“Jason is always super thorough with Mango, and always makes sure that she is well taken care of when I’m gone. It’s great seeing all of the pictures of her and knowing she’s doing alright! I can’t recommend Jason more! :)”

“Nadine was great! She was patient with my sassy cat and very communicative with me while I was on vacation. Would definitely use Nadine in the future.”

“Anthony was great with Bella! He was responsive, sent photos, and always kept me updated with everything. I highly recommend booking with Anthony, I know I will in the future.”

“Eunice was so kind and jumped in to watch Goonie very last minute. I appreciated her updates and how she was kind enough to clean up his messes!! Looking forward to working with her again!!”

“David took great care of our kitty for a weekend of drop-in visits! Super responsive, very detailed updates with photos, and overall great communication.”

“Anastasiia was so great when checking on my cat, Binx, over the weekend! She was very flexible with exchanging keys, made sure to clean her litter box, and gave her treats and attention. I also appreciated the photos as a nice check in.”

About: I'm an animal lover who's new to Rover and excited to start offering dog walking and drop-in visits! I am very calm, responsible and safety-focused. You can expect clear communication, reliable timing, and photo updates every visit! I am currently focused on dog walking and drop-in visits. I'm available Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays between 3-7 pm. I am reliable, punctual, and happy to set up consistent weekly walks or evening check-ins! Safety is my top priority. I always follow pet parents' instructions carefully, including leash/harness preferences, walking routes, feeding guidelines, and home rules. I'm very careful with doors and gates, keep dogs securely leashed at all times unless otherwise instructed, and I pay attention to body language to keep walks calm and safe.
“Hallie was so great with our kitties. She updated us after each visit with pictures of them eating and drinking! She even set up a facetime call with us before we booked so we could meet her and make sure we felt comfortable before moving forward. I would book with her again!”

“This was Namira's second time watching my elderly dog, who added two pills since our last visit, and has been starting to struggle with joints. She was engaged and made sure to check in with me when he was potentially having a bad day so I could evaluate and I could feel confident he was in good hands once again.”


“Sandra is the most amazing Rover ever! She is so responsive and our dog just loves her. We reach out to her time and time again when we need a little help with Ruby. Highly recommend!”

“We were happy to have Karolly visit our senior kitty Camilla. She took her time during her visit and made sure to make a great connection with Camilla each time. She was communicative and professional, and we felt confident in her services. We would definitely recommend Karolly!”

“It was a pleasure working with Jason. Jason took great care of our fur baby, sent us lots of pictures and updates every day and even watered our plant for us! I would definitely recommend Jason to anyone looking for a caring and professional cat sitter!”

“Had an unexpected emergency and needed to leave town. Had a ton of anxiety signing up for Rover to have someone watch our Luna. Rachel did an amazing job! Was very communicative, sent the best photos and updates. 10/10 would recommend”


“Lilly, thank you so much for taking excellent care of Max. I am so impressed that you were able to bond so quickly with our pup in spite of his quirks and anxieties. I had such peace of mind knowing that he was being cared for in such a thorough, kind, and attentive manner. I appreciate you and look forward to booking with you again!”

“Morgan took amazing care of our cats. She was so friendly and able to draw our very shy cats out of their shells with her and get some play time with them, which is not something other cat sitters have been able to do. Next time we need a sitter we will check with her first.”

Anna took wonderful care of my cat, Rome, while I was away. She was reliable, communicative, and clearly cared about his well-being. She sent daily updates and photos, which gave me great peace of mind during my trip. I would absolutely book Anna again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, thoughtful, and dependable pet sitter. Thank you, Anna!

It’s nerve wrecking to leave your pets while on vacation, particularly when finding someone new on Rover. Shan put all those fears to rest. She was compassionate with both my dog and cat, patiently encouraged my dog to eat daily, and sent photos and wonderful updates with each visit. 10/10 would recommend and I’ll be reaching out to Shan for future Rover needs.

Andres was SUPER easy to work with and great with our very senior cat Elmer. When my husband and I are away, we kind of need someone who’ll allow us to not think about what’s going on at home and Andres did just that- made it easy to be away from our lil guy. Thank you!

I book Michelle every single time I go out of town. If Michelle isn’t available, I would consider rescheduling my trip, that is how incredible she is. She leaves the best reports, lots of photos and videos, and I know that my cats are in the best hands with her. If your pets are in need of a sitter, CHOOSE MICHELLE!!!

I highly recommend Amy to anyone looking for a pet sitter! She is incredibly caring and very clearly loves animals. She made my cat’s comfort and well-being her top priority, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. I felt completely comfortable leaving my cat in her care and wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again.

110% recommend! My normally shy cat warmed up to her so quickly, and Susmitha’s daily report and check-in’s were always detailed and thorough. It’s very obvious how much love, care and attention she provides our furry babies when we’re away! Will definitely have her around more often! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
