“Jennifer went above and beyond with my kitties and even taking care of the house during the stay. Our kitties were very shy but she took her time and still made efforts to seek them out and send us photo updates if she could. 10/10 Recommend:)”
“Mia did a wonderful job. She was right on time, did everything we asked, and stayed the entire scheduled time. Bashful came out and stayed with her, and enjoyed her company. Shy DB didn't come out but she did apprecicate a clean litter box, dinner on time, and snacks. We would love to book Mia for our next trip!!”
“Jordan did a great job with our kitty! She was very prompt, followed all of the instructions left for Ruthie wonderfully, and did an excellent job communicating. She even sent the cutest pictures of our very pleased cat who was insisting on more pets and cuddles. I was very confident that our cat and home were in good, reliable hands. Jordan was thoughtful, professional, and showed a really kind heart for animals. Will be hiring again!”
“Bianca was great with our kitties! We were taking a long vacation, so it put me at ease knowing they were in good hands. She sent multiple daily photos to keep us updated and was very responsive. Definitely would book again!”
“I can’t thank Andrea enough for helping us out last-minute today so we could take our god daughter to LEGOLAND. I reached out the morning of, she responded quickly and she showed up promptly at the scheduled time—despite me forgetting to provide my unit number and not replying quickly. She was incredibly patient and gracious, even looping back after I finally got in touch. She took our dogs out right away, and when we got home, they were calm, happy, and clearly well cared for. She’s kind, reliable, and so easy to work with. We’re really grateful and will definitely be reaching out again!”
“Kaylee was amazing while watching my kitten! She kept me updated with cute photos and videos, making me feel completely at ease. It’s clear she genuinely cares about animals—my kitten had a blast and was well cared for. Kaylee went above and beyond, even tidying up around the house. I highly recommend her and would trust her with my kitten (or any animal) anytime! Thank you, Kaylee!”

“Abigail took care of our cats so wonderfully when we were out of town. She sent us pictures of them and kept us updated about things. She was super easy and efficient in terms of communication, and promptly answered any of our questions. The cats had a great time with her; our cats love people, so they cuddled with her and got a lot of pets from her. Highly recommend Abi, she will love your pets like her own. Thanks so much, Abi! ♥️”
“Brittani did a wonderful job feeding and caring for my cat while I was away. She kept me updated regularly and ensured my cat was well-fed and content the entire time. It really helped ease my worries while I was gone. I’ll definitely be contacting her again in the future!”
“Aliyah is a pleasure and appreciate her animal magic and proactive sitting service. Timely and responsive communication is definitely a welcome surprise. Strongly recommend.”

“Very communicative, kind and our cat definitely seems to have had a great experience! We would absolutely rebook Mia. Even went extra mile to help our kitty with an extra need than we expected”
About: I have been petsitting probably since I was about 10. I just moved away from home so I am without a dog and am excited to love yours as my own. I have watched dogs of every shape and size and I have experience walking bigger dogs and smaller dogs and have minimal experience training, but I love to teach tricks! Typically when I dogsit I feed and water morning and night, give meds if need, during the day I love to come over and wear them out whether that be a walk or just playing with toys. I am a grad student at USF focusing on Entertainment management. I go to class on Tuesdays and Thursdays all day(8-5) so those days are a little tougher for me, but MWFSS are good for me unless I have something with my program or I am headed home for holidays or an appt of some sort I am very trustworthy for keeping pets. I have a list of families who I’m sure would love to give u feedback on how I was with their animals. Growing up with dogs I have experienced a lot of different things and I am also a super emotional person l, so once I meet your dog I will literally pretend it is my own.

University cat parents share their Rover experiences
I have an older cat that though sweet, he has some challenges. Madison cares for him, loves on him and treats him as her own. I love the pictures that she sends us of the two of them cuddling on the couch and the reports she sends are thorough. I trust her in my home and she always leaves everything very neat and in order. We have used Madison’s services multiple times and we will always use her when we travel to take care of our precious cat! You can trust her too and you will enjoy meeting her!
Danni was INCREDIBLE! She took care of clover and went above and beyond with it! She took so many photos, and was very detailed on how clover was doing. This was our first time leaving clover with a pet sitter for a long time frame and I have to safe she was in the best hands with Danni! Danni followed all directions we gave her and if they were any questions she made sure to ask! I felt so at peace knowing danni was with my animals, will certainly book with her again!!! Thank you so much Danni !
Jany provided great care to my cat on her drop-in visits while I was away for a while. He always seemed very much like himself in the photos provided during each check-in. She made sure he had all the food, water, litter cleaning he needed and even helped clean up the litter tracking on the floors he tends to do. He likes to play, so I am happy he got to have some company and play time with Jany, who has lovely energy.
This was our second time booking Alexandra to care for our kitty, Holly, in our home, and once again, she was fantastic. We felt completely confident leaving Holly (and our home) in her care. She’s responsive, reliable, and the daily photo updates were much appreciated. Highly recommend—thank you, Alexandra!
Livy took great care of my cat for a week while I was on vacation! It was the longest I’ve ever spent away from my cat and Livy was very punctual and gave me updates daily, reassuring me that everything was going well so I would definitely recommend her for your pet care needs.
Jasmine watched our cat while we were away for 10 days. She was very attentive and followed all of our instructions. She gave us plenty of updates via the rover card and sent lots of pictures. We felt very comfortable with having her take care of our cat while we were away.
Morgann came over for a drop-in visit where I showed her how I feed my dogs and cats and gave her information about taking them out and cleaning the litter box and everything in preparation for her pet sitting next week. She was super attentive and friendly, and I’m sure she’ll do a great job pet sitting! 😊
