“Couldn’t ask for a better sitter! Tina kept me thoroughly informed of her daily visits to my two kitties. I appreciated her photos and details on their feeding habits. Most importantly, she kept me updated on my leaking faucet issue. Highly recommended.”
“It has to be a really special person for me to feel comfortable leaving someone in my house overnight with my baby. Samantha spent the weekend inmy home and took great care of my shitzhu-bision. She was flexible with her schedule and asked all the right questions. She is very upbeat and enthusiastic. She is confident in her experience and knowledge about dogs. She randomly touched base with me and sent lots of pictures ensuring me that Pippa was very happy. I would absolutely have Samantha come back again and would highly recommend her.”
“Vera stepped in as a last-minute replacement, and I’m so grateful she did! She followed all of my detailed instructions and was very intuitive with my persnickety cat. She also sent very charming and kind updates. Highly recommend!”
“Erika was so great with our cat Emmett when we went away for a week! She respected our scheduled timeframes for when he needed to eat, gave him lots of love, gave him his pill every morning, and even enjoyed his frequent chatter. Not only did Erika do a fantastic job with Emmett, but she even alerted us to and helped us deal with a house issue. Would highly recommend to others (especially cat owners, as I know it seems like everyone on Rover prefers dogs) and will definitely be using her again!”
“Stephanie was the best! She cared for our cat Chester and home while we were away. Great communication and exceeded expectations. We just rebooked with Stephanie for our next trip!”
“Jess comes over on time, takes care of everything and plays with my baby. I get a sweet report on how she is when I'm away. :) Jess is very dependable and attentive to the details, she loves animals, and I love the result! Definitely will ask for help again.”
“Alex did a great job with my little boy Mojo while I was on vacation! She showed him lots of love & attention & went above & beyond in her care of him. She was always very punctual & stayed in contact with me about how he was doing. I would definitely use Alex’s services again & recommend her to anyone who wants their pet(s) well taken care of! - Kelly Frick 7/22”

“Zarah was great with Loki! I was nervous using Rover due to it being my first time but it turns out to be such a relief because Loki was left in the care of someone who truly loves animals . I definitely plan on having Zarah watch Loki for my next trip.”
“Jenna did a great job taking care of my cats. She showed up like clockwork, sent pictures to put me at ease and responded to all my questions and texts. Everything was as expected with no issues, everything neat and clean and she even brought the mail in without being asked to. I plan on using Jenna again in November and February. Big relief to have someone dependable to take care of Willow and Friday.”
