“My cats loved Aimee! I haven’t left them with a cat sitter in a few years and I was very nervous but Aimee took great care of them. She even was able to cuddle both of them. One of them had an accident one day and she cleaned it up for me. I came back to my apartment being clean and the cats happy. She followed instructions perfectly and was very kind and easy to work with. Will definitely book her again!”


“Bobby was absolutely amazing. We were nervous about leaving our cat because he’s a brand new addition to our family, but Bobby took care of our little dude better than we could have hoped for. We received detailed daily updates with tons of pictures for us to gush over. Bobby went the extra mile for us and it is so appreciated ?”


“Rachel is the best!! This was my first time leaving my cat since getting him and I was so anxious beforehand but she did such a great job!! Never once did she forget to check in and give me the best overall summary of how my cat was doing, I was only gone a few days but I was never worried. She takes wonderful pictures of playtime and will always make sure to keep you updated how your pet is doing while you are away. Extremely professional would 100% book her again!!”



“Alex did a great job on short notice. I even sent him to the wrong address by accident and he was a good sport! He gave me updates, photos and kept great communication. My puppy was very happy to have him visit while I was at work :).”


“Byron did a couple drop ins for our cats and was awesome! He was super punctual and attentive. We were so glad our cats were cared for while we were out of town.”


“I am not yet home, but expect to find confirmation of feeding, watering, cleaning as was agreed. Lillian has been a wonderful partner and I would be grateful for her assistance in the future should I require care for my cats.”


“This was my first time using Rover for our 3 cats. Chris came for a visit the day before we left, we went over everything, and he showed up and did everything exactly like I requested while we were gone. He also sent us a whole bunch of pictures each visit, which allowed me to figure out one of the cats was guarding and binging on the dry food! We changed course with the food, and Chris seemed to adjust easily. The cats weren't anxious when we got home, and our shy cat came out from hiding to interact with a stranger for the very first time! Win, win, win!”


“He was very communicative and even did extra things that I forgot to ask him to do in the midst of travel prep — e.g., taking out my garbage bins. Highly recommend!”


“I am very happy with Dani's care of Copper and Chirp. Dani was very promptly responsive to every inquiry, including pre-stay, during stay, and post stay. She also helped me navigate the website and sent me many adorable photos of my furry babies. I would recommend her and would be happy to use her again if I travel anytime soon. Thanks to Dani and Rover! Betty Wadsworth”


“So happy we could book with Rebecca again while we were out of town for a couple days! Our kitty is obviously comfortable with her, and she offers such a peace of mind with her update & photos. I know I’m on vacation but it makes my day when I get her photos of Avocado! Thank you again!!! 🐱🐠💚”


“Melissa is amazing! She provided wonderful updates each day and was respectful of my cats shy personality. Melissa is very kind and willing to go the extra mile to provide the pet and owner peace of mind. Will definitely be booking with her again.”


“I could tell from the updates and photos that my cat loved his daily visits from Carly while I was out of town and got plenty of playtime and attention. Carly was super accommodating with key exchange and scheduling, and provided detailed check-ins from each visit that made my day and provided a ton of peace of mind :)”


“Crystal was great! Thorough updates and my cat seemed very happy”



“Alissa took great care of my kitty! The person I originally booked never showed up and Within 10 mins, she was at my house to take care of my cat! I will absolutely use her again if I need a sitter!”

“Iris is wonderful! She clearly loves my dog, and sends tons of adorable pictures of them together. She has also accommodated my weird nursing schedule when she can and offered referrals to other Rover friends who might be able to step in when she can’t. Couldn’t recommend her enough!”


“Megan was awesome and very communicative about any issues if they occurred. She took care of our two cats over the last week. Would highly recommend!”


“My goodness - Kelly goes WAY above and beyond in taking care of our cats. She is 100% dependable and communicative, and she is a caring and thoughtful caregiver. She even helps us find trusted backups for times that she is unavailable, and had some sensitive suggestions for ways we might help one of our cats deal with some issues. She's amazing!”


