“Nicole and Michael did drop in visits for our two pups over a long weekend we were out of town. They were extremely responsive and punctual throughout the whole experience. The photos they sent of our dogs made our minds at ease and helped us to not worry. will 100% be using them again.”


“Steph was a great caretaker of our fur children. I have a pretty rambunctious dog and she handled her no problem. I’d trust Steph to take care of the babies again any day of the week.”

“Emily will definitely be invited back! She took great care of my cats, my home, the big humidifier, etc. and even bought new litter when I ran out and she couldn’t get a hold of me. I feel like I can rest easy when I’m gone knowing she’s got this.”

“Christina is amazing. I have two German Shepherds which is a breed not all sitters will accept. They are great dogs and absolutely love Christina. She is reliable and always responds to requests and questions quickly. Thank you!!!”
“Monica was excellent with our dogs! She was very attentive to their needs and is very caring. She’s extremely easy to work with and a good communicator. I knew my dogs were in good hands when we went out of town for the weekend :)”

“Michelle did a great job with my two boys! I’m new to Rover and found Michelle to make the process simple and easy! Would definitely recommend to family and friends. I will be asking her for help next time I go out of town.”

“Alyssa did a great job taking care of my cats. They're usually very shy, but they loved her! Communication was great. She sent lots of photos, so my vacation was worry-free. Will definitely book her again.”

“Veronika was quick to respond to my initial request. This was for a short, but important trip. Veronika reassured me that my baby, Stache was in good hands, & I got the Rover cards with each visit. If she is available, I will definitely request Veronika again!”

“Crystal is awesome. She came over to meet my cat Monkey before her visits to make him comfortable and did such a great job keeping him company and her communication is great. I really appreciate her visits.”

“Kayla did an amazing job on a few check ins while we were out of town. Our cat Desi has really taken a liking to her, probably because Kayla will brush her out when she stops by. Kayla also went above and beyond and helped revive our plants. Will continue to hire her”

“I have a very large, medical high-need pet. Madison handled her meds and complicated routine with accuracy, patience, and compassion. She stayed in constant contact and sent plenty of pictures and updates. We have not been able to travel because of our Lulu's health but now that we have found Madison that will absolutely change. Lulu is usually very emotional but we came home to a calm, happy baby and a clean house. I am so happy and highly recommend.”


“Dani was awesome with our babies!! She was reliable and paid attention to all the details at our home. She was prompt with visits and pics and keeping us up with the visits... will definitely use her again and highly recommend her for home visits.. She was awesome!!”
“We just moved to Gilbert a few weeks ago and this was our first time using Rover. We had Julie over for a meet and greet before we booked. We immediately knew she was a natural with animals. She took great care of our two dogs while we were gone. She will be definitely be our go-to when we’re in need going forward.”

“Claudia was amazing with my two kitties! She communicated great, gave my girls lots of love, and sent plenty of cute pictures of them. Looking forward to having her back soon!”

About: Hi! I’m Patience ! With over 10 years of experience caring for pets—ranging from energetic puppies to senior cats—I treat every pet like part of my family. As a lifelong animal lover, I understand that pets need tailored care to feel comfortable while you're away. A typical day in my care includes a morning walk, plenty of play sessions with chew toys, and quiet cuddles in the evening. For seniors, I focus on gentle, short walks and ensuring they have soft bedding and a calm environment. I work from home full-time, which means your pet will have company throughout the day. My schedule is flexible, allowing for frequent potty breaks every 2–3 hours and mid-day play sessions. I usually take a longer walk in the late afternoon to help them burn off energy before dinner. Your pet's safety is my top priority. I require a meet-and-greet to ensure we are a perfect match. I only communicate through Rover for your security and mine. I am highly observant of behavior, ensuring pets are never put in stressful situations and that their environment is secure.
“Great help! She was quick to respond to my request to book, came over for a meet and greet, and left great notes about how the visits went. She even went above and beyond, by washing my dog’s bowls and taking out some trash I had put by my back door and forgotten to get to before I left the house. Would absolutely be happy to book again!”

“I cannot recommend my pet sitter highly enough! From the very beginning, she was professional, communicative, and genuinely caring toward my pets. She provided regular updates, photos, and messages, which gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. What impressed me most was the attention and affection she showed. It was clear that my pets were not just being watched—they were being cared for like family. She was attentive to their routines, needs, and personalities, and I came home to happy, relaxed pets and a spotless home. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, reliable, and truly passionate about animals, look no further. I would gladly book with her again and recommend her to anyone who wants exceptional care for their pets. Five stars all the way!”

We are so grateful for Rachel ! We had a last minute booking and she was super communicative about availability and flexibility with our fur babies. She was always updating us on how they were doing during her check ins. Razor and Blueberry absolutely loved her and felt very comfortable with her specially when she brought them some treats!! We will definitely be reaching out again:)

Estefany is amazing with my cat Wymack and even more amazing with communication and last minute accommodation! She went above and beyond watching my baby and fit in pet sitting him super last minute! I recommend her to anyone that needs some peace of mind when they are out of town!

Veronika was a great sport about a somewhat irregular cat sitting gig of looking after a semi-stray cat I have been feeding for several months. She sounded honestly happy and pleased the one time she saw the cat in the yard. Very reliable and easy to work with.

So lucky to have found Amanda last minute. My cat is absolutely in love with Amanda and I rebooked with her before her first job was even up. I am so glad to have found her and definitely plan on booking with her in the future. Great communication and lots of pictures! Everything I could have asked for!

This was our second time booking with Lillian, and she was great as always! She sends detailed updates and lots of photos, which really gives us peace of mind while we’re away. It’s clear she genuinely cares about Lumi and takes the time to play with him and make sure he’s doing well. We’re so thankful for her help and would definitely book with her again!

Jai jumped in to care for our kitties while we were on an international trip, and our other sitter had a last-minute schedule change, which we greatly appreciated! She's a very quick communicator and has a positive, calm demeanor that put our cats at ease immediately. Highly recommend Jai and will be requesting her help again when we need a sitter in the future!
