“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.”
“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.”
“I love the peace of mind knowing Robbi was taking such good care of our kitty while we were away, and we looked forward to the daily report cards and photos. This is the second time we’ve booked her and will be sure to do so again in the future. She is very dependable and consistent and takes the cutest pics of our cat! Thank you, Robbi! It is such a relief coming home after a long journey to a happy cat.”
“Kylie did a great job with my very shy kitties while I was away. She was very patient and understanding of my scaredy cats, I loved getting to see pictures of them every day, I would definitely rebook with her.”
“Raven was awesome to work with! Very flexible with my not knowing dates completely in advance, she took great care of my senior kitty which means a lot to me and allowed me to not worry about him while I was busy giving birth to my first baby.”
“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.”
“We had a wonderful experience meeting Mary and having her come by to watch our cat Willow for the weekend. She was thorough in the questions she asked to prepare for providing Willow the best care possible while we were out of town. She also sent along great updates and photos each day. She went above and beyond with the time spent making sure she had company. We highly recommend Mary to others and will definitely be requesting her help again in the future!”
“Vanessa is the best on Rover. She’s done drop-ins and overnights with our two elderly cats who need A LOT of attention. The house is always in great shape when we return and we always receive pictures of the cats.”

“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.”
“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”
“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!!”

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!

“Morgan took exceptional care of my lil sweet peanut. I was in a bind with work and had to leave my dog at my hotel. Morgan is experienced with this setup and I didn’t even have to ask her to leave the tv on and leave water out. She found a great spot to walk pup and relax with other dogs, despite the heat right next to a creek. Morgan was excellent at communicating and I would recommend her to anyone.”

I hate leaving glowing reviews in case it makes Kylie’s service too popular that I’d have a harder time getting access to her in caring for Bru. But alas, Kylie is awesome to work with! She always sends updates on my girl when I’m away which is super comforting. She is always happy to work with my schedule and goes above and beyond! Bru loves her, so I do too. 😃👍
Cloe was a wonderful help in keeping our pets happy and healthy while my husband and I were out of town. Cloe kept them company, played with them, and ensured one of our pets got her medication daily as needed- all while communicating well with us as needed. Any pet and pet parent would be lucky to have Cloe’s services!
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.
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!
She took care of my girl and followed instructions! No issues my dog was so happy and comfortable. I will definitely be booking again for future visits! :) I needed someone to come hang out with my dog on Christmas Eve and it was so last minute. Extremely grateful!
It was a delight to meet Rachael for a drop in visit. My pup took to her immediately. Looking forward to her taking care of Pippa while we're away. She asked good questions, she had good responses to my questions, and she left me feeling much more comfortable about having someone stay in my home.
Kaitlynn & Job checked in on our two dogs three times a day for us while we were away for four days and it brought us such peace of mind! Our girls warmed up to them and I could see in the photos their comfort and appreciation. We will definitely be having them check on our girls again when we aren’t in town!