“Sydney was very comfortable doing some drop in visits with my senior dog while I was at home recovering from a medical thing. I could tell she has experience with feeding medications. She’s also very friendly. I think I wasn’t as clear on the first day as I should have been since my pup is a stubborn Shiba who has some unusual quirks, but that’s on me. We settled into a nice groove after I gave her more detailed (Shiba hack) instructions. I have already re-booked her and would do so again!”


“Chelsea is a great sitter! She is a great communicator and sent daily updates with photos and videos. Our home was left tidy and she brought in our mail for us! Will definitely book her again :)”


“Venus was great! She took such good care of our kitty and garden while we were away, and provided fun photos and videos. It was a relief knowing our kitty was getting the loves, food, medicine, and care he needed while we were away. Venus was also very responsive to communications. We'll be happy to have her back again.”

Portsmith pet parents share their Rover experiences
Aimee took great care of our cats and our garden (it was thriving after some sweltering days) and even came back to let one cat in later. She dealt with an “accident” one of my cats had on the floor and still managed to okay with them and send lots of pictures. She was wonderful and we can’t wait to have her watch them again.

Lori took great care of our kitty and also took great care of our yard. We really appreciated her willingness to water the plants given the hot weather and lack of rain. Thanks so much, Lori!

Salam really went the extra mile to tend to the comfort of our anxious and stubborn kitty. Excellent communication too! Would definitely book again

Michelle has always been great with our cat. Always can trust her and has been very easy to work with. Highly recommend!

Dani is a fantastic kitty sitter! She is very communicative and responsible and our little guy was great upon our return. She even went above and beyond when a bottle of sauce exploded in our cabinet, leaving sticky residue on the counter top. She sent me a text with a pic to keep me informed and cleaned the mess it left on the counter so it wouldn't stain. Dani is the best!

Madison is super responsible and on time, and our cat loves her! She takes incredible action shots of her playing 😂 We always know she'll take great care of our kitty and would recommend her to anyone as a cat sitter.

Venus was great! She took such good care of our kitty and garden while we were away, and provided fun photos and videos. It was a relief knowing our kitty was getting the loves, food, medicine, and care he needed while we were away. Venus was also very responsive to communications. We'll be happy to have her back again.

Kira was wonderful during her drop ins for my kitty. Sent some cute photos too. 10/10 would recommend her

Melissa was awesome. She responded very quickly, was available and attentive and very sweet. I was totally confident in her watching my cat while I was away.

This is our second time using Augustine for our cats, one of whom requires medication. Augustine was very communicative, prompt, sent good photos, our cats seemed happy, and I would recommend her and use her services again!

Diego is wonderful with our cat, and for the brief time we had our son's dog. He's so kind and does a great job of helping us not be worried about our cat when we're out of town. He's a pleasure to work with and is very responsive in communications. 10 out of 10 and we'll definitely use him again when needed!

Molly continues to take such good care of our plant and animal friends! Thank you for keeping everything alive, watered, and fed in this heat. We so appreciate your extra care and diligence.

Kaitlin was great! She took care of my kitten and very shy dog. A short visit for a potty break and feeding went well. Thank you!

This is the second time Sonya has helped care for our pugs. She arrived exactly when requested to help give our pugs a little play time, dinner and bathroom break while we were away at an all day event. She cleaned up after the pugs and left them happy and content.

Amanda was fantastic, responsive, and worked with me to fix some address snafus. Thanks for everything!

Donna is amazing. Actually got our timid dog out of his shell. She also sent us notes and pictures every time she visited.

Julian came through to help us on short notice and did a great job keeping our three kitties happy and cared for while we were away. Thanks so much!

We don’t leave our cats often, so finding someone we trust was a big deal, and Arispa was amazing! She stepped in at the last minute, took great care of them, and kept us updated the whole time with thoughtful check-ins. We came home to very happy cats. Would 100% book again.
