Marley loved Jose, so much so Marley was playing fetch with sticks which I’ve never seen him do! Jose also took amazing pictures at every check in”
12. Clyanna L.

14. Natasha B.
“Natasha did a great job with our kitties! This was our first time using the Rover app and we were a little nervous about it, but Natasha sent us updates that put us at the ease (including letting us know when we had packages delivered) and we came home to happy kitties. We will definitely reach out to her the next time we need a sitter.”

“Barbara was extremely great with my 2 cats. They usually aren’t friendly and like to hide but they warmed up to her! You can tell she really cares! I’ll definitely rebook for my next vacation!”
16. Rachel Z.
“Rachel exhibits qualities every pet lover should have. She is always excited to meet new animals and instantly falls in love. She is very attentive and caring. I never have to worry when my animals are in her care.”
17. Amanda C.
“Amanda is the best! She took such good care of my kitty Cloud. If I ever need a sitter again I will definitely be going to her. I was iffy on trusting this app with my cat because of my other friend’s previous experiences. However, Amanda is just a top tier sitter.”
18. Katrina D.
“Katrina is a mature, responsible person who quickly earned our trust. Leaving our fur babies in the care of someone else is no small decision. We feel totally confident in her sensitivity to our older dog and our new rescue dog who is still adjusting. Highly recommend!”
19. Laney R.
“Laney is amazing! I’ve used her 3 or 4 times for nearly week long drop-ins for my elderly cat. Simone always seems happy to see me home, but was obviously well cared for in my absence. Great communication, handles my old door and funky electronic locks with ease, etc etc. 10/10 would recommend!”

“Ashleigh is amazing with our pets! We love having her around and so do the dogs! She takes my dogs on hikes and nature trail walks while I’m at work and they love it!”
