“Olivia was excellent. She was communicative and responsive, she also reasonably accommodated a date change me last minute. I’d highly recommend Olivia. My dogs were well taken care of!”
“This was our first time using the Rover.com service, and first time working with Jackie, and we could not be more pleased and grateful. Jackie is thoughtful, easy to work with, and very responsive. Plus, she sent us a daily message with photos of our cat while we were traveling, which made the days and distance melt away. We plan on getting in touch with Jackie again the next time we travel.”
“Camille was fabulous! Stitch was well taken care of. Meeting before hand was perfect. Easy and flexible on the scheduling. I'll definitely have Camille back. :)”
“Cydnie is a lifesaver and we are so lucky to have found her. Our original plans fell through for a sitter and we requested her help last minute on Rover. She promptly responded and was always perfectly on time for every drop in. Our two cats immediately took to her and she really cared about them. She has amazing attention to detail, intelligent, trustworthy, and knows a lot about cats so I felt relieved she was taking care of our babies. We could definitely relax on our trip knowing she was taking good care of such an important part of our life. We will definitely be return customers. Thank you so much Cydnie!”
“Aria is reliable and good with communication. She went above and beyond offering to water my plants and bringing in my package. Coconut is a cat with a dog personality, and Aria is a perfect fit for my playful baby.”
“Alexander took excellent care of our cats. He tends to the details, filling extra bowl of kibbles etc. Our two cats are typically shy from strangers but they got along with Alexander right away. Will definitely come back!”
“I think Mel did a good job. Our Woody seems happy. I was amazed at the amount of fur she too off him, as I had brushed him often but was cautious about "overdoing" because my husband did that once and "drew blood" on his back, near his tail. Maybe this will cause his "urp'ing" to diminish. Judy”
“We booked with Mik a little last minute a week before our two week international trip when our initial sitter was a no show for a meet and greet, and we are so glad we did! Mik was professional, and excellent communicator, and was very flexible working together with a family member who was also caring for our pets; especially when new challenges came up (our cat was hospitalized the weekend before we left for a urinary blockage). She was awesome at interacting with our pets at the level they were comfortable with, and I could tell that they became buds by the end of our trip! ☺️ We also appreciated all of the pictures and details we were given during her home visits, as well as how Mik put in the effort to provide engagement and stimulation for our pets on a variety of ways. I would definitely recommend booking with her, and we hope to do so again in the future!”

“Yini was amazing! She came and did visits to care for our cat for about three weeks and did an excellent job taking care of him. She sent us so many sweet photos of him and were confident he was in good hands.”
“Alexis did a fantastic job taking care of my cat Poppy! Incredibly responsive and sent many photos and updates so I felt at ease while away traveling. Would highly recommend her services to anyone in need of a cat sitter. Thanks again!”
“Junbo was reliable, professional, and very attentive while taking care of my cat. She clearly paid close attention to my cat’s needs and even noticed that her nails needed trimming, which she kindly took care of. I really appreciated the extra care and thoughtfulness she showed. It gave me peace of mind knowing my cat was in good hands. I would definitely recommend Junbo to anyone looking for a trustworthy and responsible pet sitter.”
“Lexi was great! Came and let our Cortez out and got treats too (as a bargaining chip because he’s silly like that)! Definitely recommend her to come see your pup for the day for a walk/play/bathroom break!”

“This was my first time booking with Polina, and she did great! Our kitty was well cared for, we came home to a happy cat and a clean bathroom. Polina followed all the instructions with attention and really spent time to interact with our cat vs just cleaning and feeding. The daily reports and videos were helpful and gave us peace of mind. I do recommend Polina!”
About: I’m relatively new to pet sitting, at least getting paid for it!! I watch my sisters two cast and rats all the time!! I have flexibility hours and date. I currently going to school part time and when I’m not in class I’m outside riding my bike or walking around looking for a sweet treat. I am very detailed oriented so I am good at following step by step instructions. I want to ensure that your pet has a stress free experience.
“I recently had Mackenzie care for my four cats over a 6-day period, and I couldn't be more impressed. She went above and beyond in every way: Reliability & Responsibility: Mackenzie stayed on top of all the essentials; fresh food and water daily, spotless litter boxes, and consistent care throughout her visits. Communication & Peace of Mind: What really set her apart was the amazing pictures she sent! Getting regular updates with photos of my cats playing, napping, and enjoying themselves made the time away so much easier. It's clear she genuinely cares about keeping pet parents informed and reassured. Genuine Affection: Beyond the basics, Mackenzie gave my cats attention and affection. She played with them, petted them, and treated them like they were her own. Overall Mackenzie is exactly what you want in a pet sitter: responsible, caring, communicative, and trustworthy. My four cats are already looking forward to her next visit, and so am I! I will absolutely be booking Mackenzie again. If you're looking for someone to care for your cats with professionalism and genuine love, she's your person.”
About: I have experience both with taking care of cats and dogs. I normally dog sit for 2 dogs while I am home for breaks, and used to regularly cat sit for my neighbors! I am a college student home for the summer and looking to make money before I go abroad to Copenhagen! I currently am unemployed, and have full availability in the day! I like to get up around 9 and head to the gym, and then fill the rest of my day with busy work! I have one dog- an 8 year old black lab! We have a big backyard and front yard, neither fenced. I live within driving distance of a large walking park, and in a very walkable neighborhood close to some forest area walking paths!

Sanuthi is incredible and very reliable. We have two finicky 12 year old cats and any changes stress out Simba. She was very patient, willing to meet him within his comfort level. She kept in contact through the visits, letting me know of any issues she was seeing, willing to change the plan on the fly. Kitties were in good hands and I am so very grateful for Sanuthi!

Olivia was fantastic. She checked on my cat daily and always made sure he had food, fresh water, and a clean litter box. I really appreciated the daily photo updates. She gave me total peace of mind while I was away. She’s reliable, thoughtful, and someone I’d absolutely use again.
Heather is an outstanding sitter! She provides consistently thoughtful care and attention each time. Her detailed Rover notes and empathetic approach to pets brings so much peace of mind while away. Thanks Heather for making our sweet girl feel loved and safe always, we are grateful for you!
Qiangnan is truly wonderful. She spends so much time playing with my cats and even brings her own toys to keep them entertained. It’s clear that she genuinely cares about them and pays close attention to how they’re doing, always keeping me updated on their condition. What impressed me the most is that even my shy cat really likes her, which says a lot about her patience and gentle approach with animals. It gives me so much peace of mind knowing my cats are in such caring and attentive hands. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and thoughtful pet sitter.
We are so thrilled to have found Morgan for out two cats. Our cats are very skittish but took to Morgan right away. She plays with them and sends pics/videos of them for us. She is very easy to communicate with. We will definitely be using her whenever we need to be gone. Highly recommend her!
