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!!!!

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!

Ella is the biggest dog lover I have ever met. She owns two corgis and holds them on the highest pedestal any living thing can stand on. On top of her love for pets, she is extremely responsible and disciplined. Both at school in NYU, and with her dogs back home, Ella never fails to accomplish her daily goals. There is truly nobody I would rather have walk my dog.

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

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.

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.

About: I own a chocolate lab i’ve raised him since he was a puppy he’s now 2 years old and is a very good boy but at the end of the day he’s still a silly lab. I’m a student so I have a lot of free time in between classes and on the weekends to walk/ care for your dog 🐕 I’m very gentle and will take your dog on long walks, play with them all day nap with them and do anything you want me to do with them!

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!!

Mackenzie recently looked after my two year old Golden, Seamus, for a weekend. I could not speak higher of her professionalism and care for Seamus. Although this was the first time I have left my pup for any period of time, Mackenzie settled my nerves by providing plenty of updates to keep me in the loop and ensure he was happy and well cared for! I can't recommend her enough!

Yimiao took great care of my cats while I was away! This was my first time having a car sitter and she put all my anxiety to rest by sending pictures and updates about how they were doing. She even came by before the appointment and I walked through their routine and favorite toys, hiding places, etc. while she was picking up keys.
