“Sarah took great care of our cat while we were out of town. She played with him and even fixed his toy when it broke. We would love to rebook with her again!”

“Manuela completely exceeded our expectations for our first time using Rover. She was so communicative, helpful, and observant. We will definitely be using her again. She was outstanding!!”

“Isabella did a great job checking in on our cat. She was timely and always provided photos. She has great common sense and was quick to address an unforeseen situation after getting locked out of the house.”

“OMGooshhhhhh!! Lauren is THE ABSOLUTE BEST!! She took great care of my furbabies, and was very flexible with me while trying to get back home utilizing the "NIGHTMARE OF AIR TRAVEL". I could never thank her enough for loving and treating my pooches with the utmost care, and compassion, and the fact she watched cartoons with them made me smile.”

“Juliette took care of my cat Beef for almost 3 weeks and kept me updated throughout. She followed all my instructions and communicated well. I would trust her to take care of Beef again in the future”


“Leticia did great with my two dogs and one cat! She sent photos at every drop in and met with us before starting to go over our details and meet the pets. Highly recommend!”
“Stephanie has been absolutely fantastic with our ‘nervous around new things’ dog. She was quick to earn his trust and get him out of his shell. We love knowing that he is in such great hands when she’s around!”

“Logan was fantastic! Logan was punctual with drop ins and followed instructions to the T. Logan is careful and reliable and gave us regular updates and also let us know promptly when there were slight hiccups with our arrangements (that occurred through no fault of Logan's). Logan has been fantastic and continues to be and has our highest recommendation!”

“I can’t say enough about how great this experience was. Rachel is such a wonderful dog care person! I was nervous using rover for the first time but Rachel promptly set up a meet and greet and tolerated me flooding her with care instructions for our beloved Herbie! She showed up early for each visit and spent extra time with Herbie after, going above and beyond, and communicating how well things were going with lots of pictures. I will definitely try to book Rachel if we need a sitter. Outstanding!”

“Marikate was awesome! Extremely friendly and loved our kitty well. We had a change in travel plans and she was very flexible and helpful to make sure our pet was well taken care of. Will definitely use her again”

“One of my rats unfortunately passed while I was away but Alex was quick to inform me and handled everything as I asked. Despite the tragedy, my remaining two rats and cat were doing well when I returned, and I received thorough reports and pictures throughout my trip that made me feel assured that all of my pets are being well cared for. Will definitely have Alex take care of my pets again!”

“El was so sweet and a wonderful sitter for my kitty over the weekend. Excellent communication and lots of photos in the daily updates. I came back to a very tidy apartment and happy cat. I would definitely book her again!”

“Patricia did great. Apartment looked just about the same as it did when I left. Cats are happy and healthy. She did a wonderful job of working with my super-shy cat (actually got her to come out from under the bed twice), and kept my super outgoing high-energy cat entertained. Big ups for Patricia!”

Jefferson Park pet parents share their Rover experiences
Logan came to visit our kitten twice a day for the week and she absolutely loved him! He sent us updates and made us feel super comfortable! He was communicative, professional and she had the best time with him! Logan treated her with so much care, I couldn’t stress that enough! I’d happily recommend him - you can easily tell it’s his passion to be there for our fur babies.

Victoria is awesome! Her love and care for all critters is very clear, and helping animals seems to be a real calling for her. She is super responsive, very attentive, and she prioritized our dog’s best interests and our instructions. Rosie is going through a lot with recovering from surgery and lots of change at home and I’ve been so worried about how sad she has seemed. After hanging with Victoria, our Rosie was noticeably brighter and happier, which made our day. We plan to book as much as we can with Victoria.

Catherine is an amazing sitter for my anxious little chihuahua! I am a little particular about her care when I’m away and Catherine follows every little instruction with detail and care. She sends specific updates and pictures to keep me looped in, which I greatly appreciate! I would definitely book with her again!
