I absolutely recommend Alex for pet sitting. We will definitely use Alex again!”
7. Jennifer K.
“Jennifer was wonderful! It was clear upon first meeting Jennifer that our pit Tallulah would be in good hands. She took great care of Tallulah over a long weekend – playing, taking her out to sun in the yard, and sending lots of photos. We will definitely be turning to Jennifer again in the future!”

“I was worried about leaving Penny because she is very clingy, but she was fine! Vanessa took great care of her, and even allowed Penny to sleep with her. I’m not sure Penny wanted to come home. We will definitely leave Penny with Vanessa again.”
10. Cori C.
“Cori is an amazing cat sitter! She has her own cat named Griffin who is just as kind and patient. My kitten hadn’t gotten much exposure being around other cats so I really appreciated her first interactions being with another friendly and calm cat. Cori gave plenty of check in’s and sent the most adorable videos and pictures that made me feel like my cat was with a family friend or right down the street. This was my first time using a cat sitter and Rover and I would 10/10 recommend!”
11. Jade M.
“Jade is great and professional! Our cat stayed two nights with her and end up missing his playmates (Jade's two cats) when the stay was over (he keeps sniffing the carrier and sleeping in it when we go home lol). Will trust Jade for any future cat sitting!”
12. Lesa H.
“We really appreciated Lesa being available to watch Millie during the holidays! Lesa sent us pictures and videos when we missed our puppy the most. Millie enjoyed her time with her!”
13. Austin & Wendy K.
“Wendy and Austin watched our girl Rylee and I couldn’t have left her with anybody better. Their two golden girls are the absolute sweetest and helped Rylee feel right at home. Rylee has some anxiety and their little one Bella is almost like a support animal for her. She came back clean and felt very soft. They had sent us some pictures of her getting brushed with their special vacuum and I might just have to get one for ourselves. They provide updates daily with pictures which was very much appreciated. They are the sweetest and I high recommend leaving your fur babies with them for they will be well taken care of and spoiled rotten!”
14. Dina G.
“So glad we found Dina. We have a senior fur baby that we were very concerned with leaving her with someone who may not understand the care for senior dogs. Dina was great! She was very accommodating and understanding of our needs. I would highly recommend her. We will be using her again.”
15. Christian G.
“Christian is so great with our puppy.”
16. YESENIA N.
“Yesenia did a wonderful job taking care of my dog and cat in my home while I was away for a week recently. My pets warmed up to her immediately and she gave them no shortage of cuddles, attention, and treats while she was there. I greatly appreciated the all the photos and great communication as well as the care and respect my house itself. I would definitely recommend Yesenia as a petsitter for anyone in the area!”
17. Betsy S.
“Betsy was truly incredible with our dog, Ozzy! It was his first stay away from home (COVID dog) and he had so much fun with Betsy and her furry crew. Her texts and pics put us all at ease and saved us from worry. I'd recommend Betsy wholeheartedly as a caregiver!! We so much appreciate the care and attention she gave to Ozzy.”
18. Cynthia C.
“Cynthia was awesome with Ziggy… she sent me pics and updates daily and I can tell she really enjoys spending time with animals.so glad I found her and will definitely use her again!!!”
