“Nina took great care of our pets and left our home in perfect order. Our elderly cat is usually a grumpy old man, but he immediately took a liking to Nina and came out almost every visit. We couldn't ask for a better pet sitter!”
“Phoebe is kind, compassionate, and so fun. Our cat Smokey loved her immediately upon their meeting. Would highly recommend Phoebe if you’re looking for someone that is reliable and great with animals!”
“Nicole is awesome! She was super responsive with any questions or feedback, and her reports are comprehensive. My cat doesn't get along well with everyone, but I could tell from the pictures that she clicked with Nicole. I would definitely book her again :)”
“Sierra took great care of our three cats. One even liked her enough to let her pet him! She communicated well with us and we felt our cats were in good hands when she came over.”
“Second time to have Alison house sitting and taking care of our cat. After our two-week trip abroad, we came back to a spick-span house and a happy and relaxed cat. We will continue to have her to be our sitter in the future, as long as she is available.”
“Phuong is so amazing! I had forgotten to mention our cat’s medicine and not only did Phuong remember, she remembered the dose from the last time she cared for our cat! She is simply fantastic!!”
“Kateland was excellent in taking care of our cat for the week while we were out on vacation. She would send plenty of pictures and descriptions of her visits and was very kind!”
“Amanda has been absolutely wonderful. My senior cat is very skeptical of visitors but Amanda has won her over which makes leaving my cat in her care an easy decision. I was recently stuck out of town for several days longer than planned and Amanda was incredibly flexible and able to check on my cat last minute. I’m so happy with Amanda’s care, I can’t imagine having anyone else take care of my girl.”
“I can't recommend Zosha highly enough. I scheduled daily visits while we were on vacation for our cat Chloe to be given her medication and some love - and Zosha did such a great job at both! He went out of his way to give her plenty of affection and even treats on her puzzle toy. Everything was clean and left in great shape, Zosha was super communicative, and sent lots of pictures! Chloe is definitely a fan, and so are we. Thanks again, Zosha!”
“Danielle did an excellent job watching my cat for about a week-long trip! She is a great communicator on your pet's status and is quick to notify you if anything changes. Highly recommend her services and will definitely be re-booking with her again!”
“Han was so great! She followed instructions perfectly and went above and beyond what we told her. Han worked with our schedule and was flexible. Both our cats were comfortable around her very quickly. She even got our shy cat to come out of hiding to be around her. Would definitely book with her again:)”

“I reached out to Anne to come do a few drop ins with my cat while I was away for a weekend with my husband. We did a virtual meet and greet ahead of time and Anne asked good questions!

Merrifield cat parents share their Rover experiences
Carlea is absolutely amazing. She really spent time with our cats and was even able to get our scardy cat to come out for pets. This has NEVER happened with any other sitter. It speaks volumes to know that they trust her. She does more than just put food out, she gives them the attention they are missing when we arent home and that's really the most important aspect of finding care for our fur babies!
Alison was AMAZING! We left our kittens for the first time ever for an entire week and Alison took care of them. She was very attentive and she sent lots of cute pictures which eased our anxiety about leaving our kittens. We will absolutely be hiring her again if we ever go out of town or need someone to watch our cats. 10/10 Thank you Alison!!!
We are so grateful to Suzzy & Soliman for taking care of our cats. They sent pictures and updates, as well as leaving everything tidy and bringing in some packages. They were easy to work with, and I would definitely use them again and recommend them. Thank you!
Leslie is very attentive, intuitive, and responsive. She provided regular updates, including photos, which gave me great peace of mind while I was away. It's clear that she genuinely cared about my cat's well-being by taking the time to ensure she met her particular needs. I highly recommend Leslie to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter. Will definitely book again!
I reached out to Anne to come do a few drop ins with my cat while I was away for a weekend with my husband. We did a virtual meet and greet ahead of time and Anne asked good questions! We were looking for a rover somewhat last minute and Anne was flexible and accommodating. We got updates and photos from Anne while we were gone which we appreciate very much.
Our cat Rupert has a complex diet and medicine routine, and Sophia was amazing in making sure he was eating and getting is meds while still keeping him entertained and giving him the love everyone's animals deserve! She communicated with us through our whole time away and let us know he was doing with comments and pictures each day. Sophia is wonderful!
