“Anne is five stars all the way!!! We love her reports, which are both detailed and entertaining. She takes great care of our kitties and gives us peace of mind when we travel. Can’t recommend Anne enough.”
“Brooke is amazing and always delivers such sweet care to my kitty! She had even gone above and beyond by being gracious enough to bring a package inside if she sees one on the porch! 10/10 recommend!”
“Emma was fantastic with our pets! She handled drop-in visits for our two dogs and one cat while my partner and I were out of town, and we couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. She was always on time, super communicative, and clearly very caring with all three of them. We really appreciated the updates and the peace of mind knowing our pets were in great hands. We’ll absolutely be booking Emma again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, thoughtful pet sitter!”
“Britany was wonderful. She was available very last minute and took good care of our 3 cats and was even willing to feed a community cat that shows up. We would hire her again if needed.”
“Rachael was a breeze to coordinate with and clearly cared for my pups like they were her own. She kept me updated throughout, which gave me great peace of mind. Highly recommend!”
“My girls were safe and well taken care of while I was out of town. It’s such a relief to know that they were in the best of hands! Would recommend booking Bradley 100%!”
About: Hi, I’m Kyri! I’m a lifelong dog lover who knows every pup has their own personality, quirks, and favorite belly rub spot. Whether it’s long walks, cozy cuddle time, or keeping up with special routines, I make sure your dog feels loved and cared for while you’re away. I have experience with dogs of all sizes and temperaments, and I’m happy to send photo updates so you can see their tail wags in real time. My goal is to give your best friend the same care and attention I give my own 😊 so you can enjoy peace of mind knowing they’re safe, happy, and having fun. I can comfortably board 5 dogs at once (depending on size.) Please check out my availability 😁 I ask that all pet parents please stick closely to their drop off and pick up times. Bookings can be modified to accommodate any changes. I work full-time as a CNC machinist on first shift (Monday–Friday, 7:00 am–3:30 pm), which allows me to provide pet care in the evenings and overnight. During the day, I can accommodate pets who are comfortable being crated for up to 8 hours, and I’m also happy to leave pets uncaged if they are well-behaved and safe in the home. After work, I’m available for walks, playtime, and lots of attention to make sure your pet feels loved and cared for. When caring for pets in my home, I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved ❤️ with plenty of playtime in my fenced yard, walks to the nearby park, and lots of cuddles. I stick closely to each pet’s normal routine, including feeding schedules, medications, and any special care instructions, so they feel right at home. When I care for pets in a client’s home, I treat their space with the same respect I would my own, making sure pets are well-fed, exercised, and given attention while also keeping the home secure and tidy. In either setting, my goal is to provide a stress-free, happy experience for both pets and their people.
“Sara has been great with my corgi, Cersei! She is always on time and has been incredibly flexible with my schedule. She is also very considerate with Cersei and accommodating to her needs for the past few months and Cersei loves her. She will continue to be my go-to whenever I need someone to help with Cersei.”
“Shaelyn is awesome! So thankful for how she cared for my kitties while I was away- I was slow to message and she read my mind with some of the things I forgot to mention ahead of time (e.g. adding extra litter to the litter box). Reliable and 100% will book again!!”
“Monroe is so kind and communicative! She always shares a detailed message with us and sends the best photos :) she takes the time to hang out with our cats on her visits, which means the world to us, and our kitties!”
“Valerie was absolutely wonderful!!! She FAR exceeded my expectations! She responded to my request within an hour and had excellent communication with me the entire time. My son is out of town and she went to his apartment to check on his cat, Luna. Luna is extremely shy and rarely comes out for anyone — she barely comes out for me — but Valerie was so patient and gentle with her. She stayed with Luna, sent me photos and updates, and even cleaned out a very unpleasant litter box that I truly didn’t expect anyone to deal with. That alone meant so much. You can immediately tell she has a genuine love for animals and such a kind, caring soul❤️. Valerie is recently retired and clearly does this because she truly loves animals, and it shows in the level of care she gives. I cannot say enough good things about her!! I will absolutely be using her again and again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, communicative, and incredibly kind with their pets. 🐾❤️❤️❤️”
“Haley was great with our very old cat. The cat is spicy to strangers and needs pills so she’s not the easiest customer but Haley handled well and was very communicative every day. Would definitely rebook!”
