“Diana is the best! She definitely went the extra mile and my little coco loved her! 🤍 will definitely be booking in the future. I loved the communication with her and she was very attentive and responsive.”
“We were a little nervous leaving our dogs with someone other than close friends for the first time, but Alaina did a great job of making us feel comfortable that they were in good hands. She was very responsive, sending detailed updates each day and plenty of pictures to let us know they were doing well. Would definitely use her again and recommend to others!”
“Jordan was fantastic! I was apprehensive because I have never used a sitter outside of friends and family before. She was phenomenal! I was completely at ease with her taking care of our cat. She sent updates throughout the day. Even more phenomenal, there was an issue with a key to our home where the key broke inside the lock. Jordan went to the hardware store and got the key replaced without our asking her to. She was fantastic and we will definitely utilize her services in the future! I can’t speak highly enough of her.”

University Park pet parents share their Rover experiences
Claudia was great! My elderly cat needed the extra visits for feedings but all the cats needed to be fed while I was gone. My elderly gent and his younger brother immediately took to Claudia and she gave them all the loves. The photos at each visit let me know my fluffs were doing well.
Samantha was amazing! She was so attentive to my two cats, the pictures she sent captured their personalities and happiness perfectly. I appreciated her meeting before hand, I knew she would be amazing with them the moment they walked right up to her. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and trusted sitter. Thank you so so much once again!
Amazing service!! I had a last-minute longer term booking and I was worried I wouldn't find a sitter in time, much less one that would care for my cat as I would. Kimberly was a perfect match and shows up always attentive, always compassionate for my Lily girl. She really pays attention to all of her needs and caters to her uniqur personality. Lily seems to love her company and I'm so so grateful💓 Kimberly also regularly checks in to ask questions and send pics, the communication is spectacular! 12/10 recommend
Alyssa is fabulous! She went above and beyond to ensure that our kitties were well looked after while my husband and I were on vacation. She sent thorough text updates and lots of pictures after each visit, and our kitties were calm and happy when we returned home. Which is a great sign that they felt safe and comfortable while we were away! Alyssa was great with our shy kitties, and they loved her. We will definitely (hopefully) be booking with Alyssa again in the future!

She sent updates throughout the day. Even more phenomenal, there was an issue with a key to our home where the key broke inside the lock.

Charlie is extremely responsible with my pets (I have two cats) he always sends me photos when I request them and will hunt them down even under couches until he gets a photo! Recently, my water went out and he brought in gallons of water so that my cats were well taken care of. I so appreciate his responsibility and his unyielding care of my two cats. I am eternally grateful.
