“Helena was really great with taking care of our cats. She sent notes and pictures daily and is very detailed in her updates and communications. Her daughters were really good with Felix. We felt very comfortable with leaving our cats on her care. Really allowed us to relax during our vacation. Would be happy to refer Helena anytime!”
“Siu-Lin took great care of Ringo while I was away. I got regular updates, photos, and could tell my pet was in great hands. She made sure my pet was comfortable, well fed, and entertained. Thank you!”
“This is the first time we've used Rover and previously always had the benefit of a family member to watch Cinni when away. With only a couple of weeks, we suddenly needed to find an alternative. After scouring reviews on Rover we contacted Lisa M, who very fortunately for us was available. Lisa M arrived promptly at the schedule time each day to care for Cinni and provided thorough updates that quickly set our minds at ease and provided us with some great photos of our kitty. Furthermore, Lisa M was able to successfully medicate Cinni each visit, and those cat owners whose pets require medication know how challenging this can be. Based on our experience enthusiastically recommend Lisa M for anyone else who needs a cat sitter and will be contacting her as soon as I schedule our next trip to ensure she is available to care for Cinni.”
“Ana did such a wonderful job checking in on my cat, Skitty! She sent descriptive updates and photos of her time spent with him and communicated very well. Thank you so much, Ana!!!”

Lakeview pet parents share their Rover experiences
We have never used Rover before, But I will highly recommend it, especially Hannah!! What a pleasure to have her for our Pippin!! So attentive to walk & feed her!! Played and walked her 2xs a day!!! Also fed, made sure wee wee pads were always cleaned too. Pippin made new friends this weekend!! Hope she'll be happy to see us now loool
Anna was terrific in every way imaginable - a great communicator, reliable attentive and solid. Like most, we were initially apprehensive about allowing an unknown person to tend to our dog Riley, but the result was spectacular, and we couldn't have been happier. Highly recommended!
Alexis is wonderful!!!! Trustworthy, friendly, and amazing with animals! Alexis watched my kitties when I was away in Europe for a week and I was completely at peace knowing she was watching my fur babies. She was thoughtful and mindful of what my cats needed and kept me updated with each visit with adorable photos! She also took wonderful care of my home and cleaned up the areas around the cat litter. Anyone would be lucky to have Alexis watch their animals. I will definitely be using her again! Thank you Alexis 🤍
