“Natalia took amazing care of my kitty while I was out of the country. She gave him lots of love and provided daily reports with clean litter, food and recreation. I definitely recommend her services and look forward to booking her in the future”
“Caitlyn has been a great sitter for my cat, and I very much appreciate her reliability. I have worked with Caitlyn several times already, and I would have no reservations of doing so again in the future.”
“Arantxa did awesome with shadow. Was nervous as it was my first time using rover and have a dog with anxiety but had zero issues! She was very communicative and sent lots of pictures. Would definitely recommend”
“Ian watched our 2 cats for 5 days and did a fantastic job! His attention to detail made me feel very comfortable, which can be hard for me while I’m away from my babies. He ensured the boys got tons of playtime and left detailed notes every visit that made me smile! He even left the apartment, feeding areas, and litter room spotless and took the trash out. Ian is by far the best sitter I have found on this app and I look forward to working with him again in the future. I would recommend him to anyone that I know!”
“In our 20 years of having pets, Laura is absolutely the best petsitter we've ever had. She was very professional, did everything we asked of her, warm and caring to our dog and two cats and super at communicating. She even inquired about a plant that wasn't her responsibility to see if we wanted her to water it. I hope we can hire her again. Great experience!”
“Mariia was amazing with our cat, Biscuit! She was consistent in providing updates and photos, and Biscuit was clearly a huge fan of her. When we got home, the house was clean and the litter box too. Couldn’t ask for more in a sitter! Will definitely work with Mariia again.”
“Sarah was great with our cat Juicebox! Lots of great photo and videos updates and she looked so happy! Sarah also helped us out with a couple things around the home which we really appreciate. We will absolutely book with Sarah whenever she's available!”
“Katherine was absolutely fantastic being able to take care of my sweet boy on such short notice! She was caring, kind, kept me updated, and was so so nice to Dallas. Thank you so much for being such an amazing pet sitter!”
“Zoe was very communicative and filled out detailed rover cards with pictures so we did not have to worry about our kitties. She also plays with them! Would recommend hiring Zoe”
“I recommend Kody R. to petsit for your loveables. It was so nice to know that my cat was cared for while I was away. I was informed when the visit started and he sent pictures, which I appreciated. Thank you so much!”
“Once again, Erin has done an excellent job of taking care of Lucy-Liu! In this case, giving special attention protecting her from the erratic thunderstorms while letting her have her time outside as weather permitted. Thoughtful commentary and good pictures in the reports as well.”
“Adam has been absolutely amazing with Jacks! He’s been able to build a bond with my very anxious pup! He’s reliable, communicative and trustworthy, so much so that I continue to utilize his services. He has a repeat customer for sure!”
“I can’t recommend Meg enough as a cat sitter! She took care of my cat over the holidays, and her attention to detail and genuine care made all the difference. Meg provided daily updates with photos, which gave me such peace of mind. She not only made sure my cat was well-fed and cared for, but she also spent extra time playing and keeping her company.”
“I never had to worry about the kitties while we were on vacation. Nevaeh went above and beyond when one of the cats was being super sneaky and she was able to capture him on camera for us to ensure he was in the house (he's really good at hiding). We will definitely be booking with her for future trips!”
“My kitties were well taken care of! I’ve never left my cats alone before and was a little nervous about doing so, but immediately felt better every time I would receive pictures and videos of them. Aniela was very communicative which I really appreciated and she did a great job! Thanks again!”
About: I’ve been an animal lover my whole life. I had the joy of caring for my dog for 14 wonderful years—he was truly family and taught me so much about love and responsibility. I also cared for my cat for 3 years, and though he's not living with me now, I still adore him and visit him often. These experiences have given me a deep understanding of both dogs and cats, and I’ll treat your pet with the same care, patience, and affection I gave my own. I work full-time, but pet care fits perfectly into my mornings, evenings, and weekends. I’m committed to making time for the pets I care for, whether it’s early morning feedings, evening walks, or weekend visits. Your pet’s well-being is a priority, and I’ll make sure they get the attention and love they need when you're away. I believe pets feel safest and most comfortable in their own environment, which is why I provide care in your home—not mine. This helps reduce stress for your pet and keeps their routine as normal as possible. I always respect your space, follow your instructions closely, and treat your home with the same care I would my own. I’m also happy to send regular photo updates and check-ins so you can feel at ease knowing your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for while you’re away.
“Addison did a great job with Archer! I got plenty of updates and photos from her while I was on a work trip, and I could tell he was having a great time during her drop ins. I’ll definitely rebook with her again!”