About: My family has had a variety of pets over the years especially when my daughter was younger: turtle, fish, guinea pigs, cats, and dogs. I currently have one small dog of my own: a female maltipoo named Daisy. I've taken care of many of our friends pups of all sizes both in our house and theirs. I walk/run my dogs in our neighborhood. Would love to take care of your fur baby for you! Very reliable and trustworthy! I know being away can cause anxiety for your pets and I'll do my best to make them comfortable. Okay with giving medications if necessary. I'm here for you and your pets! I work remotely full time. I let them out as needed in my home or in yours. I get a normal routine of your dog’s schedule and keep it the same. I have done weekends in people’s home. Most services have been in mine. I have a big backyard so it’s easy to let them out.
“Hi Brooke, you did a wonderful job! We got back from our long trip a couple days ago and we appreciate all of your hard work! The kitties were very happy! Also, thank you for putting the trash containers behind the house and for filling the cat food in the outside cat house. We had forgot to tell you that we put the plants elsewhere and not to worry about watering them, sorry about forgetting to tell you! And we'll give you the wifi password during our next trip, if you wish to keep doing the job during our future trips. Great job, we are very grateful. I hope you had a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!”
About: I have a great deal of passion for training dogs and horses. I've loved and cared for a multitude of different species, including a sheep! My routine is to come home, have some dinner, and then feed/play with my dog and cats. I'd love to spend time with more pets! It's imperative to me that petsitters understand individual pet body language & communicate with pet parents to ensure that every pet feels secure & comfortable.
About: I’ve been around animals all my life and I feel grateful for it. For years, I’ve been trusted to watch and take care of family and friends’ pets (babies)! I am a college student with classes mid morning. MWF I have 10-11 and TTh 9:30-12:15 so I’m pretty available. I want to be a comfortable / trusted person with your pets and also getting a dose of furry friends while I’m away at school. I can meet whatever needs makes you and your pets comfortable. If there are any specifics of care your pets require, I want to help.
“This is our third or fourth time booking with Sierra. We absolutely adore her! She was flexible with our schedule due to the snow storm and continues to show the utmost compassion & patience for our four kitties (one of them has cancer and needs meds daily). It’s difficult for us to go anywhere without constantly worrying about our cats, but we trust Sierra. Every time we have come home from our trip, they are all as happy and healthy as when we left.”
“Erin is a Punctual ,Comunicative person.She was carefully listening to what needs to be done. My dog enjoyed her time with her. When Erin left the house my dog was behind the door crying for a while. They had a good time. The picture she took from my dog isabsolute beauty whch shows she cares for what she is doung not just a simple picture and my furry baby has her besutiful smile showing that she has ultimate happiness. Thank you Erin.Cannot wait to have you again.”
Riverdale pet parents share their Rover experiences
Brooke is amazing! Accepted my last-minute booking and arranged a meet & greet beforehand. Delta loved her right away & Brooke was very patient with her high energy jumping and affection! I felt totally comfortable leaving Delta in her care for a midday potty break while I had a very long day at work. Loved getting photos during her visit. Will absolutely book again if the need arrises!
Berke was great with our pets. We had a last minute rover change and he was so quick and willing to help watch over our boys. There were plenty of updates in both messages and photos, lots of fast communication, and he took care of my dog that needed medication. I would highly recommend him and will be happy to have him as a sitter again.
Great experience and we truly appreciated Yolena taking care of our 3 cats on such short notice! She gave great updates with photos, which put our mind at ease while we were away. She was extremely kind and followed instructions on the care we needed for each cat, and was very responsive if we had any concerns. Came home to happy cats and the house just as we had left it! Would absolutely recommend this sitter!
Sara has been great with my corgi, Cersei! She is always on time and has been incredibly flexible with my schedule. She is also very considerate with Cersei and accommodating to her needs for the past few months and Cersei loves her. She will continue to be my go-to whenever I need someone to help with Cersei.
This was our second time booking with Mercy. She’s extremely communicative and always makes sure we know what’s going on with our boys while we are away. She gives detailed visit notes and gives us pictures. She also blows us away every time by going over and above by sweeping/mopping after the dogs, taking out the trash, and even picking up around the house while she’s there. Absolutely the best sitter we’ve ever used, and will continue to be repeat customers.
Ella was wonderful to work with! She came wa h day and spent time with our indoor/outdoor cat, giving him the choice of where he wanted to be and making sure he had everything he needed. From the pictures I received, he played, he was loved on and he ate well. We couldn’t ask for anything more. We will be having Ella watch him again in the future.
