“So happy to have Marissa check in on Melo! He was so comfortable with her at the meet and greet. She makes sure he gets a walk and/or playtime outside, or just keeps him company when he just wants to chill :) Appreciate her check in texts and photos!”
“Fantastic work! Ramajana got along with our cats right away, even our shy kitty. She was very communicative and reliable offering peace of mind while we were away. Highly recommend her!”
“Natalie was a great sitter for my Cat. She followed my instructions to a tee and even cleaned litter off the floor although that wasn’t required. I would recommend Natalie to anyone who needs drop in sitter!”
“Arantxa is so sweet, reliable, caring, and engaging! From her updates and interactions with my dog and cat I can tell that she genuinely cares about animals and treats my pets as if they were her own. my dog just absolutely adores her and my cat never comes out for anyone- but Arantxa made the cut 🥰 She is the best. I’ll definitely be booking her in the future! Thank you for all that you do for my fur babies Aranxta 🩷”
“Bethany was amazing! She provided frequent updates and was so sweet. I was at ease leaving my sweet fur baby with her. Will definitely be using again!”
“Ian watched our 2 cats for 5 days and did a fantastic job! His attention to detail made me feel very comfortable, which can be hard for me while I’m away from my babies. He ensured the boys got tons of playtime and left detailed notes every visit that made me smile! He even left the apartment, feeding areas, and litter room spotless and took the trash out. Ian is by far the best sitter I have found on this app and I look forward to working with him again in the future. I would recommend him to anyone that I know!”

Hyde Park pet parents share their Rover experiences
Jamie is my go-to cat sitter now! She’s so sweet and gentle with my cat. And Jamie is an IT wizard and even fixed my cat cam!
Kailey was super communicative and dependable. We’ve used her twice & highly recommend her services!
Olha was quick to respond to messages. She took detailed pictures each visit. Our shy cat often hides from sitters, but he seemed to warm up to her quickly. She also went above and beyond to clean up a big mess where our cat got into the spare litter. She was courteous and professional and sweet with our cat. Thank you Olha!
Micheal was wonderful with my cat. He was kinda and kept in great contact the entire time with updates and photos. Will definitely be hiring him again in the future.
Laura has been wonderful taking care of my two cats. She’s very considerate and responsive, making sure to do everything I ask. She’s writes detailed reports that give me a good sense of how the cats are doing. I highly recommend her
Absolute life saver. Work took a turn, and I was unable to get home for lunch to take my dog out. Tellulah accepted my last-minute request, took him out, showed him some love, and totally relieved my anxiety. Will definitely use again!
Zoe did a great job caring for our dog while we were away for the weekend. She was very considerate of our home and sent detailed updates with lots of photos. Will definitely be rebooking!
Kim is so amazing! She dropped in to feed and play with my cat buddy Frank yesterday while I was out of town. He was all purrs in his video and he had a professional style photo shoot! 💕💕
Thomas was really responsive when we were messaging and scheduling. He sent nice pictures of our cat and when we got back, our cat wasn't desperate because of lack of attention.
Ashlyn was dependable, reliable, and truly was a huge help during my time away from home, looking after my cat. She took a huge weight off my shoulders to know that my kitty has reliably been taken care of while I've been away. Also my cat liked her!
Abby took great care of coconut while I was out of the country for 2 weeks and had limited access to communication. I came back and coconut was so calm! The tidied up behind him and watered my plants as well! I really appreciated her :)
Juliet was amazing! We had to book last minute for a holiday weekend and she took such good care of Chewy while we were gone. We will definitely be requesting her again!
Graceanne is amazing! Leaves nothing to be desired as a pet sitter. She arrives promptly with each feeding, leaves detailed notes, and uploads plenty of pictures! It means the world when you can trust your pet sitter while traveling, don't hesitate to hire her for your pet sitting needs! She's just what you want :) Thank you Graceanne as always!!!
Deana is reliable, trustworthy, and my dog absolutely adores her. She’s even helped me out in a pinch when there was an emergency and I wasn’t able to be home to feed my dog dinner. Total lifesaver!
Michelle have amazing feedback and took fantastic pics while watching our cat! Would absolutely ask to watch again!
Juliette took great car of our two dogs for a week while we were out of town. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a responsible and reliable dog lover to check in on their pets.
The best pet sitter youll find. It’s so hard to find someone you trust and Arantxa is the best. She does more than expected and gives me so much peace of mind taking care of my pets. I’m so thankful for her services!
Regan did an amazing job caring for my two cats for a week. She sent thoughtful updates with great photos and even got my shy cat to come out and say hi! She offered a meet-and-greet beforehand and was super responsive. 10/10 definitely would love to have her cat sit again.
I never had to worry about the kitties while we were on vacation. Nevaeh went above and beyond when one of the cats was being super sneaky and she was able to capture him on camera for us to ensure he was in the house (he's really good at hiding). We will definitely be booking with her for future trips!
