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!

Bernadette is amazing!!! It was my first time using Rover and first time having a stranger watch my pet rabbit. I was very worried about having someone in my apartment when I was away and very worried about my rabbit. Bunnies are very sensitive animals, and I can confidently say that she knows how to care for a rabbit!! I also find her very trustworthy! She did drop-ins to care for him. I left long, detailed instructions. Bernadette took the time to read and follow them all, which is super kind and amazing. She sent lots of photos and was very communicative throughout my time being away. I am so thankful I found her and am thankful for how she treated my bunny. It was a very easy smooth process. I will definitely use her for all my rabbit needs, and would highly recommend her for anyone!!!!

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

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’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.

About: I have had pets since I was little and have helped raise them. This sparked my interest in pet care. I love to help out other fellow animal lovers with their pets. I am currently a student at Pace University and am usually busy with studies, so pet care is a perfect flexible fit into my schedule. Being an animal lover I know a bunch about pet needs. I able to catch on quick to what your animal needs, and will be there to help you as an animal parent.

Mackenzie is great. She has watched my dog multiple times and always does an outstanding job. Between checking in, taking my dog Tara on many walks, and even going the extra mile to tidy up my home when Tara made a mess, she is just overall great- you can not go wrong booking her!

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!!
