“This is our second time having Kade take care of our pets. The absolutely best!!! So trustworthy and takes the best pictures for the updates 😊”
“Elizabeth is so great with my dog! She is very responsive, friendly, and I knew he was in good hands. Will definitely be reaching out again in the future :)”
“Rachel has taken such good care of River Phoenix. He’s better on the leash with me since she’s been walking him. He seems like he’s in a better mood these days too.”
“Very responsive. Gave great updates. It made me feel so much better being out of town and knowing someone was taking such good care of my cat.”
“Lila was super responsive and dependable while watching our two cats for a long weekend! Even though our shy kitties didn’t give her much face time, she made sure to stay 30 mins to let them adjust to her presence. Her daily reports were very detailed and gave us peace of mind during our time away. We’d love to rebook Lila in the future and would definitely recommend her to any pet parent ?”
“Kyla did a great job looking after my cats. It was easy to set things up, she arrived as scheduled, communicated well throughout, and my cats liked her too.”
“Chloe is awesome! She checks in on my old pup a few days a week while I'm at work. My dog Maddi loves her! Maddi isn't a big walker, so Chloe takes her out briefly, but they spend most of the time cuddling. My dog has anxiety, and on the days Chloe is there, she's so much happier when I get home.”
“Jeff provided multiple days of feeding, cuddle time, walks and loving attention for our dog. The photos he sent helped us feel at ease knowing our boy was safe and happy. We appreciated his responsibility and updates!”
“Sophie did an amazing job with Pepper! Pepper is a people lover dog and can come off very intense. Sophie was kinda to my dog and I could tell by the way Pepper acted when I came home. Sophie was flexible, communicated well, took photos, did all that i asked when it came to Peppers needs, and gave great notes throughout her time with Pepper. I really appreciate you Sophie for checking in on my pup while i was gone and showing her love! I would highly recommend you to anyone. Once again thank you☺️”
“Kirby has been great helping me with daily let outs while I’m at work this week. She even went out of her way to schedule a meet and greet since my dog can be a little anxious. Highly recommend her!”
“Thank you so much, Maria! Maria was a fantastic sitter for my two cats. She did drop in visits while we were away for a day, and she followed instructions perfectly, and came at the times we agreed. She played with my cats, and sent me lots of pictures, where my cats looked happy. We came home to two perfectly normal cats and house. Having her made my day better, because I could relax knowing that my boys were taken care of. I will definitely contact her again, next time we are out. Thank you so much again, Maria!”
“Cynthia was a great pup-sitter, and kept me well informed with pictures and updates! Sebastian tends to be anxious and he looked like he didn’t miss a beat of belly rubs, cuddles, walks and attention. She communicated all needs and changes in behavior during my time away! She was a great sitter!”
“Cat is the most wonderful sitter we’ve had for our girls! She was communicative, caring, and provided so much love to our two pups. One of our pups is really shy with new people, but Cat’s patience and expertise completely won her over. We got lots of photos and videos of our fur babies. Do not hesitate in working with Cat for your pet care - she’s phenomenal. Thank you so much, Cat!”
“Elijah was communicative, on-time, thoughtful, and attentive to detail. He asked questions which I really appreciate. My cats feel safe with him which lets me enjoy my trip!”
“Devinder takes great care of my cat Theo, who can be a bit sassy and territorial, especially when it comes to his personal space. I’d definitely recommend Devinder to anyone with a quirky or particular pet - he handles them with care!”
“Kristen was wonderful! She took great care of our kitty while we were out of the country for about 2 weeks. We will definitely connect with her for any future needs as well.”
“Very happy with Cindy's care of Mamie. She kept us informed along the way, and loved the photos she shared.”
“Robbi did absolutely amazing! She’s so sweet & my cats absolutely loved her from the moment she stepped in the door lol. In fact when i came home from my trip they acted like they didn’t know me 😂!! She sent plenty of pictures, she communicated everything with me, and she followed the list of things i provided! I definitely would book her again 10/10 💕!”
“Averi was very kind and my dogs liked her (always a good gauge). There was a mixup on the meeting place (my fault!) and she was very gracious and accommodating. This was our initial meeting so I can’t speak to her as a house sitter, but so far so good!”
