Jenni is amazing! One of our kitties is a little scared around new people and Jenni has been so patient in winning her trust. Both our kitties love Jenni and we love that Jenni takes such great care of our fur babies. Thanks Jenni!!

We had a great experience with Nezuko’s sitter and highly recommend them! They were reliable, attentive, and very caring throughout the visit. Nezuko was well taken care of, happy, and comfortable, which gave me a lot of peace of mind while I was away. Communication was excellent, and the updates and photos were really appreciated. It’s clear they genuinely care about the pets they look after.

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I can remember. From house sitting, to walking them, to even taking care of my own dog. I’ve worked with different breeds and ages, and I love them all! I stay at home mostly throughout the week, and I’ve been wanting to get out a couple of times, and this would be the perfect opportunity to take care of your dogs in walking, or dropping by to play! I live in an apartment complex, so I would have to go to where you are to walk/play with your dog, or I could take them to a dog park!

Medha was great with both of my cats (kitten and adult)! They were both super picky with eating at their scheduled times and she made sure she did her best to make them both eat and kept in touch with her on how they were doing. I felt very comfortable while away knowing they were taken care of and being played with. Would highly recommend.

Catherine was patient and took her time to gain the trust of my two elder cats. One of my cats requires an inhaler daily and Catherine was successful in coaxing her to accept the inhaler from her. We will use Catherine's cat sitting services again for an upcoming vacation.

About: I’ve been taking care of neighborhood and family pets since I was a teenager. I’m very flexible and love to work with you to ensure you get the best care for your animals. I work as a substitute teacher and have a very flexible schedule. With enough notice, I can schedule half days or days off in the week to ensure your pet get’s more of my time. I can also work walks into my schedule before and after the school day and am fully available on weekends. I have roommates, so boarding animals might not be an option. I can always ask, though. I am comfortable staying in the pet’s home if it makes them more comfortable.

Marion was so generous while checking on our cats during the holidays. She gave them extra love and attention above and beyond what we expected! We came home to very happy cats that were almost disappointed it was us walking in the door rather than her! Thank you so much, Marion!!

About: I’ve pet-sat for both dogs and cats over the last four years. I have been the primary cat-sitter for a nervous, diabetic cat for four years. I recently finished high school and as a result have a lot of free time to fill with caring for animals! I am happy to make time to care for your pet in the morning, afternoon, or evening throughout the week. I will first take care of your pet’s needs by providing food and water, walking, or cleaning the litter box. Then I will pet and play with your pet, or sit quietly on the floor until they are comfortable enough to come meet me.

Krystian is a really great sitter. Very responsive throughout his care of my pets and sent pictures during his check in’s. My dog and cat were very happy with the attention they received while my boyfriend and I were on vacation. Krystian also made sure to spend time petting and playing with them in addition to walks and feeding time. I would recommend Krystian to anyone, he is a really nice and trust-worthy person.

About: Hi, I have taken care of many dogs age ranging from a few months to 14 years old and find them all equally adorable. While I have been told that I speak dog - by some folks -I am personally- not so sure about that. But I like to think that most dogs love my tone when I talk with them . I have a lot of experience with both senior dogs and young energetic ones thanks to my own pets, my family's pets, and my volunteer experience with the local humane society. Happy to give you more information on those if you are interested. I don't have a car but have a bike and stay very close to the red line. Looking forward to taking care of your pets. I work from home and can organize my schedule to fit your pet walking needs. I love getting out in the winter and happy to get your dog the exercise it needs. I have experience with senior dogs and reactive pets and can cater to their needs. I will make sure that they feel safe and protected.

About: I have been caring for all kinds of pets growing up and loved it ever since. I have experience caring for blind elderly cats, old dogs who need extra love, precious leopard geckos and everything in between. I care for any pet as if it was one my own 3 cats :). My schedule is very open because I am currently in between jobs, but I'll always make time for pet care if needed. Odd times or schedules are always welcome. I care for our cats in our house by making sure they're comfortable and have lots of enrichment to keep them occupied and entertained. Keeping things tidy so no kitty gets into something they're not supposed to get into is a habit I take everywhere.

Dymond was amazing! She accepted our request at the last minute and really helped us out with our dog. She was super communicative and sent lots of pictures and videos. In the past when we’ve left our dog with a sitter she’d act nervous and scared when we returned home. This time with Dymond though, our dog was happy and calm when we came back. We can tell she got a lot of exercise and had fun! We will definitely use her again and highly recommend her to others for your pet sitting needs!

Arian filled in last minute for a Rover sitter who never showed up. She was professional and reassuringly consistent. She communicated everyday and, when she had questions. She also sent pictures that let me know our older, finicky cats were in capable, caring hands. I would hire her again in a hot minute.

About: Hello! My name is Yu Min. I have a Golden Retriever named COCO and 10+ years of experience with pets. I’ve always grown up with a variety of animals whether it be dogs, cats, rabbits, etc.! My love for taking care of pets led me to become a sitter on Rover. I understand each pet has their own needs. I'll be happy to do whatever I can to accommodate you and your pet. I prefer to spend as much time as I can with the animals that are in my care. Your mind can rest easy knowing your fur babies will be pampered and spoiled while you are away. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me. I am excited to meet you and your pet!

Ana took great care of our 13 year old Sheltie and our cat. It was a pleasure to meet with her and from the moment they met Ana, our pets took a liking to her and felt comfortable. She kept us up to date with daily messages and was very responsive and trustworthy. We highly recommend Ana and will certainly like to use her petcare services again in the near future.

Jenny asked insightful questions and easily connected with Milo, our Havanese. He responded well to her directions and when off leash did zoomies around her which is a good sign. I am very pleased to have such a warm professional as a sitter.

Jessica was fabulous. She gave regular updates and pictures on her visits. We were nervous as this was our first experience with a sitter. She asked all the right questions to put us at ease. She was very flexible as our two dogs have very different needs. It was evident from the beginning that she adores dogs. Communication was great. Would not hesitate to have Jessica sit again for us.
