Rojan dropped in at our apartment and checked in/played with our cat Franny for an extended period. Naturally, we were nervous about leaving Franny for several days, but it soon became clear that she was in terrific hands. Rojan sent photos documenting how she cared for and played with Franny, along with notes explaining how each visit went. She followed Franny's care instructions and was able to tell how Franny was feeling each day based on body language and activity levels--Rojan clearly knows cats very well! The photos showed that Franny loved being with Rojan just as much as Rojan clearly loved Franny. This was a tremendous comfort. Rojan deserves every bit of a 5-star review. She has a great attitude and is a loving caretaker. We hope to work with her again!

Clara does a recurring weekly drop in for our two small dogs. She is always punctual on arrival, always stays the entire time, she communicates thoroughly and clearly via text, she responds to inquiries and messages quickly. She’s very laid back and accommodating to any dog-quirks in their routine. Our dogs seem to be very happy with her and we are lucky to have found her. We intend to continue with Clara for all of our house-sit needs as long as she is available and amenable.

Jen is super helpful! We are so grateful that Mew Mew is being taken care of by Jen when we are on travel for 3 weeks. We paid Jen for 4 days of visit but she volunteered to come for much more days. Mew Mew was shy initially but Jen was very patient. It does not take long time for Jen to become Mew Mew's friend. We are so happy to see that! Besides, Jen provided us many photos and videos every time, which makes us very comfortable. Overall, we were worried to leave Mew Mew alone at home for 3 weeks, but Jen makes us so happy to visit Mew Mew frequently and become her new friend!

This was my first time using Rover so I was nervous to have a stranger checking in on my two kitties. Shane’s responsiveness and professionalism made my trip worry free because I knew that my kitties were in good hands. I will definitely be using Shane’s services in the future.

Lucy is great as a pet sitter. She is attentive to needs of the animals and makes sure they feel lots of love while their owner is gone. She is great with dogs big and small and dogs with all sorts of needs and quirks. Never worry when your pet is in Lucy’s care.

Elizaveta was an excellent cat sitter for us while we were out for the holidays. She’s quick to reply to messages and did an excellent job with the tasks we asked for. I loved the videos she’d send us of the cats as well. I’d definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a cat sitter!

Desiree was absolutely fantastic! My dogs were clearly well cared for and loved on while I was away. They were happy and healthy when I returned. Desiree did a great job with feeding, walking, and providing companionship. I would definitely recommend Desiree to other dog owners. Thanks for everything!

Ren is terrific; our new cat loves her just as much as our late cat did! We've been having her watch our cats for the past 2 years (7 bookings) and really appreciate how well she knows cats and the great touch she has with them. She sends lots of pictures, and it's great to know that the cats will be well taken care of with Ren!
