Shera is far and away the best pest sitter we've ever had. She took the time to form a real bond with each of our cats, who clearly adore her (no small feat considering two are pretty shy), which made it so much easier for us to enjoy our vacation. We loved knowing our fluffs were getting love and play and treats from someone they genuinely trust. Shera is an incredible and detailed planner and communicator; we really appreciated her detailed updates about the state of the house, food/water/litter, and how each cat was doing, and we LOVED her incredible daily pet photography. They're some of the best pictures we have of them. We highly recommend Shera and look forward to working with her again, hopefully many times.

Natalie took excellent care of Taco and played his little ears off! She took lots of pictures and videos so I knew that he had a great time. I will definitely be calling Natalie again. 😀

Jessica took such great care of my grumpy old lady cat. She administered her necessary medication and spent some time with her twice a day. I got home from a long trip with a healthy happy cat waiting for me!

I have had an unstable schedule recently. Elizabeth has been very flexible with me over the past 2 weeks. I swell my dogs kibble as well as add “real” food like veggies, egg, yogurt, pumpkin purée etc. The feeding routine is not simple. She did everything as asked. My animals seem to really like her too!

Kacey and Elizabeth were absolutely amazing. Our family could not have asked for a better first Rover experience. We’ll continue to use them to care for our pup when we’re out of town. Timely, excellent communication. Totally exceeded my expectations!

Arrived home to find kitty happy and healthy after a weekend away. Elisa was really friendly and responsive throughout the booking and meeting process, and sent photos and updates for each drop-in. I was looking for a sitter with experience with injections, and Elisa was able to give my cat her shots twice a day with no problems. I'm already planning to book her again next time!

About: Hi! My name is chynna (China), I know life can be expensive and I know my rates are higher. However please send me a message and I am willing to work with any budget! :) I've grown up with dogs my whole life, I work currently as a barber which gives me the flexibility to enjoy daily walks and cuddles with your furry friends. I come from a loving family who has always had a soft spot for dogs in our lives. There isn't a day I can't remember not having a pup. I reallly hope that I can look after your pup for you! I can guarantee you that your puppy is in great hands! I currently work part time and have more then enough time to watch and love on your animals. I have been doing so for the past 10 years and would love to help your loved one feel cozy when you are away! I have a fenced in patio, a close by dog park, and huge water bowls. If you would like your dog crated please provide a crate!

We are writing to enthusiastically recommend Sarah Owens as a dog sitter. She has been our trusted go-to for pet sitting for over four years, caring for our dogs with remarkable kindness, dependability, and attentiveness. From the very beginning, Sarah impressed us with how responsive and responsible she was. We felt completely comfortable entrusting her not only with a key to our home but, more importantly, with the care and well-being of our beloved pups. She always treated them like family-providing not just the essentials, but also plenty of affection, exercise, and thoughtful attention to their unique needs and quirks. Some of our dogs have required extra care due to age-related needs, medications, and specific diets. Sarah handled all of this with patience and skill, ensuring their physical and medical needs were met with care and consistency. She is incredibly thoughtful and treated our animals as if they were her own. It's clear that Sarah genuinely loves animals, and it shows in the way our dogs light up every time she walks through the door. Thanks to her reliable and caring presence, we've always been able to travel with peace of mind, knowing our pets were in the best hands. If you're looking for someone trustworthy, warm, and highly capable to care for your furry family members, we can't recommend Sarah highly enough. Sincerely, Michael and Sarah Gibbons

I am writing to offer my enthusiastic recommendation for Anthony as a pet sitter with Rover. I have had the pleasure of knowing Anthony for many years and can confidently say that he is one of the most responsible, compassionate, and trustworthy individuals I know—especially when it comes to caring for animals. Anthony has a natural affinity with pets and approaches each animal with patience, kindness, and attentiveness. Whether it's walking dogs, administering medications, or simply providing companionship, he consistently goes above and beyond to ensure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved. His attention to detail and commitment to following pet care instructions exactly as provided make him an excellent choice for any pet owner seeking peace of mind while away. In addition to his strong work ethic and reliability, Anthony is also highly communicative, regularly providing updates and photos to pet parents, which I know is greatly appreciated from myself. His calm and confident demeanor helps animals feel at ease, even those with anxiety or special needs. I am confident that Anthony will make a fantastic addition to the Rover community. Any family or individual would be lucky to have him care for their beloved pets.

My husband and I met Jenna while she was taking care of our friends children and we love our dogs as if they were our kids! We have two older small dogs and always know they will be well taken care of while we are gone, rather it be a quick weekend or an extended trip. When we arrive home our dogs are in good spirits and our house is well taken care of! We highly recommend Jenna and are confident you will be happy with her care!

Joshua went above and beyond while watching our boys. He cared for our boys very well, administered eye drops, and provided us daily updates and videos. Joshua did an excellent job cleaning up as well, and left everything better than we left it!
