1. Kaitlyn M.
“Kaitlyn was very responsive prior to setting up services. Her daily updates and pictures were comforting and helpful for ensuring that our two elderly cats were doing well while we were gone. We had a minor issue on one visit with her gaining access to our home, and Kaitlyn was quick to help resolve. I would not hesitate to book her again in the future.”
2. Molissa S.
“Molissa is absolutely lovely and always takes such good care of Diana, who adores her! She's also been incredibly flexible and generous, we really appreciate her. Highly recommend!”
3. Kathleen H.
“Katie did a great job looking after our two cats. She left us thorough notes on what she did during each visit and sent lots of photos. She even volunteered to vacuum litter on the floor, which was above and beyond what we expected. One of our cats is very shy, and we were impressed that he felt comfortable with Katie after just a few days. This was our first time leaving our cats with a sitter, and Katie made the experience stress-free for us. We will definitely rebook with her next time we go away!”
4. Kaysie Y.
“Kaysie was great! She was able to accommodate my dog on a last minute notice, and she made me feel comfortable as she is the first time I used Rover.”
5. Chelsea R.
“Chelsea is doing a great job working with Champies and getting to know her! She is patient and calm and is doing everything she can to get Champies warmed up to her!”
6. Jennifer S.
“Jennifer is fantastic. She is so kind, communicative, responsible, and is amazing with our kitty cat. I had a full week of working and events and meetings after work and my husband was traveling. Jennifer came everyday 3 times a day to play with Helen, make sure her food and water were good, clean her litter, and she even brought in packages and signed for them. Just so incredibly helpful. We love Jennifer and cannot recommend her enough!!”
7. Linnea M.
“Linnea was very responsive and helpful when things did not go exactly to plan. One of my dogs is prone to accidents and she did a good job cleaning those up as they occurred. She also helped when one of my dogs was digging a hole under the fence. She was kind, responsive, and clearly enjoyed spending time with our dogs. She followed instructions well for their care and I can wholeheartedly recommend her for drop in appointments!”
8. Regan M.
“I booked Regan to help me with my new puppy. She was super accommodating to the fact that my puppy hadn’t learned to do walks yet. She tried multiple ways to make her more comfortable and is helping me get her adjusted. I’ve booked Regan for the next month! Love her!”
9. Kaitlin K.
“Kaitlin was great with Victor! I felt very comfortable with her going to my apartment to check in on him, and she made sure to play with his favorite toys. I will definitely book with her again and recommend her to anyone else who is looking!”
10. Genessa K.
“Genessa cat- (and house-) sat for 10 days. Due to the sickliness of our fur-baby, Genessa had to closely monitor our cat to ensure she ate enough each day and successfully took her (three different) medications. We also gave her contact details of our vet to allow her to make appointments to have fluids intravenously and additional medication. Genessa seemed totally unphased and made appointments for every other morning, fitting her schedule around our cat to ensure she remained healthy in our absence. We returned to a super happy kitty and an incredibly clean home. Genessa had cleaned and changed the towels and sheets and completely blitzed the entire flat. (Genuinely, it was cleaner than how we'd left it …!)”
11. Denyal F.
“Denyal cared for our two cats for approximately two weeks. They were well cared for and not stressed out when we returned as they have been in the past with other sitters. She really cares for animals and it shows!”
12. Emily B.
“Emily provided wonderful care for our cats while we were away. She followed our instructions and maintained clear communication throughout her engagement. She showed her care for our pets by capturing their spirit in every photo and video she sent us, always bringing a smile to our faces. We highly recommend Emily's services to anyone seeking professional and caring pet care.”
13. Adventures with C.
“Cici took such great care of my clan, and took so many photos and always let me know when she was on her way. Super friendly and communicative on top of taking great care of the babies, all last minute! We love Cici and can’t wait to have her watch the babies again (:”
14. Emma B.
“Emma has always been good with my five year old shih tzu, spiky. He always gets excited to see her and loves to go on walks with her, and he’s not a fan of walks in general. I’ve seen how she interacts with her two dogs and other dogs of various sizes and I can say with full confidence that she will take the best possible care of your pet.”
15. Annie B.
“Annie was INCREDIBLE!! My kitty, Helen, absolutely loved her. Annie thought of everything and she was so great to work with. HIGHLY recommend!!”
16. Natalie D.
“Natalie took excellent care of our cat Milo while we were away. She was very detailed in her updates and even brought in a package that was delivered in our absence. I will definitely use Natalie again!”
17. Margaret D.
“Margaret is a wonderfully conscientious person who loves all animals. She is responsible, trustworthy and attentive. She will treat your pet like it was her own.”
18. Keilah V.
“Keilah is a great pet sitter! I have an extremely shy and anxious cat and somehow she got him to come out and play a little and even got a photo of him giving her a kiss! I was shocked! I recommend her for any pet needs and will absolutely be going back to her.”
19. Lillian V.
“Lillian is simply the best. She has such a wonderful and caring demeanor, our cat loves her, and she was instrumental in the health and recovery of our furball - we absoutley cannot recommend her enough.”
20. Jordan D.
“Thank you Jordan! You took fantastic care of Helen Rose at the last minute! She loves you!!”
