“Our Suzie fell in love with Crystal from the first moment. Crystal is thoughtful, gentle, and engaged with Suzie, without being a complete push over. We look forward to many more visits with her.”
About: I have had dogs since I was 3 years old. Currently do not have a dog of my own but still dog sit for my mom when she goes out of town or comes visits me. Have plenty of experience with dogs of all sizes and puppies. Young professional in seasonal type job. My work is currently in the slow season so have plenty of time for dogs/puppies. I also have all my weekends available to puppy sit. I live in an apartment but there are plenty of walking trails and parks nearby. I also have plenty of time off and no weekend commitments so I can stay at your home so the pups are more comfortable.
“Dani was an excellent cat sitter during our holiday trip to the UK. We received timely updates about our cat Midge including lots of photos and updates on food/liter. Dani was a great communicator and easy to work with to schedule picking up and dropping off keys. Midge seemed very happy and well taken care of when we returned. I wouldn't hesitate to book Dani again for any travel needs.”
“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.”
“We love when Arispa is available, my cats get excited when she arrives, which says everything! She's attentive, reliable, and genuinely connects with them. We always come home to happy, well-cared-for cats and cute pic updates. Couldn't recommend her enough!”
“Kelly rules! She’s so nice and flexible and gave very thorough reports every day — felt like I was there :) My cat loved her too, he made biscuits in the air with her which he stopped doing with me years ago! Couldn’t have been a better experience!”
“Carly was fabulous as always! We have booked with her multiple times now, and the experience has always been consistently great. She always shows up on time, communicates really well and gives our shy scaredy cat his privacy….while making sure he’s fed and comfortable when we are away. Thank you Carly for all you do!”
“We like Courtney!! She responded quickly to my messages and did a great job with our two dogs. I would definitely book with her again and recommend her services to anyone else needing care for their animals.”
“Wonderful! Our cat loved her immediately and Katie gave her a ton of quality time. Great notes and insightful observations. Will certainly book her the next time we go out of town. Highly recommended!”
“Lillian is AMAZING! They are so attentive, truly love on your pet and keep them comfortable while you’re away. All around a fantastic experience with them and would happily rebook anytime! 😊”
“Kaitlin took such good care of our cat, Penny, on such short notice due to a family emergency. We are so grateful for the thorough updates and exceptional care provided!”
About: I have taken care of cats and dogs from ages 4 months to 12 years! I like to learn each animals needs and modify my care for them! I work three days a week and keep an open schedule to care for others’ animals the other four days in the week! I have a flexible schedule and can even help on the days I am scheduled at my main job! I always ask for your preferences for your animals! Whether this includes walk length, treats and food, and even mannerisms, I always want to make sure YOU and your animals are comfortable!
“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.”
About: I am kind and caring to all pets. Patience is the name of the game for some pets so I always make sure they’re comfortable. Being self-employed allows me to have a fairly open availability to help care for your pet(s). Luckily my business doesn’t take up too much of my day and gives me the freedom to spend my day doing other things that make me happy. Making sure your pets’ needs are met is my top priority. I have a roommate that is sometimes away for business so I make sure her cat is fed, hydrated, kept clean, and well loved.
“Rachel was so sweet and communicative throughout the entire booking process. You can tell she really cares about the pets she cares for and wants them to be happy. I felt confident to leave my sweet dog Rosie in her care!”
“Anna did a great job caring for my cat Cece. She was attentive, spent quality time playing and interacting, and made sure everything was taken care of while I was away. I felt confident leaving Cece in Anna’s care, and would definitely book again!”
“Isabel was incredibly flexible and a great caretaker for our cats for our weekend vacation. They loved their time with her and she provided great updates on how they were doing and took extra care to update us on one of the cats that we told her wasn't feeling well! Our schedule changed last minute and she was super flexible with drop-in times which was amazing!”
Portsmith pet parents share their Rover experiences
Kate was professional from the very beginning with timely and open communication before even booking. It’s clear she has a lot of experience with cat sitting. I didn’t worry once about my pet during my vacation and my pet is reactive and scared of strangers. I would recommend and rebook without doubt.
A+++ cat sitter! Lillian was an absolute professional and a wonderful caregiver for our cat while we were away for two weeks. Our cat, Gage, is 17 years old and has several medical conditions, so we were very selective about who we trusted with his care. We greatly appreciated Lillian's thorough, diligent, and attentive approach. She followed all of Gage's care instructions, provided daily health updates, alerted us to any concerns, and helped ensure he received excellent care throughout our trip. We've been using Rover for years, and Lillian is the best sitter we've ever worked with. She was consistently reliable, kept detailed notes about Gage's care, managed his multiple daily medications and special dietary needs flawlessly, and sent adorable daily photos. We recommend Lillian without reservation and would happily book with her again.
Jessica is a wonderful cat sitter, solid communicator, and great cat photographer! We so appreciated the care she put into taking care of our furry family members, checking in on our travel plans, and the updates/photos she shared with us so we could feel close with them while we traveled. ♥️
I’m very grateful for Lori! Thank you for coming back to check on the boys after not being able to get in the first time and going back to give one of my cats extra medication. Maurice seems to be doing better and is transitioning to his new diet. You are a life saver :)
What an exceptional cat ally! Dani was prompt and responsive to my messages while I was gone during our prearranged time window and gave me sweet updates on my little dudes activities of daily living. The pictures were great and I plan to request her again later this year. Thanks Dani !!
Michelle was absolutely wonderful looking after my cat while I was away. My cat is very shy, and she somehow managed to make him feel comfortable with her, which is impressive all by itself! She was patient, caring, and clearly great with animals. I would absolutely recommend Michelle and would not hesitate to ask her to take care of my cat again.
