“This was our first experience using Rover. Thank you for making it so easy. Macy S was the best! She was so polite and conscientious. She sent the cutest pictures of our cats warming up to her and it made us feel relieved they were safe so we could enjoy our time away from them. Overall very positive experience. Would use Rover again.”
“Elizabeth was wonderful with Macho! You could tell from the pictures and videos that he was so happy to see her and receive some love and attention. He had just started his diabetes medication, and we felt very comfortable knowing she was there to help administer it while we were away. Thank you for spending time with our boy, Macho!”
“Molly is the absolute best! I was Leary about hiring a stranger to come into my home. But Molly is very professional, and she sincerely cares sooooo much about my pet. She explained the ins and outs of the “Rover” policies, which insure a safe experience for both parties. I will recommend Molly to all my friends and family. My kitty and I just love her, and will be hiring her again and again.”
“Jayda was super professional and took great care of my cats for a few days! I booked her pretty last minute and even had to modify my booking a couple times, and she was more than accommodating. I will definitely book her again in the future!”
About: My first German Shepard, Sheeba, trotted into my life when I was 4, and my intense, burning passion for dogs ignited. I’ve had them throughout my life and have yet to meet a dog I didn’t adore. Basically, I’m the guy at house parties in the office alone smooshing your pup’s face and giving them belly rubs. I’m comfortable with all sorts of breeds and temperaments. I work remote in a deadline based job that offers me some excellent flexibility. I’m able to be on site with your dog throughout the day, ensuring they get plenty of attention and outside time. When I’m caring for your dog, I’m caring for your family member. I know firsthand the amount of trust it takes to allow someone to be responsible for your loved one(s) and respect your property, and I don’t take that lightly.
“I have used Donna to care for my two cats since I moved here this past January. I have been so fortunate to find the BEST cat sitter. She's taken the time to actually befriend my "shiest cat in the world." I can recommend Donna wholeheartedly should you be lucky enough to find her with free time!”
“Kayleah is great! She helped us out last minute and was so efficient with communication during our time away. Our cat is also very particular about strangers and she did a great job taking care of him. We will continue to book her if we ever need someone to take care of our little fur babies while we’re gone.”
“Kelsey did a great job caring for our two kitties. She was responsive and communicative and very easy to work with. We received photos and written updates at every visit. We will happily use her again when our neighbor children are unavailable.”
“Penny was my favorite sitter so far. She was great at communicating before, during, and after the trip. She left my house almost better than it was before I left. But most importantly, she bonded with my cats. I felt completely at ease while away because I could tell by her messages and photos that she genuinely liked my cats. Bonus... She also has a sense of humor. I will definitely be booking with Penny again.”
“Our cats were very well taken care of. Samantha provided daily feedback and pictures. She even got the picky one to eat and sit with her. Would happily have her pet sit for us again.”
“Sarah was absolutely the best with my two kitties!! She went above and beyond with them- and cared for my home like it was her own, too. Both of my cats eat different kinds of food, one day there was extra wet food to discard and she took the extra step to actually take my trash out so there wasn’t a smell when I came home. She was very communicative the whole time and sent the cutest updates on every drop in. Having the peace of mind while I was away with her as my sitter was really irreplaceable. I will definitely be coming back to her for pet care going forward! 😊”
“Paige was wonderful with our kitties. They were happy when we returned, so we could tell they'd gotten lots of snuggles. And she pilled our senior cat twice a day, which isn't the easiest task. We'll definitely reach out to her again!”
“Thor takes VERY good care of our very shy, needy, and picky cat. She's got her own way of doing everything and really doesn't like many people. But, when we get back, she's totally relaxed and acts like we haven't been gone at all. Thor is somehow able to keep her happy. Amazing!”
“Alli was absolutely amazing! She was very responsive and did a fantastic job taking care of our cats while we were away. I would wholeheartedly recommend her and would be honored to have her as our rover again! :)”
“Brenna as always is the perfect cat sitter! She spends a lot of time playing with our 2 cats on her visits and they know her well and are always excited to see her. She asks all the right questions and sends me lots of pics and videos not only of the cats but also of when she feeds them, etc.”

Brian C.
“Brian is an outstanding petsitter and pet owner who is caring, attentive, and reliable. He treats his pup like a queen and shes very well loved and cared for. Brian is an early bird too which can be a good match if your pet is an early riser. He’s also great photographer and has taken some of my favorite pictures of my cat and my parent’s dog. I would highly recommend Brian as a pet caregiver if you’re looking for a trustworthy person who loves animals.”
