“Victoria was great with our dog, Tally. Sent us daily updates. Very responsible. We felt assured that our buddy was in great care. Highly recommend”
“Amy was absolutely amazing. She stayed with my two dogs for a week in my home. My dogs are wary of strangers and can be a bit finicky as a result (extra chatty, Velcro-dog syndrome at times), and Amy took it all in stride. She was a good communicator that provided regular updates, and my dogs were very obviously happy with her being there. Will absolutely book Amy again!”
“Anastasia is a regular dog walker for us and recently stayed with our pup while we were away for the weekend. Our dog is clearly very comfortable with her and she always does a great job caring for him and paying attention to Ira’s need and idiosyncracies!”
“K is fantastic! They communicated proactively and took plenty of pictures while I was away. I came home to a very happy and well cared for puppy”
“It was great working with Jackie! She was very communicative, gave attentive care to our sweet pup and respected our home during a house sit. Looking forward to working with her again!”
“Rachael take great care of our dog and home while we were away! We appreciated coming home to a happy dog and clean home. Would definitely recommend her to anyone!”
“Absolutely fantastic! My dog became ill, and Tam was totally on top of it, responsible, sent frequent updates and photos. She did everything to make me feel assured Hudson was okay. Would work with her again in a heartbeat!”
“Natalie took great care of our pets (cat and dog) and our home! She met with us in person prior to the sit, and provided several updates with photos everyday throughout the sit. We appreciate the care she took to ensure we would feel comfortable and confident during our time away from our pets and home. We would definitely welcome here again and highly recommend her for future pet care :)”
“Shalese is amazing! She made me feel super comfortable leaving my reactive dog for a few days and they got along so well! Will definitely book any time I need someone to watch my girl.”
“Andrew is an amazing dog sitter! He stayed at our home for two weeks while we were on vacation and looked after our 2 dogs. He was amazing, he texted us daily updates with pictures and even found a fenced area to play fetch with my mini aussie as he is high energy. Followed the care instructions for my yorkie who just had surgery. He definitely went above and beyond and I 100% recommend him!”
“Neil was an affectionate and reliable caregiver for our dog and two cats when we were away for a week+, providing lots of updates regarding their moods and cute moments, and clearly taking a lot of pleasure in their company. He was a great pal to them all and left us feeling comfortable that they were in good hands.”
“Justin took very good care of Mowgli, they bonded very well. He followed all the instructions and more. We plan to have him as the go-to house sitter and walker for Mowgli.”
“Emma was great! She was very communicative (and quick to respond) and followed all my instructions. I can tell my pup had a great time with her and i will definitely add her into my rotation of sitters”
“This was my first time using Rover for my own pup and although I am a Rover pet sitter as well, I was still a bit nervous. Sophia was wonderful! She walked him plenty and even took him on a fun city adventure. I let her know he loves going out! She stayed overnight to keep Boba company and even arrived earlier than planned which was so nice. Throughout the visit she updated me with photos which made me happy and reassured me that my Boba was having a good time! Thank you so much Sophia!”
“What can I say? Rosie is an EXCELLENT sitter!! She came to stay with our cat Keani while we went away for 8 days. First of all, she is SO good with our cat who tends to be a little cautious. They became friends right away. She sent photos everyday and I was so happy to see my furbaby looking relaxed and happy 😊 Second, there was a SITUATION in our place while we were away - a situation which was not so pleasant for sure for some people. Rosie contacted me right away and proactively dealt with the situation with my landlord. While all that was happening, she made sure that our cat was safe and happy. We came home and EVERYTHING WAS SO CLEAN! Our cat was happy to see us but not like distressed or upset. We are so thankful for her 🙏✨ I can’t say enough good things about Rosie!”
“Aaron did a great job dogsitting our pup, Henry, during the workday. Great communication throughout!”
“Julia, is awesome! She is kind, intelligent, trustworthy and loves my dog Achilles (and his feelings are most certainly mutual)! We have been through several sitters/ facilities to find the right fit for our boy and hit a home run in finding Julia. She sent regular (unsolicited) pupdates (sorry for the terrible pun) and pics. Achilles could not have been happier to have found a playmate that loves him as much as he does her! Dogs are great judges of character (that’s why all dogs like me!) and he trusts Julia 100%, as do we!”
About: I've had cats since I was very young, so I'm very familiar with cat behavior. I'm comfortable providing enrichment, feeding, keeping the litter box clean, etc. I'm also experienced with guinea pigs. I helped care for an elderly guinea pig who was blind with arthritis, which required regular medication. I'm familiar with keeping cages clean, feeding, etc. For cat sitting, I usually stop by either in the morning or evening at approximately the same time for the duration of the trip. I'll make sure that they're fed, the litter box is scooped, and provide some enrichment time. For guinea pigs, I prefer to board them at my home since they require regular fresh vegetables at least twice a day. For guinea pigs, I prefer to board them at my home since they require regular fresh vegetables at least twice a day. I'll usually feed in the morning and evening. For cats, since they tend to take time to adjust to new places, I prefer to keep them at their home and either visit 1-2x per day or housesit.
“Michael was amazing. He was responsive, he took care of both of my two big dogs on short notice and he sent plenty of pictures and videos throughout his stay. Also he left my house beautifully clean. Thank you so much again Michael!!!!”
“Anna did an excellent job house sitting and looking after our 2 kitties, one of whom takes a variety of oral medications. Both our cats love her. Even our more shy cat Stan snuggled up with her. She was friendly, communicative and sent us wonderful photos and updates daily. Upon our return, our home was as tidy as when we left it and our cats were happy and well cared for. I could tell they had gotten plenty of attention and playtime too. Thank you Anna!”
