“This is my second booking with Melanie and each time she’s been fantastic to work with…she made sure my kitty was given all of his medication and always took lots of pics during each visit. I highly recommend her!”

“Alex did an incredible job watching our dog, Linus. He was nervous at first but quickly became acquainted to Alex and her dog Teddy. Now they are fast friends. Will absolutely book Alex again in the future.”


“Cabby was absolutely amazing! From the very beginning, she communicated effectively and consistently, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. My dog loved her, and it was clear from every update that he felt comfortable, cared for, and happy in her presence. Her visit notes were thoughtful and detailed, and the pictures she sent were truly the highlight of my day. I looked forward to every update because I could see how well my dog was doing and how much care she put into each visit. Cabby is truly a dog whisperer. She was attentive, reliable, kind, and so easy to work with. I am incredibly grateful for the care she provided and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and loving to care for their pet.”

“Vivian was excellent with our pets. She came by before the first visit to meet the dogs and cat and get a feel for the house and the animals. She was very kind and gentle with our shy pets. She was also very attentive and had excellent communication with us throughout the time we were away.”

“Melissa was really great and communicative. This was my first time getting a sitter, and she was extremely patient, answering any concerns I had. She went above and beyond for my cat, helping her feel less lonely, cleaning her area, and refilling necessities. I will definitely book again when I go out of town!”

“Morgan was such a great cat sitter! My shy girl Mia even came out for her. She was communicative and made sure to give the best care to my babies. Would definitely rebook!”

“Yvonne has done a couple drop ins for my puppy and she is great. She was happy to meet before our first visit which gave me peace of mind. Yvonne is very prompt with visits and sends lots of photos. Highly recommend!”

“Ally was a great sitter for our cat Pumpkin!! She had great updates, easy to communicate with, followed instructions perfectly, and our cat loved her. Will definitely book with Ally again!”

“Julianne was great! I had to find a drop in last minute because my usual dog sitter couldn’t board my dogs. She was so responsive and followed all the directions I gave her. I get super anxious about my dogs, but she definitely helped ease my mind. I would gladly book her again!”

“Stacie went above and beyond with taking care of our older and slightly grumpy cat Dutch! She cleaned and cared for our home and pet like it was her own and honestly, she is just a wonderful person with the best energy! We felt completely at ease and comfortable with Stacie taking care of our baby while we were away. She also sent amazing photos and was very detailed in her updates and messages throughout her visits. Thank you Stacie!”

“Sergio did such a great job checking in on Holly this weekend! She’s an anxious cat, but she warmed up to him quickly. He kept me updated and made sure she was well cared for. I’d definitely book him again!”

“Danelle did a great job taking care of Luna, our 4 month old Cavapoo pup! Danelle is very reliable and communicated well, would highly recommend!”

“Shirley Mae was the best - she came a day early for a meet and greet which really helped us feel comfortable with the system as first time users. She was punctual and easy going. She gave a great write up and took pics which we also loved. Thank you!! Def would hire again.”

“Samantha was great with Hank while I was out of town. She provided such great communication with me about the daily check ins, plus very cute pictures. Definitely will be staying in touch for future requests and thanks so much!”

Old Fourth Ward pet parents share their Rover experiences
We had an amazing experience Kayla during the week she spent with our dogs, Cookie and Bella. From the moment we left, we felt completely at ease knowing our pups were in such caring and capable hands. She kept us updated with photos and messages, gave Cookie and Bella plenty of attention, exercise, and affection, and treated them like family. When we returned home, both dogs were happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. We couldn't have asked for a better experience and would highly recommend Kayla to anyone looking for a trustworthy, loving dog sitter. Thank you for taking such wonderful care of Cookie and Bella!

I had a wonderful experience with Kinsey H! I needed a last-minute check-in for my cats and she responded almost immediately and was able to start the visit within 30 minutes. She fed my cats, refreshed their water, cleaned up their litter area, and spent time playing with them. She was also very communicative and honest. Most importantly, she gave me tremendous peace of mind while I was away. My cats were well cared for, and I could tell she genuinely took the time to make sure they were comfortable. I will absolutely be booking with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring pet sitter.

Julianne was great! I had to find a drop in last minute because my usual dog sitter couldn’t board my dogs. She was so responsive and followed all the directions I gave her. I get super anxious about my dogs, but she definitely helped ease my mind. I would gladly book her again!

Rachel did an amazing job with my cat Charlie! She communicated really well during all days and provided amazing pictures and details of her visits. I really enjoyed working with her and would recommend her for anyone looking for a loving and responsible person!

Robert has spent two days with my 10 week old puppy and she is already smitten. We were so lucky on day two for his girlfriend Alex to join in on the fun! I was very nervous the first day of Salsa being left home alone but Robert was so timely and took ample photos! He put me at such ease and for the first time in days Salsa slept all afternoon! I know it’s thanks to Robert playing hard with her that I was able to get some chores around the house done. I’m so happy we connected. Salsa is completely smitten! He works with my schedule and is super flexible and quick to respond to messages. I wouldn’t trust Salsa with anyone else!
