“Lauren did a great job of watching our 2 cats while we were away! One is very shy, and the other is very particular, but Lauren did a great job letting them have their space while also making sure they had food, treats, water, etc. and sending me updates/pics each visit. Our previous rover we have used a couple times before was unavailable so we booked Lauren for the first time fairly last minute, which included visits over the Christmas holiday, so we really appreciated her accommodation. We came home to the apartment looking just as we left it. The cats are both happy for us to be back but seemed to have been well taken care of while we were away. I’d happily book Lauren again next time we need a cat sitter!”


“Thank you Kelsey for taking such good care of my kitty Sonny! He's doing great, as if I never left. I truly appreciate your kindness to him, and your work and attention to detail. Blessings to you. :)”

Arian B.
“Arian is an absolute gem of a pet caregiver! My Bernese Mountain Dog, Sophie, can be a bit shy around new people, but she took to Arian immediately—which told me everything I needed to know. Arian’s calm, patient energy and genuine love for animals was obvious from the start. While I was away on a week-long work trip, Arian kept me updated daily with photos and little notes about Sophie’s adventures—from long walks at the park to cozy snuggles on the couch. I could tell Sophie was not only well cared for, but truly happy and loved. When I came home, my house was spotless, and Sophie was calm and content (not her usual “you-abandoned-me” meltdown). I couldn’t have asked for a better experience, and I’ll absolutely be booking Arian again in the future. If you’re looking for someone responsible, thoughtful, and animal-savvy, Arian is your person!”

Walker pet parents share their Rover experiences
Paula is fantastic!!! I had a pet siter set up for my home but she had to cancel at the last minute. So instead I took my pups with me to my VRBO and hired Paula at last minute notice. We did the meet and greet and my girls Gabby & Gracie immediately loved her. She did a few drop in visits while I was at my conference and eased my anxiety that they were in a strange home without their mom. I would recommend you hire Paula, she will treat your pets like family.

Olivia was wonderful! This was my first time leaving my cat with someone outside of friends and family, and Olivia was able to put my mind at ease. Communication was great, and I could tell Sebastian really warmed up to her based on the photos and updates she provided. It was comforting knowing Bash was in such great hands. Olivia went above and beyond. Would be more than happy to have her care for Bash again!
