“We tasked Larry with a last minute booking for our two kittens. He did amazing with them and followed all instructions. He was very respectful of our apartment as well. Will definitely book again!”



“Linda was so kind and took such good care of my senior cat. I felt very safe being away from home with Linda taking care of my fur baby. I will definitely be a repeat customer!”


“Great first experience hiring a pet sitter! Michelle was attentive, thorough, and left us detailed updates every time she came by the feed our cats. We’ll definitely hire again!”


“Alessia is amazing! My dog is more cuddly and Alessia took the time to play with her and give her so much love. I didn’t worry for a second about my dog’s care!”


“Very attentive and accomidating and trustworthy. Her communication was excellent and was more than expected with someone providing these services. Would recommend to family and friends.”


“Kimberly is AMAZING! I can’t recommend her highly enough! I had to go out of town for a week, and she came by my house twice a day to take care of my kitties. She sent so many videos and pictures, it really made me feel at ease. I was nervous about the process, and I feel so lucky that I found her. She not only took care of my kitties in regards to feeding them and cleaning the litter box, she played with them and gave them attention and love. She also adjusted my thermostat for me and even swept up a mess my cats made when they decided to have a wild night alone. It is such a blessing and relief to have someone come into my home for a week while I was gone and know that everything in my home was safe and my two love bugs were completely cared for. I will definitely book her again, and can say that anyone would be lucky to have her take care of their furry family members. Kimberly, THANK YOU! You are a gem! You are so appreciated!”


“***FIRST TIME ROVER USER**** When my normal sitter became unavailable, unexpectantly, I had no idea what to do. I was at the point of not going away on my vacation because it was about a week away from leaving. This was my first time using Rover, and my anxiety was through the roof about the entire process and the idea of a stranger coming into my home. I chose Marybeth primarily based upon location, her photos of her and her pets and her age/experience. Upon meeting Marybeth, her overall kindness and genuine, sweet, friendly personality put me at ease immediately. She listened attentively to what my needs were and my animals routines, without trying to change or judge anything. She was promptly responsive to all of my communication prior to leaving for my trip and the duration as well. When meeting (2) of my (3) fur babies kitties (only because 1 is a scaredy cat and won't come out for anyone really), you could tell immediately that she has a love of cats and taking care of them appropriately and lovingly. I left instructions for her and she followed all of my requests (even non animal related, like bringing in my mail and checking on my refrigerator door that pops open). She was even kind enough to check on my hamster even though that was not part of the animals requested to watch. Every day while I was gone, she was on time, left me a happy little note about the status of everything and pictures of all my babies. Personally, the fear/worry/anxiety about leaving my babies as well as just someone coming in my home was enormous, and Marybeth really put that to ease for me. (I know I already mentioned that, but I figured for anyone reading this, who is on the fence about hiring through Rover). I would 100% recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, kind, sweet person to take care of your precious family members while you are away. She even returned my key promptly upon my return. Thank you to her again. I am forever grateful for her.”



“Evelyn was fantastic! At the meet and greet she showed up with pen and paper taking notes to make sure she didn’t miss anything important, which I loved since my dogs have a lot of instructions. She came on a walk with us on their regular route to see how they act and what they’re used to. I am very pleased to continue working with Evelyn in the future!”


“It feels great knowing that Shea is taking care of my old cat when I'm away. Shea makes sure that the old gal gets her medication and receives plenty of attention.”


“Kailey was great with our dogs during the drop in visit. One of our dogs is protective and weary of new people, but he was calm and comfortable with her. We’d definitely hire her again!”


About: I've had dogs in my family for over 30 years and cats for over 10 years! Animals should be treated with kindness and love because that's what they give us. I understand the time and attention that new pets require as well as the gentle and caring touch that all pets deserve. I've always been my friend's dog sitter and own two cats of my own. I'm a teacher so I will be free for most of the summer during the week. I enjoy the outdoors so would love to take your dog for a walk and also care for your cat or dog indoors. I've never had a fish but would happily check in on those water babies as well! At this time, I am not able to board your cat or dog in my apartment as I have two cats of my own. Thanks.

“Daniel took excellent care of my cat! She is shy and will almost always hide when sitters visit, but when I'm back I can tell from her mood and behavior that she felt safe and comfortable. Thanks Daniel!!”


