“Amanda is awesome! We left the country for a week and had her stop by to spend some time with the kitty 2x/ day. I was at ease the entire trip knowing he was in good hands (and receiving lots of love & affection.) She always sends the best pics and leaves the house super tidy!”
2. Christa L.
“This was our first time using Rover and we will certainly be asking Christa to cat sit in the future. Our kitty is very attached to us so when Christa kept us informed with her visits, including pictures, we were so relieved. She was exceptional ! Thank you, Christa!”
3. Kimberly Q.
“I was nervous about leaving my cats alone for the first time. However, the first check-in put me at ease. Kimberly was awesome with my girls, sending pictures and an update every day, and she arrived at the same time each day, spending 30 minutes with them. It was clear from the very first visit that they were in good hands, and Maya and Chloe were clearly happy. I would definitely use Kimberly again.”

“It was my first time using Rover for a last minute booking while traveling. Simone was great! Thank you so much for easing my mind while enjoying my time away!”
5. Emily M.
“Emily was an amazing pet sitter to our two cats. This was our first time using Rover and Emily M made the experience very positive. She was so sweet with our cats and kept us updated about how they were adjusting! One of our cats is a bit shy and we came home to a calm cat! Our house was in great condition as well! I highly recommend Emily M!”

7. Melissa & Scott F.
“Melissa and Scott watched my two cats for a day while my house was being worked on and they were AMAZING!!! I’ve never felt more comfortable leaving them in someone’s care. I got updates throughout the day and they catered to my boys’ needs awesomely. They were able to give them their own quiet space and let them relax for the day. When we got home the boys picked up right where we left off. Before when I’ve had to take them somewhere for a day or two they come back a little freaked out and it takes them a few days to readjust. None of that happened when they came home from Melissa and Scott. I can’t say how much I appreciate a safe, calm space for them when we really need it. 10/10 they’ll be my go to for any care I need for them in the future. THANK YOU!!”
8. Mayzie G.
“Mayzie was the best cat sitter we’ve ever had! She asked thoughtful questions in advance to make sure she understood both our cat’s personalities and needs. She didn’t just come do the basic duties- she loved on our cats, played with them and talked to them. Our cats can be shy and hid, but they started waiting for her in their play area, knowing she was coming around a certain time. In addition, she sent us pictures every day and send a little update on their well-being. My heart was so happy! I was hesitant to leave a review for fear she would book up too quickly! We are so grateful for Mayzie and look forward to using her again!”
9. Bailey B.
“Bailey went above and beyond for us while we went on vacation! Our kitty Possum is 17 years old and leaving her home alone while we are away for an extended period of time can make us feel a little uneasy, but Bailey made us feel that she was in good hands right from the get-go at our "meet and greet" session. Possum is usually a scaredy cat and very cautious around strangers (if she even comes out at all), but Bailey showed her patience and was very gentle with her when they first met, allowing Possum to warm up to her right away with a few sniffs and head pets. Bailey asked us all the right questions about how to best take care of her while we were gone, making us feel very comfortable having her in our home and checking in on Possum. While we were gone, Bailey sent us some AMAZING (and silly) shots of our bean as well as detailed updates about how the visit went and how she was doing. She even went above and beyond and brought in our mail and packages while we were away. We would recommend Bailey for anyone who is looking for someone who will do everything they can to take care of your furry friend, especially for those who have a timid cat like we do. We will definitely be reaching out to her again in the future!”
10. Olivia B.
“Olivia is amazing with animals, she absolutely loves and would do everything in her power to accommodate any type of animal. On my trips to Colorado I have olivia baby sit my cat Lucas. She takes him in with no issue and without me having to ask separated Lucas from her dog as well. She Lucas isn’t supper affectionate with many people but anytime she comes Lucas immediately greets her at the door and rubs against her legs. She would be amazing caregiver for any animal.”
11. Jessica B.
“Jessica is amazing sitter. Such wonderful attention to detail with everything. Loved how she interacted with our babies, and we looked forward to all the photos. Highly recommend her!”
