“Kathleen has been phenomenal. Shes reliable, responsible, and trustworthy. She’s also been extremely helpful beyond checking in on him - we are so thankful for her help.”
“Jayd & Ecko are great sitters!! They take wonderful care of our three cats and are always punctual and reliable. We know our little babies are in good hands with them 😁”
“Shania did a great job. She sent photos and videos. My cats loved the attention they received. When I arrived home the litter boxes were clean and the floor swept. Their food dishes were full. Would recommend.”
“Aubrey took care of my 5 year old kitty while I was away on travel for ten days. She put fresh food and water out, cleaned the litter box and even brought the mail in during my absence. She provided me with status and photos every day after her visits, and I had zero complaints upon return.”
“Courtney and John treated our cats like one of their own and when we came back we can tell the cats were happy and well cared for. We received wonderful updates and great pictures, which confirmed that our fur babies were in good hands. We’d have Courtney and John watch over our boys again!”
“Candance is super sweet and took awesome care of all 4 of my bunnies! She leaves good notes and pictures for each drop-in-visit and because of that, I didn't worry about anything as they were in good hands!”
“Shannon and her family were so amazing to work with. As a first time Rover user she made me feel safe leaving my kitties with her. She was easy to connect with, personable and sent me updates often. Highly recommend Shannon and will be continually using her services!”
“We had the good fortune that Kerry was available to housesit for us over New Year's. Kerry was so professional - he sent a reminder the day before the Meet & Greet, took notes and asked questions during the Meet & Greet (giving me the confidence that he would remember important instructions), and provided updates during his stay. The house was in great shape when we returned and Buddy, our cat, was happy and healthy.”
“She was prompt and very gentle with Fisher. She fed and even cleaned out his litter box. I'm definitely going to go to Emma to look after Fisher whenever I have to stay late for work”
“Makayla was wonderful at taking care of my 2 cats while we were gone. I was so nervous to leave them for so long ( first time I was ever away from them for more than a day), and she made me feel at ease. I appreciated the photos and updates. She was so quick to respond to every message and was just overall great to work with! We will be using her again in the future.”
“Danii is a rockstar! She did drop in visits on my 2 pups while we were on vacation. She was absolutely amazing and we will for sure use her for all future needs. I loved that she communicated well and took lots of pictures. I highly recommend her for taking care of your pups as well!”
“Crowe & Taylor were excellent! They took time to meet my pet before their initial booking, as well as went out of their way to check on him when it wasn’t expected. I could not have found better pet sitters for my baby! Highly recommend to anyone- great people!”
“Laura was a fantastic sitter for our cat and bunny. She dealt with my over communication and calmed my nerves about leaving the pets by returning that communication back to me throughout my trip. I will absolutely be booking with her again in the future!”
Riverdale cat parents share their Rover experiences
Our first experience with Rover and it could not have gone any better! Aubrey was the perfect fit for us as our anxiety was a bit high with leaving our cat alone for an extended period of time. We were so comfortable with our experience with Aubrey that we are already planning another trip. THANK YOU!!
Excellent! Took care of my baby twice a day and sent me cute pictures of her. She even contacted me when there was a problem with the lock on my door. She took quick action and was definitely on top of everything. I'll be asking Liz to pet sit again for sure!
We couldn’t have asked for better pet sitters! While we were on vacation, they took amazing care of our two dogs and cat, sending us lots of pictures every visit and keeping us updated daily so we always knew how everyone was doing. They went above and beyond, even vacuuming up pet messes and making sure our home stayed tidy. Knowing our pets were in such loving, capable hands gave us complete peace of mind the whole time we were away. We can’t thank them enough and would trust them anytime to watch our pets. Highly recommend!
