“Teffni did a wonderful job looking after my fur baby Ollie, daily updates shared happy playtime & loving scratches during her visits. She even indulged him with his balcony time (mid winter in DC) and his secret love of drinking from the bathroom sink ! My apartment was well looked after and pet items kept neat and well stocked for his needs. Thank you so much for loving him in my absence!”
“Hyunjung was amazing with our kitty Luna! She kept such great care of her during her check ins while we were away for the weekend. She was timely, attentive, and took tons of good quality (and adorable) photos of Luna. Highly recommend and appreciated her amazing level of care.”
“Abigail is fantastic! My cat loves her and feels very comfortable around her. She updated us with detailed info and pics everyday. Thanks Abigail, you’re Fiona’s favorite person now :)”
“Drew was AMAZING! I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for my sweet Lady. She’s 12 years old and needs extra care and attention, and Drew went above and beyond to make sure she was comfortable, loved, and well taken care of during each visit. Communication was excellent, and the updates gave me so much peace of mind. I 100% recommend Drew to anyone looking for a truly caring and dependable sitter!”
“Ambar was amazing!! She was very responsive and attentive to our two kitties and did an excellent job keeping them fed, updating with anything she needed, and giving them affection they needed while I was away. She even went above and beyond to fix our litter robot when it wasn't functioning properly! Very highly recommend her :)”
“Helene is such a reliable and caring sitter! She loves animals and always sends great pictures and comments. We feel at ease when Helene is taking care of our pets. We will definitely hire her again.”
“Ilana has been checking in our dog, Bentley, during weekdays since January. She's been very reliable, easy to communicate with, and we can tell that she ensures our buddy gets exercise and love! Would highly recommend her. Thanks Ilana!”
“We utilized Kevin’s services for the first time during my outpatient surgery for a drop in visit. He inspires trust, which is extremely important on a day like that. He followed all arrangements well & kept us apprised. We certainly hope to hire him again!”
“My two cats were in great hands with Khadija. They were well taken care of and the photo updates were reassuring while I was overseas. I came back home to two happy and healthy kitties :) I am definitely satisfied with the care she provided and will be rebooking with her in the future. Thank you!!”
“Aliyah was fantastic! She replaced a last minute cancellation and was so on top of everything clear and smooth. We were gone for our wedding weekend, and I was able to have 0 worried for my kitty cat while we’re gone knowing she was in Aliyah’s care <3”
“Jana was my first experience with a rover sitter and I could not be more happy about it! She was really communicative about everything. She made a checklist for everything she needed to do for each visit and was really prepared. She also sent photo updates of my kitties and let me know every time she was with them. Jana also went above and beyond and made the kittens a toy for them to enjoy (so sweet!!) which really shows how much she cared about my kitties [and animals in general!] She took time to play with them and give them attention :) Jana made me feel so much better about having left my cats alone for a few days and I would book her again and I definitely recommend her services!”
“Carolina is amazing! She was able to stop by and check-in on our cats on Christmas Eve. She made sure all of our cats were taken care of and comfortable and was quick in providing us updates. I highly recommend her to any pet parent!”
“Julianna is amazing. Reliable, Trustworthy, Communicative and Kind. Couldn't recommend her more. It was a relief to know that our precious kitties were in great hands.”
“Rebecca did great with our cats! She was so patient and kind with our shy kitty who also needs medicine, and was able to troubleshoot administration when things didn't go exactly to plan. Our girls will be excited to see her again in the future ❤️”

Kensington cat parents share their Rover experiences
My first time using a sitter and I had a great experience with Karen. She was communicative, always on time and took excellent care of my kitties. The daily photos gave me peace of mind knowing they were in good hands. I will absolutely rebook with Karen in the future!
Julianna did a great job checking on our cat for us! She was great at communicating how she was doing and patient with our cat that is a bit slow to warm up to strangers. I loved the pictures and could see my cat getting more comfortable with her throughout the visits! We would definitely recommend Julianna for cat sitting to others!
Courtney was incredible. Not only did she do really well with our older cat (who can be slow to trust) she went above and beyond including dropping by our house at night (after she had already visited our cat for the day!) to grab an important box of medicine and get it out of the rain and into the fridge (even though I told her it could wait a day to not inconvenience her!) She's really a great person, a wonderful sitter and our cat loved spending time with her!