About: I have 2 dogs at home back in Austin, one since late 2012, the other since early 2016. I've always gotten along well with dogs. I've found that most of them are very perceptive to who dog people are and they basically always recognize that in me. My dogs back in Austin helped me get through the day. Other than going to school at Hudson Valley Community College, there hopefully shouldn't be any scheduling conflicts. I try to make sure my dogs get enough attention, and usually we can count on each other for emotional support when they wouldn't prefer to spend time with the other members of my family.


“Molly was fantastic on time quick to respond and most of all our pup Pumpkin LOVES her. We definately will be using her again when we can't take our furry baby with us. her again”


About: I have taken care of pets from friends and family since I was 10 years old. Overtime, I have developed an ability to make dogs and cats feel at home and welcomed through proper time and attention, the key for anyone and any animal to feel loved. Changing wet pads, showering and bathing pets, running and playing with dogs, and cuddling with animals are second nature to me and I have years of experience doing each. Currently, I am working full time 9am-5pm during the weekdays. Outside of those hours, having the pet come with me on outdoor activities when weather allows and staying inside to lounge around are common. I usually see it as an excuse to keep active during my sedentary office lifestyle. Time in = trust out. Building trust and making your pet feel safe and sound is one of my main priorities. In order for that bond to exist, consistent attention and care is needed. From proper feeding, regular walking, and rigorous playing, pets in my care will return back to you in good spirits.

“Angela was excellent, my cat Nene was well cared for, and I would highly reccomend her for anyone looking for a cat sitter. Thank you for taking care of Nene!”


About: I've been a lifelong cat companion and caregiver, having raised and nurtured them since I was young. Over time, I've also bonded with my cousins' and friends' dogs, learning their unique needs and quirks while helping with everything from daily care to playtime. Whether it's a playful pup or a curious cat, I genuinely enjoy keeping tails wagging and whiskers happy. Since I currently work remotely, my schedule is wide open for pet sitting and dog walking— whether it’s a midday stroll or an overnight cuddle session. With a little heads-up, I’m happy to help with house sitting, too. Caring for animals isn’t just a part of my day — it’s something I truly look forward to. In my home, I’m the go-to comfort zone for my two cats — they always come to me for cuddles, calm, and of course, their meals. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I create that same sense of safety and familiarity. My friends’ dogs naturally stick close to me, whether we’re relaxing or out for a walk, because I make sure they feel secure, heard, and happy. Whether it’s your place or mine, I treat every pet like family — with patience, gentleness, and attention to their unique needs.

“Book him now! He’s the best with my two kitties Luna and Stella. Takes amazing photos (seriously better than some of my own!). I can tell they are super happy with him! I come back and they are relaxed and content.”


“So I am a travel nurse working in Scottsbluff, and I have had the pleasure of Phelan taking fabulous care of my furbaby Remi. She is very passionate and loving and played a lot with my dog. I would definitely recommend her.”


“Christina was awesome, she was very reliable and took very good care of our cat, feeding and litter. She sent pictures each visit and tried each time to engage our cat, who unfortunately stubbornly decided to stay under a bed while she was there. We would definitely use her again.”

Second time using Lauren to care for my pup and she was fantastic! She sent lots of pictures and updates and took wonderful care of Keiko, thanks Lauren!

Kendra sent pictures everyday of my two cats and updated me everyday I highly recommend her she is very sweet! Came home to my cats well taken care of and she also fed my fish!

Shea was a wonderful sitter for our puppy, she loved her. We had a few last minute changes to our schedule and she was so flexible and accommodating. She also provided us with great updates after each visit and plenty of pictures. Would absolutely recommend her!!

Couldn’t be happier with the care Thor dog received! Kaelin went above and beyond to make sure he was comfortable, well-fed, and loved while I was away. From daily updates and adorable photos to thoughtful walks and playtime, it was clear my pup was in great hands.

Sara just took care of my very shy cat, Zoe, for two weeks. She sent pictures and Zoe warmed right up to her. This was my first experience with Rover and I was very pleased. If I am going out of town again I will definitely book with Sara.

Erin did a great job checking on my kitty and was very sweet in spending time with her and giving her attention.

I can always count on Kaitlyn to go above and beyond expectations. She made sure Kittie was well taken care of, gave get lots of attention, and even vacuums and cleans up the litter that falls out of the box without prompting. She does it on her own which days a lot. I fully trust her and feel confident my animals are taken care of and loved on when she's there!
