“Mariya was great! She was communicative and sent pictures throughout her visit with my dog. She also asked additional questions to make sure all needs were met. Thanks so much Mariya!”
“Kaitlyn was amazing. She sent updates and several pictures for every visit, her notes were always very detailed and she was very communicative with us about our dog. 100% recommend her.”
“Rachel and Wesley were absolute lifesavers when we had to unexpectedly be out of town overnight. We booked them at the very last minute, and they stepped right in to let our boys out a couple of times while we were gone. They sent great photos, thoughtful updates, and communicated quickly and clearly the whole time. Very kind and professional. We’ll definitely be booking with them again!”
About: I grew up with big dogs but have had cats since graduating high school ~8 years ago. I’ve fostered newborn kittens, cared for cats with severe anxiety, and for an elderly cat with dubious health history. Outside of pet care, I’m also a social work student. I’m a full-time student, but most of my classes found up being online this semester, so I have plenty of flexibility most days of the week. There’s a small window on Mondays & Wednesdays where I’m unavaliable. I seek to match a given animal’s energy level. A little skitish? I’ll come to them as they’re comfortable and respect their space while keeping an eye out. Begging for a new best friend? I’m putting in the cardio during playtime.
“Alexis was able to come check on our cat last-minute when we couldn’t find anyone else. She went above & beyond and we would happily work with her again in the future.”
“We are so happy to have met Abby! We can see how comfortable Addie is with her and enjoys her visits. Abby loves animals and goes above and beyond to make them happy. It’s great to have that peace of mind! Thank you!”
“Kimberly was an awesome pet sitter and we will certainly use her again. My kitties are older and so it is important that we use a sitter who will closely monitor them to make sure they are doing well while we are away. Kimberly took great care of our three cats and spent time interacting and playing with them on visits, which was important to me. Her communication after the visits was excellent. Thank you Kimberly!”
“Emily is simply amazing, she exceeded our expectations by far. She was prompt, thorough and very attentive in her check ins with my cat. Will definitely be a repeat customer of hers.”
“Quinn was the most thoughtful pet sitter we’ve ever had. Our cat isn’t a fan of most people but she took to Quinn so quickly and seemed so happy while we were gone. I will definitely be using them again in the near future!”
“Khalia took care of our two cats while we were away, and we are very happy to have left our little guys in her care. She sent us pictures each time she went to fed/take care of them, and helped out with one of the cats' medication. It was great to know/feel they were in good hands!”
“Elizabeth was super reliable with twice-a-day visits, and so loving with Oliver! He loved her from the moment they met, and she executed all of his needs (food, vitamins/meds, treats, potty breaks -- everything!) with total ease. She took a picture each time, and reported any concerns right away. Elizabeth truly went above and beyond. I could not recommend her more highly!”
“I cannot recommend Jessica highly enough for anyone looking for excellent care for their critters. She truly went above and beyond during her visits, more than just feeding and litter. Her updates were detailed, the photos were so cute, and she took the time to understand my cats’ personalities and made sure they felt comfortable and loved while I was away. I returned home to relaxed, happy pets and a perfectly kept house. Her professionalism and genuine affection for animals are amazing. Thank you for taking care of the monsters while I was away, Jessica! 🙂”
“I can't say enough good things about Samantha! She was absolutely incredible with my two kitties. Samantha arrived at reasonable times twice a day to feed them while I was away, and her attention to detail was impressive. She listened to all my instructions carefully, ensuring my fur babies were well taken care of. It was clear that the kitties loved her! I would give her a 10/10 and highly recommend her to anyone in need of a cat/pet sitter!”
“Kelsey is the best!! Not only did she take great care of our cat (and our home), those two became best friends forever right away! Kelsey is super consistent with her visits, sent tons of pictures and videos and was always quick to communicate. We just got home and have already booked Kelsey again... We could not be more happy to have Kelsey's care and support while we're away from home.”
“Emily was fantastic. She really cared for my cats, Landon and Lexi. I can tell that they were really well taken care of during my time away. I will absolutely be using Emily’s services on another trip in the future. She provided very detailed updates on a daily basis and played with them during her time with them.”
“Carina did amazing with our sweet babies, this is the first time using the Rover app and we couldn’t be more pleased! We loved Carina’s updates, photos and her ability to make our animals feel safe and secure!”
About: I've lived with pets my whole life and have found a passion for caring for animals with the same love you have for them! I specialize in cats of all ages and dogs over the age of one. I've had about 5 years of experience in working with anxious dogs who are scared of everything - very used to taking a long time to grt scaredy dogs outside. With that, I'm very experienced in delivering medications or cleaning up messes. I understand how stressed our fur babies feel when we need to leave them and my main goal is to make them as comfortable as absolutely possible. I work full time Monday-Friday but do have some work from home days during the week. I would be more than happy to visit your home during the day for walks or quick take outs! I am also happy to come visit you and your fur babies at anytime to get a better idea of your schedule. I am working on getting Fear Free certified and would be more than happy to provide that certification once acquired. I would be happy to crate your pets if needed. I'll send plenty of photos and updates throughout my visit!
Riverlea cat parents share their Rover experiences
Angela truly goes out of her way to be the very best possible cat sitter! One of my cats has some health concerns, and Angela always keeps a very close eye on her, even going out of her way to pick up medicine for my cat, as she had gotten worse while I was out of town. It is such a relief to have someone like her to watch my cats while I am out of town!!
Haleigh came everyday at the exact time she said she would be there. She did a pre-visit to meet them and was easy to get in contact with while I was gone. She would send me pictures and updates. She also took in a few packages that had arrived at my house. I know my kitties loved her! I would recommend her.
We had so much peace of mind while being away knowing Valarie was checking on our 3 cats. She had great communication before and during the visit and sent lots of pictures! Valarie gave medicine daily to our big boy, she had our sweet nervous girl out of hiding and looking for belly rubs every day, and even our sassy calico warmed up to her!
Alex is amazing! She took great care of our two kitties and also looked after my fish. As always, she provided lots of cute pics and updates. There was a mysterious alarm going off during one of her visits and she quickly figured out the source of the alarm, reset the sensor, and made sure everything was good! I can't speak more highly of Alex, she is truly wonderful!
Audrey is an amazing Rover sitter! She always responds quickly, is consistently available, and goes above and beyond in the care she provides. Coco loves her, and I always feel comfortable knowing she is in good hands. Highly recommend Audrey if you’re looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter!
As always, Kelsey did an outstanding job with my kitties checking in on both of them twice a day administering oral meds to my one kitty that has seizures. It is such a relief when traveling, knowing they are being taken care of so well. thank you again Kelsey for wonderful service!
Savannah did a wonderful job cat-sitting Emby. She left almost a paragraph of details after each visit and my cats food habits as I’m trying out a new diet. She always sent four photos or more. It made me feel better about being away, knowing he was ok. Savannah is the best sitter in the game!
Quinn is great with my cats! Including my extremely shy kitty that likes to hide. Quinn is great with approaching cats at their speed and letting them acclimate, apart from Quinn’s clear aptitude with cats they’re also great with checking everything off the list for keeping track of litter, dispensing more kibble, and topping off their water bowls. I highly recommend Quinn.
As always, Molly is amazing!! She truly is an animal lover and loves my monsters, I mean my furbabies lol. 😹 😹 She takes her time actually get to know them and spends quality time with them as if they are her own and writes a thoughtful notes. I’m pretty sure my spoiled babies are extra spoiled thanks to her! Again, thank you so much for taking care of them. We truly appreciate you. 😻😻
