“Brittany was prompt to respond when I applied for a booking, arranged to come over and meet the cats right away, followed all care requests and reported back with notes and photos. Also, she adapted the booking for me when our trip was cut short unexpectedly. Would definitely use again. Thanks for everything Brittany!”
“Mike was phenomenal! To start, he came to meet the cats and learn all about them before booking. Allowing us all to feel at ease for the duration of these services. He also picked up the keys close to our trip which made the transfer very easy. Each day we were away, Mike would send us plenty of pictures and updates. He really cared about our fur babies in our absence. Upon our return, the keys were placed exactly where we discussed. The entire process was so easy and simple. Mike is a pleasure to work with, and he really cares. I would recommend him and would easily work with him again!”
“Memorial Day Weekend (3 days) was the first time that I had been away from home and needed pet care for 3 pets from Wojciech. Like before, he has been very communicative to the needs and issues that may arrive with my pets. On this weekend, while miles away, he informed me that one of my pets (my bird) had taken ill. He took care of my bird as best that he could given that he had probably little prior bird experience, and he checked on my bird until I was able to return home to make the final care taking for my bird.”
“Sara recently cared for our cats over a long weekend, and we were very glad to have her! One of our cats is on a few medications, and she was quick to learn their administration, and made sure our cat took them. She also kept a close eye on our cat's potential health concerns, which put our minds at ease while we were away. Sara also always responded quickly, and was very punctual. She was super easy to work with, and we'd feel good about leaving our cats in her care again.”
“Mandy was so wonderful with my cat! She fed and watered her as requested, and she spent some time with her playing and cuddling! She kept me updated with pictures and comments every time she visited. I would recommend her services to anyone in need of a sitter!”
“Cece is very sweet. She followed all of my directions and took care of our kittens while we were briefly out of town. She also managed to impress our one kitten who is apprehensive of strangers. She sent pictures which we greatly appreciated. Thank you again!”
“Sarah was very communicative, reliable and kind to my nervous cat. She played a bird video daily for her to help calm, gave her treats and kept everything clean/tidy.”
“She is the first cat sitter we’ve ever had that managed to see, feed, and pet one of our cats who is terrified of everyone except me and my husband. As a consequence, she is the best cat sitter we’ve ever had!”
“Ben took care of my two young kittens while I was away. He was super friendly, reliable, and responsive. He went above and beyond with caring for the kitties and tidying up my home. Will definitely contact him again for future pet sitting.”
“Charlotte is attentive, communicative, and takes great care of our fur baby! I am so grateful to her for providing care and comfort to our cat when we are out of town.”
“Brianna was amazing! Despite my extremely shy kitties, she made sure to communicate every day (and send photos of them running away haha). Everything I asked was taken care of and we came home to very happy boys. I would definitely recommend Brianna to anyone in need of a pet sitter!”
“It was our first time leaving, Daphne, our cat alone for a weekend and we were apprehensive in leaving her with a sitter. Patricia took the time to come to our house and meet Daphne. When it came time to leave for our trip Patricia made sure to send us a whole bunch of pictures of her and Daphne playing and having a good time. Patricia made our first experience using Rover effortless and made us feel comfortable while we enjoyed our weekend. We will be sure to check if Patricia is available next time we book a trip.”
“Kia was great. I was able to go away for an extended work trip without worrying about my boys. I came home to happy well-fed cats. I would definitely hire her again and recommend her to anyone.”
“Helena was great! My cats loved her. She sent me lots of pictures and I felt truly comfortable with my cats in her care. I would definitely have her look after my cats again.”
About: As an animal lover, I truly feel that being around animals is my happiest place. For the past six years, I've cared for three German Shepherds and a cat-both during the day and overnight. Not only did I enjoy it, but I genuinely craved the relationship. I understand how hard it can be to trust someone-not just with your beloved animals, but also with your home. That's why I take pride in being reliable, respectful, and attentive. I hope to meet you soon. 1. Morning Walks & Feeding: I start my day early, so morning walks and feedings are easy to fit into my routine. I enjoy getting fresh air and movement first thing, and pet care fits perfectly into that rhythm. 2. Midday Check-ins or Playtime: I often work from home or have a flexible midday schedule, so I can do potty breaks, walks, or play sessions during lunch hours. These breaks actually energize me and give structure to my day. 3. Evening Wind-down: Evening walks, dinner, and some cuddle time are a nice way to unwind from the day. I usually reserve evenings for low-stress activities, and spending time with pets is relaxing and fulfilling. 4. Sleepover Flexibility: I'm available for overnight stays when needed and plan ahead to ensure I'm fully present for the pets in my care. Routine and Comfort I follow the pet’s usual routine as closely as possible—feeding, walks, potty breaks, and playtime—so they feel safe and secure. I take time to get to know each pet’s personality, preferences, and energy level, adjusting my approach to meet their needs. 🍽️ Feeding and Hydration I prepare meals according to the client’s instructions and make sure fresh water is always available. I double-check feeding schedules and portion sizes to ensure consistency. 🧼 Cleanliness and Hygiene I clean up after the pets—litter boxes, food bowls, toys, and accidents if they happen—so the home stays tidy. I wipe paws if needed after walks and make sure pets are comfortable and clean. 🎾 Exercise and Enrichment I play with dogs or cats to keep them active and engaged—walks, toys, fetch, laser pointers, or cuddles depending on what they love. If the pet is older or has health needs, I provide gentle interaction and quiet companionship. 🩺 Health and Safety I monitor for any changes in behavior, appetite, or health, and I contact the owner immediately if anything seems off. I’m comfortable administering medication if needed (oral, topical, or injection, depending on my experience and your instructions). 📝 Communication and Updates I send daily updates with photos or videos so clients can feel at ease while they’re away. I’m responsive and available for check-ins or questions during the sit. 🛋️ Respect for the Home I treat the home with the same care and respect I would want in mine—tidy, secure, and peaceful. I follow house rules (lights, trash, alarms, etc.) and always leave the home in great shape.
“He did a great job taking care of my kitties while we were on vacation! Very pleasant, friendly, trustworthy and communicates well! Looking forward to using his services again.”
“I am a repeat customer. Kathy has been excellent with communication and highly reliable. She has been able to help with our animals requiring special medical needs and cared for our pets like her own.”

Penfield cat parents share their Rover experiences
Riley was very helpful with our cats and understanding their personalities. She kept in touch and let us know about their daily activities to ensure everything was good with both cats. She provided feedback on their habits and was super helpful in answering our questions.
Alexis took excellent care of my cat while I was away for a family wedding!!! I had just recently moved, and my cat is still traumatized by the move. Alexis ensured that he was eating and drinking. And she provided continuous updates, which helped my anxiety about leaving him. Thanks to Alexis I was able to enjoy the wedding!! I won’t hesitate to reach out to Alexis if I need a sitter again.
Olga was really amazing. She was so fantastic with my three kitties. Normally timid, two of them immediately came out on the first day with her!! Olga was consistent, warm, friendly, thorough and professional as well as communicative. I can’t recommend her enough!
