“It is so reassuring leaving my cat with Aimee to sit!! She is very caring and I know he is in excellent hands. Thanks for everything, Aimee!!”
“Maria was wonderful to work with! Super communicative and had no problem with administering pills for our Junie. It’s so nice to feel 100% confident that your cat will be well cared for while you’re away. Hire Maria!”
“Riley did a fantastic job taking care of our two cats while we were out of town. She was able to come by on short notice to pick up the keys and asked all the right questions to make sure everything was covered. Both of our cats seemed to really like her, and I loved that she sent lots of photos during the stay. I'd absolutely recommend Riley and would happily have her cat-sit for us again.”

Barcroft pet parents share their Rover experiences
Vanessa is an absolute gem! She helped me figure out what to do with our senior dog in terms of frequency of visits, this was the first time we really left him alone by himself. We were very anxious but felt so reassured because she was super communicative, attentive, and clearly loving towards our dog. She went above and beyond. We will be sure to use her again! Our dog already misses her!
Amanda did a wonderful job checking in on my 2 cats for about a week. She was sure to send detailed notes and many pictures each day. One of my cats tends to eat really fast so she ensured to spread out the food and even split up the serving as needed. Amanda also graciously brought in some packages I don’t anticipate getting delivered. I will definitely be rebooking for future care.
