“Allison was wonderful! We very much enjoyed her summaries of each visit, along with the pictures she would send. Our cats were in very good hands, and yours will be too if you choose to use her services.”
“Miranda was so great with my older dog, took time to make him comfortable and followed my directions about his care perfectly. I would highly recommend Miranda and would definitely use her again! Very communicative and provided pictures.”
“Skylar did a fantastic job taking care of my two cats while I was away for 2 weeks on business. My cats warmed up to her quickly. The care was complicated by some medical issues with my cats, and the fact that I had just recently moved to a new place, but she handled everything fantastically and kept the cats happy and healthy”
“Sofia was great! She dropped in twice a day, for 6 days, while we were on vacation. We had an unexpected health issue with our one dog, and she went out of her way to make his life easier while we were gone. We were sent plenty of photos and could see that all of our pets really connected well with Sofia. I would recommend her to anyone who's looking for a great pet sitter!”
“Shuhuan is a so kind and professional pet sitter. She took care of our two cats while we were in a week-long business trip. She always came to our house at the scheduled time frame, and played around with our two cats together. She even helped us to adjust the auto feeder clock during the daylight saving time begins on Sunday. It seems like both of our two cats like her very much!”

“Katelyn visited our cat and brought in our mail, too, while we were gone for 2 weeks. She brought a couple things to our attention, like a package that was delivered with damage. We felt like our kitty was in excellent hands with Katelyn. We will definitely ask Katelyn to take care of our kitty again!”
“Ally was fantastic. She was very thorough, punctual and friendly. We appreciated her responsiveness, communication and professionalism a lot. We are happy to have found Ally and will be using her again!”
“Oh my goodness! She is the absolute best! I stressed all night before because I didn’t want to leave my pup while I was at work for 12 hours. Lindsay helped me set up a time and she arrived perfectly! She gave him a walk and spent so much time with him! I cannot thank her enough and will be hiring her again. I highly highly recommend her. She is absolutely amazing!”
“Maranda and Baylee took great care of our kitties while we were down the shore :) we loved the updates and felt comfortable knowing our older cat was getting her medication and lots of love twice a day. Baylee and Spock became best friends ! I enjoyed getting updates of her playing with him. Would definitely recommend”

“Kristin was wonderful to work with. She took care of my 2 dogs and birds for a week. She visited 3 times a day and gave me a summary of the visit and photos of my puppies. She went above and beyond when my senior dog had some tummy issues, she took great care of him and did everything I would have done. By the end of the week, the dogs became very fond of her. My house was tidy and she brought in packages and mail. I would not hesitate having her back as my regular pet sitter. She is very responsive to texts and emails.”

“Jordynn has helped us out with drop-in visits for Bao Bao on a couple of occasions now, and he appears to be smitten. As Bao Bao was staying home alone, the extra attention Jordynn gave him was very much appreciated, and the many updates she sent us allowed us to actually relax while out of town, which is nice for a change. Looking at all those pics of Bao Bao being hugged, petted and kissed, he's obviously made his choice of preferred sitter! Two enthusiastic thumbs up. :)”

Arcola cat parents share their Rover experiences
Allison is AMAZING! She provided detailed updates of our cats every day of our long trip, including multiple pictures and any updates regarding medication administration, their overall demeanor, and their level of sass (which is important to us, haha). She did two practice runs of medication administration for our senior cat before our trip, as well, which we are immensely grateful for!
Skylar did a fantastic job taking care of my two cats while I was away for 2 weeks on business. My cats warmed up to her quickly. The care was complicated by some medical issues with my cats, and the fact that I had just recently moved to a new place, but she handled everything fantastically and kept the cats happy and healthy

She even helped us to adjust the auto feeder clock during the daylight saving time begins on Sunday. It seems like both of our two cats like her very much!
Valerie took great care of my cat for a whole week. I felt comfortable since she sent detailed descriptions of what they were up to, and I loved the pics including a festive new year pic!! I will continue to pick Valerie as my first choice cat sitter since she is reliable and my cat loves her.
