1. Carolina R.
“Carolina looked after our dog and cat for six days while my household was out of town. She did a great job! Both pets are standoffish by nature but they warmed up gradually over the week. I received regular updates and felt reassured while I was gone.”
2. Latisha W.
“Latisha showed up right on time each visit and sent the cutest photos of my kitties. The most amazing part was that my most skittish kitty came out from hiding to see her on the first visit, which means he must have felt comfortable around her energy. She is now my go-to for all my pet sitting needs. I’m so grateful I found her!”
3. Kristin D.
“Kristin took great care of my two cats while I was gone! She followed all instructions very well and did a great job administering an inhaler to my cat with asthma which is not an easy task!”
4. Danielle T.
“Danielle is one of those people you like from the moment you meet them! I was a nervous new Rover-er, but quickly felt at ease during out meet and greet. It was clear that she new how to approach a cat and would take excellent care of my 2-year-old tuxedo, Zelda. She provided detailed updates (and cute Zelda photos!) and was always prompt and clear with her communication. I will definitely reach out to her any time Zelda needs a friend to come play wand toy. Thank you, Danielle!!”
5. Monica M.
“Monica did a great job taking care of our cat. She was on time and responsive and very friendly with us and our cat. I highly recommend hiring her to take care of your pet!”
6. Katrina W.
“Kat did a wonderful job taking care of our dog over Thanksgiving and was a pleasure to work with. Great communication, detailed notes each visit and we loved the pictures of our pup throughout the day.”
7. Gavin D.
“So grateful for Gavin taking such good care of my pup while I had a work meeting. He always follows up with a pic so I can see her happy face and I feel comforted that she is in great hands. Happy to have found someone like Gavin!”
8. Ralph R.
“I never thought anyone could handle my Felicia, but Ralph proved me wrong!!! She's such a grumpy little princess, I swear. At first, it was just feed n' scoop for the poor guy, but by the end? Felicia actually let him PET HER!!! 😱✨ That's like, a certified miracle in my book. Thx so much, Ralph! You're the cat whisperer we needed!!!”
9. Kimberly M.
“Thanks, Kim! Very responsive and we loved the pics. Would 100% work with her again.”
10. Alex S.
“Alex is so sweet and reliable! She makes you feel at ease with your pet in her hands! 😊”
11. Sabrina M.
“Sabrina watched my babies while I went away for a few days. I have never used Rover before and I’d recommend Sabrina especially if you’re hesitant leaving your babies with anyone. She made me feel very comfortable and I knew my dogs would be well taken care of. She even came over before the trip so she could meet the dogs and vice versa to make sure they would be okay with her. Will definitely use Sabrina’s services again on future trips!”
12. Shai & Norman T.
“All my furbabies absolutely love Shai! She used to watch my 18 year old shih tzu who had special senior needs (blind, deaf, dementia) and always made sure that he was comfortable, safe, and happy. Now, she helps care for my 2 year old lab/pit mix when I'm out of town and provides her with lots of playtime and snuggles! My pup adores Shai and always looks forward to visiting her. On a rare occasion, she also drops in for my 2 cats to give them their food, play with them, and give them lots of love. For being an anxious pet mom, Shai makes sure to send constant updates and photos on all my babies and lets me go on vacation without having to worry. There's truly no one else I'd trust with my babies than Shai!”
13. Jane L.
“As a dedicated fur mom, I confidently endorse Jane. Her skill and attentiveness to animals are outstanding. It’s comforting to know she is always available to help. Jane is not only trustworthy but also incredibly kind and reliable—truly the best!”
14. Evelyn H.
“Evelyn is amazing! She does a great job with our very difficult boys. She’s an excellent communicator and a very responsible walker. We’ll be hiring her again shortly!”
15. Siena F.
“Siena is a wonderful caregiver to both cats and dogs. She has such a gentle spirit around animals, and I've seen them adore her. She has watched my very high maintenance dog multiple times and he has had the best time with her. I've known Siena for many years and she is such a responsible and kind person, who I recommend to petsit/housesit to everyone I know!”
16. Alyssa H.
“Alyssa was great with the drop-in visits for our cats (even when one of them had bad attitude). She communicated well throughout. Overall, we recommend her and will rebook again in the future.”
17. Shana D.
“Shana is always great and easy to work with regarding either of my pets & I know they look forward to time with her as well!”
18. Jennifer C.
“Jenny's love and care for our 4 legged friends knows no bounds! She was great interacting with our loved one and showed high canine emotional acuity!”
19. Shayna W.
“Both my dog and visiting dog were calm when I arrived home. Nothing amiss in the house either! Shayna did a great job caring for them. Will use her again!”
20. Kayla S.
“I was nervous about leaving my cat Bella with someone new, but Kayla exceeded all my expectations. Her professionalism and deep understanding of feline behavior were evident. Bella was calm and happy when I returned, thanks to Kayla's great care. I wish she was still in Sacramento so she can care for my baby, but whoever gets her is lucky!!”
