“Cathy Jo watched our two male Main Coon cats for 12 days (2 visits per day) and was awesome. This is the first time we used a professional sitter as we don’t normally stay away this long. Cathy Jo came to a meet and greet and then key pick up visit, I knew we were in good hands when the boys went straight to her. Each visit update and pictures made us feel we had made the right choice! We can’t thank Kathy Jo enough for taking care of our boys as if they were her own.”
“John came to check in on our two cats during a long weekend. Every day, he was punctual and provided a written summary of how they're doing and how they behaved during the check-in, along with pictures. He is very respectful of the space within our home, and is an excellent communicator. While our cats are still learning to adjust to John's presence, he expresses an eagerness to make this transition easier and more comfortable, learning to adjust his own approach with each visit. We look forward to John's check-ins, in the future.”
“Jessica was fantastic with providing clear communication, including updates, photos, and how our pupper was doing! Very pleasant experience and would recommend/have again in the future.”
“Harlee was great for my kitty!! She's been his rover since he was a new kitten and we love using her as our rover :) She always sends lots of pics and is attentive to answering messages. 10/10 recommend!”
“Julia is fantastic!!! She took wonderful care of our kitty and our whole family looked forward to her thoughtful daily messages and photos! Will definitely request her again when we are away!”
“Elijah was very communicative, sent great updates and pics of our sweet cat and also watered our plants and brought packages in while we were out of town. Would recommend and rebook if we need additional pet sitting!”
“Highly recommend Elizabeth! She was great with Huey and sent me updates and photos everyday :) Huey was so happy when I came home, and I know that's because he had a great time with his new friend, haha! Would use her again, for sure.”
“Carina took great care of my sweet kitty, who needs medication morning and night. I felt very relieved to have someone who could manage that while I was out of town. Definitely recommend.”
“Grace was awesome! She was so helpful with toby, always sending me picture updates of her drop in with Toby. I will definitely be reaching out to her again with any help I need with Toby:-)”
“Monique did an excellent job taking care of my two cats while I was out of town! She always sent me updates and daily photos so I could see them every day. I would certainly request Monique’s pet care services again!”
“Amy was a delightful sitter! My original sitter was unresponsive so Amy stepped in LAST minute to feed my cat twice a day over a long weekend. So grateful to know my guy was in very good hands.”
“Thank you for everything Laura!! This was my second time using Laura and she is a great pet sitter. She came by twice a day to check on my cat and sent great updates. I would highly recommend her and I have already booked Laura for the next time I need a sitter.”
“Krista always does a great job taking care of my shy cat and making her feel comfortable around her. She takes her time with Callie and does everything I have asked with feeding, etc.”
“Sierra was great with our older kitten, who was exhibiting signs of anxiety (not eating or using his litter box correctly). She immediately contacted with me, made adjustments and went above and beyond to help clean up and make sure he was comfortable and attended to. He calmed down and we were able to enjoy our extended trip.”
“Brittany was a life saver when I needed a last minute pet sitter to drop in and feed my cat over the holidays. She was quick to respond, kept me updated with photos throughout the week, and just overall was lovely to work with!”
“Danielle and Matt did a great job taking care of my cats, sending pictures and updates, even watered the plants! Take no hesitation booking with these guys, great price, great personality and great care for your cuties while you’re gone.”
“Kristina watched our cat for the first time for 5 days and everything went great! We never had to worry about her dependability. She was prompt and thorough and followed all instructions. She takes great pictures and gives detailed fun report cards. Our cat seemed to warm up to her fast and would snuggle on her lap most days! I would love to have Kristina back again!”

Lakeside cat parents share their Rover experiences
Kristina did a wonderful job taking care of my cat Sam while I was away. When I returned home, he was relaxed and happy. I could tell he had been well cared for and he was not stressed from me being gone for 5 days. I will definitely request Kristina for future pet sitting.
Once again, Steven stepped up when the unexpected happened! I failed to provide the alarm access - and he had to deal with that ALARM sounding and the impact on the kitties. He is always calm and handles all issues with professionalism. Thanks (again!), Steven!
