1. Natsha D.

“Natsha was so kind and took wonderful care of my cat! It was my first time using Rover for catsitting, but Natsha made it a very comfortable experience for my cat and gave me lots of peace of mind! She spent a lot of time with him everyday that I was gone and I’m very happy with her petsitting!”


2. Nicole Y.

“Nicole is the best! We’ve had her take care of two cats. Nicole is responsive, takes great photos, and writes thorough, funny reports! We’d hire her again anytime.”


3. Jessica H.

“Jessica made me feel so comfortable leaving my 2 cats home while we were away. I got pictures for every visit and she really allowed me to enjoy my trip without stressing!!”


4. Sarah H.

“Sarah is fantastic—responsive, flexible when some of my plans changed at the last minute, and so sweet with my cat. Can’t wait to rebook with her!”


5. Carole N.

“Carole has cared for our cats several times and we will continue to use her services whenever she is available! She is professional, courteous, and friendly. She does everything we ask of her and spends time playing with our cats. We know we will come back to happy and healthy cats! She also sends many wonderful photos after every visit! Carole is fantastic!”


6. Abbie W.

“Abbie is amazing. She is so good with Georgia.”


7. Brandon C.
“Brandon has been our primary walker for about 2 years now and our pup Marleyy loves when he comes to take her on walks! He is always super reliable and communicates with us lots of updates and great photos. We wouldn’t recommend anyone else!”




8. Katie L.

“Our dogs loved Katie immediately!! Communication was excellent and all went perfectly. We will definitely be repeat customers!!”


9. Jen N.

“Jen is fantastic. She is very professional and dotes on Tako like we would. I know Tako is in loving hands and with a human who just gets cats, which is so important. Jen takes lots of photos & videos and keeps me posted on how he’s doing. Her communication is extremely fast and punctual. I’m looking forward to working with Jen in the future.”


10. Mengdongxue H.

“Mengdongxue gave my cat her wet food, provided attention with scratches and pets, and cleaned her litter box while I was away. Mengdongxue sent daily photos of my cat excited for M’s arrival and enjoying her scritches and belly rubs in all her cuteness, which really put my mind at ease. Mengdongxue will win your pets love as she really cares about animals, is enthusiastic, helpful and communicative. I would highly recommend hiring her to watch your pet!”


11. Melissa K.

“Melissa is so fantastic. She is flexible, responsive to communication, and great with animals. We got wonderful photos and updates when during her drop in visits with our cat Nora. We felt like Nora was in very good hands and that she had lots of fun with Melissa. We would definitely book Melissa again and would highly recommend her.”


12. Emmery K.
“Emmery would be a fantastic caregiver for any family and any type of pet, providing attentive, nonjudgmental care. She has two furry friends at her childhood home who she has taken care of for over 15 years. Calling them her “everything” wouldn’t even begin to capture their importance in her life. She is perfect for this position as she misses them dearly while living away from her parent’s house. You will find her to be trustworthy, respectful, diligent, and kind - you will not be disappointed.”


13. Garrett F.

“Garrett is hands down the best person to trust with your pet. We left our 7 year old, lively & sociable shepherd mix alone for the first time when we went to Portugal for 10 days. This was the first time Buster had been left with anyone outside the family, and to say I was nervous was an understatement. Garrett went above and beyond, sending messages with pictures and a brief check in, reassuring us that Buster was fine - the pictures gave us real evidence that he was indeed a happy camper, and honestly some of the photos made it seem like he was having a better time than if we’d been home! Haha, but in all seriousness, I would recommend Garrett 100% to anyone, and will definitively be going to him first whenever we need Buster care in the future. Thank you, Garrett!!!”


14. Mankamal D.

“Mankamal did an amazing job with my cat. She was quick to respond to the booking request and even came over for a meet and greet prior to my trip. She sent lots of photos and updates about my cat which provided peace of mind. Right away you could tell that she genuinely cares about animals and my skiddish cat opened up to her quickly. 10/10 would book again.”


15. Jessica A.

“Jessica is very nice and my dogs are well taken care of with her. I was really nervous to find a caretaker that I didn’t know, but it’s been great and we will definitely continue asking her to care for our pups.”




16. Mikayla & Justin W.
About: Hello! My name is Mikayla and I am a Yale graduate student who recently moved to New Haven with my husband. Since 2010, and on my own since 2017, I took care of my family yellow lab, Molly, until she passed at 13.5 years old. Through this, I have had experience with all stages of a dog’s life, with extensive experience in senior care. I am also available for boarding other pets as well (i.e. cats). Due to my flexible school schedule I am available to walk or board your pet at most times throughout the week. My husband, Justin, and I cannot wait to welcome your pet into our home and we promise to love and take of them while you are away. Feel free to reach out if you have any direct questions. Looking forward to caring for your pet!! 😊 I am a graduate nursing student with a flexible schedule where I only go into school or clinicals 2x a week. I am also able to come back throughout the day during those times. Lastly, my husband works from home so someone is always there to care for your pet. I have a partially fenced yard for your dog to play and use the restroom. Our home is open and clean, making it easy for cats and dogs to move around. It is 2 floors, but the first floor is main living so senior pets do not need to access the stairs.


17. Marsela R.

“Marsela was a wonderful cat-sitter — intuitive, caring, communicative. Even with my particularly shy cat I felt relieved knowing she was being cared for attentively! Would absolutely recommended Marsela.”


18. Leah D.

“Leah was wonderful. She sent full updates with great photos, she “got” the kitties’ personalities and she was attentive and considerate throughout. I recommend Leah 100%!”


19. Diana A.


“Diana was great. We did a virtual meet and greet; but it went well! She showed up and took great care of the dogs and even fed them! Would definitely book again!”


20. Krystle-Jayne & Hanna N.
“I am pleased to provide a reference for Krystle and Hanna, both of whom I have had the pleasure of knowing for nearly a decade. Krystle and I first met while working together at Microsoft, and over the years, she has proven to be an incredibly dependable and responsible individual. Krystle’s reliability extends beyond the workplace. When I adopted my Great Dane, Gatsby, Krystle was by my side throughout the process and has been a loving presence in Gatsby’s life ever since, from his early puppy days to his current size of 180 pounds. Her care and affection for Gatsby have been unwavering. Hanna, in turn, embodies kindness and a genuine caring nature. Like Krystle, she has shown a remarkable ability to provide thoughtful and attentive care, and Gatsby adores her just as much. During my work trips, Krystle and Hanna have kindly stayed at my townhouse to look after Gatsby and the property. Each time I return, I am greeted by a spotless home and a well-cared-for dog. Their attention to detail and dedication ensure that everything is in perfect order, and I am truly grateful for their help. Both Krystle and Hanna are exceptional individuals who exhibit a high level of responsibility and compassion. I wholeheartedly recommend them without reservation.”
