“Jill is an awesome pet sitter and our kitty loved being taken care of by her. I’ve already booked Jill again and will continue to do so anytime our kitty needs a friend while we’re away. Highly recommended!”
“This was my first time leaving my cat, and Gabriel made it feel so easy. She was so quick to respond and would send pictures and videos whenever I asked. I Whenever I checked in, she always made me feel like she was really paying attention to him. She even went out of her way to accommodate dropping him off at my place when I had asked last minute.”
“Caroline watched my dog for the first time and took such great care of her! She is a senior dog and Caroline makes sure to give her the attention she needs always. Thank you for all the pictures you send!”
“Rachael is INCREDIBLE. From the moment we met her and she got to interact with our pets, we felt instinctively she would be someone we could trust. Great energy, great communication—we had no doubts at all she would take great care of our animals. Would 100% book again, no hesitation.”
“Sarah was great with Wallace! He’s a little skittish (or a lot - he hid under my couch) around new people but she worked with him and definitely earned his trust. Really appreciated the in depth visit descriptions that definitely helped put my mind at ease.”
About: I’ve cared for pets my whole life — dogs of all ages, guinea pigs, fish, and more. I truly enjoy giving animals love, attention, and fun! With no evening classes this semester, I have plenty of flexibility in the mornings. Walking dogs fits perfectly into my routine, and I enjoy starting the day active and outdoors. I give dogs freedom to sniff, stroll, and play at their pace—always sticking to their routine and making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved.
“This was our second time booking with Brooklyn. Peace of mind knowing she would take really good care of our two kitties again. I love that she sends pictures and a little write-up after each visit. Will definitely hire Brooklyn again!”
“Morgan was awesome. She came by for a meet and greet prior to taking care of our two cats and did a great job while we were out of town. Highly recommend and will definitely be revoking her :)”
“Abby has been a godsend for us. She’s been regularly taking my dogs out for months now and she is reliable, friendly, and a good communicator. She was especially heroic about a month ago when she arrived to discover one of my dogs having a stroke. She contacted me right away, was calm, thorough, and helpful, and I was able to come home to take my dog in to the vet. We’re fully recovered and I can’t even imagine where we’d be without Abby. I’d rebook her in a heartbeat.”
“If there’d been a 10-star rating option for this sitter, I’d have selected it expeditiously! While I was away on a 10 day vacation halfway across the world, Michelle went beyond Rover expectations—she exceeded in every category, from feeding to cuddling to playing. She even cleaned and tidied up an unexpected accident my cat had left during her last visit. I’m super impressed and happily pleased with Michelle’s service. Would I ever rebook with her?. . .Is the sky blue? Yes 👏🏾 Yes 👏🏾 YES 🙌🏾”

About: Hi, I’m Maddie! 🐾 I’ve had cats and dogs in my life since I was a baby — from tiny Pomeranians to big, lovable German Shepherds. Over the years, I’ve pet sat for friends, family, and neighbors (both dogs and cats!) and love giving pets the care, walks, and attention they deserve. I’m currently a medical resident, which means my schedule shifts weekly — but that actually gives me the flexibility to help care for your pets when you need it most. You can count on me to be reliable, responsible, and trustworthy (I take caring for your furry family members as seriously as I do my patients!). Whether it’s long walks, playtime, snuggles, or just keeping your pets company, I’m here to make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. 🐶🐱💛 As a medical resident, my schedule changes week to week, but I have flexibility for daytime, evening, and some weekend visits to fit your pet’s needs. I live in a spacious, pet-friendly apartment with my own small dog. There’s plenty of room for play indoors, and I have safe, walkable areas nearby for exercise and potty breaks. While I don’t have a yard, I make sure dogs get plenty of fresh air and supervised outdoor time. I can also crate pets upon request to match their routine and keep them comfortable.

National City cat parents share their Rover experiences
Madison is excellent! She was very communicative, upbeat, sent lots of perfect photos, and took great care of everyone. She was able to give medications due to a last minute need. I felt very much at ease leaving everyone in her care. I highly recommend her!
Lauren was great! She took great care of our kitty (Persey) and was flexible and super to work with! Our cat is highly anxious and xenophobic, yet she interacted with Lauren on the first night. We highly recommend her and will definitely book her to care for Persey when we take trips in the future! 😊
Niah was a great sitter! She was kind and enthusiastic at the our meet and greet. I knew my cats would be taken great care of and felt very comfortable leaving them in her care. Also had some last minute travel changes and was easy to contact and flexible which was appreciated. Would work again with Niah!
