Ahead of time, she asked really great questions about our dog care preferences, which highlighted her experience and made me feel very comfortable with our first time Rover experience. Highly recommend!”

“Rich is a fantastic pet sitter that cares for your animal like they’re his own. Rich has watched both my cat and dog, and handled my cat’s meds with ease. I know when I’m out of town my pets are getting the love and attention they deserve when they’re in his care! I would recommend him to anyone.”
17. Stephanie H.
“I highly recommend Stephanie as your pet-sitter! She has taken care of my two cats on multiple occasions, both for short and long durations, and has done a wonderful job every time! Stephanie is very reliable, and even watched my cats for over a week, never missing a visit. Not only did she stop in every day, but she made sure to spend time playing with my cats and giving them some love instead of just quickly popping in and out. She is also a great communicator and would reach out to me regularly to share a picture or to let me know about any concerns that came up. If you're looking for someone who will actually provide your pets with some comfort and love while you're gone, Stephanie is definitely your girl!”
18. Mikayla R.
“I had Mikayla watch my cat for a weekend when I went out of town. I asked that she stop by once a day and check that my cat had food, water, and some play time. She went above and beyond and also sent me videos which was great because I was missing my cat. She wa great and I would definitely hire her again!”
19. Bryanna C.
