Xiomara has done an amazing job taking care of our two cats while we're away and sent the cutest pictures during each visit. She even immediately filled in and helped me when we figured out I messed up scheduling her visits during our vacation. Our cats love her; she's fantastic and attentive.

Chloe is a rare find. She is incredibly thorough and buttoned up- beyond organized with a binder of notes and questions upon meeting you and your pet. She’s exceptionally responsive to check in requests and always goes above and beyond. I came home last night to my mail brought in and she even brought our recycle bin up from the curb. I highly recommend her! So does Oliver ;)

Great experience! One of my cats is usually very frantic and nervous and I felt great relief receiving pictures of her being pet and eating her snacks. Would book again

Elaine was awesome!! We were concerned with our 15+ yr old cat while we planned a week vacation. Elaine offered to stop by before we left to review our needs and took notes and pictures. This made leaving for our trip so much more relaxing. Elaine came exactly on time made sure Kitty had her food, water, and clean litter while spending proper time to make her feel she was taking care of. The pictures of each visit were a bonus. Will certainly reach out to Elaine in the future and highly recommend!

About: Since high school, I’ve always had pets around me. When I was full-time Army stationed in Alaska, my leadership asked me to dog sit their pets and ever since then I was the go to dog sitter for our Company. I sometimes spent weeks juggling getting to work in the early mornings and getting home in time to take care of their pets and their homes. I enjoyed taking care of their dogs on the day to day! Im renovating my family’s new house and working in the New Jersey Army National Guard so I appreciate getting some steps in and spending time with pets. I like spending time with pets because they live in the moment. I talk and run with them sometimes when on walks to make them feel comfortable with me.

About: I have taken care of dogs and cats for about 5 years now. I volunteer at an animal shelter and I love it. I have always been the go to person in my neighborhood when someone is out of town and needs someone to stop by their house or even care for their pets. I currently work part time so I have extra time on my hands. I have a large dog of my own and two cats so pet care is not unfamiliar to me Because I have a large dog of my own and two cats, I know what their needs and wants are. I have had pets since I could remember

Thank you so much for looking after my fur babies while we were away and for your flexibility.This was my first time using Roover and I was glad to have found Caleigh . I received daily updates and pictures which I loved. Caleigh was great with my two cats, she made sure they had clean water/their litter box was clean and provided play time .I knew my fur babies were in good hands that’s why I didn’t hesitate to book her two extra days when i couldn’t make back home on time. Will rebook her for sure soon ! Thanks again!

Leigh took wonderful care of our two senior cats. She was comfortable giving one of our cats his medication twice a day and sent us good notes and pictures each day. Leigh is also just lovely and easy to talk to. From our initial meet and greet, it was clear she cares for animals and "gets" how to approach them. We feel confident leaving our boys in her care and will definitely try to book her again in the future!

Sheila took wonderful care of our cats for a little over two weeks, and we couldn’t be more grateful. She is incredibly meticulous, genuinely loves animals, and went above and beyond what was required to make sure our cats were happy, comfortable, and well cared for. She also kept an eye on our home and alerted us to a water leak in time, which we truly appreciated. We felt completely at ease knowing both our cats and our home were in such capable and caring hands. Highly recommended.

We were beyond pleased with the service (and so was our kitty). Stephanie came through for us at the last minute on top of that as well. Everything was kept neat and clean, and although our cat is not the most social kitty, she did not seem at all upset by the presence of a new person in our home and everything stayed right on schedule for her. I could not recommend Stephanie enough and we will definitely use her again in the future!
