“Ellie was great! She communicated very effectively and made sure I had a peace of mind with my fur babies by updating me regularly. We will be booking with her in the future!”

“Carolina was wonderful! She took great care of Levi and even made sure our cat had food and attention. She exceeded our expectations! We will work with her more and highly recommend her.”

“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!”

“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!”

“We requested a little check up with Natalie last minute and she replied very quick! We are so thankful she was able to check up and feed our cat and do other things for her like refill her water and scoop out her litter box while we were out of town! I definitely recommend her.”

“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.”

“What a great team Vanessa and Gilberto are. Both of our cats are so much better adjusted to our absence than they were before we asked Vanessa and Gilberto to take care of them. It’s like we never left. They also take professional quality pictures of our cats.”

“Jose was very professional and took great care of my elderly cat while I had to leave town for a few days. He always was prompt with visits, and sent pics of the visit. He spent some time with her each day. I'd happily have him come and take care of my cat again!”
“Dani continues to be great! This was our third time rebooking her (many sessions at a time), and we already booked her out again for the next month. My wife and I know our pup is in the best hands with Dani's check-in visits when we both have long work-days. Our puppy absolutely loves her!”

“Abigail is great! She took a good care of my 3 cats & she was a good company to them. Even the shyest cat out of 3 came out to her. Abigail followed all of the instructions I gave and even went above and beyond to be extra helpful. I’m thankful! 🙏”

“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!”

“Quick to respond and a great communicator! Went above and beyond what I asked, staying the full 30 minutes. I could tell my dog was happy from the pictures I was sent. Highly recommend!”

“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.”

“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!”

“Courtney was great! She maintained us informed after her visit, and made sure our dogs were well taken care of! We'll definitely book with her again if we need a sitter!”

“Emma took such great care of Finny while I was in Miami! It gave me so much peace of mind knowing he was in good hands while I was away. She was reliable, attentive, and clearly cared about making sure he was happy and comfortable. I could tell Finny was well loved and cared for when I got back. I would absolutely trust Emma to watch him again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a wonderful dog sitter!”

River Oaks pet parents share their Rover experiences
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.

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.

Dara is an incredibly loving, kind, and wonderful person! She treats cats with the utmost care, showing amazing attention to detail and responding perfectly to their needs. She is truly a dedicated professional with a warm heart. I cannot recommend her highly enough to anyone looking for the best care for their fur babies!

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!

Aranza was super fast to respond to all of my questions with all the kindness and patience in the world, even when I requested a last minute booking! It was tremendous help and I could feel that she cared about the wellbeing of my dog as much as I did. Both of us were more than happy with the visit!

Repeat client of Michael’s here. My super shy cat, who generally only trusts myself and my husband, actually came out from under the bed to receive pets from Michael. I was shocked in the best way! Based on this and several positive experiences with Michael in the past, I highly redommend! Thank you so much, Michael!

Ashley is the absolutely best! She takes such great care of our 2 cats and senior dog while we are on vacation! She helps with the litter, feedings, and administering morning meds for our dog. We now pretty much exclusively reach out to Ashley any time we have an upcoming trip! Our pets LOVE her. Thank you for everything, Ashley!
