“Great review came same day! Really clutch and appreciated it”
2. Sienna L.
“Sienna did a wonderful job making sure our 3 month- old puppy was taken care of during my workday. It was his first time staying home for the day and I felt relieved and less anxious to know he was in great hands. Sienna stayed longer than I originally asked her to on a short notice and I couldn’t appreciate it more. Know your baby will be in the best care with her💗”
3. Emma S.
“Emma is great with pets! She is patient and calm. She has the energy to keep your pets entertained. She loves to walk our border collie. Short or long walks she responds to the energy of the pet. I trust her to walk, feed, play and clean up after any pet. In addition to dogs, she has experience with birds and hamsters.”
4. Barbara G.
“Barbara was great! We had her stop by to let our dogs out while we went out of town. She sent pictures with each visit, filled us in on how dogs were doing, at the meet & greet asked lots of questions so she knew more what to expect. Took the dogs for walks and let them play around for awhile before putting them back in kennels. Treated them like we would have. One of our dogs is pretty timid around other people, even she warmed quickly to Barbara. We would definitely recommend her to anyone needing a dog sitter and/or have her watch our again!”
5. Harley Z.
“Harley was great! My cat can be shy, and she did an amazing job with her. My cat seemed to love the visits and cuddles while I was out of town! Would definitely book with Harley again.”
6. Craig V.
“First time meeting Craig we were happy we chose him. He was quick in responses, asked questions, vey prompt, and warmed up to our dogs immediately! Would definitely recommend him.”
7. Branden K.
“Branden is a very responsible and loving pet caregiver! He is great with communication and great with following instruction when it comes to caring for your fur babies. I would recommend him as a caregiver to anyone!”
8. Jackie M.
“If you are looking for reliable and affordable pet care in your home, you should contact Jackie with Whiskers and Beaks. We have been using Jackie for a year now and are very happy with her services. Our Elphie is quite a skittish kitty and runs to hide under a bed when anyone comes to our home. Jackie was so patient with Elphie. She laid on the floor and calmly sweet talked to Elphie, slowly trying to coax her out. She did such an amazing job making Elphie feel safe enough to trust her, that she now stays out for Jackie's visits! She just loves her snuggles, ear rubs and head butts from Jackie. I truly appreciate the pictures I get with every visit. She gives me peace of mind for worry-free travel. We are so blessed to have found Whiskers and Beaks, as Jackie is trustworthy, kind, caring and well, just awesome! If you want exceptional and dependable care for your pet, in your home, I highly recommend Jackie with Whiskers and Beaks.”
9. Rebecca B.
“I had a fantastic experience with Rebecca. She took very good care of my kitty while i was gone and even assisted me when i locked myself out of my house! I would definitely book with her again. Thank you Rebecca!”
10. Amber Z.
“I am extremely happy with the care that Amber gave to our cat while we were on vacation. I didn’t want to take her to a kennel because pet’s have an easier time being in their own home. She went above and beyond to make sure she was doing ok and spent time with her so she didn’t feel neglected. Definitely will get her again and recommend her to anyone.”
11. Becky D.
“Becky is absolutely superb with our dogs!!!! We are so lucky to have her as part of our doggie care! Our dogs are very happy with her. And we feel confident they are getting top quality care.”
12. Clarissa H.
“This was my first time getting a pet sitter for my 2 kitties, one of which is ill. Clarissa and Adam were great with them. I received updates and pictures with each visit which put my mind at ease. They took the time to socialize with them which was great! I would choose them again. Thanks for taking such good care of my boys!”
13. Libby K.
“Libby is my go to pet sitter for so many reasons! She is very good with my two dogs, they absolutely adore her. She is great with communication & even taught our puppy some tricks while dog sitting :) my dogs have high anxiety and she even comes to stay at their familiar home to help ease that, along with knowing how to handle their anxious behaviors! I would recommend her to anyone!”
14. Cassandra R.
“Cassandra has looked after my American Bulldog "Boze" on multiple occasions. My dog loved spending time with her, and was always treated amazing (even spoiled :) I would absolutely recommend Cassandra as a dog-sitter.”
15. Isabella C.
“Isabella is an amazing animal care taker. Her love for animals is clear in the way she shows up for them. She specifically has cared for dogs, cats, and fish in our home and I know they are loved when she is around them. I would HIGHLY recommend her to anyone looking for any type of pet care!”
16. Mahala P.
“Mahala loves animals so much she is getting a degree in Wildlife Management and Ecology. She's had pets her whole life, plus has extensive experience working with animals as a Veterinary Assistant and Doggie Day Care. She is responsible, caring, compassionate and loving with animals of all kinds. She is the quintessential animal magnet - when she is around a dog or cat, they sense she is a kind, fun, loving person to be with and they eagerly gravitate to her. I guarantee she will take excellent care of your beloved pet and they will be excited to see her next time too!”
17. Sabrina S.
“I've known Sabrina since she was in kindergarten with our daughter. (25 years) She is definitely a responsible, sweet, kind introvert that LOVES dogs. She's one of the smartest people I know with a soft heart for animals. Did I mention her love of DOGS? She has watched our dogs on numerous occasions and they would have gladly gone home with her after her stay. I would highly recommend her!”
18. Peri C.
“Very prompt responses, our meet n greet went well, my babies seemed to love Peri!!! I loved the pictures and I know my babies were in great hands! First time using Rover and super impressed!!”
19. Morgan L.
