“2nd time that Ed is taking care of our cat and once again, we couldn't be happier. Ed is amazing taking care of our cat, also he is always willing to help out for anything else while we are away. 100% recommend and will use Ed's services again in the future, THANK YOU Ed!”


“Another great experience with Rhiana! Thank you for taking care of our pup and notifying us when he was having some trouble eating. We appreciate your updates and know he’s in good hands with you!”


“Charlie can be an extra handful being the tiny grumpy old man that he is but Caroline handled him with ease. He really liked her and she sent fantastic updates and pictures and I would trust her with him anytime.”


“Danielle has been so awesome with our dog who is shy and takes a little time to warm up to new people! She is so responsive and has been great to work with! I feel very comforted knowing our dog is in her good hands while we’re away. Thank you, Danielle!!!!”


“Makenna was great! She was even able to go out of her way and meet with us on a very short notice ahead of time. All of our animals absolutely love her. Makenna is one of the best pet sitters we have had and we will definitely be asking her to help in the future!”


“Josephine is excellent, very reliable and caring. She sent me detailed reports and photos every day, so I could relax knowing my dog and cat were in good hands while I was away.”


“Bailey did a great job with our boys! She arrived on time and spent time loving on our boys. We even added a last minute request to bring in some mail that needed to be refrigerated. Great experience. Will definitely recommend and have her come back anytime”


“Kirtly was absolutely fabulous with letting our puppy ember out! Ember got all her energy out and was so happy when I got home every day. Will definitely use again!!”


“Sam was amazing with our Chaos. She was so patient in getting to know him and sat for us for a week and now he loves her!!! Definitely will book again ❤️”

“Emilee has made regular drop-in visits for my pup. She always gets my pup outside for a good work-off-some-energy session, and takes good care of her. Emilee also is reliable, punctual, and flexible; all great qualities in a sitter!”


“Doris is great! I am a nervous helicopter cat owner, but she is reliable and timely. She gives my girl lots of attention and sends me reassuring details so i can see how my monster is fairing while I’m away.”


“Amanda did an amazing job with our pets! Her professionalism, responsiveness, and attention to detail was top notch. We knew our pets were in good hands while the wife and I went on a weekend vacation. Amanda was able to give one of our senior dogs his insulin shots with no problem. All of the animals (two dogs and two cats) really enjoyed her care and company. HIGHLY recommend and we will book her again.”


“Christopher is everything you could want in a pet sitter! He doted on my dogs and kept them safe and happy. He was conscientious and reliable, and took great care of the house and all dog-related messes. Also great with communication and flexibility. I would happily work with him again!”


“Sarah was so great with my cat. She played with him and gave him lots of love while I was away. She sent me lots of pictures and a detailed message about her visit. I highly recommend her and will definitely be using her again!”


“Rachael was absolutely fantastic with our two furbabies (a small dog and cat). This is the first time we went away and had someone come over for drop-in’s vs. house stays, so naturally, we were a bit nervous (as any pet parent would be!) But from the second we met Rachael, and she met our pets, we knew our two orange boys were going to be in the absolute BEST hands. 🥹🧡🧡 We came home to two happy, well-loved pets, and no spiteful potty accidents from our cat. We always looked forward to the picture and text updates from Rachael too; her messages brightened our day, and you could tell she was so attentive to their needs and well-being while we were away. We already reached out to her for our upcoming trips, and know our boys will be so happy to see her! We are so glad we found her and are appreciative for the incredible pet care she provided. Highly recommend!!!”

Rose Hill pet parents share their Rover experiences
Samantha was great! She was very attentive to our three cats on her daily visit - even got to pet our severely shy one, Harriett. Her daily pictures and comments were a great comfort to us while we were away. I would definitely recommend her, and we will use her again for some of our upcoming trips!
