“Julia is a fantastic cat sitter and we highly recommend her! We reached out with pretty short notice, and Julia sent a quick response from the start. Her communication before booking and during our trip was excellent - we got so many details about our gals’ care and health which really put our minds at ease while away. It’s very clear that Julia cares so much about each pet she cares for and their individual needs. Our two cats are shy and hide from visitors, so Julia handled leaving food out as well as observing their activity between visits. I’m pretty sure the litter area and kitchen were cleaner than how we left them, too! We’ve had cats for nearly 15 years and this was one of the best sitter experiences we’ve had.”

“Rachel was amazing with our cats. She helped alleviate our anxiety through her detailed notes, photos, and responsiveness. She meaningfully engaged with each of our cats, and won over our very shy cat, who was very reluctant to interact at the start. We will be definitely contacting her again when we need a pet sitter.”

“Tricia took the best care of my cat! I came back to a content kitty and clean home. Tricia was excellent with communication and provided detailed reports of each visit. This was very reassuring while on vacation. I highly recommend Tricia for anyone’s cat sitting needs! Thanks Tricia!”
“I had such a great experience with Mary Anna. It’s hard to leave my cat for extended periods of time but her thoughtful visit summaries truly helped to put me at ease. I loved hearing the details of the visits and of course seeing some pictures is reassuring as well. Not only was Mary Anna great with my cat, she also did me a favor by turning my alarm off when I mistakenly forgot to do before I left for my trip! I will definitely use her again the next time I’m out of town.”

“Lee is friendly and responsive. He did drop-in visits with our cat and they went well. He also provided us photos when he was with her. I would definitely use Lee again. Thank you Lee!”


“We couldn’t have asked for a better cat sitter for our two cats. Their medical needs have gotten more complicated, requiring more care while we’re away. I was nervous about this, but Holden was very reliable, responsible, and communicated very well throughout this process. I look forward to booking with him again in the future! I would absolutely recommend him.”

“Joe was great with the cats and immediately earned their trust. He went above and beyond cleaning up cat bowls and one throw up incident. Thank you, Joe!”

About: 🦴 I always bring treats for my visits! Please let me know if your pup has any allergies. 🐾 Drop-in visits can include a potty break, short walk, playtime, and basic training (sit & paw) at no extra cost. 🏡 Boarding includes bowls, toys, poop bags, and complimentary pick-up and drop-off at no additional cost; just pack your dog's food and any comfort items they'd like. I have over two years of hands-on experience caring for my own poodle, whom I raised from the time he was 3 months old. Although he currently lives with my family overseas, raising him taught me the patience, consistency, and responsibility that puppies need. I'm comfortable with feeding, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and following each pet's routine to ensure they receive attentive, loving care. I’m a Temple University student who is studying Biology under pre-med track. My class schedule is flexible throughout the week, which allow me to make time for pet care and work with different scheduling needs. I carefully follow all owner instructions regarding feeding, walks, and daily routines. I pay attention to each pet’s behaviour and needs to help make sure they are safe and comfortable during every visit. 🌟Feel free to use my promo code JESLYK31939 to get $20 off your first booking with any Rover sitter
“Ellen was fantastic with Clover. She came to do a “Meet and Greet” and then we walked Clover to the park. Clover immediately took to Ellen, and I would not hesitate to have her watch Clover again. I would highly recommend!”

“This was our first time hiring Alexa and we had a great experience. She was attentive and patient with our shy cat, and she adapted easily when we missed some instructions. Her daily updates always included pictures which we loved seeing!”

“Hazel did a really great job watching our cat and our dog. Our dog is reactive and has lots of energy and Hazel listened to our instructions and made sure he was safe and well taken cared of. She also made sure our house was cared for. I’ve had sitters in the past that just watched our pets and came home to a home that felt dirty and uncared for but it was nice to come home to a house that was clean and not a complete disaster from the pets. She sent photos and kept us updated on them both. Will definitely book her again when we go out of town”

“Lauren was an amazing sitter as always. She is so communicative, so sweet to our kitty, and just an overall joy to work with. I cannot recommend her enough!”

