“This was my first time using Rover. Heather B. was amazing! She cared for my two cats for 7 days, 1x/day. The daily timing of visits was consistent with what was agreed upon. The photos and notes she posted were so complete and helpful that I really felt comfortable with my decision to use Rover, and especially picking Heather B. This experience has helped inspire me to travel more, knowing my kitties are in good hands!”
“Nina is the ULTIMATE cat whisperer. My little man Loki was in love with her at our 1st meet-up! I was so nervous to leave my 6 month old Siamese for a week, but she was so reassuring and obviously very experienced. She asked questions about his care that I didn't even think to touch on. The pictures and updates during my time away show that they had a true love story going🥰 She really worked to learn what he likes and spent the time he needed playing, cuddling, etc.. I feel so lucky to have made the right choice with Nina. Definitely gained a repeat customer here👋 Thanks Nina!”
“We tasked Larry with a last minute booking for our two kittens. He did amazing with them and followed all instructions. He was very respectful of our apartment as well. Will definitely book again!”
“Linda was a great help with my cats while I was on vacation. Although Felix and Oscar, my 2 kittens downstairs tried to hide from her in the beginning, with a few more days, she would have won them over completely. My older cat, Lucy warmed up to her quickly and enjoyed being fed her churu treats each day. Linda took great care to clean up after my cats and made sure they had plenty of food and water. I would recommend Linda to other nervous pet owners like myself as she provided me with peace of mind while I was away. I will definitely use her again if she is willing.”
“Debra was wonderful with my little girl. She exceeded my expectations and took great care of both my Maya and me. All the pictures she sent showed how much my cat loved her and they put me much at ease that Maya was happy and content. I am so grateful and will definitely hire her again.”
“Love Stephanie! She is incredibly sweet, caring, and professional. She went above and beyond—not only did she brush my cats’ teeth, clean the litter box, and play with them, but she also vacuumed my room and even took out the trash! I felt completely at ease knowing my cats were in such great hands. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and thoughtful sitter!”
“I’ve had Jose watch our senior cat for the Christmas holiday and now a long weekend. He is always prompt with communicating to me and sends great photos. It seems like our grouchy cat likes him a lot so we will happily continue to use him as available and would recommend!”
“Hailey was a great pet sitter! She was always on time, did all the tasks requested of her and took great care of our kitties! A very reliable sitter. We will be happy to book her again!”
“Lawrence was great! It was my first time using Rover, but they were very understanding and communicative. Our cats are shy, and they were great with respecting their boundaries. Their daily updates were thorough, and the pics always made us smile.”
“Katrina never fails to do an amazing job whether it’s drop-ins, walks, etc. She does great taking care of both dogs and cats and is very responsive in order to meet your needs. It is very clear how much she loves all kinds of animals!”
“Shannon did an amazing job. She is prompt, reliable, trustworthy and will update me with cute pictures of our cat when I’m out of town which is always comforting. ❤️”
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I cannot recommend Glenmary enough! Since meeting her, I’ve booked her three days in a row because of how amazing she is with my cat, Logan. She doesn’t just stop by—she truly cares. She takes the time to play with him, even capturing adorable photos of him in action, and always makes sure his litter box and food bowls are fresh and clean. Beyond being an incredible pet sitter, Glenmary is simply an exceptional human being. When I had to rush back to the hospital unexpectedly, I asked if she could grab a few personal items from my home while checking on Logan, and without hesitation, she went out of her way to bring them to me. Her kindness, reliability, and trustworthiness have made her my favorite sitter. I never thought I’d love a new app this much, but thanks to Glenmary, I do! If you’re looking for someone who will care for your pet (and even you!) like family, she’s the one.”
“Emily is absolutely amazing! She knows just how to handle my 2 cats, who have completely opposite personalities, and she gives them so much love and attention. I am at ease when I am away because I know she is taking such good care of my babies. She is also so patient with my sassy girl cat! I couldn’t ask for a better sitter than Emily. Book her now!!!”
“Leo was a great house and cat sitter! He was attentive to all our specific needs and would update us with photos and comments daily on how are two cats were doing. We would recommend him to anyone that needs a cat / house sitter.”

Newtonville cat parents share their Rover experiences
Shyma was an AMAZING kitty caretaker! He came over to meet my shy kitties in advance, and to learn how to administer my kitty’s inhaler medication, and was a natural. I loved and appreciated the attentiveness of Shyma, from the picture updates and reports, to Shyma’s excellent understanding of how to work with extremely shy cats. Shyma was patient yet determined with my shy crew- and my kitties eventually made friends! I would definitely hire Shyma to cat-sit again. Shyma is extremely personable and an obvious animal-lover. Thank you for everything!
Anna went above and beyond for my 3 cats, even only charging me for the 1 she was feeding (special diet) yet gave the other two special attention as well. I loved all the pictures I received, the update texts, and I never felt nervous knowing she’d be there to make sure they were okay. I will definitely be booking her again if we go on another trip in the future and i’d recommend her highly to anyone I know 💗
Gabby is a warm, kind, thoughtful person. My two kitties liked her right away, and I could tell that she liked them. I felt comfortable and at ease leaving Spunky and Rachel in Gabby’s care. She was very communicative, accommodating, and conscientious throughout the entire pet sitting process. Everything went smoothly, and I did not have any concerns. I am thankful to have found Gabby, and I will be relying on her for future pet sitting.
