“Brae was super communicative and proactive. My cats look similar and she was the first sitter to immediately see the difference and treat them like the individuals they are. She clearly cared for my kitties and I felt very comfortable leaving them in her hands”
“Samantha is amazing!!! Always takes such good care of Victor (my fur child). The days that she visits him he’s always happier when I get home. I always pictures and updates as well. Highly recommend Samantha!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs all throughout high school and college! During college I’d walk and dog sit various breeds. I also love cats too :) My significant other and I work from home full time! We have a very flexible schedule and will be willing to work with you to care for your pet. I currently live in a house with a spacious fenced in backyard. When I’ve cared for pets at my house I’ll let them play in the backyard and or take them for a walk around our neighborhood lake.
“Do yourself a favor and book Cassie. She is AMAZING with our three cats and sent us so many pictures and videos — it put huge smiles on our faces every day we were away!”
“Melissa was great. She was responsive, timely, and left pictures and notes after each visit. We felt so comfortable working with her since this is our first time using Rover. Would definitely recommend!”
“Abigail was an amazing cat sitter! She took such great care of my cat and made me feel completely at ease while I was away. She was attentive, responsible, and clearly loves animals. I reallyyyy appreciated the updates as she’s an older cat that requires medications and got lots of photos, it was obvious my cat was comfortable and well cared for the whole time. I came home to a happy cat and everything just as I left it. I’m already booking her again.”
“Erik was so great and patient with my senior pup. His affection for animals really shows and she adored him. Great communication with fun and detailed reports from each visit. We will definitely be using his services again and I highly recommend him.”

“My husband and were in Denver foe some music at Red Rocks, hiking, museum lurking, etc. we brought our two older dogs who quickly revealed were not into hiking Our VRBO owner recommended Rover and we luckily found Debra ! She made friends easily with our reserved older pups and gave us a great sense of security leaving our pups in her care! She kept us updated with photos which was very reassuring. We were extremely pleased and will definitely use Debra again and again and ….. thank you so very much !”

“Chelsea was fantastic with Bandit and Laila! She was available and extremely responsive when we requested her services for a drop in visit very last minute. She provided photos and detailed updates, which we appreciated. Would absolutely work with her again!”
“Greg and Hilary are fantastic pet sitters! From the very first meeting, they were incredibly patient and kind — my 11-year-old wanted to give them the full rundown of instructions, and they listened attentively to every detail without rushing her at all. It clearly meant a lot to her that Greg and Hilary took it so seriously. They were flexible and accommodating throughout the whole process, and kept us updated with photos and check-ins while we were away. We will absolutely be booking with him again!”
“This is our second time having Sheryl take care of our cats and she continues to be absolutely wonderful. The updates are so sweet and we love getting the pictures. Sheryl is our go-to for all future vacations!”
“Phinea watched my two cats for a week while I was out of town. She was AMAZING!!! She gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. I could tell immediately that Phinea *knows* cats by the way she introduced herself to my cats and the way they immediately felt comfortable with her. She sent me loads of pics each visit and detailed notes, and it was obviously my kitties were getting lots of love & attention and were having so much fun playing with her. I will 100% be hiring Phinea again next time I go out of town. 10/10 !!!!”
“Megan was so nice and friendly - she even worked with my crazy work travel schedule. I really appreciate her taking care of my companion while I was on the road. He seemed happy and comfortable while I was away and that was a huge relief to me. Thank you again Megan. Rigby and I appreciate you!”
“Jessica was great! Each day she sent nice photos and detailed reports of how our kitties were doing. She also spent time keeping them company and playing with them during the visits. I would definitely rebook with her in the future!”
Lakeside cat parents share their Rover experiences
Andrew is incredibly knowledgeable about cat behavior and made us very comfortable while we were away and our cat was home, alone. Andrew provided detailed feedback about each visit and kept us in the loop around our cat's emotional/mental state. We will be using Andrew again in the future and would recommend him to any neighbors looking for a cat sitter.
Ari and Sarah were excellent with Queso and Nugget! They sent us a whole lot of pictures and videos while we are away and went the extra mile to take care of our two cats! They brought a new toy and that really excited both the little ones! They were also very kind and communicative!
Grace was absolutely wonderful with my cat, Bowie! She was incredibly affectionate and attentive, making sure he felt loved and comfortable the entire time I was away. Grace did such a fantastic job that I could travel with total peace of mind. I highly recommend her!
