Sara is very professional and thorough! I felt like Sara is trustworthy and gave the patience and kind attention that my high fear cat needs to feel safe and at ease. I will definitely book Sara again for future care for my fur baby.

Karen loves all animals…she has cared for my cats (playing with them along with feeding, scooping and loving on them.). She has rescued many animals-mostly dogs and cats-and many have spent their retirement/assisted living days at Karen’s peaceful home. Karen is prompt, efficient, trustworthy and very responsible. She enjoys caregiving to animals as much as those creatures love her. Give her a try , and you will never let Karen go!

Abby is absolutely great! She was so patient with our boys (our year old Belgian Malinois is a ball of furry energy) and our 9 year old cattle dog mix is blind. I've never had anyone come in and take care of my babies, but I trust Abby 100%. Thank you Abby and Rover for providing this service. She'll be the first person I call next time we go out of town!

Elisa was great! My cat is sometimes a timid gal with new people but she came out and spent time with her! Elisa was quick to respond and responsible! I will be using her again for any upcoming trips.

AJ is an absolute lifesaver when it comes to taking care of my dog, Hunter, and cat, Oliver. From the first time we met, I could feel their genuine love for animals, and it instantly put me at ease. AJ is not just a pet sitter, he’s become an extended part of our family. He always goes the extra mile, sending me updates and adorable photos, which always make my day. If you're looking for a pet caregiver who treats your fur babies with the same love and devotion as you do, AJ is your guy! I wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone in need of an exceptional pet caregiver.
