“Nandini took great care of our pup while we were out of town for five days- kept us updated and is a strong communicator! Would definitely book again and recommend her to friends and family!”
“Allison was fantastic with my two cats! She handled everything with care, including giving one of my cats her shot without any issues. The visit notes were detailed and thoughtful, which gave me great peace of mind. Highly recommend!”
“Mikayla took EXCELLENT care of our cat while we were out of town. 100% recommend. We were anxious to leave him, but she sent us multiple photos everyday and gave him lots of love. We will definitely use her in the future.”
“Darius was amazing! This was my first time using Rover and I was a little nervous, but he made the whole experience so easy and stress free. He was great with my dog and very reliable with each visit. I really appreciated the detailed updates and photos after every drop in.”
“Olivia was so fantastic! From the cards, to the frequent communication, to even updating me when power went out in my neighborhood! I could not recommend her enough and will be using her services again in the future!”
“She took such good care of Xavi and really helped ease my worries while I was at work. She’s attentive, responsible, highly communicative and super kind! I’m so lucky to have landed on such a great sitter!”
“Mateo was responsive and communicative to us humans and most importantly kind and loving to our cat. I highly recommend his services and will definitely be booking with him in the future.”
“Karleen was a wonderfully caring, attentive sitter for my cat Apollo. She included a detailed note at the end of each drop-in about Apollo’s mood, energy levels etc. that was reassuring, funny and overall such a joy to read each night. I could tell from the photos Karleen included in the Rover card that Apollo was happy and at ease around her. 100% would recommend and book again!”
“This was such a great process and caretaker. Ynes provided photos, came at the scheduled times, and did sweet things outside of the standard, such as asking for a jacket for my chihuahua because it was raining. Highly recommend.”
“Vivian was very communicative and attentive to our cats. This is especially nice since our cats are on the older side and need to be monitored a little more closely. She sent picture updates each visit and gave them treats as well.”
“Shu did an amazing job giving two of my cats medication and looking after all my cats while I was away! I could tell she really cared about them from the photos and updates she sent.”
“Bryan was delightful to work with and is extremely talented and trustworthy when it came to my pitbull mastiff. He always kept me in the loop with pictures and nice messages with each trip to my house. If I ever need to get out of town again, he will be the guy I’d call first. I recommend him to anyone who wants a hassle free pet sitter.”
“I truly appreciated Bailee stepping up at the last minute to watch my little guy! I had zero issues with communication and I know Rebel received great care. Will book again!”
“We love Darren! He is so attentive to my babies Stella and Smokey. I am so at ease at work knowing Darren is at my apartment to give Stella a potty break, walk and a snack with some water until I get home from work.”
“Nupur was SO amazing!!! This was my very first time using Rover and Nupur was very kind, sweet and informative! My cat, Zaza really likes her! It was so heartwarming to receive the Rover cards each time she would send them with full details and messages. I will def be looking to book her again next time I travel :)”
“Annie was very responsive, thoughtful and efficient. I appreciated the extra care, pictures, updates and communication for the drop ins with our Yorkie. It was our first time using Rover for care while we were on a trip and Annie exceeded our expectations.”

This is the second time Rachel has cat sit for me and she does such an amazing job. Between sending me an abundance of pictures, playing with my cats, cleaning up any mess they made, and making sure all their robots are working accordingly, I feel extremely comfortable leaving my boys in her care. 10/10, will book again 🐈⬛ 💕 🐈⬛
Ellie is super sweet and I could tell she really cared about my cat. She responded to messages quickly and made sure to send plenty of photos during her visits. I knew my cat was in great hands while I was away and would absolutely hire her again. Couldn’t recommend enough.
We had a really great initial visit and I was confident that Jay would be great. She was even better than expected! She was great at adapting to small issues with my cats’ behavior and keeping me up to date about the details and with cute pictures! Will definitely book again!
Gari, where have you been lo these many years? We needed your dependability, efficiency, groundedness and genuine caring for our pets a long time ago! But you came along at just the right moment and set our minds at ease while we were away for almost 2 weeks. Gari collected mail and sent daily personal texts and updates through Rover. They won over our shy indoor cats with gentle attentiveness and vibed with our outdoor cats to gain their trust. We hope Gari will be available for our next extended vacation. We think they and our kitties will take up right where they left off. Thank you again, Gari!
Heaven did an amazing job keeping my cat Kali company while I was gone! I was nervous about leaving her for a couple of days, but Heaven kept me updated whenever she checked on her, which gave me the reassurance I needed. She was also flexible with dropping off the keys to my place once I got back. I highly recommend her, she obviously cares a lot about animals!
Olivia is so great with our boys and our home! Our standoffish cats both come out to see her every time she visits. She is very communicative with us about how they’re doing and takes initiative with things like vacuuming litter and washing their food bowls. We never have to worry about our boys when we are on trips because we know she takes such excellent care of them.
Mikayla is amazing! She has been so good about keeping me informed every time she visits my babies and has really put my mind at ease every time she goes to see them. I’m so grateful for her sending me all the pictures of my kitties during her visits and her communication with me throughout her visits.
Jacquelyn was timely and professional throughout. At the beginning there were some issues getting into my unit and she was very patient and did all that was needed to work through the issue. She would send thoughtful updates about my cats daily, which I appreciated. I would recommend Jackie any time and will absolutely work with her again!
Nandini always goes above and beyond to help us take care of our Aussie puppy whether she’s having an energetic day full of play or needs some extra TLC. I would recommend Nandini to anyone looking for a helpful, kind, communicative Rover to take care of their furry family member!
