I was very nervous about leaving my cats alone for a long time, and this was my first time trying Rover. I reached out to Leann to watch my two cats with shorter notice, and she was very responsive and friendly. She did a great job of making sure my cats were taken care of when I was out of town for a week! She also sent adorable pics and updates of them after checking in. I'll definitely book with her again and I'd highly recommend her to anyone else looking for a great cat sitter! 🙂

Abby was very responsive and responsible. Both our pups loved her, she got a lot of pictures while they went to dog park to play. She even managed to get them pose for super cute pictures. Would hire her again and again.

Anna did a great job taking care of our pup! She is organized and detail-oriented. She showed up to the meet-and-greet ready to take notes and asked lots of questions. Her professionalism showed that she takes dog sitting seriously and genuinely cares about the pet’s needs.

She was amazing! One of my dogs had an accident and she cleaned up and everything! I normally board my dogs but it was so much easier having someone drop in and care for them.

Taylor was prompt in her replies, even when I did a last minute booking! She was great with the kiddos, they were taken care of very well. My dog Vali got nice walks and lots of pets. Taco, my cat definitely appreciated the timely meals 😆, churu treats ☺️ and play time. Definitely will continue with her for future bookings.

Elizabeth was super reliable with twice-a-day visits, and so loving with Oliver! He loved her from the moment they met, and she executed all of his needs (food, vitamins/meds, treats, potty breaks -- everything!) with total ease. She took a picture each time, and reported any concerns right away. Elizabeth truly went above and beyond. I could not recommend her more highly!

I have a feral cat and her schedule can be unpredictable especially during the very hot or cold weather months. Allie was very flexible with our scheduling and allowed me to make a few changes days before I was leaving town. Allie did a fantastic job feeding, changing the water even when the water bowl was completely frozen, and caring for Little Kitty while I was gone. She also keeps you well informed of her visits, sends pictures, and gives updates for how everything is going. I highly recommend Allie and her services.

About: I’ve taken care of my family dogs since I was young. Over the last few years Rover clients, friends, and family have relied on me to walk, feed and care for their dogs while on trips or just to help them out for an afternoon and take their precious angels for a walk. I currently work from home 2 days a week and I would love to make time in the morning, afternoon, or evening for walks or drop ins to fill water bowls and let them out for a pee break. Why not help others with their dogs while they have to work at the office or have an appointment and the dog needs to be let out. I would only care for a dog in the client’s home, not in my own. I like to see where I will be working, meet the client and the dog, and make sure I am familiar with how to get in and out of the home. And that the dog likes me. I respect your space and your things. I ask a lot of questions in order to develop a trusting relationship and appreciate open communication.

With having a skittish cat, Kelly goes above and beyond to make my kitty feel comfortable. Luna does not run and hide and actually hangs out- indicating Kelly’s patience and devotion to making pets feel safe and comfortable. I will always try to book Kelly and suggest you all do the same!

We just adopted a 12 year old dog with anxiety issues…. She checked in on him, took him for a walk… when we got home he was perfectly content with no signs of stress. Will definitely be scheduling more visits…

Thea is a favorite in our family. I have 3 cats and 2 are very shy but Thea makes them so comfortable and brings them out of their shells. In addition, Thea follows all notes and directions and is a pro at pet care. She takes this job very seriously and it shows. We love our pets so much and I cannot begin to describe the relief we feel when we know someone like Thea is taking care of them while we travel 💖💖💖💖

Arabella is amazing! She took up a last minute job to check in on my cat for over five days, administering his oral medication as well as general care tasks. I recieved lots of updates and great pictures of him along the way, and she was very professional and respectful of my home. My cat adores her and your pets will, too!