“Jasmine exceeded my expectations for a pet sitter by miles! She was always quick to respond and sent a lot of pictures and photos of my cat while she was visiting and feeding her. Tele can't wait till you come back Jasmine!”

About: I have taken care of dogs for years either boarding, house sitting, or walking for up to a month at a time. I'm excited to support you and your pet care needs. I work from home so it is very easy for me to walk, feed, and care for your pet based on their typical schedule. Just let me know! I am extremely careful to make sure that pets stay safe and feel comfortable while they are being cared for. I can send text and/or photo updates as requested.
“Chastity did such an amazing job taking care of my cats, and was so communicative with me - sharing photos and updates unprompted! I came home so some happy and healthy kitties! :)”

“Elizabeth helped me out of a jam, walking Luna several times throughout a long weekend while I got pulled into a mega client project last-minute. Luna loves Elizabeth — she is amazing. Thank you, Elizabeth!”

About: Besides fostering and later adopting my own special needs beloved cat, I've cared for both dogs and cats for friends and family. My experience includes feeding, walking, playing, cleaning, etc. I pay attention to detail and instructions, caring for animals as if they were my own, knowing these are sentient beings and understanding their psychology well. I'm well suited for any task and connect deeply with animals. Besides looking after animals for friends and family, I also regularly volunteer at the cat cafe! I'm currently working part-time so my schedule can be very flexible with at least a day's notice! I wake up early too and I'm very punctual if needed, so mornings are not an issue. I treat my client's home with the upmost respect, following all instructions. I'm naturally a very clean person as well, so the home will be left exactly how you left it!
“Bahisha did a great job with our kitty! :) Would definitely rebook her services. She was also very communicative when we had an issue with our water and our landlord needed information and she made sure to bring in all of our mail while we were away.”


“Jackie provided drop in visits for my senior dog over the holidays. She arrived on time for each visit, fed and walked my dog, and sent me a detailed update and photos after each visit. I would use Jackie in the future and highly recommend using her, your pup will be in good hands!”

Alexandra was great! On extremely short notice she agreed to help me out. It was clear to me right away how much she cares for the pets she watches, which put me at ease during my travels. Her communication was excellent and her daily reports were a delight to read; I always looked forward to them! Would absolutely recommend her.

Amber was such a good sitter! My cat Airy loved spending time with her, and she sent plenty of photos and detailed updates about how Airy was doing. Her visits really put me at ease because I could tell she cared for my baby girl like she was her own. I’ll definitely book her the next time I need a sitter. Thanks Amber!!
We cannot leave enough great feedback about Janie and how well she took care of our Millie. She was punctual, communicated well, and loved her like her own pet. She truly relieved my dog dad anxiety. I wish the rating had a sixth star. Janie is the best! Would absolutely repeat.

Megan was amazing! She took time to make sure she was understanding our needs with our two kitties, was on time and professional, and provided pictures for peace of mind. We even had our two mischievous boys accidentally lock themselves in our bedroom one day, and Megan dropped what she was doing to go over to our house outside of her scheduled time to break them free. Would 10/10 hire again!

As a first time Rover member, I was so relieved to have someone who took the time to meet my pets beforehand, learn their quirks, and send detailed updates. Julia gave me that comfort and reassurance I needed as an attached cat mom who hates leaving her kids! She also left a sweet note and cat toys and that goes a long way for me. Can't rave enough about Julia!

Rachel is dependable and made sure to provide details with every visit. We appreciated all the photos and knew our pups were in good care. Rachel was diligent in taking notes during the meet and greet which made us feel at ease when leaving her in the care of our older dog with many medications. The pups had a great experience and look forward to her care in the future!
