“Aly looked after my two cats while I was on a business trip for three days, and she did a very good job. She met with me in advance, and she kept the cats very comfortable while I was away. Upon my return, the cats were well cared for and happy. She was respectful of my home, and I recommend her services.”
“Aliana did an incredible job with my cat, Sophie. She was knowledgeable about cats and was so loving and playful with Sophie. She asked a lot of questions about how she can care best for Sophie and kept in regular contact with pictures and videos. I will definitely be contacting Aliana anytime I need someone to watch my cat.”
“Giselle was great checking on our cats while we were away. She sent daily updates including video clips spending time, petting, brushing and interacting with our two kitties. I believe spending a half hour a day. We returned home to everything tidy and a fresh litter box. We very much appreciate it as we miss our guys when away and glad they got some special attention. Thank you!”
“Brittney was great! She was prompt with her visits. She communicated with us so we knew everything that was happening. One of our cats is timid so we worried about her ever seeing him, but she managed to see him and pet him! We loved all the photo and video documentation.”
“Jade was wonderful taking case of our two cats. He checked in on them for a few days, gave some medication, made sure they were fed and watered and played with. We’ll definitely be using Jade again!”
“Gabby was house sitting for our 3 cats over the weekend. It was helpful of her to do this on short notice and she came to visit the cats beforehand to put us at ease. Gabby messaged us each day and was responsive when we called to check in, she took good care of our cats and our home. Much appreciated and would recommend to others.”
About: I have had dogs in my home since I was in fifth grade! My family and I currently own a dachshund:miniature pincher mix who is missing her back paw! My sister and parents also own large-breed dogs I also care for when they are out of town! I work remotely full-time and have the flexibility to work from any location!

I firmly believe that my dog and your dogs are a member of the family and should be treated with the same love and care as anyone in the home.
“This was our second time using Anna. She is wonderful and our kitties love her. She sends many pictures and updates. We know our kitties are in good hands with her. We can't wait to use her again!”
“Brooke has taken care of our pets multiple times and she is always kind, consistent, and caring as well as a clear communicator. We are grateful we can trust someone with our pets. Thank you!”
About: I have pet sit for my friends, family and loved ones. I would love to get a job as a groomer on day at a pet shop. It fits perfectly as I work from home part time and have plenty of time on my hands to pet sit and take care of pets. I created a safe warm space for them In my home to make sure they feel comfortable enough to stay with me while their family is away.
“I just booked Christine for the fourth time! She is very responsible and has been giving my cat insulin injections 2x a day after each meal with no extra charge for the injections! Highly recommended!”
“FANTASTIC! Ruth is an angel. First time dog mom and rover user so to say I was anxious would be an understatement. Also to note, this was the first night I had to leave my 10 week old puppy alone for the night and Ruth not only did a fantastic job in taking my puppy out to do his duties but she played with him as well. She has gone above and beyond my expectations and I truly can’t thank her enough. She has eased my worries completely, she responds in a very fast and timely manner. Not once did I feel like she was annoyed at me or my questions. Ruth is the very BEST! THANK YOU!”
“Julianne was phenomenal! She was fast to respond and very accommodating. I reached out a day before and she was able to come meet my kitten the next day! I was impressed with her response times and she was very professional. She was prompt, sent photos, and Maverick loved her! I will definitely use her again.”
“Veronica did a great job taking care of our cat Cheese! We came back to a healthy happy kitty and knowing we had someone we could trust gave us great peace of mind while we were away.”

Portland cat parents share their Rover experiences
It is commendable that Michelle was able to get my “feral” cat Madelyn out to sniff her hand!! And she relieved me from worry by caring for all my fur babies while I was gone over the holiday weekend including giving one of my cats his inhaler If anyone is looking for a pet sitter around East Hampton to drop in Michelle gets the job done. It was a perk to come home to a clean area as well.
