“Jose did an amazing job with Marley! I was able to leave an entire week without having to worry once. Was always on time and walked my dog to the park every time. Marley loved Jose, so much so Marley was playing fetch with sticks which I’ve never seen him do! Jose also took amazing pictures at every check in”

5. Clyanna L.
“Clyanna was fantastic with our cat!! He's notoriously grumpy but was playing with her after just a day or two or getting to know her, which is high praise from our orange boy! Clyanna was communicative, friendly, and so kind with Roo, especially during the holidays when we couldn't be with him. We will definitely work with her again!”
6. Ewan E.
“Returned to a calm happy pup, thanks to yet again Ewan’s professional and loving care of our dog. The pics he sent during each visit documented his thoroughness and kindness and even made us laugh at some of the facial expressions he captured. Sign him up for your next canine coverage needs - just not on the days in need him 😉!”

11. Eleanor W.
“Eleanor is terrific! She was very conscientious about knowing how to administer my cats’ medicines. When I returned from my trip, my house was as orderly as when I left it. Most importantly, she has a real affinity for animals. My cats loved her. One of them is very reserved but I could tell from the notes and pictures she posted on Rover that he warmed up to her very quickly. I felt very comfortable having left my cats in her capable hands.”

“Rachel was great and made me comfortable leaving my cats for a week. She sent me pictures and videos like I asked for and seemed to genuinely enjoy spending time with my cats :) Rachel kept an eye on heat warnings in the area and adjusted my AC and fan accordingly & recognized when the cats would enjoy some open-window fresh air which I really appreciated. I would definitely ask Rachel to cat sit again in the future!”
17. Jennifer S.
“Jennifer has one of the most caring and gentle hearts I know! Aside from this innate quality of hers, on a professional level, she is reliable and extremely hardworking. Her love for animals also runs deep, as she has cared with patience and love for her own pets. This love and attention would carry over to any pet she is able to care for! I could not recommend Jennifer more!”

“I highly recommend Abby for any pet sitting or care needs! Abby has an incredible gift when it comes to working with both cats and dogs. She is extremely comfortable around animals and brings a wealth of experience to her pet sitting. Abby understands the importance of balancing exercise, boundaries, and affection for dogs, ensuring they are happy, healthy, and well-cared for. When it comes to cats, Abby has a gentle and intuitive approach, always meeting them where they are and respecting their space while also providing the care they need. You can count on her to be responsible and treat your pets with the same love and care that you would. She truly goes above and beyond, and I have no doubt that your pets will be in the best of hands with her!”
