“Came home to happy kitties and a clean home! Abby did a great job communicating and sending pictures of her visits per usual and my cats both love her! Will 10000% be booking with her again! Thanks Abby! :)”
“We've rebooked with Charles because he gives so much peace of mind while traveling. He's attentive, responsive, and thoughtful while providing thorough and fun visit summaries. He was able to get the-cat-who-prefers-to-stare to warm up and play during visits. This guy knows cats!”
“Richard was great with my girls. They don't always love caregivers but Richard stayed with them, played with their favorite toys and it's been the calmest home I've come home to. They were calm, and happy.”
“Ellen took such wonderful care of our cats while we were away and left such detailed and thoughtful notes that put us completely at ease being away from them. Our foster cat needs medicine twice a day and Ellen was able to give her the medicine every time with no problem. Above and beyond.”
“Emily was great!! She sent lots of photos, was very communicative and helpful, and took great care of our cat while we were away. We would love to have her watch Gabe again in the future!! 😁❤️”
“Dana just gets our cats. Her daily reports never fail to crack us up (Dana, please consider writing a book one day!). She captures their personalities, quirks, and hilarious antics so perfectly, it feels like we’re right there with them. On top of that, she looks after them with so much care and diligence. We trust her completely and feel incredibly lucky to have her caring for our babies.”
“Yingquan was amazing! She was very attentive and went the extra mile to fix my cats automatic litter box even though the visit time was up. My cats are very shy and she did extremely well around them. Would use again!!”
“Kelly stayed at my house with my cat for 10 nights, and I honestly couldn't have asked for a better sitter. Super proactive in communication, sent pics and updates daily, left the house in great shape (I really couldn't tell anyone had been here!) and was flexible in the end when my travel plans changed due to weather. Oh, and I could tell she genuinely enjoyed hanging out with my cat, which makes it all the better. Hope to be able to hire her for future needs!”
“Andrew really is THE Cat Guy. My kitty loves spending time with him & I always come home to a well cared for and happy pet! He is also very knowledgeable about cats & has given me multiple tips & recommendations for my girl!! Thank you as always Andrew!”
“Elizabeth took care of our two cats while we were away for five days and we couldn't be happier. She is kind, responsive, and communicative. She sent us some great photos while we were away! I highly recommend her!”
“Our two cats LOVED Forough—and so do we! She was so conscientious about their needs, reliable, and gave us such peace of mind that our boys were well cared for during our long holiday. We’re definitely booking her again next time we’re out of town!”
“Samantha was incredible with my cat Juno! He was instantly comfortable with her and she took great care of him, sending photos every day while I was gone and letting me know how he was doing. Will definitely be booking her again in the future!”
“Ryana and Safiyah were amazing! This was my first time working with Rover and I was not disappointed. Ryana is professional, kind, and thorough. She provided photos (and even videos) when my little one finally chose to come out of hiding and it was clear that Cleo felt comfortable with her and her partner, which put me at such ease. Though Cleo is friendly, she is slow to warm with strangers, so I was pleasantly surprised to find out that Cleo played with her toy with her. I will most certainly be working with her again and am so appreciative of her care of Cleo while I was away for the weekend.”
The Downs cat parents share their Rover experiences
Claire took super great care of my cat and kept all areas (litter, food) clean and tidy. She’s very responsive and attentive to instructions. My shy cat very quickly felt comfortable with her. I had her care for my cat for 10 days and check ins were always detailed and consistent.
Sara M. was a WONDERFUL pet sitter for our cats! She sent us detailed comments about their behavior and eating and elimination habits, along with several photos. These daily updates helped alleviate my anxiety about leaving the cats while going on vacation, and I was able to relax and enjoy my trip more because of Sara. I will definitely use her services again!
Nikita provided such wonderful care for my two cats while I was out of town! One of my cats has complex needs and she was able to give me total peace of mind with pictures and detailed notes. She was totally respectful of my home. I couldn’t recommend her highly enough!
