“Jasmine was great! She was not able to find my cat all of the time but she still sent pictures showing she was dropping in and tried very hard to catch my cat on camera. She even did the litter box even though I forgot to put that on the instructions.”

“Rachel is fantastic, personality and professional ! My cats love her. I would love to use Rachel every time, and I hope she’s available when I could use a sitter again. You’re Great Rachel!! Novalee”

“Kallie was a great sitter. She was able to connect quickly with me when I had to go out of town last minute. Ragnar was well taken care of. Would recommend her to folks looking for a pet sitter and would use her again.”

“Holland was A B S O L U T E L Y wonderful, this was my first Rover experience, and I couldn't be happier. The photos & reviews she gave were detailed and joyful, I can tell my baby was well cared for and enjoyed her time with Holland. I will definitely be using her services again !”

“I highly recommend Kay as an excellent cat-sitter! My grumpy cat was obviously comfortable with Kay from the start. I really appreciated receiving pictures and short commentary on their time together while I was away! Also, Kay approached all aspects of booking and logistics professionally and with good cheer.”

About: I've been around dogs my entire life and have cared for my own golden retriever, Sunny, since he was a puppy. Sunny is now 5 years old, well-behaved, and friendly with other pets. My experience includes daily walks, playtime, and creating a safe, loving environment for dogs of all temperaments. I work from home full-time, which means your pet will get plenty of attention and supervision throughout the day. I walk Sunny twice daily—morning and evening—and love spending time outdoors. My schedule is flexible, so I can accommodate a variety of pet care needs, including drop-ins, walks, or overnight stays. I live in a one-level ranch-style home with a fully fenced-in backyard, perfect for safe outdoor play. My home is quiet, clean, and pet-friendly. Sunny is gentle and social, making him a great companion for visiting pets. I treat every dog like family and prioritize their comfort and safety.
“I was extremely hesitant to leave my cats with a stranger - my cats are my children in a lot of ways - but as soon as I met Kylie it reassured me I made a good choice as to who I can trust with my two boys. She made me feel relaxed, at ease and was extremely reliable/communicative. She obviously has had a lot of experience caring for animals/pets and it showed; there was not a moment that I felt uneasy. She stayed longer than she needed to and was very attentive my cats needs. I will definitely be booking future rover visits with her again! She’s the best!”

“Thank you for caring for my kitties! We don't like leaving them behind, however we are happy to know that if we travel there's someone to look out for them and make their vacations fun as well! 💛”

“Deanna was great! I was away longer than usual but felt confident all was well because of Deanna’s detailed updates. Everything was perfect when I came back. I would definitely use her again.”

“Danyelle is AMAZING!!! Took such great care of my boys over a holiday. Gave me daily updates and even put up with some of their eating "quirks", which isn't always easy. But she was super patient with them and gave them all the love they needed while I was gone. I was so super happy and relaxed to know they were in such great and caring hands. Heck, even just the trek to my trash can for litter box cleaning was an extra effort in and it's self. Can't recommend Danyelle enough!”

About: I have taken care of neighbor, friends and families dogs for the past 4 years. I’m experienced in staying over, feeding your pets, playing and giving pets care over long weekends or for a short check up. I have worked with pets who have needed medicines at allotted times ie. at breakfast or dinner times. I also have experience with using an e-collar. I love to make your pet feel as comfortable as if you had never left! Currently I have a part time job and am a college student but with I have a lot flexibility, I am able to work around my schedule so it can work out for the both of us. I am able to take your dogs on walks or to the dog park. I also am able to crate them after we have returned from activities.
“I’m so glad I chose to book with Devinder! I’ve been blown away by his responsiveness, flexibility, communication, and clear love for pets :) He’s very professional, but also comes across like a friend who’s always down to help you out and care for your pets like they’re his own. I trust him with my pets for the long haul!”

“Riley is a wonderful sitter! She has taken care of my cat many times and each time she shares lots of updates, pictures, and gives such wonderful care to my cat. I will recommend her to anyone and everyone looking for a pet sitter!”

“Wonderful experience! My pup was well cared for, and I appreciated the great communication and all the photo updates throughout the stay. Highly recommend!”

Cat provided exceptional care for my kitty while I was out of town for a few days. She provided great communication from the time I booked her services through my return home. My kitty loved her and she clearly has a natural way with animals. Her professionalism, attention to detail, and knowledge of pet care are outstanding and I will absolutely book her services again!

Rachel came highly recommended by a friend who said she was the best pet sitter she had ever used, and after meeting her, I immediately understood why. Before my trip, Rachel asked all the right questions, was attentive, and clearly detail-oriented. My cat warmed up to her right away. Throughout her visits, she was communicative and thorough in her updates, and I returned to a spotless home. Most importantly, I came back to an incredibly happy cat. I can’t recommend Rachel enough!

Emma was great! She took excellent care of our two cats. She got to know each of them, their specific behaviors and catered to them. Emma was communicative and gave us detailed information about how they were doing. We felt very comfortable being far away with our cats in Emma’s care. Thank you!
