“Minal was fantastic with our senior cat. This was our first time using a pet sitter and we were a little nervous leaving our home and our cat with someone unknown. We couldn’t be happier with Minal. She understood our cat’s temperament and her calm demeanor put him at ease. She sent videos and pictures during her time with him and was very prompt in replying with any answer to questions we had. We will definitely use Minal again.”
“My elderly sister cats come running when Julie comes in! They know she will pet, play, feed, and give them treats. I couldn't leave town without knowing that they are getting such good care. Julie is able to give medication, and comes exactly on time twice a day to administer it. I miss my girls when I leave, but I know they are in good hands.”
“Greeshma is amazing and sent great pictures! Our cat does not warm up to people easily, but she seems to love Greeshma! Would highly recommend anyone to book her.”
“Chris was great! Spyder can get nervous with new people but he was comfortable with Chris. She even brought him a toy! It was nice to have someone trustworthy when I was gone for a long period of time.”
“Miranda was fantastic! Took care of our cats for a few days when a last minute trip came up and sent updates and photos each day and was super reliable. Will definitely book again!”
“Risa is terrific with our cats. She is reliable and follows all our instructions. She stays the full 30 minutes and gives attention to our cats beyond our minimum expectations. We’ve used her twice now and she will always be our go to sitter.”
“Tirzah is very trustworthy and responsible! It’s my 2nd time booking her schedule. There was a tornado hitting my area. And it went out of power for several days. I was out of town and didn’t realize this situation. She came to check my cat right after the tornado for free without my request. I was very impressed by her kindness and responsiveness. So my baby boy didn’t freak out and didn’t starve/ get thirsty. Thanks a lot Tirzah! I really appreciate everything you did. You’re the best!”
“We are so grateful Abby could watch our kittens last minute! From the photos she sent we can tell they loved her and it gave us so much peace of mind! Will definitely use agai”
“Hannah took very good care of my cats. She was on time each visit and followed my instructions. Both cats were friendly with her right from the start. I hope to use Hannah’s services again.”
“Laura is amazing!!! She's always so understanding and willing to work with me when it comes to my pup, any concerns or current things we're working on alongside keeping in the know of what she notices. It's nice to know the person watching your pet takes care of them as if they're their own, so I'd recommend her if you're looking for someone to love your pup!!!!”
“William is awesome! 10/10 recommend. We met prior to the booking to ensure a good fit for all parties. He is communicative, seems to care about my baby, and spent the time to take her on good walks as well as valuable playtime. I looked forward to pictures of Maple along with William’s description of the visit after each one! He had mentioned having a girlfriend in town during our meet & greet, so when he asked if she could join for one of the visits I was thrilled! More love for my girl. And I know had I told him I wasn’t comfortable with that he would have respected my choice, too.”
“Kylie is PHENOMENAL!!!!!! The love Kylie showed my cat shined through in so many ways. She is attentive, reliable, and caring in her visits. She went above and beyond as well. I HIGHLY recommend Kylie.”
“Mia really went above and beyond to make sure my fur babies were well cared for and sent me lots of videos, photos, and positive commentaries on how they were doing. I will definitely be booking Mia for all my petsitting needs!”
“Cecille made an otherwise challenging process so effortless by being available with very little notice and by being communicative and flexible in making arrangements. Throughout the process, she was willing to go above and beyond my expectations to make sure my fur child was cared for, and in doing so, provided such valuable peace of mind. Cecille, thank you so much for your time and kindness!”
About: I love taking care of animals of all sizes! I have three cats, two guinea pigs, and a hamster. I have experience in administering medication to cats and dogs. I work part time, so I have plenty of free time to look after your pets! I am very flexible and can care for pets any day of the week. I have experience in administering medication for cats and dogs as well as looking after disabled and injured animals. I have my own vehicle so can care for animals in the event of an emergency.
About: I’ve spent the last six years dog-sitting for friends, family, and neighbors, caring for dogs of all sizes and temperaments. I’ve also fostered 6 rescue dogs, helping each one find their forever home with love, patience, and structure. I treat every pup like family and always prioritize their comfort, safety, and happiness. I work 5–6 days a week, but I still make time for pet care because I truly enjoy it. I’m available for early mornings, evenings, and weekends, and I make sure every pet gets the love, attention, and care they deserve, even on my busiest days. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or visiting theirs, I prioritize safety, comfort, and trust. I follow each pet’s routine closely, keep their environment clean and calm, and always respect the space and expectations of their humans. I take the time to build trust with every animal, so they feel secure and cared for.

Olivia W.
“Olivia has stayed at our house with our dog any time we have been out of the town for the past year, and we have been so impressed every time! Our dog absolutely adores her, and Olivia is sweet, attentive, and thoughtful. Because we've only had our pup for a year, there have been frequent adjustments in her care, whether that be exercise routine, medications, etc. Olivia always pays attention to these details and has made our time away easy; we can have peace of mind when she is here. Beyond knowing that our dog is in great hands with a loving caretaker, our home is always left in pristine condition. Olivia always takes the extra step - whether that's leaving a kind note, starting the dishwasher, putting fresh sheets on the bed, you name it! We cannot recommend her enough, and many of our friends have had the same wonderful pet-care experience with Olivia.”
University City cat parents share their Rover experiences
This was Emily’s first time with our Luna. So, she was kind enough to have a meet and great to get the lay of the land. I really liked meeting Emily first. Emily came and kept me in the loop with how things were going. Our cat can be shy and may take a bit to feel comfortable. Emily gave a little info most days. Emily was also very easy to contact if needed. After coming home… we found our home to be on the same clean place as we left it. That is also important to me. We really would be happy to have Emily come back to see our cat again and again.
Kiwi is just amazing! She took great care of my cat for over a month and was super responsive and considerate the whole time. She also went out of her way to vacuum the area around the litter box during each drop-in visit. Please definitely consider Kiwi if you are looking for someone that’s caring, dependable, and knowledgeable!
Jason took great care of Phat and Pia. I appreciate his calming nature for my high maintenance cats, being flexible with their needy behavior. Jason is nice, friendly and performed his job perfectly, allowing me not to worry at all about my rugrats at home. I would definitely recommend, and hope to take advantage of his services again soon.
Avi was great! She worked with us to get and return keys and meet our cats before our trip. She took care of feeding our cats, and even was able to make sure to give one cat his insulin shots. We got several pictures each day showing how the kiddos looked, and the seemed to warm up to Avi quickly. This was our first time using a pet sitter, and our experience was wonderful! I highly recommend Avi and Rover!
Jessica is an excellent cat sitter. I had to leave my 1 year old cat for 15 days for the first time for a work trip abroad and I was really worried. Additionally my cat is very shy and avoids socializing with anyone. Jessica took really good care of him and updated me everyday with his health, food and water intake, and his pictures. My cat immediately grew fond of her. Jessica also made sure everything was okay with my cat’s living situation and played with him. Upon returning from the trip I am so happy to find my cat doing good, all thanks to Jessica. I couldn’t have asked for a better cat sitter!
