“This was our first time using Valerie’s service. We are so happy to have found her to care for our two cats while we were away. She sends the best updates and photos, giving us piece of mind that our cats are being well cared for. This is invaluable when traveling! We will absolutely be using her services again and highly recommend.”
“Very sweet person! I can see the love for animals she has, I knew my cat was in amazing hands. Highly recommend Avery for watching your pets and I’ll come back to her for future drop-in visits!”
“Kylee was amazing! She stopped by on such short notice and was very kind! My puppies even loved her! Would highly recommend and will definitely be using her in the future! Thank you so much!”

“Claudia was fantastic to work with in every step of the process. She came to get to know our cats and grab keys, and I was instantly at ease. She sent multiple pictures of them both during every visit she made, which is reassuring. One of our cats likes to pull out little bits of fur (vet doesn’t know why) but the house was clean when we came home. I would highly recommend her to anyone and we will book with her in the future for sure”
“Amazing service!! I had a last-minute longer term booking and I was worried I wouldn't find a sitter in time, much less one that would care for my cat as I would. Kimberly was a perfect match and shows up always attentive, always compassionate for my Lily girl. She really pays attention to all of her needs and caters to her uniqur personality. Lily seems to love her company and I'm so so grateful💓 Kimberly also regularly checks in to ask questions and send pics, the communication is spectacular! 12/10 recommend”
About: I've loved animals and had a childhood dog, Chubby (a suspected spitz mix). But as a grad student who can't stay in the same place forever, I don't have the stability to have my own dog these days. I would love to help others take care of their babies! I am very patient and love taking walks. During the summer, I'll be working part time teaching Korean in the middle of the day. I am available in the early morning, late afternoon, and evenings Mondays through Thursday, and all day most Fridays and weekends. I am very mindful of pet safety--my cat is indoors only and he's never escaped or gotten lost (except for a 30-second adventure when he was a kitten), and I'm very patient with dogs on leashes and won't let them pull or run off.
“Kristen was amazing! Kristen was really prompt with responding to the request, able to do a meet-and-greet quickly, and was so responsive while I was out of town. She was so good with my cat, Hailey. Hailey is normally really nervous around new people, but she warmed up to Kristen and I got many pictures of Hailey rolling around just being herself. I absolutely recommend using Kristen as a sitter and plan on booking with her again.”
About: After taking care of cats in my neighborhood for 4 years, I’ve decided to come to Rover! I enjoy all things about cats and can’t wait to care for your pets. In addition to feeding, watering, and cleaning up after your cats, I believe sending quality play time and taking photos of your cats are essential to my job! With experience taking care of cats with medication and other special needs, I hope you choose me to provide top quality care for your cats! I am currently working towards a graduate degree in economics at ASU, so my schedule is largely flexible! I am available to care for your cats early in the morning any day of the week. Monday and Wednesdays I am free after 6pm, Tuesdays I am free after 8pm, Thursdays I am free after 3pm, and Fridays through Sundays I am free all day! I enjoy coming to play with your cats after class but I am more than happy to visit in the morning too! I am very attentive to any and all requests made to ensure watching your cats can be as easy as possible for your cats and you! I enjoy spending time to get to know your cats, but I won’t pressure them if they seem wary or stressed. I like to provide lots of pictures so you know your cats are well taken care of while you are away!

Claudia was great! My elderly cat needed the extra visits for feedings but all the cats needed to be fed while I was gone. My elderly gent and his younger brother immediately took to Claudia and she gave them all the loves. The photos at each visit let me know my fluffs were doing well.

Alyssa is fabulous! She went above and beyond to ensure that our kitties were well looked after while my husband and I were on vacation. She sent thorough text updates and lots of pictures after each visit, and our kitties were calm and happy when we returned home. Which is a great sign that they felt safe and comfortable while we were away! Alyssa was great with our shy kitties, and they loved her. We will definitely (hopefully) be booking with Alyssa again in the future!
Jordan was fantastic! I was apprehensive because I have never used a sitter outside of friends and family before. She was phenomenal! I was completely at ease with her taking care of our cat. She sent updates throughout the day. Even more phenomenal, there was an issue with a key to our home where the key broke inside the lock. Jordan went to the hardware store and got the key replaced without our asking her to. She was fantastic and we will definitely utilize her services in the future! I can’t speak highly enough of her.
Alaina was amazing with my cat Blue! She was super communicative, reliable, and made me feel completely at ease while I was away. I came home to a happy, well-cared-for kitty and everything just as I left it. I really appreciated the updates and photos she sent — it was clear Blue was in great hands. I’ll definitely be booking with her again!
Jane is a delight! Our cat warmed up to her quickly and I could see that she spent quality time with him-not just feeding him but playing with him and giving him lots of attention. It was so nice to be able to leave him with such a warm caregiver. I would recommend Jane to anyone needing pet care. She is friendly, kind, totally reliable, and conscientious. I would not hesitate to ask her to watch Crowley again.
