3. 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.”


4. Linnea M.

“Linnea is the real deal! She did drop in visits for our almost two year old pittie Lucy and I could not have asked for a more capable and professional person for the job. An added bonus is that she loves to teach dogs new commands in addition to caring for them and showing them love. Linnea was spectacular and a high recommend!”


5. Kay M.

“Kay was a great sitter for our rabbit, Myrtle. She spent lots of time with her and updated us the whole way through. I wouldn't hesitate to hire Kay again!”


6. Lindy "Sid" J.

“Sid did great dropping in on my 4 month old puppy. I was worried on leaving him for a long work day but Sid stopped in twice and got him out to potty and fed him. I came home to a accident free house and a very happy puppy. I will defintely use Sid again to watch my pup. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“Carol was wonderful!! Fantastic and patient with our kitties and went the extra mile to take care of our home. Would definitely recommend and will book again in the future. Thank you Carol!!”


8. Tessa B.
“Tessa is amazing with pets! Tessa was always excellent with my rambunctious puppy - she was playful, patient, and helped me get through some tough puppy days. Tessa was also a wonderful and caring owner of a sweet senior rescue dog, and has cared for several other pets throughout her life. Outside of her experience with animals, Tessa is also a great person to work with in general. Tessa is easy to talk to, very receptive to concerns/questions, and will go out of her way to make you feel comfortable. She is extremely kind, helpful, and reliable. I cannot recommend Tessa highly enough! She will take great care of your pets and treat them like family.”


9. Jennifer S.

“Jennifer was amazing! She went above and beyond (bringing in mail and sweeping up messy litter with me asking) and tastes great photos :) My kitties were happy and unstressed when I came back.”


10. Cori F.

“Cori was excellent. Took great care of my puppy Banks for a few drop in visits while I was away for work. Lots of pics, throrough updates, and kind demeanor! Even took the time for a meet and greet in advance. Would recommend and will book again.”


11. Jordan D.

“I'm happy with the care my cat received from Jordan. The daily photos and status updates regarding how my cat was doing really helped to put my mind at ease while I was away.”


12. Tiffany M.

“We couldn't be happier with trusting Tiffany to take care of our kitten Nuggy (orange shorthair) for 5 days during the Christmas holidays. Tiffany was very professional throughout and provided outstanding care to our boy. She followed all of our care instructions to the letter (feeding, scooping, cleaning) and provided quality play time during her visits. In the short time that she was taking care of him, Tiffany was able to earn his trust and bond with him. This is quite indicative of Tiffany's manners as Nuggy is quite shy and easily scared and effectively Tiffany was his first social interaction. Overall, we highly recommend Tiffany and are thankful to her for giving us peace of mind that our boy and our home is in good hands while we were on vacation.”


13. Emily & Benjamin H.

“Sent great photos and did everything I asked them to do. Will be using again!”


14. 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!!”




15. Natalie D.

“Natalie is wonderful! Have to use her often for business travel which is random and sometimes very last minute due to projects. She is very reliable! Don’t steal her time please, I need her! Lol”


16. Whitney M.

“A great sitter! Arranged a pre-meeting before sitting for Buster to make sure she understood all of his needs. Stopped by every day and took care of everything, with photos! She also took care of house-related things like grabbing my mail. Thanks!”


17. Lillian V.

“Lillian is a compassionate, caring, and trust worthy human. She was able and willing to drop-in on our recently rescued special needs kitty and I simply cannot thank her enough.”


18. Kylie K.
“Kylie watches my two labradoodles every week. From walks to baths to sleepovers, Kylie does it all! She is the sweetest and most loving pet caregiver I've ever had. Her communication and ability to remain flexible are unmatched. I highly recommend Kylie to take care of your pets!”


19. Alex H.

“Alex was patient and very attentive with our overly energetic dog. Extremely reliable and easy to get a hold of. We’re very happy to have found Alex”
