“Amazing pet sitter! I trusted her implicitly, she has a very kind, warm presence. I received picture and comments every day and had no doubts that my cat was well taken care of. 10/10 would recommend and will 100% have back!”
“Caitlin checks all the boxes. She’s so caring, compassionate, detail-oriented, punctual… truly the best pet sitter!! She goes above and beyond, and you can tell she genuinely loves animals. She treated my dog like her own, and when I got home, my dog seemed soooo happy, like she had made a new friend! My dog loves to be loved and give love, and it’s clear Caitlin made a real impact on her! My dog has allergies and Caitlin was able to give medication and massage an anti itch solution into her paws to make sure she was comfy. She did everything I asked for! Even when it came to my dog’s complicated diet haha. Really appreciate everything she did to make us feel at ease!”

River Run pet parents share their Rover experiences
Billi provided an exceptional experience caring for my two cats, Mimi and Pin-get, and I cannot recommend her highly enough. Mimi is my 9-year-old tuxedo cat and is normally very shy around new people, so I was amazed when she immediately felt comfortable with Billi during the meet and greet. That moment alone reassured me that Billi truly has a natural connection with animals. During each drop-in visit, Billi kept me consistently updated with photos and videos, which meant so much to me. Seeing Mimi happily sitting on her lap and watching both of my fur babies interacting comfortably with her made my heart smile and gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. Billi is professional, reliable, attentive, and genuinely caring. She clearly takes the time to ensure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Her communication and thoughtful updates made the entire experience stress-free. If you are looking for someone trustworthy who will care for your pets as if they were her own, I highly recommend Billi. I will absolutely be booking her again for future visits with Mimi and Pin-get.
This was my second time booking Hailey to watch my kitties and she was fantastic again! She’s very reliable, communicative, and clearly cares about the pets she watches. She kept me updated and made sure everything was taken care of. I came home and it was like I never even left. I’ll definitely continue booking her and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter.
Rachelle was a fantastic sitter for my cats! She was easy to contact and responded to messages in a timely manner. My kitties took to her immediately, and I was pleasantly surprised to see pictures of my normally shy babies sitting in her lap! She also left the cat bowls and litter boxes very clean, and even took out the trash without being asked. Leaving my cats under Rachelle's care gave me great piece of mind on my week-long trip, and I would highly recommend her. Thank you, Rachelle! :)
Estefania was an amazing pet sitter! She took wonderful care of our two cats and treated them as her own. She went above and beyond bringing in our packages, watering our plants and even took out our trash, which we really appreciated. We look forward to working with Estefania and her daughter Agustina in the future, would highly recommend!
I had a great experience with Mafalda for drop-in visits. She was reliable, punctual, and very communicative throughout the entire booking. I received consistent updates and photos after each visit, which really put my mind at ease. Duke was clearly well cared for and comfortable, and all instructions were followed perfectly. It’s obvious that Mafalda genuinely cares about animals and takes her responsibilities seriously. I would absolutely book her again for drop-ins and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable and caring sitter.
Dawn was fantastic!! So easy to communicate with, very friendly and upfront, and absolutely knows what she’s doing. I’ve never seen my cat warm up to a sitter faster than with Dawn - she usually hides the whole time! - I received so many fantastic photos of my girl during her drop in visits. Would absolutely recommend!
Laura minded our two bulldogs while we were away for a long weekend. She was punctual (like clockwork!) and our dogs got spoiled to lots of walks and outdoor time. She kept us informed and when we came back, we found the dogs just fine, they barely missed us! Thank you, Laura!
Caitlin is wonderful! I just rescued my dog from the treats, so there has been a lot of experimenting with finding the best routine. Caitlin has been incredibly flexible and gives Emma the absolute best care and love. I completely trust her and feel comfortable going to work knowing that Caitlin will let her out. I will definitely keep booking her!
Marti did an AMAZING job taking care of my cats (as well as a local stray). I greatly appreciated every message, update, and photo and the thoughtful details included; my cats were clearly happy and well cared for. I would highly recommend Marti to anyone looking for a kind, reliable, and genuinely caring cat sitter! Thank you Marti!!
We had such a great experience with Morgan! She took wonderful care of our two cats and left them well-fed, happy, and looking handsome and polished. Morgan was very thoughtful about cleaning up after them and keeping everything tidy, which we really appreciated. The regular updates and visit recaps gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. You can tell she genuinely cares about the pets she looks after. We would absolutely use Morgan again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and attentive pet sitter!
