“Sunshine has such a great, calming energy that my kitties took to them immediately. I’d absolutely recommend Sunshine and will be using their services again. :)”
“Desirée was great! She was very attentive to my cat, kept me updated on how he was going with pictures and even closely monitored his urination ( we all know this is important in stressed male cats!). He was very happy under her care!”
“Johnny was a fantastic sitter for our cat! he was so attentive and caring, and made sure he was played with and loved every time he stopped in. our cat loved him and so did we!”
“Dissaya and Young were amazing! I’m very nervous leaving my old girl with anyone, especially because we just made a move to a new place. They took excellent care of her and went above and beyond! They even took on extra time when I got delayed on my business trip and left me a few extra bags because I was out. Do not hesitate to leave your fur baby with this incredible couple.”
“Christopher is consistent, communicative, and caring toward my cat Yukiko. I would recommend him as a sitter to anyone looking for a great and stress-free experience!”
“Checked in on my chocolate lab while I was out of down. Did a great job and very good at staying in touch.”
“Lori is a phenomenal sitter! She developed a great relationship with our cat over the days we were away, took plenty of great photos, and I can highly recommend booking with her!”
“Trace was great at keeping me updated around the visits with my cat. Photos were good and the place was cleaner when she left it than when I did!”
“I had a difficult situation come up with a client who needed pet care while she was in the hospital. The process of getting Annie set up for regular care involved a lot of people and was not the typical booking, but Annie was so accommodating and went the extra mile. She ended up watching Midnight for three weeks in a row and did not complain a single time. She was so attentive and helpful. I don't know what would have happened to Midnight if she had not been there to look after him. We are so grateful. Thank you and will definitely book again!”
“Midory was a wonderful sitter for my cats. She was so loving with them both (they tend to be afraid of strangers at first!). Loved all of the photos/updates. Very reliable. I would 100% book her again - thank you Midory!!”
“Caroline was great! Super responsible, communicated well, and was willing to meet with me ahead of time! I felt peace of mind leaving her in charge”
“Maya is amazing!!! She is super responsive, kind, and very easy to get along with. She took amazing care of my cat and was able to watch my cat last minute which I really appreciated. Maya is just the kind of person that I’d want to watch my cat or any dog, couldn’t recommend more!!!”
“Vanessa was incredible! She went above and beyond to ensure our sweet girls were fed, clean, and happy! She was very punctual and communicated with us well including updates, pictures, and videos!”
About: I was raised with big dogs all my life. I was the one responsible for taking care of them, including feeding and cleaning. With my nursing skills I was also the one responsible for taking care of making bandages, and give medications. In my adult life I raised a little chihuahua. I love spending time with dogs and have fun with them. I have a very flexible schedule during the week and weekends. I also work remotely from home but still have some free schedule for Rover. I try to respect the animal place and give some time for them to feel comfortable with my presence. I am a very adaptable person and respect other home as it was my home.
“Evita is fantastic! She’s watched my cat a few times now and is always so attentive and gives great updates which helps me be less anxious about leaving my girl!”
“Sandy was amazing with our older cat! She has absolutely stellar customer service and is a great communicator. My grumpy old-man cat even showed her tons of love while we were gone.”
“Jourdan has been great so far. She has visited Penny twice and has already made progress with her. She also came to meet Penny with us after hours before our visits began to make sure knew Jourdan was ok. We appreciated that”
“I have no hesitation in saying that Celeste is the ABSOLUTE BEST cat sitter on Rover. She would journey through Mordor to check on her furry charges - and that's exactly what she did during The Big Storm 2023. There were issues getting access to my kitties due to the apartment office being unavailable (because the storm), but she persisted and made sure they were taken care of. I know she was doing this for all of her clients during those days - that dedication and reliability is priceless. She is very communicative, which is so so so much appreciated given how anxious I was during all this storm mishigas. Also she takes the best pictures! It was clear that my cats were having a party when she stopped in. Plus she writes the absolute most thoughtful, sweetest updates post visit - like little kitty novels - and it's really lovely to read when you're away from home and maybe a little homesick. It's clear that she loves what she does and treats your pets like her own. 10 out of 10! Would (and will) recommend!”
“This was my first time using Rover and I was super nervous. With help from Yana and the reports and pictures sent over the week I was away, it really helped calm my nerves. Thank you to Yana for making this such an easy and pleasant experience. I will definitely book with her again. Thank you again!”
“Taylor was communicative, patient and overall wonderful with our 2 cats. Would highly recommend! We were gone for 9 days and felt so calm knowing she was taking care of them.”

“As an owner of 2 cats and a dog, huge animal lover, and a veterinarian's granddaughter, I can speak from my heart about Renata as an exceptional pet sitter. She is a beautiful spirit in general and most importantly, a tremendous animal lover. She is incredibly responsible and trustworthy and will ensure your pets are loved like her own. Her passion for all things 'natural' ensures she will create amazing outings for your pet, giving them the time and attention they deserve. I cannot recommend her highly enough - you will be so glad you chose Renata to support your fur babies in your absence. She will be your forever 'go to' pet (and house) sitter moving forward!”
