“Yukie is AMAZING! I was able to truly enjoy my vacation for the first time in a long time! She made me feel super comfortable because I knew my kitties were well taken care of. A few reasons why Yukie is awesome: 1) always provides pictures and detailed rover cards after each visit 2) follows instructions throughly 3) she managed to make my VERY anxious cat trust her from the beginning. Usually she would not eat with strangers, but this time she never skipped a meal. I was so relieved! 4) I can tell she loves cats and treated my kitties as her own 5) she has great communication skills I could go on and on.. but all of this to say that I have never been more pleased with a sitter. I will book again ❤️❤️”
“Anke was a wonderful sitter for our two cats. This was our first time with her, and she made sure to give our sweeties the time and space needed to connect with them. Moo, our younger cat, is especially shy and it was wonderful to see how much he had warmed up to her. I look forward to using her services again!”
“Booking Catalina for a second time was even easier than the first! She remembered all our instructions from the first time and continued to communicate clearly and thoroughly. Fantastic caregiver!!!”
“Elsa takes such great care of our cats. She is super communicative with us and we always know that when she is checking in on them, they are in good hands. She even got our super shy cat to come out and spend time with her within a few visits!”
“My cat Bailey was very happy to have Quynh around! She is very responsible and thoughtful, also took plenty good pictures of playing with Bailey. Hopefully will have her taking care of Bailey in the future!”
“Lauren is an experienced and reliable sitter, and so kind! My cat immediately took to her (which is incredibly rare for him) within a couple minutes of meeting her. We plan on seeking her services again in the future and highly recommend her.”
“This is the first time Joleen takes care of my holland lop Piggy and she did a great job!! Piggy was doing great when I came back home and the floor was very clean. Thank you so much for your help!”
“Xiaowei was an amazing sitter for my cats, one of whom needed to take medicine every 12 hours. She is kind and personable, and the cats liked her right away. I would give a 6th star if I could!”
“Sam is genuinely one of the best pet sitters on this app. My husband and I have used Rover for well over two years for our two fur babies and we truly have not met anyone more compassionate, caring, and dedicated as Sam. From booking to stay, she was always prompt, communicative, and both of our cats (including our social hermit Ziva) really enjoyed her company. We can’t recommend her enough! Sam, thank you so much for playing and keeping our kitties comfortable while we were away. We truly appreciate it!”
“As always, Jacob took great care of our cat Dante. He is always professional, utterly sweet, and he really cares about providing a great experience for our pets when we are traveling. Just an amazing person!”
“Liya did a great job cat sitting my boys. They both seemed to enjoy her company very much. I didn't need to worry about them while on vacation because she sent updates and pictures regularly. Would definitely book Liya again next time. Thanks!”
“Sarah has been doing quick drop in visits for the past 2 weeks and has been amazing! Great communication, completed all tasked asked in relation to pet care and most importantly showed care for Ashoka! It was clear she was very well cared for. Absolutely will book again!”
“Hailee was great and our cat absolutely loved having them around! We would happily book again. Hailee provided prompt messaging, plenty of updates with photos, and above all, was able to keep the little guy happy.”

“Connie was so great! She was attentive and caring for our two cats while we were on a trip outside the country, and updated me with videos and pics of them! She is very friendly, accommodating, and so sweet to our pets, thanks Connie! 🐈⬛🐈”
“Lazarus has been an absolute lifesaver for us! We had to leave our super sensitive and affectionate kitty, Lucy, for a two-week trip, and he went above and beyond to make sure she was loved, safe, and happy. Before our trip, he even took the time to follow my safety suggestions and set up a secure net on his porch so Lucy could enjoy the outdoors safely—something that meant a lot to us. Lucy quickly felt at home and bonded with him within just a few days, which says everything about the care and affection he provides. I can’t imagine a better person to board Lucy with for our future trips. Thank you so much, Lazarus—you truly are the best!”
“Pat watched our cat twice and during our first meet & greet we could tell he would be thoughtful when watching a pet. He spent plenty of time with our cat making sure he had a companion while we were away. He also made a great artistic sketch of him too!”
