“Oscar is an amazing pet sitter for my two cats Naya and Noche. They are both rescues who are anxious around other animals, and he was very accommodating and friendly. I was even able to visit the cats during their stay. Thank you Oscar!”
“Jocelyn did a fantastic job with drop in visits for our cats Cacio and Pepe. She covered all their basic needs and favorite things on each visit. She even cleaned up when one of our cats got sick. Loved receiving photos each time she finished a check in! Would definitely book again in a heartbeat.”
“Destiny was terrific! I had a last minute work trip and needed extended care for my cat. She was extremely accommodating and took wonderful care of him. He took to her immediately which is rare for him. Destiny was extremely flexible as plans changed due to a blizzard that impacted the area. She followed all instructions for the cat and treated my place like it was her own — it was spotless when I got back. Thank you, Destiny!”

“It was my first time experience using Rover to find a pet sitter to visit my cat while I'm on vacation. And I'm very happy that I found Hannah. She is an amazing person and a great communicator. She explained everything, came for a meet and greet visit and kept me updated on a daily basis. I felt at ease while on vacation knowing that my cat is well taken care of by Hannah. I will definitely use Hannah's assistant again and highly recommended her as a reliable pet sitter who takes a great care of pets.”

Katie did an excellent job taking care of our two cats when we were out of town for a week! Great communication, very reliable and personable. It was fun to get to see the cats warm up to her in the pictures as the week progressed. We would definitely book her again.

This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
