“Cathy-Jo is amazing! She gave my special needs cat pills without any issue, and she gave us consistent pictures and updates! I definitely recommend her to take care of your furbabies!”
“Ryan and Jennifer did such a great job with my dogs! They are super sweet and reliable, and made extra efforts to make sure I felt comfortable leaving my babies in their care ❤️”
“I cannot recommend Katie enough! We have such peace of mind knowing she’s caring for our pets. Katie was even kind enough to water some of our outdoor plants which we greatly appreciated. Truly the best!”
“My older cat stopped using the litter box to pee in. Not only did Paula wash the litter mat and surrounding carpet, but she also recommended a new litter that attracts cats and for the past few days, my older cat has been using the litter box. Paula is very knowledgeable and always goes above and beyond when lovingly caring for my cats. God bless you, Paula.”
“Mandy is every pet mom's dream sitter! She is thoughtful, conscientious, and truly cares about your fur-babies. She took incredible care of my two kitties, made sure they had everything they needed, from clean litter and water, to play time, and of course their meal routine to my specifications.”
“Liz is great! Always having communication with me and sent me photos, updates everyday!! Will be using her again and recommended her to friends and family! It was true peace of mind that my little devil cat was being taken care of ?? we love Liz even is my cat doesn’t lol but my cat doesn’t like anyone!”
“I will definitely book with Alexis the next time I need a pet sitter. You can really tell she has a heart for animals. She was extremely kind and took great care of my sweet pet Nugs. She asked to come a day early and learn how to take care of my Nugs and to pick up the house key and I loved the initiative. I also loved getting the opportunity to meet her before she took care of Nugs. Nugs does not warm up to everyone quickly, but was giving Alexis kisses (cute little licks) during her visits. I have nothing but good things to say about Alexis and would highly recommend her to anyone who needs a pet sitter! :)”
“Kelley was a fantastic pet sitter! She took good care of my cat and played with her. She communicated well and was prompt. She left my house in perfect condition. Would highly recommend her!”

“We are so appreciative of Jennifer for taking care of our senior dog while we were away! She went above and beyond in sending us pictures, cleaning up after him, and taking him on walks. Jennifer was even flexible when our return was delayed. She will be at the top of our list next time we need help.”
“Lauren was wonderful! When the girls met her, they were really receptive and came right up to her. Lauren is communicative and attended to all of my request for house/cat sitting. She truly does love fur babies”
“My husband and I highly recommend Madison. Gabby Girl was happy with Madison. She washed the cat dishes, cleaned the litter box, and even took out the trash. Just note: We would like to use her again possibly in June or July!! :-)”
“Grace was great! My kitty hid from her as expected but she was able to snap a few pics of her and do all the little things I asked her to do. Will definitely book again!”
“Heidi impressed me in our meet and greet when I explained that LuLu was very skittish and probably would not come out from under the bed. Heidi got down in her hands and knees and located LuLu, and has sent me pictures every day, which melted away my separation anxiety. The communication was excellent, and I would definitely request Heidi in the future!”

Short Pump cat parents share their Rover experiences
Tori is a fantastic petsitter! One of my cats, who is afraid of almost everyone, was immediately comfortable with her. Tori took great care of both cats, kept in contact with me, sent lots of photos, and even cleaned up the messes made by my very mischievous cat. It's obvious that Tori loves animals. Highly recommend!!
Kirsten did a fantastic job taking care of our kitty while we were away. She was extremely reliable and communicated with us regularly, which gave us great peace of mind. Not only did she provide excellent care for our pet, but she also went above and beyond by noticing and handling an unexpected ant invasion in our home. We truly appreciated her attentiveness and initiative. I would highly recommend Kirsten to anyone looking for a responsible and caring pet sitter.
I’ve used Caitlin for years for my two cats, and she’s the best pet sitter I’ve had. Attentive, accommodating and so so easy to work with. This most recent stay was the longest and it was reassuring knowing Caitlin had everything under control and on schedule.
