“Ed was exactly who we were looking for! We have 2 large dogs that can be a lot to handle, and Ed handled it perfectly. He followed our instructions exactly as we asked. We also loved the updates throughout! I would highly recommend him.”
“This was our second time having Emilee check in on our cat, Archie, while we were out of town. She took great care of him and even brought in some packages that were delivered while we were away. We really appreciate her photo updates as well.”
“Danielle was excellent with our pups. She followed our instructions well, and her kind and calm demeanor went a long way with our older, somewhat neurotic dogs. Will definitely be using her again and would recommend to others as well!”
About: I’ve owned many dogs over my lifetime. From a Min Pin to Collies, Retrievers and Pointers. I have taken care of friends and relatives animals while they were out of town. I have done long time sits (several weeks) to daily drop ins. I’m retired so I have lots of time to care for your pets. I love taking walks and getting to know each animal whether it’s to come hang out and play, feed etc or take for long or short walks. I don’t have any dogs or cats living with me now due to my landlord not allowing pet ownership. They don’t mind if I bring a dog here for short periods.
About: I have been taking care of friends, family members animals for over 2 years now while attending college. I love giving care to their furry friends while they are away. Having animals myself I understand the need to have a trustworthy caretaker while away! I look forward to become your pets new friend! I currently work 30/32 hours a week usually during the early mornings or mid afternoons. I have usually offered early morning walks or evening walks to those in need! I am able to do overnights as well, but always check to make sure the animals will be okay while I work! I have always tried to take care of the pets in the exact way the client has asked. I am able to sit in during meals, stay to get energy out, or even squirrel watch! I always try to make the animals stay in the routine that they have known!
“Our pup was in good hands with Rhiana! She sent photos during the drop ins and we received a nice review card. Appreciate her help and will definitely request her again.”
“Miriah took great care of my 2 cats despite the fact it was snowing and difficult to drive to my during the snow storm. I will definitely be requesting Miriah again in the future.”
“My dog had such a great time with Bertie while I was on vacation, she probably didn’t even notice I was gone. Seeing the pictures of their day together made me happy and I will rebook in the future!”
“Karlee is a great sitter! She’s super friendly and responsive to visits. She’s done a great job at doing house visits for my puppy to tire him out and keep him engaged when I’m busy. Would definitely recommend!”
“Megan has been amazing. My cats connected with her very well. Even my older cat who is standoffish with strangers sat on her lap. She came to my rescue when I needed her for another day and I appreciate her so much!”
“Danielle was fantastic with my shy older kitty! This was the first time I'd left her at home for more than one night, and I was nervous about how she'd react. Even though she usually hides from strangers, my cat was coming out and greeting Danielle at every visit, and she was perfectly happy when I got home. I would absolutely book with Danielle again!”
“Lindsay is honest, communicative, reliable, and so wonderful with our two high energy dogs. Each weekend, she confirms with us which days she is able to let our dogs out, and has been so flexible with our chaotic schedule. Clearly Lindsay is great with dogs— even our shy pup quickly warmed up to her as we saw in her check-in photos. We are very grateful to have her as our walker and cannot recommend her enough!”
“Mitch was very communicative and on point with drop in visits for my cat Comet. She can take some time to acclimate to new people and she warmed up to him pretty quickly! Would happily book with Mitch again.”
“Emily was wonderful with my cat Pippa! She sent great detailed updates from her visits and shared lots of cute photos of her playing with my cat. I would definitely book her again in the future. 😸”
About: I have taken care of many dogs and love to bond with them. Family and friends have let me pet sit for years and who doesn’t love hanging out with a cute dog. I am currently a part time student and in my off I go on walks and play with my own dog at home. I also go to dog parks to play with my two dogs. I will keep eyes on your pets and play with them and get their energy out. I will also make sure your pet has a new best friend.
“Amy was quick to respond and was available when I made my request at the last minute. This is the second time Amy has watched my cats and I will happily ask her to cat sit again.”
“Natalie is an excellent pet sitter. She has taken exceptional care of our kitty over the last few months, including this booking. Not a worry at all when our kitty is in her care. Will not hesitate to book again!”
“Sam was amazing with our Chaos. She was so patient in getting to know him and sat for us for a week and now he loves her!!! Definitely will book again ❤️”
Rio cat parents share their Rover experiences
Will definitely REBOOK in the future. She was AMAZING while taking care of my cat and making sure my plants were watered while I was gone. She took cute pictures of him, PLAYED with him, REFILLED his WATER and FOOD bowl everyday. She also gave my cat TREATS and LOTS OF SNUGGLES. Our cat loves her and we do too!
Laura was fantastic! She sent detailed updates and adorable pictures of our two cats every day. She was attentive and responsive, clearly showing her love for cats. She even set up treat puzzles, which were beyond our requests. I highly recommend her to anyone and will definitely book her again!
She was amazing! She was so caring and thoughtful when taking care of our animals. We gave detailed instructions and she not only followed them but made sure to reach out if any questions arose. She was sending us updates regularly with photos. Overall wonderful experience I would recommend her to anyone and felt truly at ease trusting her with my animals.
Rachel was so prompt and responsive! She really helped us out when our pet care fell through last minute. Knowing we could rely on her to take great care of our two cats while we were away made it possible to enjoy our trip without anxiety. We will definitely be returning clients in the future!
