“Amazing!! Best catsitter ever!! Ivy took amazing care of my cat while I was away for several weeks. When I returned, my apartment was cleaner than when I left. I would recommend Ivy to anyone looking for a kind, caring, & compassionate pet sitter.”


“Heather is so sweet with Henri and he loved getting all the snuggles and walks. She is also very patient with him while he gets the hang of potty training.”


“Marraya was an awesome sitter! She arrived right on time and was easy to communicate with throughout the process. Super friendly, responsible, and treated my pup so well -- will definitely use Marraya again soon!”


“I could not be happier with Sara! This was my first time having a non-family member watch my dog while I was out of town and I was so nervous about it. I looked at a lot of options before deciding on Sara and am so glad I did - Sara stayed at my place and with Sasha for two weeks. She took such wonderful careful of Sasha and sent me multiple pictures and updates every day. Sasha clearly loved her and Sara treated her like her own, making me feel so at ease and letting me enjoy my vacation without worrying about her. On top of that, she left my apartment just as clean as I left it. I will definitely be using Sara in the future and am so relieved to have found someone I can trust! Could not recommend Sara more.”

I could tell our Auggie really enjoyed his time with her. I wish she didn’t have to go back to school, because it is so hard to find good trustworthy care.

Hannah also took the I utmost care of our home, which we appreciated so much!”

Little Italy pet parents share their Rover experiences
Amelia was fantastic with our dog Gatsby, she instinctively knew what to do and how to look after her. she also sent an update and photos which I was grateful for. Would definitely recommend Amelia for taking care of your dog and would love to have her hanging out with Gatsby again.

Paige did an amazing job caring for my senior dog, who typically gets anxious when I’m away. She was so sweet and communicative- I got regular updates that put my mind at ease! I came home to a calm, happy pup and an apartment that looked just as I left it. Truly couldn’t have asked for better care! Highly recommend!

Kyle was so amazing, very easy to work with and incredibly sweet with our pup. Very grateful to him and highly recommend!

Deborah was great as usual. Took excellent care of my two cats and I didn’t have to worry about a thing while I was traveling. Highly recommend

Aksel did a great job with our dog. He went above and beyond by taking him to the dog park multiple times, seamlessly administering multiple oral medications, and sending lots of pictures. We came home to a very clean house and a happy dog. Highly recommend!

Isabel goes above and beyond to care for Banjo! He can be a bit of a diva and a picky eater. She is so patient with him, and always checking in with me on how to get give him the best care. He is so sad when she leaves but I can tell he’s had a great day. Would highly recommend her!

Olive took great care of my cat while I was away, and I felt completely at ease knowing he was in good hands. She even tidied up my place before I got back, which was such a thoughtful surprise. Highly recommend!

Lindsay was a great caretaker of my puppy pug, Phoebe. I haven’t been apart from Phoebe since getting her, so I was nervous about it. Lindsay took her to the park, and took lots of pictures of her for me. She was also a great house guest!! I’d definitely recommend

Lizzie stayed with my senior dog, Gypsy, for a week in our home and was a great sitter! She kept my dog on her meds and walk schedule and kept me updated with end of day recap of photos. The fact she works from home was a bonus to ensure Gypsy always had some company. I appreciated her communication and kept my apartment tidy while I was away.

Gabriela was a super sweet sitter who was always quick to respond to any messages. My dog and cat were in great shape after her stay and my apartment was spic and span.

Erin was extremely communicative, sent so many pics and left our home clean and tidy! Very grateful to her for the attention she put into her time with our pup. Thank you !

This was our fifth time booking Meric, and as always, he took amazing care of Sam. During a stretch of particularly hot weather, he thoughtfully adjusted Sam’s walks to keep him safe and comfortable, and he was incredibly flexible when we needed to change our travel dates. It’s such a relief knowing Sam is in such attentive, reliable hands — we can’t recommend Meric enough!

Kobi is very communicative and responsible with frequent photos and updates. Was helpful in grabbing more kibble when we ran out. Sully was well taken care of!

Mark was INCREDIBLE! My dog got a stomach bug while I was away and he handled everything. The house was left cleaner than when I left for vacation. I would recommend him
Eloise was amazing! I cannot thank her enough for her amazing work. I asked her to sit over Fourth of July weekend after my previous Sitter had backed out last minute, and she was so responsive and fast and helped me in a really tight situation! She took amazing care of the house, she was very responsive and sent many photos, and she left the place in amazing condition. She was even so kind to leave a thank you note and a hand stitch keychain with Kota‘s name on it! It’s so cute, and such a nice touch. I cannot recommend her enough! Please book her.

Fara was incredible! She was warm, attentive, and so caring with Lottie. She took Lottie on so many adventures all around the city, making sure to give her just the right amount of exercise, rest, water, and love, and sending me picture updates of all their excursions. I felt so comfortable because she kept me in the loop while I was away. I could not recommend her more highly!! <3

Jamie was wonderful! He was very communicative, immediately got along with my dog, and showed up exactly on time. He sent multiple photos a day of his adventures with Pedro and took great care of him and the apartment. I would book him again, highly recommend!

Ashley has taken such a great care of my dogs, Gloria and Finn while I travel. I would highly recommend her to anyone.

Wonderful first dog watching experience with Lu and Clay! They sent tons of updates and made us feel completely comfortable while we were away, also left the apartment in excellent condition. Thanks again, really appreciate you taking such good care of our boy!
