“Wonderful with my Colby! Highly recommended. Heather is reliable and was available in a pinch when my sitter was unavailable. She bonded with him quickly and I feel secure with him in her care.”
2. Casey S.
“Casey has been so helpful with our 4 month old puppy. She is flexible and works around our schedule. Oakley and our family is lucky to have her!!”
3. Jose A.
“Jose did an amazing job with Marley! I was able to leave an entire week without having to worry once. Was always on time and walked my dog to the park every time. Marley loved Jose, so much so Marley was playing fetch with sticks which I’ve never seen him do! Jose also took amazing pictures at every check in”
4. Glenmary A.
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ This was my first time using Rover, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience! While I was admitted to the hospital for six days, I knew my cat, Logan, needed more than just someone to stop by and fill his bowl—he needed companionship, playtime, and someone to ensure his environment was safe and comfortable. Glenmary went above and beyond, not only taking incredible care of Logan but also easing my own worries. Her updates, attentiveness, and genuine care made all the difference. I’ve already booked her again, and she will be my number one sitter moving forward. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a compassionate and reliable pet sitter!”
5. Clyanna L.
“So sweet and great communication. I had to go somewhere last minute and Clyanna was so kind about it. I don’t doubt she loved my cat like her own.”
6. Sarah G.
“Sarah was consistent, well organized, and kind. Our dog loved her from the start and it is very clear that she has a real gift for animal care. We so happy that she is a part of our pet’s lives!”
7. Nailah L.
“Nailah's my sister. Animals always loved her. Our dog especially is always by her side and looks to her for care and attention when my dad isn't in the house. She’s usually the one who takes care of most of his needs, from feeding him to taking him out for walks and showing him plenty of love. You can tell our dog feels happiest and safest when he's with her. She’s incredibly responsible, especially when it comes to taking care of our dog. She makes sure he’s well-fed, healthy, and is the first to notice when his behavior changes. She takes her role very seriously and always puts Achilles's needs first, which makes her someone you can rely on when it comes to looking after your animals.”
8. Eleanor W.

9. Ashley C.
“Ashley is a doll! My cat loves her. I’m very thorough with my instructions and Ashley followed everything to a T! I felt very comfortable leaving Ashley in my house and I know my cat was safe. Ashley is definitely my go to sitter for whenever I’m out of town.”

12. Bradley S.
“Bradley did a great job following the instructions during the visits with detail. I was impressed with how he handled my dog being over 100 pounds by establishing himself as a friendly presence before interactions. Highly recommend this young man for future opportunities.”

15. Rachel M.
“Rachel was great and made me comfortable leaving my cats for a week. She sent me pictures and videos like I asked for and seemed to genuinely enjoy spending time with my cats :) Rachel kept an eye on heat warnings in the area and adjusted my AC and fan accordingly & recognized when the cats would enjoy some open-window fresh air which I really appreciated. I would definitely ask Rachel to cat sit again in the future!”

17. Debra E.

18. Natasha B.
“Natasha did a great job with our kitties! This was our first time using the Rover app and we were a little nervous about it, but Natasha sent us updates that put us at the ease (including letting us know when we had packages delivered) and we came home to happy kitties. We will definitely reach out to her the next time we need a sitter.”
