Top rated Arbor Peaks pet sitters
“Monica was absolutely amazing! She sent so many great pictures of the dogs, so we knew they were good. She did so well with them, and our dogs are not exactly well trained. This was our first time, but I'm sure won't be our last. Would 100% recommend her to anyone!”
“Hanna is so attentive and great with Ole!”
“First time customer and it went perfect. PERFECT!!! Communication was great every day with pics of all our pets. We highly recommend Ash and we’re certain our cats and dogs do too. :-)”
“Lisa was amazing with my two cats, Mimi and Momo! She made sure that I got regular updates and photos that really put my mind at ease. They were well taken care of during the week that I was away. Both were very happy and relaxed when I got home. Highly recommend!”
“Very considerate, consistent with communication, and attentive to care details. My Kittens were well taken care of, would definitely book again. Thank you!”
“My dogs and cat were in such good hands. Highly recommend him. Will use again and again. Was in another country and he was so patient with my payment issue. I didn’t have to worry even at 3700 miles away.”
“Ali is amazing! My first time using Rover and Ali willingly did a meet and greet and made the entire process as enjoyable as can be. She's never late and is an amazing with communication.”
“I can't recommend Kassy highly enough! She did an exceptional job taking care of Bella. Kassy was incredibly detailed in her updates, providing thorough reports and sending plenty of pictures, which really put our minds at ease. Bella was clearly well taken care of, and we're so grateful for Kassy's attentive care”
“Troy has been nothing but amazing, not only with our dog but with everything he does! Our pup is a bit people selective and moose was comfortable in no time due to Troy being patient and knowledgeable about how to handle a more reactive dog. My husband and I would 100% recommend him to take care of your furry friend too! He is always on time and makes sure he leaves the house cleaner then when he got there!”
“Andrea has done drop in visits on a couple different occasions for, and she’s done a great job with Sable. She was very responsive to messages to schedule the visits and easy to coordinate with.”
“Morgan was absolutely phenomenal! We have some older cats who require medication and she was a pro! Will definitely be reaching out again the next time we leave town.”
“Zaira helped me out with a short notice request to take care of my cat, Ernestine. Prompt and professional in her responses to confirm...checked in and out each visit with pictures...as well as provided a complete report card of Ernestine each day. Would definitely reserve with Zaira, again!”
“LIFE SAVER in puppy visits. Communicative, responsive.”
“Tori was truly amazing! Words can’t express how grateful we are for her and how helpful she was! Tori is very flexible and truly cares for your pet and their wellbeing. She took care of our Spaghettio and always sent us great updates. Will be booking Tori again when we need a cat sitter again!”
“Allison is the best! We’ve had her help us out twice now and she does a great job and our dogs love her - couldn’t ask for better help with our big babies! Highly recommend.”
“Tanya took excellent care of our two cats once again! She gave them lots of attention while we were gone. We will definitely rebook for our next trip!”
“I have 3 dogs who are a handful! Katherine jumped right in and took on the challenge. I can tell she treats them well based on their reaction to her coming over. I also love the photos she takes for the rover cards!”
“Jessica was fabulous! She took great care of my cats, and followed all the instructions left for my needy cats. She was quick to provide updates and photos. It was nice not worrying if my cats were in good hands while I was gone. She went above and beyond! I will definitely book her again”
