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!

This was our first time using Rover for our cat, so we were a bit nervous. However, Kayla put us at ease right away with her professionalism. I appreciated that she took off her shoes and, knowing our cat is shy, sat on the floor to meet her at her level, making her feel more comfortable. Kayla’s updates were detailed, and she sent wonderful photos, even bringing in one of our packages. It’s clear my cat has found a new best friend, and I’ll definitely be booking Kayla again!

They really went above and beyond! We never leave our boys alone for very long and I was a little nervous, especially with two crazy kittens and one elderly cat that's had health issues in the past and is very scared of new people. They went above and beyond my expectations! They were so wonderful i got the cutest photos and sweetest updates from them, and was really able to enjoy my holidays knowing that my boys were in good hands! And after our plane was delayed they went above and beyond and checked on the boys last minute. I'm so happy to have found them and can't recommend them enough!

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.

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!

Raven was such a great help for my trip. Reliable, trustworthy, and took good care of my dogs. One of my dogs can be a bit tetchy with new people and Raven knew exactly how to handle it (ignore ignore ignore) till he came around and I was really grateful for that level headedness. Definitely plan to hire Raven again!

She is amazing. I highly recommend this pet sitter. I have two cats and one of them is fairly standoffish and nervous around people. And for some unknown reason, this cat, is in love with her. I had no idea he could be so sweet and cuddly with people and somehow, something magical about her makes him safe and feel loved. I'm almost a little bit jealous of her as a result. I don't think he's ever been as cuddly with me as he is with her. He's a wonderful cat but he definitely has human preferences.

We had a wonderful experience with Gracie! She set my mind at ease at the meet and greet when I brought up some issues that had come up with a previous sitter, and even specifically followed up on these topics during the visits so I knew my two cats were getting proper care. It was great getting daily updates and photos, and even a couple videos from the visits, and the boys were happy and healthy upon return…plus the house wasn’t torn up from anxiety/boredom, so they definitely got playtime and love! Gracie was even kind enough to spend a bit of extra time with them on the weekend since the trip was 10 days. She was also super flexible and understanding of some last minute changes to one of my trips and some updates to care/house instructions. Thank you Gracie!!

I’ve used Courtney multiple times now to check on Malta while I’m out of town, and she’s been great every time. She’s reliable, communicates well, sends updates and photos, and makes the whole process easy. It’s a huge relief knowing Malta is in good hands when I’m away. I’d highly recommend Courtney and will definitely continue booking with her in the future.

We had a wonderful experience with Evita! As first-time Rover users who had only ever left our cats with family before, we were understandably a little nervous, but she was incredibly patient and reassuring throughout the entire process. She was communicative, flexible, and very thorough, making sure we always knew how things were going at home. We especially appreciated that she continued sending updates and photos even when our cats were hiding. It was clear she genuinely cared about our cats' well being and took the time to make sure they were comfortable and cared for. We came home to happy cats and felt completely at ease while we were away. We would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and thoughtful pet sitter!
