1. Claire M.
“Claire was great! Our cats were well cared for and she followed our directions perfectly while we were out of town. She was also kind enough to come over and meet me/the cats before our trip. I would totally hire Claire again!”
2. Kathleen A.
“Kathleen stepped up for me in an hour and need and quickly watched over our dog while we were away. Immediately she made me feel comfortable and that I didn’t need to worry about anything. From the pictures I could see Carl was having a blast. She hunkered through a lot of cold walks for us!”
3. Maxwell F.
“Max is always on time and follows any special directions you may have for your pets. You can tell he has had a lot of experience taking care of animals and truly loves interacting with them.”
4. Christine B.
“Christine was awesome. The photos I received from her of Mya was so fun to see. Mya is not a young dog & she’s very skittish, but Christine was great with her & she looked so happy in every photo. Highly recommended Christine.”
5. Sherry K.
“Sherry was wonderful with our 9 month old puppy. You can tell that she loves animals! We felt immediately confident that she would provide excellent care.”
6. Jenna O.
“Amazing! Last minute emergency call. There was no hesitation on her part to handle it. Communicated and updated me on my unique situation. I have a rescue pup at 7 years old. She had 3 rejections prior. Tess is a tricky sensitive dog with many triggers. Not violent just fear. Jenna was the best. Sensitive. Calm and didn't give up. Willing to take time to try different methods to help Tess feel safe. And all this without ever meeting us or in our wing the full story of trauma. Couldn't be happier or more grateful.”
7. Mandy F.
“Mandy was great with our cat. We highly recommend her!”
8. Karen S.
“Thank you so much! The dogs were so happy when I got home ! Absolutely will do business again”
9. Alexandra P.
“Alexandra was a fantastic cat sitter for us! Her check-ins were so nice because kids wanted to see pictures of our cat. They were so happy when she did! 5 stars! Excited to work with her again”
10. Shannon S.
“Shannon watched our dogs regularly for about 3 years. We have two smaller rescue pups (a maltipoo and yorkie) who are high-energy, but very skittish and it didn’t take long for them to warm up to her and love their “Aunt Shannon.” She put them at ease and gave them all the love and attention they wanted. She would even send us photos of our pups being cute and happy. We were pretty devastated when she moved to Michigan and we had to find someone else. It felt like part of our family had left.”
11. Kay M.
“This was our first experience with Rover. Kristin did a great job dropping in to visit, feed and let out our new puppy. I loved the photos she sent! We will definitely book her again.”
12. Megan K.
“Megan took such good care of Paisley!!!! She kept me updated and sent cute pics of paisley! I would def hire her again.”
13. Jacki M.
“Jacki was so amazing with my kitty! She took incredible pictures and left me detailed notes of a play by play of what they did during the visit. She also is very prompt and timely. She is very sweet with my kitty—she rarely comes out and is shy, but Jacki got her to come out of her shell. I’ll definitely be booking with her again!”
14. Heather & Robert K.
“Heather was great with Opal-she made sure to have play time and special treats for her while I was at work! Would definitely recommend her as a sitter”
15. Caroline O.
“Caroline has watched my cat (Otis) many times and up to 7 days at a time. Whenever Caroline watches Otis she does a great job communicating how he is doing and sends great pictures. This makes me feel assured that that he is in good hands. Although it is hard to leave Otis behind when I go on vacation, I always trust that Caroline will do a great job, and Otis very much enjoys Caroline’s company! I would recommend Caroline to anyone who needs their cats and/or dogs looked after.”
16. Lizzi S.
“Lizzi did an amazing job caring for my cat. She is thoughtful, professional and wonderful with animals. Jacamo is a little shy but in no time Lizzi became his fast friend. I really appreciate Lizzi for helping me out when I was in a bind for pet care. ??”
17. Bettina B.
“Bettina is an exceptionally wonderful pet sitter! She is warm and caring and very professional. Bettina went above and beyond at every visit to ensure our cats were happy and each received one-on-one attention. Her photos and check-in notes from each visit were also great. I was able to enjoy vacation knowing our cats were in the best hands and will absolutely book with her again!”
18. Shareen D.
“Shareen is a responsible and caring dog lover who you can rest assured will take great care of your beloved dog and treat them like family.”
19. Adam D.
“Adam is fantastic! He's very reliable and wonderful with my fur baby Luka. I would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a sitter for their babies.”
20. Corey K.
“Corey is great with dogs! I actually met her because she was fostering and my husband and I adopted the sweet baby she took in. She has since watched and walked our pup and did so well with her! She learned our commands we use for her and reinforced the training we spent so long instilling. We are very selective in who we allow to care for our dogs when we are away, and we would definitely recommend her to take care of your beloved fur baby in any capacity! Doggies know good people and all 3 mine love her!”
