“Elaine is a wonderful pet care taker! I booked her for multiple days as a home visit for my 2 Schnauzers while I was away and my husband worked during the day. The pups are used to me being home during the day so Elaine really provided the attention they needed. She was prompt, meticulous about staying the full time, gave the pups lots of attention, and communicated daily. Will definitely book her again.”
“Thank you to Isaac for taking such good care of our Chelsea the cat. He is very kind and respectful of the animals boundaries. It was reassuring to know she would be well taken care of while we weren’t home. If anyone needs an animal sitter, contact Isaac, very nice young man.”
“Ashley has been SO wonderful! Luigi loves her visits and playing with her. She always sends thorough updates, and she takes the time to make sure that he gets what he needs during her visits, including love and playtime! I feel so thankful to have found her, and knowing that Luigi is in good hands has been a blessing. Ashley is the BEST!!”
“Annelise is awesome! She agreed to watch my 3 kitties last minute and on a holiday week. She is attentive to your pets and gives them lots of love. She treated both my animals and my house with respect. I've already booked with her again!”
“Lois was absolutely amazing with our dogs and cats! She took her time with them and they warmed up so fast with her! She is great at communication and pictures which we appreciate because we miss our fur babies so much when we are away from them. We 100% recommend her to take care of your fur babies while you’re gone. ☺️”
“Ava went above any expectations I had while caring for my two pomskys one being a baby that is potty training and learning that biting isn’t nice. She picked up and cleaned that I hadn’t even asked of her.”
“Celia is a natural with animals and was wonderful with my boys from start to finish! We were gone for 6 weeks but knew the whole time that our cats were in the best hands. 🤍 Thank you for taking great care of our fur babies and even going out of your way to make sure our home was in order! I highly recommend Celia to anyone looking for a responsible, communicative, loving pet sitter.”
“I have had Alexandra drop in with my dogs twice now, both times on relatively short notice. She was as extremely kind and flexible in being willing and able to help me on short notice and Lenny absolutely loved her. Nikita is a bit barky and Alexandra was not nervous or apprehensive, she handled her extremely well and within minutes Nikita was loving on her. I have never had a better experience having someone care for my animals in my absence , I felt extremely comfortable and very confident in her abilities. Going forward she will be the only person I reach out to when I need help with my dogs, thank you so much Alexandra!”
“Josh was an absolutely fantastic cat sitter for my cat, Milo. While I was away, Milo was clearly well cared for: he was fed, had plenty of fresh water, and his litter box was clean. What meant the most to me was coming home to a calm, happy cat. Milo can sometimes get anxious when I’m gone, but this time he seemed completely at ease, which really speaks to the level of care and attention Josh provided. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing Milo was in such good hands. I would highly recommend Josh to anyone looking for a reliable, attentive, and genuinely caring pet sitter!”
“Thank you for taking care of our fur babies! Jessica was awesome and very reliable. She followed every instruction we left and never really needed extra guidance (which we wouldn’t have minded) but it was nice to enjoy our vacation knowing our pets were in good hands. Thank you so much again, will definitely use you again for any future trips.”
“Ebony has been a life saver for my family and I! My dogs are getting old and cannot be left home alone for extended period of time without some love and a potty break. She comes to my house every day that I work and does just that. My dogs get excited and meet her at the door, knowing that they are going to get some attention and a well deserved walk around the block. She has even brought over another 4 legged friend for my pups to enjoy some time with! She is very trustworthy, respects your home and your animals, and I cannot recommend her enough.”
About: I’ve grown up with 3 pups of my own who are back home in Philadelphia while I’m in medical school! My roommate of 4 years had a senior cat of her own, so I am well versed in the needs of both cats and dogs. :) I’m currently in medical school, so my days and nights are flexible! Dropping in on some furry friends or spending the night with them is something I’d love to be able to do when not studying :) I’ll treat your pets like my own! They’ll get all the hugs, kisses, and snuggles - whatever they need. Safety is my priority and they will be treated like family.
“Ashlei was great! She cared for our cat as much as she could for a full week. She didn't know she was up against the hide and seek champion. Still, professional and nice, she also cared for our fish. She was easy to work with and made sure to understand our needs and our cats'. Thank you! 🫶”
“Danielle sent a picture of my cat every morning so that I could see how contented and happy she looked. Super job, Danielle, and I will be calling on you again the .nextt time I need to be away.”
About: I have lived with both dogs and cats my entire life and would consider myself an expert on both. I have a lot of experience with tending to elderly dogs as well as dealing with some temperamental cats. I already dedicate time to taking care of my tabby cat. This involves feeding him, getting him lots of exercise, changing cat litter and more. I am able to help with whatever is necessary in caring for pets including feeding, changing water, playing, taking out to the bathroom, and even walks.
“Stacy always takes such good care of my cat. I’ve used her for years and my very shy cat warms right up to her every time I’m away. Your pets are in good hands with Stacy!”
West Melbourne cat parents share their Rover experiences
She was an absolutely amazing Rover. I had recently moved to the area and always wary about leaving my fur babies on especially short notice. She helped me understand what the process was. She helped me update the sitting schedule. Her check-ins were beyond what I had expected. So happy that it went smooth.
Fen was great! She was thoughtful and understood his needs. She had initiative and good suggestions. She updated me in everything. I felt at Peace knowing she was there, even though he is a shy ca that hides when he doesn’t know the person she could void on the predictablity she provided and ate and used the litter normally showing he was relaxed.Thank you Fen!
Wendy watched my partner’s 3 cats while we were on vacation. She came over each day and pet and fed them and made sure their litter boxes are clean. Every day we got an update and pictures and this was a huge relief for us. Knowing they were well taken care of was worth it! Thank you Wendy.
Max W. did an outstanding job taking care of our cats. Wyatt and Winter are rescue cats and can be skittish around strangers. Max has a wonderful touch and quickly earned the trust of both of them. Since it often takes much longer for cats to feel comfortable with new people, we were especially grateful that Max made them feel safe and at ease while we were away. The care was perfect, and we will absolutely book Max again for our next trip!
Lois did an incredible job taking care of my trio of cats while my daughter and I were visiting family. She was attentive and professional, and showed both knowledge and care of handling animals from the time she was introduced to my pets and home all of the way through the last visit. She went above and beyond what I expected. I cannot recommend her highly enough!
Kia did a wonderful job. She even fed my fish and took the time to brush my cat which is so important to her. She sent me great pictures as well. Really enjoyed my vacation so much more because Kia always updated me on how things were going with my pets. Will definitely use her again.
