1. Taylor H.

“Taylor did an amazing job with my cats! She sent detailed updates, cute pictures, and even brought some of her own toys to play with them. After a series of flops with other Rover sitters, it’s such a relief to find one I feel like I can trust! I’ll definitely be booking with her again.”

“We have used her twice for week long trips for our cat and she is amazing!! Always sends the best photos and videos! Will be using her again :)”


3. Olivia T.

“Olivia did a few drop in visits to check on our cat, and she was wonderful! We got thorough updates, and our cat was very well taken care of. We will definitely continue to use Olivia when we need a pet sitter!”




4. Melanie L.

“Melanie was incredible! I was out of the country for 2 whole weeks and did not worry about my cat once. Her daily logs and photos were wonderful and heartwarming. She put so much care into each visit. Even when Truffle had accidents or made a mess, she took care of it and even went so far as to take home some dirty towels and rags to clean. I cannot recommend Melanie enough!!”


5. Lyndsey D.

“Lyndsey did an excellent job with drop-in visits for my two dogs, and I look forward to having her watch them again!”

“Sarah was great! My cat loved her from the second she came over. Eleanor looked so comfortable in photos!! I will definitely be booking with Sarah again”


9. Ioana C.

“I couldn’t be happier with the cat sitting service I received! From the moment I reached out, Ioana was responsive, friendly, and incredibly professional. She took the time to get to know my cat and his routine, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. I received regular updates and pictures, and it was clear that my cat was comfortable and well cared for. Ioana went above and beyond, even making sure my cat’s litter was kept clean. I highly recommend Ioana to anyone looking for someone reliable, caring, and trustworthy!”


10. Sara D. M.

“Sara did an excellent job with my cat while I was away for 3 weeks! She was very communicative and shared lots of updates. I would highly recommend her!”


11. Kelsey S.

“Kelsey is 5 star plus!! My cat has only been left with a house sitter since I got her 1 1/2 years ago. I was extremely nervous leaving her for just multiple drop ins over 3 days with a new sitter. When she came for the visitation first, I immediately felt more than comfortable with Kelsey! Her love and knowledge of cats was immediately evident and I knew she would be great with Lily. She even spent time offering me tips with problems I have with Lily! When she left, I felt at ease and comfortable leaving her. Communication and pictures were outstanding and I could see how well everything was going. She followed all my "obsessive" directions wonderfully! I came home to a relaxed, happy cat! Kelsey, Lily and I thank you for your wonderful care!!”


12. alanna h.

“Alanna was the best with Lilly and Rosie! My mind was at ease knowing they were loved and taken care of! She sends the best notes and pictures with every visit! I would 100% recommend her to anyone and will be having her pet sit again :)”


13. Erica L.

“Erica did great checking on my kitties while I’m out of town. This was my first time using rover so I was a little nervous but she uploaded pictures and made my kitties feel comfortable. Will definitely use her again!”


14. Allison R.

“Allison was able to do check-ins + walks for my dog Frankie while I was out of town for the day. Allison was so sweet and patient with Frankie who can be a bit timid at first but judging by the pics that were sent on both walks Frankie had a great time. She was happy and safe and relaxed when I got home. Will definitely hire Allison in the future, appreciated her thoroughness and kindness :)”


15. Allie R.
“Allie treats your pet like her own. Cute photos and little updates make you feel like you have a connection with them even if you’re on the other side of the planet. Look forward to the updates everyday I’m traveling.”




16. Cassi L.

“We have used Cassi to drop-in on our two cats for three long trips now and every time has been a wonderful experience. Cassi is always quick to respond to questions, or requests for cat sitting. She is reliable and I feel comfortable being away from home knowing that she will take good care of our kitties during her drop-in visits. My favorite part are the detailed updates Cassi provides for each drop-in. She always leave cute messages about how the cats are doing and how they were feeling in addition to photos! I will continue to use Cassi for all my cat sitting needs, and highly recommend her.”


17. Nolan B.
“Nolan has helped me with watching my cat when I’m out of town. He makes sure the litter box is always clean! He plays with my cat till he’s exhausted and ready for a good nap which I appreciate.”


18. Caitlin B.

“Caitlin is the dream dog sitter! She's such a lovely, friendly person who clearly loves animals. Absolutely recommend her.”


19. Elizabeth C.
“Elizabeth is a fantastic dog sitter! Over the summer, she stayed at our house for a week to care for our dogs while we were away. She regularly sent photos and updates, which gave us peace of mind knowing they were in great hands. She even bought them homemade dog treats (with our permission) from a local farmers market—which I thought was especially kind of her! It's clear she truly cares about the pets she looks after, which is everything a pet owner could ask for. On top of that, she took excellent care of our home. If she hadn’t moved recently, she’d still be our go-to sitter!”


20. Olivia D.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 8! I have two dogos of my own and 5 cats! My family had relied on my to pet sit for their dogs and a bunny before for a week or even longer sometimes. I feed, walk, play, and bathe when needed. I a currently a recently graduated college student looking to make some extra cash to help with a car payment and rent! I do have a job right now as a supervisor at a restaurant mostly working mornings for the month of February but I am a night owl and can be an early riser! We have a fenced in yard for my two dogs here at home. We also have a very comforting space here at my house for the cats. I am willing to work with you as a client to make sure your pet is comfortable while in my care!
