“Can’t recommend Alicia enough!! She was incredibly attentive to Indi while I was away and left amazing updates and I enjoyed all of the photos she left while I was away - not to mention she was able to book last minute when my usual sitter fell through. 10/10 will be reaching out to Alicia first for all future pet sitting needs!”
“Christine is excellent! What I like about her is she communicates well and clearly follows every instruction you ask her. Paris our cat was well taken care of. She was on time and updated if she's on her way and once she finished the drop-in. Definitely a trusted sitter! I will highly recommend her. Thank you so much Christine! :)”
“Maia went above and beyond!!! Not only was she so kind to my kitties but she even fixed my broken trash can and scooped when the booking was only for a drop by and feeding! My cats and I are very grateful and would absolutely book her again 😊”
“Brand new client and I booked 1-2 days before I needed Antonio. So I had a lot of instructions for him and he handled it without any hiccups and took care of the pups in some ways I didn’t specifically note. Would def book Antonio again. Thank you!”
“Kasey was absolutely amazing! I was able to schedule a meet and greet with her to go over everything prior to booking, which, as a first time Rover user, put me at ease. She was kind and patient with my kitties and followed all care instructions perfectly, and even sent picture updates and witty captions to help keep me informed while I was away. I will definitely rebook with her in the future!”
“Titan was sooo happy with Laura!! Great service all the way around. Baby boy was so calm when I came home to him. It was so clear that he received so much love!”
“Lillian was fantastic! She had great communication and sent lots of photos during each visit, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. She was punctual and stayed for the full 30 minutes with Juniper, making sure she had all her potty breaks, food, water, and attention. Juniper was clearly comfortable with her. I’ll definitely be booking with Lillian again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter!”
“Samantha was great! Communicated well, brought in packages - came back from a long trip to a safe home and a healthy cat! Will definitely be booking again for a couple shorter trips this year.”
“Coyote was well cared for and I really appreciated the sitter’s patience and communication throughout. She handled him kindly and responsibly. I would definitely recommend her for pups who need a little extra care & understanding.”
“Cindy was awesome! She was super communicative, took a lot of pics of Rosie and always sent detailed updates :) I’d highly recommend her for taking care of your animals !”
“Misha was very reliable, friendly, accommodated the special needs of my cats and myself, and was a great pet sitter!! I will definitely ask him to sit again!!!”
About: I have experience dog and cat sitting, including administering medications. I am a nurse so I won't be shy to give injections or check blood sugars. Whatever your babies need, I am here to provide! I usually only work 2-3 days a week, so I am free mostly anytime! On certain days I am able to come over after my shift ends at 7:30. I love caring for/spending time with animals of all shapes and sizes. It is really a treat to get to take care of new pets.
“Page took great care of my dog, Willow! This was Willow’s first Rover experience and I can tell she was very well taken care of which puts my mind at ease. I will definitely be booking with Page again in the future!”
“Madison went way above and beyond when caring for our doggo. We can’t wait to book her again in the future because we know she’ll take such good care of him and send us updates that put us at ease. Thank you!”
“John was very attentive and service-oriented. I appreciated his reports. Of course, the pictures are great assurance. This was our first engagement. I will call on him again.”
“Gil was so amazing! His drop off visits were always on time, full of fun, cute photos of my pets and he gave great updates. He is trustworthy and will not let you down! I will definitely use Gil again in the future!!”
“Caitlin did an excellent job petting setting for us. She took great care of Teddy and Toby, letting them get usebto her and come to her. We got good updates at each visit. We will be using her in the future if she is available.”
“Jillian was great and very sweet! We were around when she was caring for the dogs and she was amping them up and keeping them playful. Great pictures. We will use her again!”
West Gate pet parents share their Rover experiences
We couldn’t have asked for a better person to care for our dogs. From the moment Laura arrived, she was patient, calm, and incredibly attentive to their needs. Our dogs can be anxious, especially around new people, but she took the time to get to know them, build trust, and make them feel safe and comfortable. We really appreciate the patience she had with our most anxious dog, who took a bit longer to warm up to her. Laura went above and beyond in every way — not only giving them amazing care, but also being extremely respectful and clean around our home. She kept everything tidy, took initiative without us even asking, and treated our space as if it were her own. That level of care is rare and so appreciated. All of the pictures and detailed reports were so helpful and she really took a huge weight off of our shoulders so we could enjoy our vacation without worrying. We will definitely book with her again!
Ana was super sweet and helpful in watching our cat when our holiday plans changed at the last minute. Our cat absolutely loved her as Ana was caring and super playful. She was also a great communicator, sending the cutest pictures and updates. We'll definitely rebook with her in the future and would recommend her to anyone else!
Julia is the best!!! We were first time clients and she helped us in a pinch right before a holiday. She was so kind and professional throughout the whole process, shared many pictures, and was so responsive. Our house and cats have never looked better after coming home from a longer trip :) Cannot recommend Julia enough! <3
I thoroughly enjoyed reading Merlyn’s visit summaries each time as they were well thought out, showed true care, and had enough light comedy that you truly knew she cared for the fur babies. Great communication and prompt. Thank you so much for taking care of my kitties!
This was our second time having Rachel watch / check-in on our pets and once again she did a fantastic job! Her daily rover card notes and overall communication was detailed, clear and put us at ease while we were away from home. She again took excellent care of our fur friends and we would happily book with her again in the future!
Natalie was a great caretaker to our three cats while we were out of town. Always quick to communicate & flexible with some last minute changes which we appreciated. We got lots of cute photos of our cats & thorough updates while we were gone & our cats were happy & healthy when we returned, would definitely book with her again!
Kelsey is amazing! She helped me out last minute when my sitter cancelled on me and I was already out of town. My cats loved her right away, she sent me lots of updates & pics, helped clean the litter, and I so appreciate it! ❤️ Nothing but good things to say.
