“You can tell that Jessica adores cats. She was prompt, professional, and had excellent communication skills. If I need someone to watch my cats again, I'll definitely ask Jessica first.”
2. Rachel T.
“Rachel was amazing with my two cats! I was so nervous to leave them with someone new, but Rachel was so great. She left descriptive, funny summaries after each visit, and shared pictures of my boys showing them having a great time playing! I would recommend Rachel to anyone looking for a pet sitter!”
3. Andrea B.
“Andrea is absolutely wonderful with our special needs boy! Petey only has 3 legs and although he has a ton of energy he cannot do as much as he would like due to injury in his remaining back leg. Andrea is very flexible and accommodating to Petey and ensures that he never overdoes it! She is always looking for ways to tire him out though enrichment activities which do not require Petey exerting too much physical effort! Andrea is great with our other dog as well, ensuring that he gets lot of attention and physical play. She can juggle both without any issues. I've highly recommended Andrea to friends and neighbors!”
4. tori c.
“Tori was excellent!!! She was prompt, professional and friendly all at the same time!! She treated my (kids) like family and reached out to keep me posted or pose any questions. I was able to truly enjoy my vacation knowing they were in her care- (which is not easy for me)- HIGHLY RECOMMEND and will definitely be using her again when needed.”
5. Leeann H.
“Leeann was wonderful with our dog and cat once again! She provided a detailed summary and it is clear that she gave our furry girls excellent care and attention on her visit. Thank you Leeann!! We always feel comfortable leaving our pets in your hands and will book again!”

7. Michelle B.
“Michelle did an absolutely phenomenal job! She was extremely responsive & communicative -- the many photos she sent each visit made it very clear that our babies felt safe and comfortable with her. She followed instructions perfectly and left everything tidy for our return. I couldn't be happier that I've found a forever sitter for my babies! I highly recommend Michelle and rate the overall service with Rover as excellent. Thank you! 😻😻😻”

“Sherrill was amazing with our senior dogs. Very patient and kind. She sent updates and pictures throughout her time with our babies.”

10. Madeline G.
“Madeline took care of our goldendoodle, Waldo, while we were on vacation. She was so communicative with us the entire time we were gone - sending pictures and giving us plenty of updates on how Waldo was doing. When we picked him up, it was clear he was a totally happy camper and felt very comfortable and well loved while we were away. We highly recommend Madeline and are so grateful for her help with our pup!”
11. Christina T.
“Absolutely amazing, Christina was a delight to have. This was our meet and greet to see how my dogs would react and our Leo being a friendly hyper boy who jumps she reacted greatly and she used proper commands/reactions with him. She handled it very well. Honey laid by her as she was calm and patient with her. Honey gave her little potty dance and showed Christina the type of dog she truly is! We will absolutely bring Christina back and we appreciate her and her patience. She was kind and respectful of my feelings/wants for my animals. Thank you again and we can’t wait to see you again!”
12. Mary P.
“Mary was very understanding and patient with my pets giving them the space they needed to warm up to her and then become happy and excited when she visited. I am so thankful for this and would gladly recommend her to others!”
13. Anna H.
“Anna was very conscientious about visiting daily over a ten-day period and documenting her visits in great detail. She shared great photos and took great care of our cat. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again!”
14. Rachel L.
“I have known Rachel for more than a decade and have experienced how she is first hand with both her own dogs as well as others. She is great at reading dog body language and has a knack for training. She's helped me with insight with my own dog. She would absolute be a responsible and reliable pet sitter that anyone would be lucky to have. She is kind, cautious and courteous with both humans and animals.”
15. Jamie M.
About: I have always had at least two dogs in my home growing up, and have been with them through every stage of life (except newborn). With this I became very accustomed and comfortable being around, taking care of, and entertaining dogs. I also work for Woofie’s, a pet care organization that offers pet grooming, dog walking, and pet sitting, as a dog walker and pet sitter! I am only comfortable with small to medium size dogs! I am currently a college student, so my mornings are usually full and my availability can vary some weekdays. I am available all times over most, if not all, weekends. Contact me for exact availability! I cannot offer care for pets in my home due to my apartment lease agreement but for care in a client homes, I can do whatever is needed. Walks, feeding, water, clean up, medicine needs. Just let me know what you need and I can do it!
16. Katie A.
“Katie has been a friend for a decade. Whenever my wife and I go on vacation, she is our 100% go to girl for taking care of our old black lab Gracie. Katie loves animals of all shapes and sizes, and gives them all the perfect amount of attention. For our Gracie, Katie takes her on daily walks. (Long ones when she's feeling energetic, and short ones when her hips are acting up.) I would trust her with my pet.”
17. Erica H.
“Erika did a wonderful job with my older, blind, indoor kitty, and the feral cats that I take care of outdoors. She sent me pictures of all of them each time, gave me updates to let me know how they were eating, and the medicine that my one kitty needed to take each day. She also picked up the mail and newspaper for us daily. I would highly recommend her to anyone who needs a great cat sitter!”
18. Sarah B.
“Sarah was attentive, kind, and helped us feel at ease with letting her into our home and spending time with our pup!”
19. Nicolacia N.
“Nico did a great job for us and Tess. We had a different situation than your standard dog walk or drop in. We were out of town and my sister stayed at the house with Tess. She works all day, so we needed to have Tess picked up in the morning and taken to doggie day care. Then we needed her picked up in the afternoon and returned home. She is a high energy dog and staying home alone all day would have been stressful for her and difficult for my sister. Also, Tess is not a happy go lucky, lovey dovey dog. She is a rescued blue heeler...so having someone come in the house and take her away could be touchy. Well, Nico came for a meet and greet...she and Tess got along great. Nico did the driving back and forth for several days. She and Tess became friends. This worked out great for us. Thank you, Nico. We will be booking her again for our next trip.”
20. Brandy T.
“She was amazing with our dog Frodo! We really enjoyed the pictures of her visiting our dog.”
