“Eleanor is terrific! She was very conscientious about knowing how to administer my cats’ medicines. When I returned from my trip, my house was as orderly as when I left it. Most importantly, she has a real affinity for animals. My cats loved her. One of them is very reserved but I could tell from the notes and pictures she posted on Rover that he warmed up to her very quickly. I felt very comfortable having left my cats in her capable hands.”
“Wonderful with my Colby! Highly recommended. Heather is reliable and was available in a pinch when my sitter was unavailable. She bonded with him quickly and I feel secure with him in her care.”
“Bradley did a great job following the instructions during the visits with detail. I was impressed with how he handled my dog being over 100 pounds by establishing himself as a friendly presence before interactions. Highly recommend this young man for future opportunities.”
“Merrisa was a fabulous sitter!! Her dedicated care and thoughtful communication left both our beloved Diego and us at ease! Highly recommend!!! Thank you for everything 🫶🏾”
“Ava was incredible with our boys! She communicated with us the whole time, played with our cats a lot, and made sure to send plenty of updates while we were away. We felt very comfortable having her watch our cats for a few days, and they definitely appreciated having her spend time with them!”
“Rachel is wonderful! Leaves a detailed summary of her visits, has clear communication - just an overall great sitter! I think she loves my cat just as much as my cat loves her! 💖”
“Jose did an amazing job with Marley! I was able to leave an entire week without having to worry once. Was always on time and walked my dog to the park every time. Marley loved Jose, so much so Marley was playing fetch with sticks which I’ve never seen him do! Jose also took amazing pictures at every check in”
“This is our second time using Sara and I know when we are away I don't have to worry about our kitties - she takes great care of them and our house is always in great shape when we come back as well. Thank you Sara!!”
“Did an absolute amazing job would absolutely book with Leeland again! Very communicative, absolutely no hassle, and was flexible. Marley 100% loved him and I came back from the holidays to a happy doggo and mess free home. Marley is a big pup weighing over 100lbs and Leeland cared for him like a champ!!”
“Having Elena check in on our new puppy made my husband and I feel so much better when we both had to work on the same day. Her communication is excellent and I know our girl was well cared for!”
“Hannah did a great job at communicating and following through on requests. She made sure both our boys got the love and attention that they needed. She also made sure to give me updates, and take care of any concerns i had.”
“Juliana was a fantastic dog sitter ! She was really prompt with communication, sent pictures of my pets, and overall was incredibly professional. She also let me know when small accidents happened, like when my dog knocked over a houseplant while he was playing or when he chewed on his leash. She was patient and did GREAT with my large, high energy 2 year old poodle. I’m very grateful to have a resource like her nearby and I look forward to hiring her again”
“Caiti was great! It was my first time using Rover and she made it real simple for me! She came on time both days I had her visit my cat and even left her treats which wasn't in the plan. I'm thrilled with my experience with Roger and I'll use it again thanks to her.”

Debra was an amazing sitter for my dogs. I needed someone last minute to do drop in visits with my dogs over Thanksgiving break. Debra went above and beyond. She came 3 times a day, sent photos each time, and even brought my heavy packages inside (to the rear of the house) which I didn’t even ask her to do. She was personable, great with communication, and reliable. I will definitely use her again!
Erica was incredibly flexible, transparent, and a wonderful caretaker for our two cats. She made sure to play with them every visit and provide numerous photos of the cats during each visit. She even made sure one of our cats got the medication they needed twice a day. I would gladly ask Erica to take care of our little guys again.
Mackenzie was absolutely wonderful with Cleo and Henry! She was reliable, caring, and kept us updated with the sweetest photos and messages while we were away. We came home to two happy and relaxed kitties. We will definitely be booking with Mackenzie again and highly recommend her.
It was our cockatiel's first time being cared for by a sitter and Lynne did an amazing job providing us with updates and being attentive to our baby's needs. Our bird is normally very wary and mistrusting of strangers but she seemed already friendly with Lynne by the end of the week! I would trust Lynne to watch over her again
