“Anders went above and beyond caring for Pippa during the power outage! I really appreciated the extra care for Pippa, going so far as to make an extra stop one day to see if the power had come back on, and hunting down my recycling bin which had blown into a neighbor's yard. I would definitely have Anders watch Pippa again!”
“I always feel comfortable leaving the cats in Nicole’s care when we go away! Thanks Nicole for being attentive, punctual, and great with our kitties.”
“As usual Erin did a wonderful job taking care of my kitties. She sends videos and photos so I know they are happy and eating well. They get all their mediation. I really appreciate all she does.”
“Carse was amazing and we will absolutely be using her again. She was communicative, prompt, followed up with us daily and kept us up to speed on everything that was happening while we were away. Our cat Doug can be a little spicy with new people and Carse was so good he looked more relaxed hanging with her than he does with us half the time. 5/5”
“Bri was an absolutely fantastic sitter! Would wholeheartedly both recommend her to other pet families and book her again in the future. Thank you for being such a delight!”
About: I have taken care of animals from dogs to cats to ferrets.I have grown up loving animals because my mom was raised on a farm. i have walked dogs on Wag for a while and I have heard about Rover and wanted to give it a try. I also walk dogs for people in my neighborhood and for family members. I currently work as a night shift nurse but in my free time I go for nature walks or work out, and I incorporate pets in my walks too! I have cats in my home so personally I would not bring pets into my home. I would care for them in others homes if the opportunity presented.
“This was my first time using Rover and was blown away by Crystal. The daily messages and pictures were everything to me, and she even left me a couple of framed pictures of my cats which were a delightful surprise. Crystal is wonderful, and I look forward to utilizing her again in the future!”
“Maryann loves animals and they know it! My cat is shy and very picky and I can't believe how comfortable she is with Maryann! I was away for over a week and didn't have to worry at all, will definitely book again. Thank you!!”
“Kathy was so attentive to our cats while we were out of town! Our guys are very shy and we’ve definitely had sitters in the past who didn’t see the cats the whole time we were gone but Kathy was able to coax them out and give them lots of exercise and attention.”
“Katarina took great care of our kitties while we went away for the weekend. From our first phone conversation, it was very clear how much she loves animals and it left us feeling reassured that our babies were in capable & loving hands. She sent us pivs of our babies and gave daily updates. Great work by an excellent pet sitter. We would not hesitate to use Katarina again!”
“Janice is a responsible pet sitter. She will check in and check out for a 30 minute visit. When I requested she say an hour and sit just to have a presence with my kitty she followed the request. I was very grateful for her presence with my cat Shiva. My neighbor used to come over when she lived here and bring a newspaper and just sit and be present for Shiva for an hour. I was grateful that Janice followed that request. I would recommend Janice as a pet sitter, for she is very receptive and open to communication. In any relationship, that’s what’s important. Thank you Janice for watching Shiva and being a responsible pet sitter. Grateful Joan and Shiva”
“As a helicopter kitty mom I could not have been more thrilled that I found Heath! Pickles & Peanut were so loved during their visits? Every day seeing them in pictures really made me so happy, especially the ones of them cuddled up to Heath ❤️”
“Jonathan was a lifesaver when prior a pet sitter canceled last minute, and in a way I’m happy it turned out that way! You can tell from the minute you meet him he genuinely cares for your animals like they are his own and makes every effort to show it. He even crocheted a blanket for our kitty! My husband and I never had to worry a day while we were on our vacation because we knew our cats were in great hands. We cannot begin to thank you enough!”

Emily did a terrific job. I have a very old and very ill cat who needs to be pilled daily. She says she didn't have trouble, which is good and gratifying for me. Emily sent me photos right after she visited and told me how the kitties behaved that day. I rarely leave my home, so I was very worried about leaving the fur babies. They were confident and fine when I returned. Thank you, Emily!!!
Nicole took excellent care of our cat Moe while we were away. She clearly understands his personality and needs, and they picked right up where they left off from her previous caretaking visit. We received daily updates with photos, which gave us peace of mind. Most importantly, Moe was happy and completely himself when we returned. I highly recommend Nicole - she did a fantastic job!
Crystal is an AMAZING cat-sitter — five stars honestly isn’t enough!! From the very beginning she was super quick to respond and so easy to communicate with. Every single day she sent the best detailed updates with photos, which made us feel completely at ease while we were away. She truly went above and beyond — not only did she manage our cat’s diabetic care perfectly (special food and insulin shots handled flawlessly!), but she even left us a framed photo of our cat. Who does that?! 🥹 When we got home, we could tell our cat genuinely missed Crystal — which says everything. We feel so lucky to have found her and would book her again in a heartbeat!
Marie was great! She took such good care of our kitties, even took the time to play with them. She’s really responsive, and kept us updated every day with news and photos. We felt so comfortable knowing our 3 cats were in capable and caring hands. I would recommend Marie without hesitation!
