2. 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.”
3. Aimee P.
“I chose Aimee based on her reviews: I was nervous about leaving my three senior cats (one is special needs) for a few days and told Aimee. She helped relieve my anxiety by sending me her detailed notes and photos from each visit. I am so pleased with Aimee’s excellent care of my cats.”
4. shannon b.
“Shannon was great and understood the needs of a new puppy very well, and was extra flexibility in accommodate the booking request. She also provided great updates and photos — very communicative.”
5. Iryna K.
“Rover review This was my first time leaving my baby home alone with a pet-sitter and thanks to Iryna we had a wonderful, worry-free experience! We booked pretty last minute and Iryna was very prompt, communicative, and professional. She coordinated a meeting right away to come meet my boy and learn about our setup where she asked all the right questions to properly care for him. Since we were only gone for a few days I told Iryna she didn’t have to worry about cleaning the litterbox but she offered to do it anyways and took the bags out every day. Iryna followed my instructions perfectly and went above and beyond; playing with my active boy, checking his water fountain levels daily, and sending us detailed reports with lots of pictures. I will definitely be booking her again and recommend her to any pet parents who prioritize their babies!”

Without a doubt, I’ll be using Mallory again. So lucky to have found her.”

“I can't recommend Tina highly enough as a dog walker and sitter! She has been absolutely amazing with my labrador, Scout. Tina is incredibly reliable and always goes above and beyond to ensure Scout is happy and well cared for.
