“Renata was so caring and communicative! She took great care of our sweet cat the first time we left her after adopting her and sent us lots of pictures. She’ll definitely be our first call when we have to leave town again.”
“Kept my place so neat on top of caring for my elderly cat that is prone to accidents. Would highly recommend reaching out to Adelaide if you need someone trustworthy to watch your pets!”
“Kayla has watched our two cat babies many times! I’m very appreciative of their daily updates with pictures. Big thanks for bringing up our cans and bringing in our packages too! So above and beyond what was expected. It’s so wonderful to have all the smelly litter out of the house when we get home. Couldn’t be happier to have such a trustworthy person to take care of our little four legged family members while we’re gone!”
“Molly was so kind and helpful! She went above and beyond to make sure my little Midnight had everything she needed while I was away. She also sent such helpful updates! Would definitely book with her again.”
“Trace was amazing and went above beyond to make sure my little guy was taken care of. She was also really helpful with house stuff in general and made sure the house was well taken care of while I was out.”
About: I was raised on a farm in rural Texas so most of my experience is not only cats and dogs but also chickenens, horses and cattle! Older animals have my heart :3 I currently have a bearded dragon! Currently I have no set schedule so my availability is very open meaning I can be with your pets all day. Mornings are accepted as well due to myself being an early riser. I care for each pet as of they are my own, they'll get all the attention they want and play that they need. I'm a very clean person as well so rest assured your place will not be messy or dirty when you return.
“I booked Annie last minute to watch my cat over the holidays and she was excellent! She was punctual and thorough and I’m incredibly grateful she was able to be so accommodating.”
“Tayla was fantastic with two shy kitties! She was punctual with daily check-ins and sent updates with plenty of photos to ease my worry. Both cats were happy and well cared for. Tayla was thoughtful with her care and even suggested separate feedings to ensure Oona didn’t go hungry. We hope to rebook with Tayla for our next trip!”
“Maya was absolutely wonderful! The best sitter I have had using Rover. I never had to wonder if Keno was okay, she kept me informed and provided pictures and information on every drop in. Even cleaned some of the enrichment toys I left. Wonderful sitter, book her!!”
“Albany did a great job caring for our two dogs! We had something come up last minute, and Albany was very helpful and responsive. We’d love to have Albany do drop in visits again. If you’re looking for a good sitter, look no further than Albany!”
“Taylor took *wonderful* care of my cats! She did everything I asked, sent succinct and helpful summaries, and - most telling of all - both cats were healthy and happy upon my return. She seems highly competent and I would hire her again in a heartbeat.”
“Raven took it slow with Molly on her first visit, gave Molly time to smell things out and wander around the house with her there. Within a short period of time, Molly was all kisses and cuddles with Raven, even got her out for a walk on the first visit. Raven is so patient and calm with hesitant/nervous dogs. She's a bit of a dog whisperer. Molly loves you Raven, looking forward to the next visit 😍”
“Desirée did a fabulous job with drop in visits for my three cats, including one who needs oral medication. Everything went super smoothly! I also appreciate her prompt communication and flexibility.”
“Christopher continues to be my most reliable catsitter. He is communicative, thoughtful, and problem-solving (when my cat seemed anxious, he deduced the likely source and took care of it). I would highly recommend him.”
“Chris was the absolute best! The dogs loved him and can't wait for him to visit again. He kept us very well informed - we felt very well taken care of too. We are very thankful to him for saving our Thanksgiving trip.”
About: While I don’t currently have any pets of my own, I have experience dog sitting for family and friends pets. I work from home and am able to take your furry friend out and about for potty breaks throughout the work day. After work I love taking long walks through the city and I can’t wait to have company if your pet is up for it! Dogs have been a part of my life since I was little and I have always consider them family. Pets are encouraged to snuggle up next to me on the couch while I’m working and in bed for the night. I can’t wait to meet you and your furry companion! I am a work from home gal who is able to take your pet out for frequent potty breaks. I am available for care 7 days a week. I live in an apartment but indoor play and long walks are a specialty of mine. Dogs can expect unlimited cuddles and walks to burn energy.
“I know there is already a review saying that Celeste is a gem, but seriously. She is truly a GEM! This was the first time I've ever felt completely at ease having my sweet kitty boy checked in by someone on Rover. She made me so happy to know that someone who really cares for my baby was watching over him. Celeste went so above and beyond. Will definitely be booking Celeste again!”
“Briana took amazing care of my two cats. She was clean, responsive, communicative, and sent tons of pictures and updates. I could tell my cats we’re comfy with her after the first two visits. She also stepped in last minute when I wasn’t able to get home as planned, which was such a huge help. I’m so grateful for her reliability and kindness, and I would absolutely book with her again! 12/10!”

I’m really grateful for Tayla and all the care she gave my senior kitty while I was away! Everyday I was sent plenty of pictures and detailed updates. Nala loved her and warmed up quickly. I could tell when I got home she was well loved. Thank you Tayla, you’re the best!! ❤️🐈
Erin did a great job taking the best care of my cat Olive! Followed instructions, great communication, took the sweetest pictures, and overall good care of my home when I returned. I would definitely book again with Erin, she was wonderful and Olive definitely warmed up to her quick!
We had such a wonderful experience with Gracie as our cat sitter! From the very beginning, she was reliable, communicative, and clearly cared deeply about Vivian. We received regular updates and photos while we were away, which gave us so much peace of mind. We highly recommend her and look forward to booking her services again!
