“Susan was great taking care of my two dogs, one with medication needs, and the other one with many opinions. She checked on them for a couple of days and over time won their trust. I will definitely look for Susan next time I need someone to take care of my pups.”
“Taylor messaged and sent pictures from each visit. She kept us informed on how the dogs were doing and we were able to enjoy our short vacay knowing they were in good hands. Thanks!”
“Melissa was fantastic, she made sure that our doggo was well taken care of while we were out of town! I really appreciated how responsive she was when we checked in about how things were going and including lots photos of their walks in her reports. We knew Charlie was in great hands with her.”
“Taryn was wonderful! She was kind, respectful, and made me feel like taking care of my kitty wasn’t just a job. She made him feel really at home and he can be pretty shy. I loved seeing the daily pictures. She was very flexible with my schedule as well which I so appreciate!! Would definitely recommend to anyone and would book again for sure. This was my first time using Rover and it was a lovely experience with her.”
“Taylor did a great job! She communicated well and made the process very easy! It’s always hard to leave a pet, but I felt comfortable knowing she was here. Thanks Taylor!!”
“Nicole has watched my cat several times now. I highly recommend them! My cat is always healthy and happy when I come home despite long trips. Best cat sitter ever! 🙂”
“Super sweet to help out super last minute as we got stuck 10 hours away. Our poor babies had pooped inside and she picked it all up so we wouldn’t come back to a total mess. She was also amazing with our GSD who can be shy/timid. We will definitely use her again!!”
“Kayma is thorough, caring and detailed in her work. We had a complicated situation and Kayma was incredibly patient and understanding. They will be our first call for cat sitting in the future.”

“Keesha was a great sitter! She was took amazing care of our 12 year old Maine Coon. The daily drop ins for food, water and treats was just what our grumpy old man needed during our quick weekend away. Daily updates/photos put our minds at ease knowing he was in great hands. Highly recommend Keesha to care for your fur baby! We 100% will be using her again soon!”

“Samantha was EXCELLENT to work with when we had to change our plans last minute, and had an ill senior dog to boot. Her communication is very good, and I can tell from the photos and videos that she sent that our dogs and cat were very comfortable with her. You can trust Samantha to take great care of your fur babies!”
“Taylor did a fantastic job with my kitties! They both came out for her. She spent lots of quality time with them. My home looked and smelled clean when we got home from vacation, which never happens. She refilled my auto feeder when it got low and kept on top of the wet food and water refills. She even ran the vacuum and swept up litter kicked out of the box by my crazy young one. 10/10 recommend!”
“We had an excellent experience with Kara! From beginning to end, communication was prompt and meticulous. While we were away, she kept us completely at ease by sending lots of photos and detailed updates after each in-home visit. We especially appreciated how thorough she was in describing how each of our cats was doing—their moods, eating habits, playtime, and any little personality quirks that came up. She took the time to get to know our animals individually and cared about their comfort and routine. We would absolutely book with Kara again and recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and communicative pet sitter!”
“Morgan was great! She was able to help out on short notice and during her visits, she left detailed updates. I felt very comfortable knowing my husky, Bolt was in great hands while I was away.”
“Kadyn was amazing, she had very detailed reports and lots of photos. I can tell that my pup enjoyed her visits. I will hire her again if I need more pet sitting.”
“Ron took great care of our dogs over a five day period during a busy holiday season. His drop-in visits occurred in the schedule we had requested, and he managed the daily walks we had asked for in addition to the regular feeding, watering, and backyard visits. With all the real-time notices of his visits, and we were able to relax and enjoy our trip. Great experience!”
“My cat loves Rachel! I couldn't be happier with the care my pet received from Rachel. She was attentive, reliable, and made sure my pet felt comfortable and loved while I was away. I highly recommend Rachel to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter!”
Westside South pet parents share their Rover experiences
Cannot recommend Chandler enough. I was anxious about trying Rover for the first time for our 2 cats and she immediately put me at ease. We had a last minute trip out of the country and inquired with 3 different Rover options - Chandler was quick to respond to our inquiry and offered a meet & greet ahead of being out of town to put our minds at ease. We often want our cat sitters to stay/hang around longer as both of our cats are a bit anxious so really loved having the ability to book a longer stay and we received multiple photos every day! We will absolutely be booking Chandler again for our future trips.
We had an excellent experience with Kara! From beginning to end, communication was prompt and meticulous. While we were away, she kept us completely at ease by sending lots of photos and detailed updates after each in-home visit. We especially appreciated how thorough she was in describing how each of our cats was doing—their moods, eating habits, playtime, and any little personality quirks that came up. She took the time to get to know our animals individually and cared about their comfort and routine. We would absolutely book with Kara again and recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and communicative pet sitter!
This was my second time leaving my two cats in Rafaela's care, and I have no worries about them when she's watching them. They can be shy at times but they really seem to be comfortable with her. She sends great photos & updates, and communicates well. I highly recommend her!
Brittany took exceptional care of our cats! We have four cats with different needs and she was very attentive to all of them. I appreciated all the photos and very thorough updates on each pet! Very responsive and always kept us up to date on her arrival to our place. Highly recommend Brittany for your pet sitting needs and will be booking with her again!
This was our 2nd time booking with Avery, both times for a holiday away! She is amazing with our 2 cats and is so thorough and communicative, which has been such a necessity and relief for the care of our kitty boys who have anxiety and medical needs. Will rebook whenever possible!
Mr. Kenneth looked after Charlie while I was away and he was fantastic. He came ones a day, kept everything spotless, and sent me little updates and photos that honestly made my trip so much less stressful. Couldn’t ask for better – thank you! 5 stars, highly recommend.