About: I have taken care of my family and neighbors’ pets whenever they needed someone to watch their animals. I have worked with senior animals, puppies, kittens, and animals who need extra care/special needs. I am still searching for a job, I have a lot of free time so I can take care of pets at any time of the week. I make sure to follow any specific instructions left for the animal’s care. Walks, play time, and clean up are down regularly between getting other tasks done. Animals are usually fed twice or three times a day unless there are specific instructions otherwise. Basically I will follow whatever instructions are needed.

“Ayanna’s services were exceptional. She provided 24 hour in house care for our 55lb Golden doodle, Geachie, for 9 days in June and 9 days in July. Her duties included giving medication each morning, walking and playing with him, feeding twice a day and companionship. She did a spectacular job attending to Geachie’s needs with regards to scheduled and unscheduled bathroom breaks. Our house was kept clean and secure and Geachie loved spending time with her. I would definitely hire her again.”
Southern Barton Heights pet parents share their Rover experiences
Cat has been an absolute pleasure to work with! I scheduled her last minute for daily drop-in services with my dog, Koko. Even though it was a short turnaround time (I made the request Saturday morning for services starting on Monday), Cat came to our house that same day to meet Koko and discuss what I was looking for in drop-in services. Over the past week, Cat has been an excellent communicator, has consistently arrived on time, and has really catered her care to Koko's preferences (e.g., playing ball with her in our yard, convincing her to eat something at lunchtime even though she's picky). I have already booked another drop-in session with Cat for next week and will certainly continue to work with her in the future! I highly recommend working with Cat!
Excellent job. I hope to have the opportunity to book again with Elizabeth. She gave my pets extra special care and was available on short notice. Thank you for such a great job and going above and beyond to care for my pets!
Elijah is a great communicator and was very attentive to our senior cat. We will definitely call on him again in the future!
Kelly is the absolute best! She understands my cats and treats them like her own. I always feel so much better leaving town when I have her to watch my babies :)
The second time Maria & Luis watched our two dogs while we were out of town for a few days and did a wonderful job again. Thank you guys so much!
We've had JP to watch our Ollie multiple times, and its always a breeze. Its great knowing we have someone who will go the extra mile and make our (very spoiled) dog happy while we are away! Highly recommend!
Abby did an incredible job with our two kitties! They can be a bit anxious but Abby made sure to spend ample time with them to make them feel comfortable while we were away. She was also able to give them daily medications without issue! Would highly recommend Abby and will definitely be booking with her again in the future!
Katherine is the best, I feel so secure in having her care for my cats. She always includes detailed notes and lots of pictures, and we definitely will be booking with her again in the future!!
Haley is a gem of a pet sitter!! She dropped by every day for a week to feed and play with my kitty while I was out of state. I loved the detailed summaries she sent each day after the visit. Highly recommend her to anyone :)
Brenna did an amazing job of checking in on my cat T. Rex while I was out of town! She was a great communicator and super flexible with my traveling times. I would 100% recommend her to other pet owners and am sure I will reach back out next time I need a drop-in again!!
Erica was great to work with and our pups really seemed to enjoy their time with her. She was attentive to their needs and gave everyone lots of snuggles while we were gone.
Devinder takes great care of my cat Theo, who can be a bit sassy and territorial, especially when it comes to his personal space. I’d definitely recommend Devinder to anyone with a quirky or particular pet - he handles them with care!
Lindsey came through with a last minute request and she always takes care my little ones! She makes my life and job so much easier when I have last minute trips!
Our pups loved Tali! She helped out when we were out of town for the day and they were well taken care of. 😊
Jessica was the best - as always - with our geriatric Maine coon and his troublemaker brother! She knows just how to keep them happy!
Averi is so kind and caring for my high maintenance, beautiful greyhound Veri! She gets her separation anxiety and goes above and beyond to keep her comfortable, even if that means laying on the floor next to her❤️🐶❤️
Rachel H is outstanding. She does a fabulous job with the puppies. She’s very affectionate with them and she takes her time. She follows the instructions to the letter and keeps my house clean and secure; she is punctual and trustworthy. Thank you Rachel H for all you do for my family.
