Carolyn was great! She loved Oppy, sent pictures of her playing with him daily, and he was happy as could be when I came back! She was also very flexible and understanding with the timing of when to come see Oppy and some confusion due to me having old kitten food still out. I really appreciate her communicativeness and understanding as I guided her to the correct food to use. Would definitely recommend as a cat sitter!

Victoria is awesome with my dog Toby! He loves the extra (and long!) walks he gets with her. She’s great about sending lots of picture updates and setting up Toby’s meals which require some extra steps since he’s a picky eater.

Annie is the best person I could ever ask for to watch my cat when I’m gone. She’s super experienced with cats and particularly FIV+ cats which reassured me. Not only would she go above and beyond with food, water, and litter maintenance, but she spent time cuddling and playing with my cat as if he were her own. 100000% recommend her for your cat

Elizabeth was great to work with! She fed our two cats while we were away and did a great job. We met her before we went away and she was nice and friendly. She sent us pictures each visit. We’d absolutely have her watch our cats again!

Julia is my roommate and has a 6 year old dog who she’s raised since he was a puppy. She loves all animals and is extremely responsible. She is very reliable and you never have to worry about communicating with her and trusting that your pet is safe with her. I am a long time Rover sitter myself and would absolutely recommend Julia to others if I ever couldn’t take a booking.

I highly recommend Natalie as a pet caregiver for Rover. Natalie has always been incredibly responsible, reliable, and loving towards furry friends. She takes the time to understand the unique needs of each pet and goes above and beyond to make sure they feel comfortable and happy. Anyone would feel at ease leaving their dog with Natalie and know that they are in excellent hands. I would recommend Natalie to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring.

I’ve already reviewed her, but the app is asking me to do so again. She’s the best. You should always hire her. She’s thoughtful and goes above and beyond each time. Even my doorman tells me how lovely she is when she comes. I literally cannot more highly recommend her.

I couldn’t rant and rave about Victoria more. Not only is she personally the sweetest person ever. But he love for my car Fred was above and beyond. She was very communicative during all visits and even went above and beyond and cleaned and kept Fred’s area nice and tidy! I even have referred her to other people already and they all have said raving things as well. I’m so blessed I found her!

Steven was an absolutely amazing sitter for our two cats. He took such great care of them and always made sure to get some pretty amazing pics. Our cats can be a bit shy, but they both seemed to love him. I’d trust Steven 110% with our cats anytime! Will definitely rebook! He’s the best.

Kaitlyn was so amazing with my kitties!! I would consider myself a fairly concerned pet parent and I always worry about my babies when I’m away, but Kaitlyn made me feel soo much better. She is extremely kind and conscientious and gives very detailed notes and photos! It is clear that she is very thoughtful in her visits and a true animal lover! Thank you!!
