“Paula did a great job watching our two cats! She sent lots of pictures each day and was great at communicating! I felt bad I kept bothering her with little tasks because the cats would push things over or turn things off but she never had an issue with anything!”
“This was Colin’s first time caring for my 2 cats and he did a fantastic job. He was prompt, communicated well, sent pics, and it seems the cats loved him. Thank you Colin!”

“Erica is an absolutely fantastic pet sitter and I can't recommend her highly enough! She took such good care of my two cats, despite a last minute health issue with one of them. I'll definitely be asking her to sit for me again!”
“Serena did a wonderful job caring for our cats while we were away. She was incredibly accommodating and professional. We would definitely use her services again.”
“Crystal was amazing with our 2 cats, especially my shy little guy. They absolutely loved her as she made sure they were fed, played with, and given attention.

“Ellie was a great pet-sitter!! She very kindly rolled with the punches when we had trouble with my spare key and updated my reservation to reflect date changes. Plus, my cat loved her company. I'll definitely reach back out to her next time I'm out of town!”

“This was my first experience using Rover, and I have to say, Malika is a very professional, friendly, and kind person. 100% recommend her services and I would personally book with her again when needed. I had a last minute situation and needed to board my pets ASAP - she agreed to take them in the very next day! Above all, she had great communication and kept me in the loop with how the pets were doing (sent pictures/videos). I could clearly tell my pets loved their stay. I can confidently say you can trust her with your fur babies. Thank you so much again, Malika!”
“Jessica is amazing! She watched our two little kitty girls for 4 days while we were gone & we are so thankful. She was intentional to communicate well the entire time, sent pictures every visit, & went above & beyond to spend time with them! It’s always nice to know someone is taking good care of your babies & Jessica did just that”
“There is no other person I would let watch my farm for 2 weeks strait, other than Ingrid. She is the best!! Being able to travel and not worry about my fur babies is such a relief! I can’t recommend her enough!”
About: I've had dogs since I was little—mostly medium or small breeds—and I’ve always been passionate about getting one of my own. Dogs truly are man's best friend, and they motivate me to get outside for walks and explore the city. I’m always happy to take care of their needs, whether that’s feeding them, cleaning up after them, or even house-sitting for a couple of hours. I work 3 days a week for 12 hours at a hospital. My schedule change every week, as well as working every other weekend. However, I do have 4 days off every week that I am motivated to walk dogs. They bring happiness which I would love to experience. On my off days I am very bored and have the entire day to play with the dog or take them on up to 2/3 walks. Unfortunately pets are not allowed in my apartment building, however, I love pets and have cared for them my entire life. I am interested in walking dogs or drop in visits.
“Thank you so much Amalia for checking in on my cat Parker! I really appreciate your updates and flexibility when my flight got changed”
“Outstanding sitter!!!! We have one very playful kitten and one more shy adult cat. He was so playful and entertaining to our kitten and brought our very shy cat totally out of her shell. She usually does not interact with strangers but a few visits in she was greeting him at the door. We are very attached to our girls and between his daily updates and photos it put us at ease knowing they were in good hands. 🐈⬛ 🐈”
“Sarita was attentive and went above and beyond!”
About: ✅ Lived Experience: With five cats of my own, plus fostering, rescuing, and TNR work, I get cats—their quirks, body language, and unique needs. ✅ Routine-Oriented Care: I prioritize your pet’s comfort by sticking to their familiar schedule (play, meals, litter) to minimize stress. ✅ Home Advocate: I treat your space and time with respect (no surprise travel disruptions!) and give pets the same patience and attention as my own. I work from home and rarely travel (unless planned for way in advance). Perfect for last-minute requests or regular visits. Your pet's care fits my schedule! I believe pets are happiest in their own familiar environment, so I prioritize keeping their routine as consistent as possible—whether it’s feeding times, play, or cuddles. In your home, I treat your pets with the same love and attention as I do my own five cats, ensuring they feel safe and content while you’re away. Respect for your space and their comfort is always my top priority.

“Melina was great! She took very good care of our cat while we were out of town. She sent photos and updates after every visit, which was appreciated! I would highly recommend her!😊”
About: I love animals deeply and treat all pets like my own. Family, friends, coworkers, and neighbors have always felt safe leaving their animals in my care. Plenty of free time as I have just moved back from London completing my masters and taking this summer off and would preferably spend it with more animals! Caring for pets is a natural part of my routine—I’ve always made space in my life for animal companionship (even as I was abroad). Whether it’s morning walks, midday play sessions, or evening cuddles, I genuinely love making animals feel safe and loved throughout the day. Spending time with pets isn’t just a responsibility or a job for me—it’s something I look forward to daily and consider a joyful part of my lifestyle. In the home of my clients I will always look out for choking hazards and ensure I see the animals in my care drinking water. I approach each pet's care with attention to their routine, personality, and comfort. I follow feeding and medication instructions carefully, keep their environment clean/enriched, and make sure they have companionship and mental stimulation. Clear communication with pet parents helps me tailor care to each animal’s unique needs.

Mary C.
“To Whom It May Concern, I am writing to recommend my sister, Marycate Carroll, as a potential dog walker for Rover. As someone who has known her all my life, I can confidently say that she is one of the most responsible, caring, and trustworthy individuals I know, and her love for animals is no secret. Mary has always had a natural connection with dogs. Whether it's our old family dogs, Scooby and Gus, or dogs she meets in the neighborhood, she has a calm and confident energy that animals respond to. She is attentive to their needs, and genuinely enjoys spending time with them—whether it's going on long walks, making sure they get enough exercise, or simply keeping them company. But most importantly, she knows how to get dogs to listen when needed. Mary is incredibly reliable and organized. She understands the importance of punctuality and clear communication. You can count on her to show up on time, follow any specific instructions, and ensure each dog gets the care and attention they deserve. I have no doubt that any dog would be in excellent hands with Mary, and that pet owners will feel completely at ease knowing she's taking care of their furry friend.”
