Molly took fantastic care of our young, play-oriented cat, sending us photo updates after every visit. She was also very responsive and flexible in our pre-trip communications. Highly recommended! Would hire again in a heartbeat.

Scott was great with Birdie and Mogie. Communication and flexibility were top shelf and both of our cats bonded with Scott right away. I would highly recommend this sitter and Scott will be my first choice next time I need someone to look after our cats.

This was our first time using Rover, we have a 9 week old kitten with a lot of energy and a 2 year old cat. Samantha’s glowing reviews are accurate. We were able to schedule a video call with Samantha for her to meet the girls. She asked all the right questions and has a ton of experience with animals. Our check in cards were the best part, she took up to 22 photos, (framable photos!) and a thorough update on the cats pees, poops, playtime and cuddles/ behaviors. We will ABSOLUTELY book with Samantha again:)

About: I have two dogs and a cat. My dogs are 55-60 pounds each. I also have experience pet sitting and house sitting for several close friends. I’m currently not working a FT or PT job. My goal is to do rover solely, so I’m available every day for most of the day. I am very attentive and operations minded which means I’m punctual and organized. I’m also extremely empathetic and loving. I would treat your pets like I treat my own - with respect, divinity, and love. Play times are my favorite so your pets will have plenty of fun time with me. If you’re open to having my dog Marley in your home I can bring him for play dates.

About: I've always had an immense love of animals. I grew up with two cats and a small dog, have volunteered at animal shelters since I was a kid, and currently help care for my boyfriend's cat. I also bring two years of hands-on experience working at a pet store, where I handled animals daily and learned a lot about their behavior and needs. Animals have always felt like a natural part of my life, and I treat every pet in my care like my own! As a student taking online classes this summer, I have a very flexible schedule with plenty of time to dedicate to pet care throughout the day, including walks, playtime, and potty breaks. I live in a Minneapolis apartment with a pet courtyard for easy potty breaks and access to nearby parks and river trails for walks. I keep a calm, clean home environment and treat every pet like my own. I always communicate with owners through updates and photos so they feel confident their pet is in good hands.

Such a great dog sitter! My dog is a senior dog with quite a few specific needs - meds, food, etc. Noah was so wonderful! He did everything I asked and more. I know my dog was in great hands and that he truly cared about her. Thank you for taking the stress out of leaving for the week.

About: I have experience caring for my family’s 3 cats for over 12 years. I have administered medicine, cleaned litter boxes, and picked up after accidents. I can adapt to different personalities, including nervous and reserved. I also have experience with dogs as I cared for my cousin’s dog on weekdays in highschool, lived with a roommate’s dog in college, and also recently lived with a puppy and walked her regularly from 5 months old to 1.5 years old. I work from home so my schedule can be flexible depending on the day! I also have 1 hour lunch breaks from 12-1pm every day. I am available on weekends as needed. I can walk your dog, play with your cat, give an afternoon snack, or clean the litter box! I love petting animals and will provide the type of care they need.

Queenie took great care of my little high-maintenance kitty, Charlie Chaplin. She was very responsible & kept me informed on how her visits with him went and readily coordinated key collection/drop-off with me. I would recommend her to others needing pet care.

Krista is a genuinely cheerful person who truly loves animals, and it shows. She is incredibly professional and precise, following all my briefing instructions perfectly and managing a somewhat complex key-handover without any issues. Not only did she ensure that food, water, and the litter box were always perfectly clean, but she also spent time giving my cat long, fun play sessions. I felt completely at ease leaving my cat in her hands

Marissa has been such a dream to work with. She’s professional and considerate. She takes care of our home like her own and it’s been a relief to have someone like her watching over our cats while we’re away. The cats love her and she’s been an absolute trooper giving our two cats with chronic conditions their various pills and eye drops. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter!

We had such an amazing experience with Gillian as always! She truly went above and beyond in every way. Not only was she incredibly communicative , kind, and attentive, but she also graciously helped us out with an extra day last minute, which took so much stress off our shoulders while traveling. We will absolutely book her again and recommend her to everyone we know. Our little kitten.

Annika made my first Rover experience so pleasant. She took so many photos and kept me updated with sweet notes on how my cat was doing. Annika fed my cat her oral medication with no issues. I was able to really relax during my vacation knowing Penny was in good hands. She went above and beyond to keep things neat and tidy. I couldn't have asked for a better experience and would love to rebook in the future. Thank you!!!

This was my first time using Rover. Sierra checked in on my two cats while I was out of town (twice daily). We had recently got the second cat and she was very helpful in continuing their integration while we were away and ensured they were properly fed and healthy. Will be booking again.
