“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. Andrea B.
“Andrea was super kind and communicative, and really patient with our relatively high energy/touch sensitive dog. I really appreciated her taking the time to let me explain her care during our M&G. She sent pictures regularly and played Mizzy's favorite games with her! I'd absolutely book with Andrea again :)”
3. Rachel T.
“Rachel was an amazing pet sitter! I needed someone to pet sit while I visited my boyfriend long distance for a month. I have a ball Python and Yellow Belly Slider Turtle and two Cats. My cats loved her and i got so many cut pictures of them all while I was away. I had a sort of crazy event happen while I was gone and Rachel did everything she could to help while I was unable to. I was worried leaving them all for month as I've rarely left them home, and now I know I have someone I can trust to take care of them all if I ever need to be away for that long again.!”

“Brianna is just wonderful. She took great care of my two kitties. She is kind, patient and very communicative. I have a very shy kitty and she warmed up to Brianna quickly.

13. 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!
14. Rachel L.
“Rachel's compassion towards animals is bar none. Her dogs Oscar and Rosie are well fed, healthy and happy pets. She provides them with regular exercise and enrichment opportunities and has a great read on their personalities, always being keen to accommodate their quirks in a graceful manner.”
15. Claudia C.
“Claudia responded very quickly to all of our questions and took the time for a pre-visit before her first drop-in to make sure that our dog was familiar with her. She also has a very calming manner, which was helpful with our anxious hound. We highly recommend her!”
16. Erica H.
“My cat does not warm up to everyone but he loved Erica! What a relief to me! First time leaving him and 9 days is a long time. I truly appreciated the daily communication.”
17. 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.”
18. 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.”
19. Sarah B.
“Sarah was great! Good with our dog and patient with me as a new Rover user.”
20. Brandy T.
“She was amazing with our dog Frodo! We really enjoyed the pictures of her visiting our dog.”
