“I would recommend David, anytime, anywhere. He is conscientious, responsible and accountable for his actions. He is trustworthy. He will be my ‘go to’ for whenever I need my ‘best friend’ cared for! Jim”
“Audrey was very good with our elderly kitty. She was excited to meet and interact with him even though he's an old grump! Audrey was conscientious and respectful, follwed directions accurately, and truly loves animals. Will defintely book again!”
“First time using Rover and I was very pleased with Kristin! She was very considerate & respectful of my grumpy cat during our meet and greet, and asked thoughtful questions to make sure she understood my cats personalities, routines and needs. Felt completely comfortable going away knowing they would be looked after just as well as a family member checking in”
“Suzanne did a wonderful job with our fur babies. Our girl cat can be cranky or a sweetheart and Suzanne knew how to bring the sweetheart out of her. She sent delightful photos of Peanut rubbing all up and down her leg in greeting and running around the house excitedly playing or having zoomies. We knew our cat was in good hands with her from the very beginning - just a vibe - but she proved to be responsible, attentive, and definitely went the extra mile to make sure we knew Peanut was being loved, food and maintenance was being taken care of, and that our other pets were also safe.”
“Lavina is the first pet sitter that I have used from Rover. I was very nervous about leaving my 8 month old cat O’Malley with a stranger but Lavina’s attentive care eased my concerns. She sent updates with pictures twice daily. I have already re-booked with her!”
“Rhea did a great job with Spock! She sent cute pictures of his outside time and him getting a treat, and she put a bowl of water down when his fountain stopped working 10 out of 10 stars!!”
“Anna was fantastic. It was my cat’s first Rover/pet-sitting experience. Kitty had a recent surgery, and needed topical medicine and to be in a cone during her week long stay. Anna was really accommodating and I felt comfortable that Kitty was in good hands. She answered all my questions and sent frequent updates. I really recommend her and would definitely ask her to watch Kitty again.”
“Callie is so wonderful! She is so incredibly nice and sweet. Upon meeting her, I could tell how much she loves animals and would care for our cats. Callie was incredibly responsive, which is so great. Callie communicated well and sent lots of photos. I felt so comfortable with Callie taking care of my animals. I would 100% ask Callie to watch my animals again.”
About: The detail and attention I provide is very specific. I can administer oral medications, provide walks, play, and provide exercise. I’m also comfortable with brushing hair. My schedule is very flexible and it’s convenient to fit pat care into my weekly routine. As an independent worker I create my own schedule. My cats and dogs are cared for extremely well. They are quite spoiled. I care for others pets as if they are my own. I genuinely love all pets in my care.
“Carissa was excellent with our cats, feeding them and checking in on them while we were away. She was a great communicator and gave fun, detailed reports each day. Would definitely book with her again!”
“Merritt was an absolute joy to work with and went above and beyond to care for my kitty Dixie for a long weekend. I haven’t needed a sitter for a few years, and despite contacting Merritt just a few days prior, she was flexible and thorough in ensuring the best possible care. Her communication and frequent updates were appreciated, and I’ll definitely contact Merritt again next time I need a sitter!”
“Gary obviously loves animals and they love him! He took great care of our pups at our house while we were out of town for a weekend. He also watered our plants which was super helpful.”
“My partner and I recently had to leave town for a wedding. We had never used Rover before, and were curious how we would feel having someone new watch our cats while gone for the weekend. Kelly went above and beyond for us! She sent detailed updates and photos every visit, which was such a fun treat for us. It really gave us a peace of mind. Kelly made sure to keep them on their feeding schedule, and provide them with plenty of treats and playtime. 10/10!”
About: When I take care of pets, I treat your home as my own and go above and behind to treat your fur babies as I would my own. My compassion and work ethic make me a perfect candidate for any pet sitting job. I work full time in an office but am very used to taking care of pets in other people’s homes. Due to my work schedule, weekends are best since I am able to spend more time with the pets. However I am totally fine with commuting from other homes to my office if that works for my clients. I figure out what each pet needs and I act accordingly. I treat clients’ home (and their pets) as I would my own: respectfully and with great attention and care. I believe it’s important to be open and communicative with my clients to establish expectations with both the home and the pets.

David was a pleasure to interact with and very caring and attentive toward our little kitties. One of our cats is especially skittish and usually hides when new people come over which he did at first, but in the end David prevailed in extracting our kitties better nature. Would recommend and commission again!
"Carissa was PHENOMENA with my cats! Even my most skittish cat warmed up to her quickly, which is rare!! She clearly has a natural way with animals and made sure my pets felt safe and loved while I was away. I came home to calm, happy, and well-cared cats. I will definitely be booking with Carissa again and highly recommend her
Jeannine and Justin did a fabulous job with our kitties! Spice is elderly and needs medication and they were able to take care of that. She also often uses the bathtub as a litter box. They cleaned up after her a the house was in great condition upon our return. They were also extremely communicative and we received photos and an update each day. I would highly recommend them!
I couldn’t ask for a better cat sitter!! Caroline sent tons of pics and my girls just love her! Even my cat who is very anxious (especially with new people) immediately warmed up to her and by the second visit was going up to greet her at the door ❤️ I truly cannot recommend Caroline enough!
Merritt is so good with our elderly cat. They giver lots of love and give detailed reports of how she did during their visit. We’ve booked them twice now and wouldn’t hesitate to book them again, if we weren’t moving out of the state! Merritt gives our cat her meds with ease and even brings in packages when left at the door while we are out. Highly recommend booking Merritt!