12. Oana A.
“Our cat, Butters, had such a good experience! This was the first time we had to leave Butters since we adopted him from a shelter. He likes to be around people and we didn't think he would do well alone in the house with a sitter only visiting once or twice a day. We didn't know how he would do with a dog but Ari is a very friendly, laid-back dog and they got along great. Oana sent us photos during our trip and Butters looked so happy that we wondered whether he might not want to come home with us! We have another trip coming up and I'm hoping that Oana will be available again. HIGHLY recommend.”
13. Crysta R.
“Crysta did a fabulous job cat sitting Miss Mable and person sitting me! She gained Miss Mable's trust so much so that Miss Mable clearly enjoyed her affectionate visits. As for me, half way across the country, I was reassured all was in good order by Crysta's daily texts with photos of them together. Totally enabled me to relax and enjoy my time away. Thank you Crysta!”
14. Jessica S.
“Jessica was wonderful! Very professional and great with my 2 cats! They both loved her and I appreciated her quickness to communicate and send photos!! She was our first Rover sitter, and we will definitely be using her again!”
15. Michelle M.
“Michelle has been watching my dog for years. She truly loves animals and takes the best care of my dog when I am out of town. She makes sure my dog gets all her medications and that she gets lots of love while I am away.”
16. Emma M.
“Emma is the BEST! She was available extremely last minute when my husband and I had to go out of town for a family emergency. She still found time in her day to make sure she did a meet and greet to meet our babies before we left. The whole time we were away she was sending us pictures and staying in communication with us so we knew our fur babies were in good hands. Leaving your pets while traveling can be stressful but Emma truly made sure we had nothing to worry about! We have a newly diagnosed diabetic cat and she made sure he got his insulin twice a day. Your pets are in great hands with Emma, and I cannot recommend her enough!”
17. Claire S.
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my dedication to understanding each pet's unique needs and providing personalized care. For any dogs, i know how to handle their special needs, like administering medication(oral) and providing gentle, appropriate exercise. My attention to detail ensures that every pet feels comfortable and loved, whether they're young or old. Plus, I always keep communication open with pet owners to make sure they're updated and reassured about their pet's well being Pet care fits into my daily routine by making sure I have specific times set aside for feeding, exercise, and play. In the mornings, I start with feeding and a walk or some playtime, depending on the pet. Throughout the day, I check in on them, make sure they have fresh water, and give them some attention. In the evenings, there's usually another round of feeding and of course walks! When I care for pets in my home, I make sure they have a cozy space with all their essentials like food, water, and a comfy spot to relax. I stick to a routine for feeding and exercise, and I give them plenty of love and attention. Dogs get regular walks and playtime.

“Carolina has always been a very loving and mindful pet caregiver for my pets throughout the years. On multiple occasions I have asked her to watch my three dogs while I was either working/on vacation and each time my dogs have been treated above and beyond.”

About: I have been dogsitting/dog walking for family members, friends and neighbors around my community for about 4 years now. I love pet play dates! I am happy to say I am comfortable with senior dog care. I am currently in radiology school along with working a part time job. My day time schedules tend to be pretty busy although after 5 my schedule is very flexible! I have one dog and four cats! some of my fur babies new certain medications multiple times a day. I am happy to say that I am pretty responsible for making sure your fur babies have their medications and certain needs. I will be sure your fur babies are taken care of fully!!
20. Alexandria F.
“Alex is a wonderful person and has so many great qualities. Alex has cared for my 6 dogs all at once ( yes 6 I know it’s crazy ) but she loved my dogs unconditionally and I could not have been more happy with how well they were taken care of and how well she was with them! She truly is great with animals and I would highly recommend her for you if you need care for your pets, you will not regret it, your pets will be happier than ever! It is a hard feeling leaving your pets that you love in someone else’s hands but Alex was amazing and exceeded all expectations and wants and I know my pets felt so loved and that they were well taken care of!”
