3. Annabelle A.

“Annabelle was very sweet and great with our 2 cats while we were gone for a week. Everything was just as it should be when we returned home and she did everything we asked. We would definitely use her again in the future”


4. Eleanor W.

“Eleanor is terrific! She was very conscientious about knowing how to administer my cats’ medicines. When I returned from my trip, my house was as orderly as when I left it. Most importantly, she has a real affinity for animals. My cats loved her. One of them is very reserved but I could tell from the notes and pictures she posted on Rover that he warmed up to her very quickly. I felt very comfortable having left my cats in her capable hands.”


5. Clyanna L.

“Clyanna was fantastic with our cat!! He's notoriously grumpy but was playing with her after just a day or two or getting to know her, which is high praise from our orange boy! Clyanna was communicative, friendly, and so kind with Roo, especially during the holidays when we couldn't be with him. We will definitely work with her again!”


6. Jose A.

“Jose did an amazing job with Marley! I was able to leave an entire week without having to worry once. Was always on time and walked my dog to the park every time. Marley loved Jose, so much so Marley was playing fetch with sticks which I’ve never seen him do! Jose also took amazing pictures at every check in”


7. Glenmary A.

“This was my 2nd time using Rover and requesting Glenmary. She is amazing!! The photos and notes she posted were so complete and helpful that I really felt comfortable with my decision to use Rover, and especially picking Glenmary and her partner!! My fur baby loves her and comes home happy and relaxed. She is the best and helped me out with zero notice both times! (I know, I'm a headache!! 🤕) Thank you so much Glenmary!!!”


8. Miranda S.

“Got back from my trip to my cat happy and healthy! This was my first time using something like this so I was nervous but Miranda followed all the instructions perfectly and I would trust her to watch Cider again in the future.”

“We are so grateful to have found Stephanie! She is conscientious and reliable. She is great with our two high energy springers and we definitely plan to use her again.”

“Thanks so much for a last minute lunch visit!”


15. Amanda C.

“Amanda is the best! She took such good care of my kitty Cloud. If I ever need a sitter again I will definitely be going to her. I was iffy on trusting this app with my cat because of my other friend’s previous experiences. However, Amanda is just a top tier sitter.”




16. Debra E.


“Deb always goes above and beyond when watching my cats. On my last booking she was able to accommodate an extra day with very short notice. I know they will always have great care when booking Deb. She’s the best.”

“Alex was great! She took good care of our 2 cats :)”


20. Elena R.

“Elena did a wonderful job with our 2 dogs. She was timely and sent great photos while she did her visits. We’ve used Elena two separate times and both times worked very well for us. We could do what we needed to do knowing that are pups were well taken care of. Plan to have Elena care for them again.”
