“Shannon did an AMAZING job helping us when we needed a last minute drop in visit. She took such good care of our pup, providing lots of play, cuddles, and not giving up when our front door was a pain to unlock and I was being terrible about checking my phone. Couldn't reccomend more!”
2. Kelly P.
“Kelly was super kind and attentive to my kitten! I definitely felt like he was in good hands with her. She was a trooper with getting into the place as my door can be hard to unlock. Sometimes she was early/late to the scheduled time, but often she would stay for longer than the 30 min window which I really appreciated, as kitties need a lot of play time!! I would love to book with Kelly again in the future :)”
3. Juli G.
“Juli did a great job with drop-in visits for my GSD. It was raining one time and hot another but she made sure he got a break, some attention, and his treats so he was very happy. She responds quickly and made sure Auggie was all set.”
4. Iryna K.
“Iryna was a superb cat sitter for my two cats. She was attentive; communicative, and responsible. My cats absolutely loved her, and she went above and beyond to make them feel comfortable. I will definitely be relying on Iryna in the future!”
5. Aimee P.
“Aimee was amazing. We were a bit hesitant, as we've never used Rover before, but she was so welcoming and helpful. She came on-time, every time, and cared for our dog. We will definitely use her again!”
6. Emily B.
“Emily is flexible, caring, and does a fantastic job watching our needy dog! Sparky loves her visits & so do we! Emily is very organized & reliable, we know she will always give our dog his many medicines! Couldn’t recommend more!”
7. Whitney M.
“Whitney was so helpful and we knew Josie was in great hands while we were away. She was very communicative and we got great updates. Thanks Whitney!!!”
8. Aly S.
“Aly has consistently showed up for us when we need her most! She treats our pup well and is thorough in her reports for how our dog is doing. We appreciate her so much & recommend highly!”
9. Tara F.
“Absolutely excellent. We went on a long trip to Asia and the biggest thing for me was that I could actually enjoy my trip because I knew they were in great hands. She walked our dog daily in addition to playing with her outside in the backyard and really helped get her energy out and quality time. She was patient and kind with our cats and did an excellent job in finding ways to get them to take their medicine (3 of the 4 cats take medication). She cleaned our house throughout the stay but did a final clean on the day we got back and that was such a huge plus for us. It was nice coming home to happy animals and a clean house in order. So happy we found Tara and can’t wait to have her pet sit again.”
10. Jocelyn M.
“Jocelyn did an excellent job sitting for us over an extended two week period. She was always on time or early and was always responsive when I had questions.”
11. Catie N.
“Catie had to make a change to the reservation due to a personal situation but she was super communicative to make sure I had time to find a sitter for the rest of the time and worked to get the key to the person as well. Vinnie loves her and would definitely hire her again when I need someone to watch her.”
12. Kerra H.
“Kerra and Chris took great care of my kitties!! They were very responsive and sent many videos along with photos and a detailed update every day. They also were upfront and told me about any unexpected delays about timing of starting the visit, even if it would only be by an hour or two. I will definitely be using them again! Thank you!”
13. Mallory B.
“As someone who also sits for others, Mallory is a breath of fresh air. I personally treat everyone’s pet as my own and Mallory without a doubt did that and more. I never doubted for a second that my big floof was being taken care of and being spoiled. She even brought him a new toy. Mallory has officially exceeded my expectations and raised the bar. Without a doubt, I’ll be using Mallory again. So lucky to have found her.”
14. Zoe H.
“Zoe is wonderful with our nervous little chihuahua and us. She cares for our pet’s mental and physical well being. We appreciate the updates and photos, it brings us comfort. I highly recommend Zoe.”
15. Amanda M.

16. Itzamarie P.
“Itza is wonderful person with experience in dog sitting and walking dogs as well. She is super responsive, and has taken care of my dog when I’m out of town. Our dog always has the best time with Itza.”

“Shereen was amazing! Her love for animals is so apparent and she took excellent care of our cat. From the initial meeting to the actual visits, Shereen was professional and kind. I could tell our cat loved her and trusted her. Will 100% be using her again!”
18. Rasha B.
“Rasha took great care of our pets as usual. She’s so responsive and always lets us know how our pets are doing while we’re away. Our dog gets so excited when she sees Rasha, so I know that she gives extra care and attention.”

“The pets loved her. Highly recommend Natalia P.”
20. John P.
