“I am so grateful that we found Daniel to take care of our chickens when we were gone for 10 days on vacation! He was excellent at being in touch, communicating about various things, and paying attention to details when taking care of our pets. We needed to make a few last-minute changes to our schedule and Daniel quickly redid the booking for us multiple times. It was a pleasure working with him and we will definitely be thinking of him for our next vacation!”

Strong pet parents share their Rover experiences
Alex was excellent. She stopped by our house twice a day when we were out of town for 2 weeks. She was punctual, sent lots of pictures, communicated well and took great care of our dogs and house. She really went above and beyond and exceeded our expectations. We will definitely be using her again in the future and would highly recommend her to anyone.
Paige is has been a fantastic reliable and wonderfully professional caretaker to my beloved cat! Highly recommend. She will give your pet lots of love!
I've had Neka sit for me twice now and he does amazing, he always goes above and beyond what I ask of him. The cats love him, and he takes such good care of them. Thank you Neka, you're my go-to!
Lavinia was a dream to work with and we came back to two very happy dogs! Thank you Lavinia. 100% recommend.
Anna once again took great care of our kitten!! Our request was very last minute and she was so accommodating.
Joey is amazing with all my animals. My Cane Corso takes special introducing and not everyone I introduce him to takes the job. He liked Joey from the first day. I actually have a little farmstead with several types of animals, including a horse, a goat, an emu, over 50 chickens and other types of fowl. I even feed some of the wildlife! Joey does all of it. I get great pics and I'm always so happy with the detailed list he leaves of all the chores and extras that he does. He even remembers things that I forget to mention sometimes! Number one call for me all the time is Joey. Besides, he gave me a very reasonable farmstead rate. I highly recommend this sitter, especially if you have animals not listed on Rover!
Daniel is really helpful and accommodating for my cat who generally dislikes most people. I’m grateful to know he’s checking in our her and making sure she gets her daily medication. Thanks, Daniel!!
Ronnie was very down to business, even brought a notebook when he came to get the keys and meet our cat! She ran right up to him when they met, and got plenty of playtime while we were gone.
My cats love to see Isabella, especially Squeaker. He especially enjoys the treats, pets, playtime, and brushing. He would probably let Isabella take him home with her if she wanted, (he's such a Romeo!). Ariel enjoys maintaining her Princess status with Arabella, who brings her meals to her on a tray! I enjoy the fantastic photos Isabella takes every day even the funny ones of Ariel being grumpy!
Squeaker and Ariel were happy to see Wei arrive every morning and evening while I was away, especially when it was time for treats and, for Squeaker, brushing his coat. Ariel apologizes for her hissing, she takes a while to show her friendly feline nature! It was nice to see photos of my cats while I was away. Wei was proactive in dealing with issues by maintaining communication while I was out of the country.
Steffen is very friendly and reliable. We are very lucky to have Steffen care for our cats when we are away.
Carly was so efficient, organized, and attentive to all our cat’s needs! We’re so grateful to her - she took such good care of Daisy!
Morgan was absolutely amazing as a pet sitter for our dog, Ben, during our trip to the Tinker Nature Park and the Genesee Country Village and Museum. From the moment they met, Ben took to her instantly, going straight with her like they’d always known each other! He got to enjoy parks and even a Starbucks pup cup while riding up front in her car—talk about VIP treatment! Morgan’s communication was excellent. She met us at each of our destinations, making pick-ups and drop-offs so convenient. Plus, she helped make our trip even better by recommending local foods and must-see spots in the area, which was so thoughtful since we're not from there. One of the standout moments was when she caught a scheduling error in my vacation plans that I hadn’t noticed, which saved a big chunk of the trip from chaos. Honestly, Morgan didn’t just pet-sit; she helped make our vacation smoother and more enjoyable than we could’ve imagined. She’s truly perfect at what she does, and I would absolutely recommend her to anyone needing a caring, reliable sitter!
Melaney was great! Booked her as a drop in and was super flexible and took great care of my pets. Will definitely rebook with her!
I knew Emily was the right choice when my cat who doesn’t usually like anyone came straight to her on their first meeting! I loved all of the notes left and felt relaxed while on vacation.
Samantha was fantastic she was on time and my dogs loved her! I'll definitely be using her in the future.
Kiera takes great care of my dog and is always available for communications. I received awesome pictures too! Will definitely book again!
Karen was fantastic! Ximena was very happy and loved to spent time with her. She came for drop in visits 2 days in a row and even spent longer time just to give her some more company! We would love to have her again :)
