“Wonderful sitter! Denise came and checked on our cat while we were out of town and went above and beyond with providing updates and even brought our garbage cans in for us. We felt great knowing we were leaving our kitty in such good hands and she was well cared for while we were away.”
“Anna was amazing!! We had a few situations arise that she was so gracious to adjust to meet the needs of our fur babies. I cannot recommend her enough and brag on the care and love she gave our dogs!”
“Zo takes phenomenal care of my dog and I trust him 100% with his care. My dog loves to see Zo walk through the door and Zo displays uncommon kindness and generosity to make sure my dog is happy and healthy.”
“Brooke took great care of my kitty while I was away. She kept me updated and is honest and reliable. I felt confident that my fur baby was in loving and caring hands. I highly recommend Brooke.”
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Allison was absolutely amazing with my cat while I was away! From the start, she was communicative, friendly, and clearly cares deeply about animals. She followed all feeding instructions perfectly, kept his water fresh, and even spent time playing with him (which he loved — she quickly figured out his favorite toys!). She sent me daily updates and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind while traveling. It’s clear she treats pets like her own, and I could tell she went above and beyond to make sure he was comfortable and entertained. I’ll absolutely be booking with Allison again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, reliable, and genuinely caring sitter.”
“Melissa did a phenomenal job watching after my baby kitties! I will definitely be calling on her again the next time I have to go out of town. One of my cats is a bit ornery and has to take insulin shots. Melissa had no issues getting my baby to warm up to her and give her the shots daily. This made me so happy and at ease while being away. Highly recommend!!!!”
“Avonlea was a wonderful choice for a check in visit! She had great communication and generally felt very trustworthy. I’d definitely use her again & will recommend her to my friends!”
“Elana was our first experience using Rover and won’t be our last. She was incredibly responsive and took excellent care of our 10mo Great Dane. She sent us daily updates and spent some extra time giving our boy some love. I highly recommend her and will be sure to seek her out next time we go away, our pup was super happy when we came home and you could tell he wasn’t stressed a bit. Huge relief for us because this was the first time we left him. Thanks Elana!!!!”
“I was hesitant on letting a complete stranger in my home but as soon as I met Felicia, my concern was gone as she was super sweet and extremely personable. I can’t say enough how appreciative I am to Felicia for her willingness to accept my last minute request over the 4th of July holiday weekend. She was absolutely amazing and will 100% be using Felicia again!”
“Jessi is absolutely wonderful and took incredible care of our pack while we were away! We could tell from regular updates with adorable photos they were being well cared for and loved. It was such a relief knowing our fur babies were in such capable and caring hands. If you’re looking for someone reliable, responsible, and truly passionate about animals, Jessi is the best, and we’ll definitely be booking them again. Highly recommend!”
“I love the way she kept me updated about everything and reaching out to me without hesitation for any questions. Great communication and amazing service my cat enjoyed having you take care of him!”
“If I could give Jasmin 10 stars, I would, but Rover only allows five! She took the time to do a meet and greet with me and my 8-week old puppy. Jasmin is ALWAYS on time which is important to me because we are potty training. She provides recaps with photos and a note. She also came to my rescue on very short notice. I will use Jasmin’s services for as long as I can. ☺️”
“Skylar has such a get energy and it’s obvious that she loves animals! She did a great job with my dog Beau and even gave him some extra cuddle time which I know he loved! Thank you Skylar!”
About: I am a current veterinary student at the University of Tennessee College of Veterinary Medicine, where I am pursuing companion animal medicine. I have spent the past 2 years working in a vet clinic, where a majority of my experience has been working with cats and dogs of all ages and sizes. I am new to Rover, but I have 10+ years of experience pet sitting and taking care of others’ fur babies! I am a full time veterinary student, typically at school 8 am - 5 pm, Monday through Friday. I can offer drop in visits a couple of times during weekdays, but I am available to spend more time with your pets on the weekends. I am unable to care for pets in my home, but I am more than happy to commute to take care of your pet(s) at your home. I strive to make your pet(s) feel loved and comfortable while you’re gone by playing and loving on them, taking them for walks, administering medications if needed, etc.
About: I have had pets my entire life!!! From puppies and kittens to older dogs, I have been around a ton of animals! I have also worked with aggressive and shy dogs too! I am currently a student, so I have lots of breaks during the day in between classes! I do remote work as well so my schedule is pretty open! I have an apartment and plenty of space to take care of a dog. I am great with walking dogs and know a lot of parks and spots for dogs to play in the area!
“My dogs were happy to have Chelcie come visit them! She took good care of them and was able to assist when my trip was extended an extra day. I liked the updates and felt confident that my kids were safe and happy. Well use her any time I have to travel without them.”

Mechanicsville pet parents share their Rover experiences
Allison was amazing! She stopped by to check in on my cat, Nuts, while I was out of town and did a great job. She was very communicative, sending me plenty of updates and photos so I knew Nuts was happy and well cared for. I’ll definitely be booking with her again the next time I’m away.
Claire was an amazing sitter! She kept me updated the entire time and was quick to problem solve when my high maintenance cat threw some curve balls. She cared for her just like we would and I got to enjoy my weekend because I knew she was in good hands. We will definitely use her again in the future!
CANNOT RAVE ENOUGH!!! I’ve had rough experiences with sitters before so my anxiety was high! But The pictures she sent they looked so happy and definitely well cared for🙂 she also made sure to stay in communication with me which is amazing!! I will for sure use her again!!!
Reese was the very best cat sitter for my cat, Bennett! She is always quick to respond to our messages, completes everything on our checklist, and sends the best photos when you need them most. In the past we would come home to Bennett being highly anxious. However, this time, we could tell he was the most at ease we have ever seen. I highly recommend Reese to anyone who is looking for a reliable and caring cat sitter!
Sijal was great! The food we had left in a sealed container on the porch for our cat disappeared (the whole container was gone!). She was so helpful and bought more food for him since we were out of the country. She took pictures every day and did exactly what we needed her to do.
