“Arianne was great with our boy Carbon. It was his first time spending a night without me or my husband present since we got him 3+ years ago, and she made sure that it wasn't a bad experience for him. We definitely went overboard when it came to providing information about him, but Arianne was able to handle it all without issue. 6/5.”

“Such an amazing sitter! Kristin went above and beyond with caring for our cat. Can’t thank her enough! She gave us daily report cards of how he was doing and sent pictures too. Will definitely be booking again.”

“Robbi is a very responsible and trustworthy pet sitter. Robbi sent me pictures of Mikki everyday. She even sent us a video. It really helped knowing that she was well taken care of.”

“We left for 10 days without our 4 cats. They were fed, litter boxes clean, and doing great. We received daily (reassuring) pictures and reports showing who ate when she dropped in. Would definitely use her services again.”
“This was Cecilia and Kiya's first time meeting. I think it went pretty well. Kiya is a bit of a nervous cat and will stay away until she knows you better. She also has to have medicine every other day and sometimes is hard to catch. She likes having someone in the house all the time so me being gone stresses her. I think the second day Kiya actually played a little with Cecilia and wanted to be petted. Hopefully the next time I have to be gone things will be even better.”

“This was my first time using Rover and I am so happy that I found the app. Nathan was fantastic! He came several days before our booking date to meet our three cats, Lucky, Squeak, and Caramel. Our cats took to him right away, so I knew he was going to be our sitter. I enjoyed the daily pictures of our cats and they looked so content. Nathan will definitely be our sitter the next time we need one. Thanks Nathan for a fantastic job!!! Jo Anne Pullins”


“Mary took great care of our little furball kitty, and really went the extra mile in making sure he wasn't lonely while we were traveling. Her compassion was very appreciated, and we'd be more than happy to leave Mack in her care again!”


“Jetaime is a wonderful and dependable sitter. I have two cats and Jetaime took good care of them. High regards and the best recommendation! I will be working with Jetaime in the future.”

“First time trying rover and was skeptical at first but it didn’t disappoint me. Vannessa is very reliable, friendly, and very communicative! Will definitely rebook again :)”

“If I could give a million stars I would. Stephanie was absolutely heaven sent. David is extremely guarded however by the time it was time for me to come home Stephanie had him eating out of her hand literally. Trinity is a diva that was catered to. I loved the pictures and updates. If you ever need a sitter pick STEPHANIE!!”


About: Certified dog trainer and certified in pet cpr and first aid. I work with animals full-time and have owned pets my whole life. I am extremely detail-oriented and proper care is essential! I can do morning and evening drop-ins during the week. My weekends are open for drop-ins and walks as needed. I am always with animals! I follow instructions very clearly. I can leash dogs if there is not a fenced yard. I also have dog friendly dogs who can come and play with your pups! Otherwise I intend to watch them carefully and ensure they are happy while you are away!
“Morgan was an amazing dog sitter! I received timely updates and notifications, which was great as I was out of town. Morgan was clearly committed to helping Sam despite less than ideal weather conditions. Sam isn't easy to take care of either, he is a 14 1/2 year old, 100 pound golden retriever who is deaf and stubborn! Morgan helped with his routine with great ease. I will book her again without a doubt!”
“Kairi was so quick with responding and very compassionate. She took great care of my girl for a very last minute need. I would recommend her to anyone and will book again if the need arises. Thank you!!”

“Mya did excellent with our kitty, Waffles! She sent lots of pictures (which we appreciated). Our kitty appreciated the care. Communicating with Mya was easy and she also met with Waffles before I left with my trip. I would def hire Mya again!”

“Olivia was our first Rover dog-sitter and I hope we can reserve her services again in the future because she does a superb job. From the moment we met her I felt comfortable having her in my home. My dogs - who normally bark at a fly on the wall - didn’t bark at her the first time they met her, nor a single time after that; she has a very sweet and peaceful demeanor about her which makes everyone feel at ease. She did all of our drop-ins on time and thoroughly and sent sweet pictures, videos, and notes to keep us updated on how the dogs were doing. I can’t thank her enough for how helpful she was. We will definitely hire Olivia again!”

If I could give 6/5 stars I would - Kylie was spectacular with the care of our pets (one very large dog and two cats) and was very communicative throughout our time away. This was our first time using rover and Kylie did an amazing job putting our minds at ease with steady updates. 10/10 recommend!

She did an excellent job with our pets! She followed the directions we left behind really well and was able to take care of an uncommon pet (bird) with ease. She was great about taking a lot of pictures, responding, and asking questions when unsure of something. I would highly recommend her and plan to ask her to pet sit for me again.

Shey was absolutely incredible for our drop in visits! It was my first time leaving my cats alone and she made the experience incredible and eased my anxiety. She was very responsive, understandable, provided lots of updates and just overall felt like she loved and took care of my animals how I would! 100% would recommend!
