“Claudia did an awesome job taking care of our cat Maia. This is our 2nd time working with her and we will definitely book with her again. Maia feels very comfortable with her. 100% recommended.”


2. Lindsey S.

“Lindsay saved us again! She helped us in a pinch with making sure our sweet cat was cared for and litter box all clean when we needed to be gone a few extra days. Really appreciate her! Reliable and communicative… super helpful to know she’s in the area if we need help with our fur babies.”


3. Karen M.

“This was our first time hiring a sitter for drop-in pet minding, and Karen made it an incredibly comfortable and low-stress experience. Daily check-ins complete with pictures and a little report kept us smiling and looking forward to the next day, so we could see more cute pet pics. Karen even caught a problem with our pool that we were able to inform our landlord of so he could take care of it while we're out of country - she really just went above and beyond, and we're so grateful for her work 🥰 We'll be hiring her again in the future, and I promise you won't regret doing the same!”

“Veronica is very friendly and did so great with our small dog and cat! She sent updates every visit with cute pictures and went through their routines perfectly :) I will definitely be reaching out to her in the future!”


7. Cecilia G.

“It was my first time using this app, I felt hesitant at first but, I had an AMAZING experience with Cecilia! She was incredibly responsive and kept me updated during every visit, which gave me so much peace of mind. Penny was comfortable with her from the very start, and I truly appreciated her urgency in making sure Penny feel safe and at ease. It’s clear she genuinely cares about the pets she watches. I highly recommend her and will definitely be booking with her again!”


8. Sherri S.

“Sherri is fantastic! She was so great with last-minute communications and was easily the most loving and interactive sitter with our dogs. We are in the middle of a cross-country move, as well as out-of-state graduations and events, and our house and lives are absolute chaos. Sherri was just so chill with it all and went above and beyond!”


9. Robyn R.

“Thank you for the lovely photos! Remy was well taken care of and enjoyed his visit. Robyn was a delight to work with and will definitely rebook with her!”


10. Liz I.

“As our first time using Rover, I enjoyed Liz as a dog sitter for my dog because of her attention to my his wants and needs as if she was the actual owner. I am thankful to have selected Liz and her services and would 5/5 recommend her for others and look forward to the next time we may need Liz’s help.”


11. Alexandria Q.

“Alexandria was a terrific cat sitter. She did a meet and greet and put my mind at ease— asked questions about my cats’ personalities, needs and likes and went above and beyond. She fed the cats, played with them, changed the litter and kept me updated with photos and daily notes. I highly recommend hiring her… she makes you and your pets feel like family. I was worried about having just anyone watch my cats and she isn’t just anyone; she’s amazing! Thank you, Alexandria!”


12. Vivian S.

“Vivian is extremely great at communication and took care of any of my concerns since it’s my first time using this app! I would 100% go to her in the future! Amazing!!!”


13. Lauren B.
“Lauren is very dedicated to animal safety and health. She always does her research extensively and takes the pet's needs into consideration. She's done a great job so far with walking and caring for my german shepherd, Jupiter, when I need it.”


14. Teryca B.

“Teryca was fantastic! This was our first time using Rover so didn’t know what to expect. She was really communicative and very attentive with our pup while we were out of town for a long weekend. We would definately book her again.”


15. Alyssa L.
“Alyssa is the best dog sitter I’ve had. She took care of my 13 year old maltipoo with just as much love and care I give my dog. He’s a stubborn old man and she was very patient with him and never rushed him when going outside and took him on his two walks a day. She gave him all the loves and cuddles (the he allowed because once again grumpy old man). Could not recommend Alyssa more!!! Your pet will be loved and cared no questions asked.”


16. Laila L.

“Laila is the best! She is very thoughtful in her rover cards and paints us a picture in words of our furry friends in action in such a humorous way. It brought me joy! Book Laila, she will not disappoint!”


17. Adriana P.
“Adrianna has pet/house sat for us at least a dozen times and we couldn't be happier with her help. She takes excellent care of our dog, takes her on long walks, and texts pup-dates (pics) for us while we're away. I once cancelled a trip becasue Adrianna was out of town and I didn't want anyone else watching my golden girl. I give Adrianna my full endorsement, and so will you!”

About: Forever a dog person! Grew up with all animals from dogs, cats, reptiles, and rodents! Grew up in Seguin on a ranch and have loved animals with a desire to care for each one’s specific needs. I also supported my past girlfriends Rover experience throughout the pandemic. If she was away, I would also care for pets in our home so I’m acclimated to many kinds of pets in my home! Depending on your pets age, needs, and required attention I’m very flexible when it comes to stepping away from my main responsibilities to care for pets. I do micromanage time based on your pets schedule. As a full time work from home employee I’m able to make on demand adjustments. If your pet had a unique schedule, I’ll be happy to match those requirements! My home: my apartment is very spacious. I allow most pets the freedom to roam and play to their desire. My current pet, Yuuki is a 8 year old who is shy at first, but does enjoy being social as well. Puppies can be crated (based on family suggestion). If a pet is reactionary or has trouble sharing spaces with my pet - a further discussion and potential meet and greet is highly recommended. Your home: As a WFH worker I’m able to take my work with me wherever I can. I can stay at your home or make frequent visits between mine and yours. I can follow clear and concise instructions on how you would like for me to care for your pet and home.


19. Taylor F.
About: I’ve grown up around animals pretty much my whole life. I have two fur babies of my own. A senior kitty I’ve had since high school and my two year old calico baby who is a shy girl. I have two cats of my own that are my absolute world! Even though they are very independent, I still come home during lunch breaks from work to check on them and make sure they are okay. Will follow directions given by clients to make sure your fur babies are taken care of to the best of my ability. Will be your pets best friend while you’re away :)

“Karina is the BEST! Our dogs love her and we do, too! She is excellent with communication and makes us feeling totally at ease knowing our fur babies are in great hands! Highly recommend! 💕🐾”
