“Nelson came over to house sit my cat who had never been alone before. I was very nervous about how my cat would handle being on their own, but Nelson watched him like his own and did a tremendous job. He stayed for a extended amount of time and made sure all my cats needs were met!”
“We cannot recommend our cat sitter enough! She was absolutely incredible—10/10 across the board. Not only did she take amazing care of our baby, but she also sent the sweetest and most thorough updates so we always knew how things were going. It was clear she genuinely cared and went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. Coming home to a happy, healthy cat gave us so much peace of mind. Truly the best experience—we would recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, communicative, and wonderful with pets!”
“Tallie is amazing. Honestly the best Rover sitter we have ever had, coming from a rover sitter herself here. Tallie played with our cats, brushed them, gave them medicine and gave them the love and care we like to see in someone we are trusting our house and kitties with. We honestly already have her booked two more times already. If you are looking for someone who will care for your animals as much as you do, look no further.”
“Elizabeth did a great job caring for our two greyhounds. She was willing to work with some of my dogs' quirky behavior/needs. She asked questions about things that weren't clear, very responsible & trusting. She even came over quick to meet our dogs beforehand. She helped us out when our other dog sitter cancelled due to an emergency, and we are so grateful! Will definitely use Elizabeth again - highly recommend!!”
“Gina is absolutely wonderful! She took amazing care of my cat while I was away, and I couldn’t be more grateful. I came home to a happy, calm cat, which says everything about the love and attention she received. I really appreciated the thoughtful updates and the way she kept her routine just right—it gave me such peace of mind knowing she was in caring, reliable hands. It’s clear she genuinely loves animals, and that made all the difference. I would 100% recommend Gina to anyone looking for a trustworthy, compassionate pet sitter. I’ll definitely be reaching out again next time I travel!”
“Madison was fantastic from start to finish. Communication was quick and clear, and she sent thoughtful photo updates at every visit so I always knew my cat was happy and cared for. She followed all instructions perfectly, including the feeding schedule, litter box, playtime, and our place was spotless when I returned. My cat can be shy with new people, but she warmed up to Madison right away, which says a lot about her calm, attentive approach. I really appreciated her reliability, professionalism, and genuine love for animals. I will absolutely be booking with Madison again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, kind, and detail-oriented sitter. Five stars!”
“Kayla was everything we could have asked for in a Rover watching over our two cats. She was punctual, timely, a great communicator and we could tell she genuinely cared about the wellbeing of our two boys. This is the first time we used a rover and even with one of our guys being a bit rude to her, she was so kind and ensured that everything we had asked for was done during each check in. We had never felt so comfortable being away from home knowing that our boys were being well taken care of. We will absolutely be asking Kayla to watch our boys again on any trip we take.”
“My Reggie-boy loved Sarah! I was nervous leaving my 10 month old kitty alone for my 10-day trip back home, but I felt confident and relieved that Sarah was the one taking care of him over the holidays. Sarah is very responsive with updates and we would definitely book with her again.”
“Good, timely communication. Haley took great care of my precious felines - I had nothing to worry about. My kitties have suggested I ask her back IF I MUST go away again.”
“Sarah did a fantastic job of taking care of our little kitten while we were away for 4 days. She kept us well informed and aware of how the kitten was doing. We felt so much better being away from the kitten knowing that Sarah was there to check on her. Hands down we will use Sarah again for any future pet sitting needs we have. Thank you Sarah!”
About: I have lots of time and energy to take care of and hang out with your beloved pets! I have my own dog who I raised from a puppy, so I have experienced the adorable and difficult puppy phase. I also have experience pet sitting with cats! I have very few in person classes this semester, so there is lots of time for me to play with and love on your pets. I don't have any pets at my apartment, so yours will have my full and undivided attention! If your pet is a couch potato I would love to sit with them or if your pet needs more play or exercise, I live near many parks and walkable areas.
“Madelyn was an INCREDIBLE cat sitter!!! She was watching my cat, Zero, for 5 days while I was out of town. Let me start by saying, I adopted Zero from an abusive home and so he tends to be cold towards or uninterested in new people before he gets to know them. HOWEVER, the first time Madelyn came over to meet Zero, he was immediately locked in on her, rubbing his body on her legs, and rolling around on his back exposing his tummy. This made me super confident in Madelyn's sincere ability to connect with animals. I had absolutely not a single worry leaving Zero in her hands for the week. She was also really wonderful about communicating throughout the week with updates and was super easy going when the front door to my apartment complex was having issues. I really cannot recommend her enough! Your furry critters will be in great hands!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 20. Family and friends have relied on me to feed and take care of their pets. I have 2 dogs, which one is still a puppy. I can dispense medicine if needed. I have a large backyard. I prefer to do a meet & greet to make sure everyone gets along. I have lots of time to spend with my dogs, taking them on walking and playing with them, giving them lots of attention. I enjoy spending time with animals. I have a fenced in yard. I have 2 fur dogs as well to keep your dogs company. I also can crate your dog as well.
University Heights cat parents share their Rover experiences
Des was wonderful! Even when the garage code wasn't working and the house heating was acting up, she was diligent to keep me informed and resolve issues. She is a 10 out of 10! Our normally distrustful cats warmed up to her and looked forwarded to her visits.
Brittany was so amazing!! Truly went above and beyond at each visit and even took my buddy on an emergency trip to the vet after getting into some trouble without any hesitation. Brittany was the best sitter Cannoli has had thus far and I plan to consider her as my first choice for future trips.
This was the first time we had Tallie watch our cat while we were out of town. Tallie was great! Nala loved her (eventually), Tallie did a great job communicating how Nala was doing, and she took care of Nala like she was her own. We'll be calling on Tallie again!
Brooke is a dream! She took great care of my cats and home. The litter boxes were just as clean as I left them. She even vacuumed and wiped up the floors. I had zero stress upon return from our travels. Brooke communicated with me daily sharing photos and updates. She is trustworthy, professional and knowledgeable about animals. I would highly recommend Brooke.

Natalie visited our kitty for the Thanksgiving weekend, she was great! Friendly and easy to communicate with. She ensured we had back up care due to the winter storm and even when we did, Natalie made it through the snow to have her last visit which we really appreciated. Will definitely book again!
Jasmin was AMAZING! She followed incredibly detailed instructions for our kitty who needs special feeding and care. She went above and beyond in other ways like bringing in our packages and washing the dishes. She's definitely got the "it factor" for someone you want tending to your loved one. Within moments of meeting, our kitty was giving "cuddle eyes" to Jasmin, that slow winking, a sign of her ability to quickly and deeply bond with animals. Would definitely book again, highly recommend!
