“Victoria was an excellent cat sitter when I was on vacation for 9 days! She was very patient and respectful of my anxious cat, giving her treats and working to slowly gain her trust. Victoria was very communicative and sent thorough status updates with pictures. She also went above and beyond her cat sitter duties to communicate and help mitigate an issue we had with the house during her very first visit. Thank you!”
“Toni is a wonderful pet sitter! You can tell that she has a passion for animals and took care of my two cats like they were her own. She was super communicative and flexible, and left my apartment in the exact condition as when I left. I could not recommend her enough and will definitely be asking her back for my next trip. Thank you so much Toni!”
“Adriene was AMAZING with our two dogs, Chole and Luna! She gave them such love and attention. She communicated with us while we were away. This made us feel so comfortable. We knew they girls were being well cared for. We highly recommed Adriene!”
“Jamie was great! Our cats get really anxious when we go away and have even attacked other cat sitters. We warned Jamie all about this before her visits and she didn’t even flinch. Then she took great care of our kitties while we were out of town and communicated with us the whole way. She is a true professional and we will definitely be booking with her in the future!”
“This was my first experience with Rover and Violeta set the bar very high. My cat has a lot of needs and Violeta did a great job meeting those needs and keeping me informed while I was away.”
“Ashley is awesome! She is extremely reliable and responsible. We can always count on her to take good care of our cat and continue to rebook her when she is available 😺”
“Paige did a great job with my high maintenance older cat. He needed medication and 2 visits a day.Paige was very reliable, responsive and my cat was in great spirits when I got home after 4 days. It’s a relief to know my cat was in good hands 😸”
“Claudia took great care of our cats while we were away and handled the insulin shots like a champ! She sent daily updates and pics and it made us so relieved to know our cats were cared for.”
“Lisa is a fantastic cat sitter. She dropped by to check in on our three cats while my husband and I were on vacation. She made sure our cats were well fed, emptied the litter robot when needed, and provided love and attention to the fur babies while we were away. Lisa is very responsive over text, which is so helpful. 10/10 will book again.”
“Andre was amazing with our 3 pups for the week with 2 drop ins per day. He was thorough in his updates and it was clear the pups loved him almost immediately. Will definitely use him again for any needs with our trio and would recommend him for anyone looking for help with their pets!”
“Sarah was great! It was my first time she sat overnight for my cat Katrina, but not the last! Sarah went above and beyond to take care of Katrina providing her with the special feeding instructions and giving her the affection she craved! Sarah also kept in touch morning and evening with photos and updates on anything I needed to know about what Katrina was doing and how Katrina was eating and what was going on with the house. I really appreciate having Sarah as an overnight petsitter for Katrina!”
“She did the most amazing job taking care of my cat. She went above and beyond taking care of her. She was easy to communicate with and always sent such sweet pictures of my cat. Will definitely be booking her again! She was fantastic!”
“Rebecca was amazing! We really appreciate all her attention to our kitties. She sent pictures and communicated periodically with status of both of our cats. She did a great job! We strongly recommend her services!”
“Stephanie was absolutely amazing with our girls! They warmed up to her right away and she got the best pictures of them. I was at ease knowing they were in her care while we were away.”
About: I've been taking care of dogs and cats ever since I was little, though it was mainly on and off. Even still, I have a lot of experience when it comes to dealing with the various behaviors dogs or cats like to exhibit. I can be very patient if your pet if they seem to be shy, or I can play with them all day if they just have WAY too much energy. I'm adaptable and can cater to whatever your pet desires. My main form of transportation is the bus. I work just about all day from Monday-Friday every week. I'm only available on Saturday and Sunday, but it will be for the entire day. I may have to do work on my laptop, however. I will be taking the bus everywhere I go. I cannot have pets inside my own home, so I have no choice but to travel to someone else's in order to pet sit. I care for pets by usually just letting them travel wherever they want inside the house, feeding them, when need be, and playing with them whenever they desire.
“Catalina was amazing and stepped in last minute to help us when arrangements fell through. Our kitty was well loved and spoiled while we were away! She even brought in packages and emptied our trash without even being asked :-)”
“Coleen took care of our dog in her home and also drove to our house to take care of our cat. Our puppy came home happy and worn out from all the fun! Definitely recommend.”
“I had a fantastic experience with this pet sitter! They were not only professional but also incredibly caring and conscientious. It was clear they genuinely loved animals and took the time to ensure my cat was well cared for. I felt completely at ease knowing my Kitty was in such great hands. I will definitely be booking again in the future!”

Melanie cat parents share their Rover experiences
Stephanie was great with our kitties. Mimi & Sammy (even our elusive Bella❤️) loved her visits & the attention she gave them. Stephanie took great care to make sure they were fed, watered & the boxes scooped. She was reliable & we knew we could depend on her to be on time for her visits. Loved the photos she took of the kitties & how responsive she was to my texts. We will definitely have her come for kitty visits in the future.
