“Susi takes great care of our cat, Glinda, and always goes above and beyond to make sure she’s happy and comfortable. We trust her completely and couldn’t ask for a better sitter. Five stars all the way!”

“Denise was great! Very thorough and patient. She helped us out with a home-stay catsitting job for our two cats, one of whom is asthmatic and required medication and the other who gets a bit anxious when we are gone. Denise did a great job medicating and monitoring our girl with asthma and making the other girl feel at ease. I was so pleased to get frequent, detailed updates and as a bonus Denise was very respectful of our home. We are so glad to have found a reliable catsitter who we will definitely call on again whenever we are out of town!”

“Alexandra was a great dog sitter for our senior pug. Our dog has special needs such as going out 3-4x a day, needing a diaper, and some pills with food. She dog sat at our apartment for a week and everything was smooth. She also provided regular updates. We will be booking her again for now on.”

“Cara was so helpful! I really appreciated her covering for me while I was at work. Prince is very shy and takes time to warm up to others but he loves cara! Would definitely recommend her and book her again.”

“Dona was great! She was very professional, communicative, and clearly got along so well with our dog Zeus. Will definitely look to use Dona again for future sitting needs.”

“Mike was our very first Rover experience, and I'm so glad we found him. He stayed at our home and took such good care of our dog and cat, sent frequent updates and photos, and was so communicative and kind. Our animals seemed very happy for all the round the clock care and attention he gave them, and it was such a relief to have them in good hands. Highly recommend Mike, and hope to have him back to take care of our animals again in the future!”

“Celine was excellent! She stayed in our home for 5 days with our dog and cat, and was very thorough with their care, asked lots of good questions to make sure she was prepared and then sent us updates throughout each day. She went above and beyond to clean the space before heading out as well which was appreciated. We would absolutely work with her again!”


“Destiny was fantastic with our 2 kitties. This was the first time we left them and she did a great job keeping us updated with texts and videos. I highly recommend her if you want someone friendly and knowledgeable.”

“Lakshmi is a fantastic pet sitter! She looked after our cat Mac for about two weeks. This was the first time my wife and I used Rover, so we didn’t know what to expect with a stayover pet sitter. Lakshmi was pretty much everything we could ask for: conscientious, friendly, easy to communicate with, and a gracious house guest. Most importantly for us: she was very responsible with Mac right off the bat, getting to know his daily routine, feeding, toys, playtime, likes/dislikes, etc. We could tell Lakshmi also just likes working with animals… honestly Mac is usually scared of strangers and a bit of a diva 😅, but he really warmed up to Lakshmi during our trip. My wife and I loved getting the little photo updates as we traveled… we knew Lakshmi won him over once we saw the cat lounging belly up in the middle of the floor. My wife and I had never had to leave Mac for such a long time, and I’m happy to say we had peace of mind the whole trip. Lakshmi gets a big recommendation from us, and we’d definitely turn to her again to look after our little Mac.”

“Raegan was awesome today with our husky Sterling! She took great care of him, he clearly bonded with her and look forward to using her again. I would highly recommend her for any dog service!”


“Michelle is the best! She's worked with my dog several times, and I will definitely hire her again. My dog Lucy loves Michelle, and she's not the easiest dog to care for. Michelle is compassionate and clearly a dog lover. She's also trustworthy and hard working.”
“Ariana stayed in my condo while I traveled for three weeks. The photos and video she sent showed me Orion was well-loved and happy. On my return, my condo was clean and orderly, so I know she took good care of my home as well.”

About: Dear Pet Parent, My name is Claudia, and I am a passionate animal lover, and enjoy spending time with animals. Currently, I don’t have a pet of my own, so I have an abundance of love to share. Having grown up with pets, I’ve gained experience caring for dogs, cats, and ferrets. I would love the opportunity to meet your pet and spend quality time together. Thank you! :) Best regards, Claudia Medel I currently work from home, so my schedule tends to be very flexible, if you are in the area I can always take your dog for a walk. Every pet is different, as well as their place. I appreciate to receive information from dog owners in advance about all the needs the pet might have.
“My father passed away unexpectedly and I had to leave for New York within minutes. My biggest concern was my two dogs. I reached out to Anna and she came immediately without hesitation. From that moment on, I was completely worry-free. She sent consistent updates, photos, and videos, and my dogs were clearly happy and well cared for the entire week. She stayed with them full-time and kept me calm during a very difficult time. When I returned home, my house was spotless and beautifully organized. She truly went above and beyond. She is the best dog sitter I’ve used in 9 years — 100% trustworthy and reliable. I will absolutely be using her again.”

We had such a great experience with Amanda! She stayed with our dog Copper while we were away for a whole week and took great care of him and our home. She kept us updated every day and was super communicative. We came back to a very happy and well cared for Copper, and our home was just the way we left it, which is more than we can ask for! We are so grateful we were able to find someone that we can trust with him and would absolutely book her again. Highly recommend!

Jocelyn was amazing with our pups during a very hard time for us. She took amazing care of them and they were so obviously comfortable with her as shown by the many pics and videos she sent. We will definitely be using her again. And she left our home in perfect condition :)

Iraklii was wonderful with our new 9 week old puppy! We had to leave town for a family funeral shortly after bringing our dog home and he spent the night with her and took such amazing care of her. He was very patient with her and also shared such sweet photos so we knew she was in good hands for our first night away from her. We would absolutely book him again!

This was the first time I worked with Noa and she was amazing. I loved that she came prepared to the meet and greet with specific questions and wanted to fully understand Greta before committing. I had contracted her to stay at my place for 4 nights. She came I headed out to the airport… then my flight was cancelled and so was my entire trip. She was so understanding in me having to come home when I messaged her at 11pm. Very professional and communicative off the bat. Looking forward to working with her again

Alexandra was a phenomenal Rover partner, I'm so glad we booked her! She asked very thoughtful questions about our dog Remy, sent us many photos and videos during the house-sitting booking, and seemed to truly enjoy taking care of / spending time with our little guy (important!) Timely, kind, and our dog literally fell asleep in her arms when she arrived. Thank you Alexandra!

Anya took great care of our two needy cats - we had never done in-house sitting before, but thought they would be happier to have a companion while we were traveling rather than doing 30-60 minute drop in visits. Anya typically sent us 1 update per day (including photos/videos) and was very quick to respond when we reached out to her. She left our apartment very clean and our cats seemed much calmer when we got home compared to times where we’ve only arranged drop in visits. Thank you, Anya!
