“Nataliia was so thoughtful and caring with my kitty! I loved getting her reports each day and knew my Sofi was in good hands. I appreciate Nataliia’s attention to detail and her effort to understand my instructions. I’ll be rebooking with her for sure!”
“Arantxa always goes above expectations, she’s set such a high standard it’s such a bummer when I can’t book her. She sends the best photos and updates and that are so adorable and funny. She’ll bring in packages, tell you if something is wrong or out of the ordinary at home, and help out in so many ways with pet care and more. She’s so reliable and trustworthy I am always at ease knowing she is caring for my pets. She’s so reliable genuinely loves animals, the best pet sitter I’ve ever had!!”
“Mariia did a wonderful job take care of our cat while we were away - great communication and shared photos/videos each visit. We will definitely reach out to her for help again!”
“Sarah is just incredible in every way! We had an initial call and she took very thorough notes so much so that I didn’t have to remind her of anything (gate codes, feeding times, where to find things in the house). Buttercup is a rescue and needs a little more understanding with mealtimes and play time and Sarah was very understanding and accommodating. She sent updates, photos, and made sure to keep the litter box clean. I’ll definitely be booking Sarah for my next trip.”
“Thank you, David, for this last minute book! We appreciate you taking care of our pups! David was very communicative and everything went smoothly. We’ll book him again!”
“Zoe was very communicative and filled out detailed rover cards with pictures so we did not have to worry about our kitties. She also plays with them! Would recommend hiring Zoe”
“Katherine was absolutely fantastic being able to take care of my sweet boy on such short notice! She was caring, kind, kept me updated, and was so so nice to Dallas. Thank you so much for being such an amazing pet sitter!”
“I recommend Kody R. to petsit for your loveables. It was so nice to know that my cat was cared for while I was away. I was informed when the visit started and he sent pictures, which I appreciated. Thank you so much!”
“I can’t recommend Olha enough! She took care of my cat for the past two weeks and was absolutely amazing. Every day, she sent me photos and updates that gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. It was clear from the pictures and her messages that she genuinely cared and was giving my cat tons of love and attention. She went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect, and I came home to a happy, healthy, and well-cared-for pet. Olha is truly the best!”
“Erin is so helpful and flexible! I was out of town during another freeze in Austin and she made sure to keep my place warm and the faucets running. I’m so grateful for her communication and attention to detail”
“I can’t recommend Meg enough as a cat sitter! She took care of my cat over the holidays, and her attention to detail and genuine care made all the difference. Meg provided daily updates with photos, which gave me such peace of mind. She not only made sure my cat was well-fed and cared for, but she also spent extra time playing and keeping her company.”
“Yenah took great care of my cat Juniper, she did 5 30 min drop in visits. She water, fed and kitty littered everyday as asked. I could tell from her photos that Juniper liked her from the cute little face Juniper makes. Thanks again!”
About: My day job at the hospital I work at is to feed my patients, groom them, clean up their poop, take them on walks, etc. I can’t wait to treat your pet with the same level of care :) I have had pets throughout my childhood, and have always taken a very active role in their care. I love animals and I am heartbroken that I am not at a stage in my life where I can commit to my own pet, but I would love nothing more than to spend time with yours. Additionally, while I am new to this app and have not professionally pet sit before, I have pet sit for my neighbors and friends countless times throughout my life. I work 3 12 hour shift a week where I will not be able to care for a pet. However, since I can work any three days of the week, I can care for one pet with no work commitments for as long as 4 days. My schedule varies, but please reach out and I would be happy to plan something. I'm mostly just doing this because I want to hang out with animals and without committing to getting my own pet, as I will be starting grad school next year and will not have time to care for a pet once that happens. In other words, if I'm caring for your pet it's not because this is a job for me. It's because I really want to hang out with your pet I have every intention of spending all my time and effort on them.
“July was great watching out cats for a week. She gave our pets lots of love and made sure they were well fed. We would definitely book her again and recommend her to anyone else!”
“We feel lucky to have Valerie! She was our first rover after bringing home our puppy and have her help most days of the week, to help manage work schedules with puppy life. Valerie cares about his progress and working on the commands we are, during her visit. We couldn’t be happier!”
“Addison did a great job with Archer! I got plenty of updates and photos from her while I was on a work trip, and I could tell he was having a great time during her drop ins. I’ll definitely rebook with her again!”

Collin E.
“I can’t recommend Collin enough! Not only is he passionate about caring for animals, but he’s also incredibly patient and understanding of their needs. My cat is pretty grumpy, and he’s wary around new people. He gets anxious easily, so I tend to not bring him around others for extended periods of time. I recently experienced long-term power outage from a hailstorm, and I let Collin watch the cat while I figured things out. I was pleasantly surprised to see how fond my cat became with Collin! It’s clear that Collin does a fantastic job in bonding with any pet he watches, and my cat has since always been happy to see him!”

Hyde Park pet parents share their Rover experiences
Marissa went above and beyond to make sure my pup was taken care of despite the heavy rain. He didn’t want to go outside, but thankfully she contacted me and asked for any tips or tricks she should try, and they worked. I was so glad she reached out and asked! She even saw a package and was proactive to bring it in for me. Definitely deserves 5 stars!
Meg did a great job with my kitty cats! I’ve had her as a sitter two times so far, and I’ve always come home to happy healthy kitties and a clean home. She’s good about replying quickly, and about sending pictures of them at each visit (even got some action shots of play time!). She did everything that I asked (fed them, gave them clean water, cleaned the litter box, and played with them), plus she even took out the trash when it got full! Overall I would recommend Meg as a sitter :)
Michelle was an amazing cat sitter for my two cats! I know that everyone misses their cats when they're away but Michelle truly gave me peace of mind as she took care of mine - she had clear communication (even letting me know of potential health issues), played with them a ton, and sent many many photos with every update. Michelle truly steps up and cares for your cats as if they were her own. I cannot recommend her enough!!
Andres did a great job taking care of our two cats. We were a bit nervous leaving them because we had just undergone a big, cross-country move. Andres spent a little extra time with them, got them playing and cuddling, and helped with some small house chores.
I couldn’t be more happier that I found Sarah to care for my Border Collie, Isla. From day one, Sarah has been an exceptional caregiver—always punctual, wonderfully communicative, and in tune with Isla’s energetic personality. Booking Sarah for two visits a week has been a great decision. I look forward to continuing working with Sarah and highly recommend her to anyone needing loving and dependable care!
My kitties were well taken care of! I’ve never left my cats alone before and was a little nervous about doing so, but immediately felt better every time I would receive pictures and videos of them. Aniela was very communicative which I really appreciated and she did a great job! Thanks again!
