank you for everything, Ashley!
Crystina has been fantastic! She took care of our very demanding and reactive dog at our place while we were away. Crystina did an absolutely great job walking our dog and feeding him twice a day (our dog is very picky about the food). Also, Crystina agreed to take care of our dog at the very last moment when our regular sitter canceled our booking.
Kayla took such great care of Brody and Lala during her drop-in visits over the three days. You can tell right away that she genuinely enjoys being around animals, and both of my pups really took to her. This was my first time using Rover and also my first time being away from them since I got them, so I was honestly a bit nervous going in. Brody can be a little anxious, and I wasn’t sure how he’d handle me being gone. But Kayla made the whole experience so much easier. She kept me updated with photos and it meant a lot to see him relaxed, playing, and even having fun with her and Lala during their time together. I already knew Lala would likely warm up quickly since she’s naturally friendly, but seeing both of them comfortable and well cared for gave me real peace of mind. Kayla was reliable, communicative, and clearly attentive to their needs. I’d absolutely book her again and would recommend her to anyone looking for someone they can trust with their pets.
Ariana was so sweet and caring with Jasper! He absolutely adored her and I can tell he was cared for during his visits. She is great with communicating and giving updates throughout the visits! I booked her with only a week in advance and she was very accommodating! So thankful 💕
