“Claudia was wonderful! From our first meet, she connected instantly with my cat Ava, which gave me complete confidence in her care. While I was away, she communicated consistently, sent great photos, and kept Ava’s litter clean. It’s clear she genuinely cares and takes the time to make pets feel comfortable. I came home to a happy cat. Highly recommend!”
“Estefany was very responsive and willing to be flexible if her schedule allowed. She came to the house as scheduled and took good care of the cats. I would recommend her for any pet sitting needs and will be happy to rebook her myself!”
“I couldn’t be happier with Dhanica! She’s an amazing rover sitter! I will absolutely book her again. And yes you can use any photos or videos of socks that you’d like! She was so communicative, kind, and clearly loves animals. My cat Socks immediately warmed up to her, and I appreciated the frequent updates, including photos, videos, and messages. I’m so grateful for the excellent care and love she showed Socks. I would recommend Dhanica to anyone looking for reliable, compassionate pet care. Cannot thank her enough!”
“Diana was amazing, very professional and detail oriented. She genuinely cared about and for our cat Titan and ensured he was taken care of during our trip. Thank you Diana!”
“Aleksandra did a great job with taking care of my kitties and sending photo updates as well. I would definitely recommend working with her and book her again!! :)”
“Alyssa was great! I have 2 shy kitties that won't come out for strangers. She hid treats for them every day and helped out when Ash spilled the drinking fountain. I would highly recommend her and will likely hire her again!”
“Steph did a great job house sitting for my senior cat who needs oral meds. She kept me updated and sent pictures throughout my trip. It was nice to have peace of mind while I was away for the weekend!”
“Alexis responded to all texts and other correspondence in a prompt & professional manner. I know Jack was in great hands while I was away, & she posted many photos of him, which set me at ease. I would definitely rebook with Alexis!”
“We are thrilled to share our experience with Valerie, our incredible pet sitter. From the moment we met her, we knew our cats and guinea pigs were in good hands. Valerie's dependability is unmatched. Our cats, who are usually shy around new people, immediately warmed up to her (mostly). They eagerly anticipate her visits, and it's clear that they enjoy her company. Valerie's availability is another major plus. Whether it's a last-minute trip or a scheduled vacation, she is always accommodating and flexible, ensuring our pets are never left without care. Her dedication and reliability give us peace of mind, knowing that our furry family members are well looked after. We couldn't ask for a better pet sitter than Valerie. She is a true animal lover, and we highly recommend her to anyone in need of a dependable and compassionate pet sitter. Thank you, Valerie, for all that you do!”
About: I have had my dog Teddy since I was 13. I’ve seen him in many different stages and how his care and needs have changed now that he is a senior. I am very attentive and detail oriented and can walk your dog as needed. I am an online grad student so my schedule is very flexible! I also currently have a fully remote internship that I can do anywhere. When in a client’s home I follow any and all instructions that are given as well as sticking to the pet’s routine if they have one
“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: 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.
About: I am a Technical recruiter who loooves animals. I have a pretty open schedule and would love to spend my time caring for your furry companion. I am a responsible undergrad looking to build my skills in anyway I can! This is my first time on this site. I have Dog sat other peoples dogs previously. Mostly family members. I will play with your dogs and make sure they're properly cared for, and provide updates via pictures and videos. I have done overnight sits for up to 10 days and can administer medication as well as I have cared for many elderly dogs that need ear infection medication, anxiety medication and doggy cancer medicine. I am currently working a remote 9-5 job and can be at your home throughout the day providing an early morning walk and afternoon walk. I will ensure all pets are taken care of, in my own home anytime I take my dog out I ensure I have the proper collar and leash, and I am always outside watching them to ensure they are safe and accounted for.

Tempe cat parents share their Rover experiences
By far the best sitter we have ever had the pleasure to work with. Not only was she confident with our anxious kitten, she has the experience and care that fur parents can appreciate. Our cat has gone from being anxious to allowing Alyssa to feed her treats right out of her hand, just after two times working together! Super cool!! 10/10
Felicia was a great fit for us and our 3 cats! She navigated through our chaotic house and took excellent care of the little furbabies. Unfortunately the really shy one couldn't overcome his angst and interact, but that's on him. I am sad that Felicia is moving out of our area, but her new area may now have a calm and kind petsitter available.
Rebecca did an amazing job with my two cats. My cats are usually very shy with strangers and need time and space to get acclimated, and Rebecca was able to make them feel at ease. Booking another set of visits with Rebecca for when I have to go out of town in two weeks. Highly recommend!
Brian worked a long job for me taking care of our cat during a big transition for our family. We could not be more grateful for Brian and his consistent, caring attitude and hard work. It was a huge relief to know our cat was being cared for by Brian. Highly recommend Brian for any and all of your pet sitting needs!!
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
