“Rebecka, is an outstanding sitter. Dolly loves her and she takes outstanding care of here. Always keeps me updated, with photos and a nice write up.”
“Briana is super responsive and was able to fit us in for coverage during a short business trip. She took great care of our dog and cats, including one who is diabetic and needs twice daily insulin shots.”
“Xuni was wonderful with my dog. She was diligent and attentive, and on time to all of the visits. She successfully gave her her morning pills and provided a lot of care! She was great with communication. My dog is large and can’t be around other dogs, and Xuni was able to navigate that well on the walks, along with her anxiety. I would definitely have her care for my dog again in the future!”
“My dog is very nervous of new people, but Emma was awesome! She did absolutely everything to make Bailey comfortable and was very communicative. She even took time to give a little love to my kitties. Can’t recommend her enough!”
“Chelsea was so awesome! We were so happy she was able to fit us in on a busy holiday weekend. She was very communicative and kept us updated about how everything went during her visit. It was clear the cats loved her after seeing the photos she sent; even our very timid cat who hides from other people. We could tell she takes the job seriously and is experienced with pets. Will definitely be booking her again!”
“Kim was so awesome taking care of Luna! She followed all instructions and provided love/care for my cat. I've never booked a pet sitter but I'm glad I did with Kim she's so nice and responsive!”
“Jessica was great - she looked after my Alaskan Malamute, and ensured he was safe when we were away. She provided pictures, so I felt at ease. I would definitely contact Jessica again when we next go away. THANKS, Jessica”
“Amy has been helping me walk dog and play with my cat for the last six weeks at noon times. She always arrives on time, and uploads photos/description of my dog and cat during each of her visit. Reading Rover cards with those cute photos has become a highlight of my day while I’m not home. My cat is shy to new people, but I can see her getting closer and starting to get used to Amy’s visit! My dog definitely loves Amy. Overall, I’m very happy to have Amy as my pet sitter and also recommend for others!”
“Jacqueline was so nice and had her first week with rocky. Rocky is a nervous boy as it is, and he was able to get comfortable with her pretty quick!”
“Nicole was exactly what we were looking for as first time Rover users. She volunteered to meet us and our kitties in person, and communicated A LOT throughout our booking. She sent lots of pictures and made us feel comfortable leaving our cats while we traveled. Our cats clearly enjoyed their time with Nicole and if/when needed, we will rebook with her immediately!!”
“Sara cared for our two year old Maine Coon every day for over 2 weeks. She was so thoughtful and attentive and easily developed a special relationship with our cat, who has never been left alone before. The daily pictures and reports put our mind at ease. The Rover app was helpful when we were overseas. We could not have gone away without Sara!”
About: Hi, my name is Jen and I’d love to take care of your fur baby! A little bit about me: I’m a huge animal lover and have spent most of my life taking care of or being around animals in some capacity. I grew up with three cats in the home and have two of my own now. I’ve helped take care of both dogs and cats for family, friends, and neighbors and even helped a close friend raise two litters of kittens! Additionally, I have some previous experience in working with animals after becoming certified in canine grooming and animal care. I have open availability and will continue to do so as I intend on making this a part or even full time job dependent upon the need for services. Rest assure that your pet is in good hands whether it be a walk, visit, or overnight stay. I’ll treat your animal like family and nothing is more sacred than that. At the end of the day what’s most important is that your pet feels safe, comfortable, and happy with whatever environment they're in.
“Kevin took great care of our pups! We had peace of mind knowing they were in good hands. We will definitely be booking him again in the future!”
“Paulina is a great cat sitter! She was easy to communicate with and was happy to meet us and our cat before we hired her. She is reliable and gave our cat plenty of attention while we were away. Would absolutely hire her again. Thank you, Paulina!”
“Judy took great care of my pups while I was away on vacation! She sent several pics and didn't hesitate to ask questions if she was unsure of something which put my mind at ease. Will definitely be using her again!”

“Very happy with Lianne taking care of my cats. She is taking the sweetest pics. And giving my cats some TLC that they are craving. I would recommend her services.”
About: I’ve had a love for animals since I was little. I have a bachelors degree in animal science, and I’ve worked as a vet tech in an animal hospital. I have experience with administering medications, and I have been volunteering as a lead volunteer at a rabbit rescue for the past 5 years, so I am experienced with small animals as well! I’m available for dog walking in the afternoons and drop in visits to your home to care for your pets. Pets include: dogs, cats, and small animals. I pride myself in creating a safe space for all animals. If your pet is shy, or reactive, no worries! I currently have a dog who is very timid and shy of other people and dogs, so I am used to handling dogs who do not fit the “standard” behaviors dogs exhibit.
“Jayla was great! Was so so helpful when our dog was sick and couldn’t get to him. She stayed with him until she was confident that he was feeling better!”
About: I am home full time, have 2 girls 7 and 12 who love dogs as well, I grew up with golden retrievers my whole life, I used to take care of my neighbors dog bc she would work until 11pm at night so her dog would come to my house and we would brush her and feed her, make her feel not so lonely.

Jen H.Star Sitter
“Jen is an incredible pet sitter! She’s been a great friend and neighbor for a few years now. When she told me she was joining Rover I thought it was a perfect fit for her! She does a great job taking care of my Lhasa Apsos, Waldo & Wiggles, who r quite a handful of excited energy and like to barrel through the house bumping into furniture, especially my crafts area … they like to be alert and involved with any activities or noises in and around the neighborhood. Jen has always given them both extra TLC and distracted them from their nerves. I’m her biggest fan! —Mark M., Shrewsbury, MA”

catherine s.
“Cathy is a godsend! She has been pet sitting for me for years, both for my dogs and my cats. Most recently she came to the rescue when I was away caring for my mom and my husband needed assistance giving one of our cats medication every evening. During that period of time she also checked in on the cats once during the morning after he left for work, cleaning cat boxes as needed and giving out treats or catnip to make sure all the cats were happy. Our cats are always more settled when they’ve had an extra visit from Cathy and I know she will take *the best* care of them”
