“Maya was great and kind with my two doggos! She came through for a meet n’ greet before drop in services were needed! Took pictures of the dogs during her check-ins! I will def. Be booking with Maya again!”


“We truly appreciate Deb taking great care of our sweet tiny dog! Deb ensures that Gambit gets sunshine, playtime, treat toys & warm cuddles. Deb provides updates & photos that are uplifting & very amusing!”


“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Wow! this was my first time ever leaving my cat with someone, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Kat was incredibly thoughtful, attentive, and caring, and knowing she was there with Plum Jelly gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. She went above and beyond to make Plum feel safe and to ease my anxiety about being away, which meant everything to me. I couldn’t recommend Kat more. She’s someone who genuinely cares, and that makes all the difference. I’ll absolutely be booking with her again and highly, highly recommend her for anyone looking for a sitter who will love your pet like their own, go above and beyond to make them feel safe, and give you total peace of mind while you’re away. 💛”


“Thank you Josh so much for giving us peace of mind with our pups, while we were gone today. The boys looked very happy in the photos you sent. We could be happier. Looking forward to working with you again.”


“Johnny did a great job taking care of our cat while we were out of town. He was very communicative and our cat was in great spirits when we returned. Will definitely be booking again!”


“Stephanie is a great sitter. She is good with the dogs and I would recommend her for your pet needs.”


“Scott is an incredible cat-sitter for my cat Stanley. He treats him as his own pet and always impresses me with his in-depth cat knowledge. On top of that Scott goes above and beyond to take care of my home while I’m away. I truly trust him to do a fantastic job making sure Stanley is loved while I’m out of town. Would wholeheartedly recommend Scott”


“Liza has been a wonderful cat-sitter. She has gained the trust of even our more skittish kitty. Most pet sitters and guests have never even seen our black cat Betty, but Liza consistently sends a photo update of Betty happily getting pets!”


“Christopher is absolutely the best! Leaving Pax alone when we travel is always hard, but Christopher gives us such peace of mind! He’s really wonderful!”



“Kate was very responsive from the start always getting back to me very quickly about any questions I had. Visited our cat at the time we had specified and provided pictures as well as attending to a few other requests we had. The cat seemed to like her as well and didn’t seem any worse for the wear upon our return! I’m very happy with the care she provided.”


“Kelsey did a wonderful job taking care of my 2 cats!!! They provided thoughtful enrichment and wonderful photos and updates. I would absolutely hire them again!”

“So patient with my nervous guy!”


“One of our cats has diabetes and requires twice daily insulin injections. This is certainly more specialized care than most cats need, but Lyle has been able to help us out and keep our kitty healthy while we are away. All our animals were well taken care of, and we would highly recommend Lyle.”


“Caroline has been a lifesaver for our family with our chaotic work schedules. She has watched our puppy multiple times and I know I can count on her when needed. She is responsive, flexible, and reliable. We are so happy to have found her!”


“Madison is fantastic and super communicative. We feel very confident that all of our dogs' needs (and there are many) are being taken care of. Highly recommend!”


“Ivory took care of my cat for a few days while I traveled. Had good communication and shared helpful updates about how he was doing. Would hire again to watch my cat!”


About: My specialty is small nervous dogs that require special care, but I also board/sit larger dogs. The important thing is I’ll follow your instructions precisely on how to care for YOUR dog, so when you’re reunited it’s like you never left! :) I work from home with a flexible schedule so I can prioritize your dog’s needs, whether they’re an early riser, require medication, regular exercise or anything else. I live down the street from a dog park. If you’re looking for house sitting I’m happy to do that as well, and will leave your place just as I found it!

“Casey is responsible and my cats love her. This trip was not business and I had no concern leaving for a weekend because she was coming. I am back and all is well. Thank you Casey”

Elliott C.
“Elliott comes and stays in my apartment with my dog, Sammy, whenever I go out of town. Sammy struggles with general anxiety (reactivity, aggression, and requires multiple medications daily), and his care is challenging. Elliott has done an exceptional job every single time, and he is the only person I trust to watch Sammy. Elliott can handle very specific, detailed instructions, respects boundaries, and understands the importance of positive reinforcement. He is patient, gentle, and knows how to interact with fearful dogs. Sammy is always happy to see Elliott and is relaxed and comfortable when I return.”

Kerns pet parents share their Rover experiences
Kat is the best sitter ever!!!!! We have booked Kat many times, and every time we feel so at ease knowing that our kitty is in the best of hands. Kat’s pictures and detailed updates are the highlight of our days while traveling! We are always so happy to return home with a well-loved cat and a pristine home. We are forever grateful for Kat!!!!!!

Olivia was amazing at accommodating my last minute changes to my schedule requests. Winston really enjoyed having them home with him while I was away and I will be booking again!

Matt was extremely communicative during my vacation and provided photos of my cat. He was very attentive and made sure my cat was doing well before leaving. Would highly recommend!

We feel so lucky to have found August! They are such a kind and caring person who truly loves our pup. Communication is always clear and timely, and they’re incredibly reliable—which gives us so much peace of mind. Most importantly, our dog is so well cared for and genuinely happy when they're with August. We’re so grateful to have them in our dog’s life!

This was our first time having Kaylin cat sit for us and she was so communicative! She made sure our cats were well tended to and sent lots of photos. Highly recommend.

Olivia always knocks it out of the park caring for my elderly, medicated cat. She is very communicative and has always handled my last minute modifications with ease. It is great to know Moose is in good hands when I’m away.

Maya is amazing!!! She is super responsive, kind, and very easy to get along with. She took amazing care of my cat and was able to watch my cat last minute which I really appreciated. Maya is just the kind of person that I’d want to watch my cat or any dog, couldn’t recommend more!!!

I’ve worked with Peter countless times now and they are the best! They take the silliest pictures of my sweet Bobby during every visit and are always so accommodating. Thank you Peter!

Evita did a great job with taking care of my cats! Her Rover Card updates always had notes and pictures of them, which I really appreciated. I would happily recommend and book her for future trips!

Amanda was great with my cat! Everything went smoothly and she was very communicative. Got along great with my very anxious kitty.

Loving, loving care for our darling, lonely and grateful Mochi🙏🏽🥰🙏🏽Thank you, thank you kind and generous hearted Alycia🌟🙏🏽🥰🙏🏽🌟Until next time🤩

Desirée did an amazing job! My cat was very happy and I could tell was cozy while we were away. She was also very good at communication, highly recommend hiring her to take car of your pet.

Simon was great with our 3 dogs. Quick to respond to messages and sent frequent photo updates. Great experience. Would book again. Thanks!

I was super stressed out because the original person I had lined up ended up not being a good fit. I also have never used Rover or someone I don't know. Once I met Jordan, I felt relieved. She is super sweet, accommodating, responsible and responds quickly. Me and my Poots lover her and we will be using her from now on. Thank you Jordan!!!

Laura stepped in last minute to do some check ins on our elderly cats for a weekend. She was respectful of our home, and so incrediby caring and gentle with our cats. She followed care and other instructions exactly as listed. I'm so grateful and impressed. 10/10 recommend and will hire again!

I-Hsin was awesome! She was always prompt, provided lots of updates, and the pups seemed to really liked her. It feel nice not having to be stressed about being away, knowing that the dogs were in good hands. Will definitely book with I-Hsin again.

Jordan is the best! She’s wonderful with our cats giving them extra attention and love. Super reliable as well. She’s a real asset for Rover. Paul Y
