“Julie was amazing with my cat while we were away for the weekend! My cat needs to be given liquid medicine daily and Julie did a great job with it, as well as making her happy whenever Julie visited. Julie was also extremely kind, I absolutely recommend her for anyone looking for a cat sitter!”
“Nathan took care of my two cats while I was away, and he was one of the best Rover sitters I’ve ever had. He was incredibly sweet with my girls and maintained excellent communication, giving me peace of mind knowing they were in great hands. His report cards were detailed, and he provided several amazing photos from each visit, which I truly appreciated. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a fantastic sitter!”
“Taylor did a great job watching our cat over the weekend. She sent detailed updates and made sure our cat was comfortable--I could tell he was well taken care of when I returned. Would definitely recommend Taylor to watch your pet!”
“Isabel did a wonderful job watching my cats, and left a lot of helpful information every day about their moods and behaviors, which was great to read throughout the week.”
“Mirabel did a fantastic job with our cat! She went above and beyond and was super responsive at all times. I’d trust her a million times over with our cat!”
“Anastasia was fantastic! She went out of her way to make sure our little scaredy cat Jake was super comfortable, and even went back to double-check on his comfort. She also was very communicative and prompt. And even brought in our mail! We will definitely be asking her for her services again! She’s wonderful!”
“These gals are amazing! My puppy loves them. They always leave a great review of their tone with Cai, and the best pictures. Thank you Meagan and Morgan loving my pup and taking such good care of him!”

We feel so fortunate to have found Nick! Literally the day after our meet and greet, we learned we needed to travel out of town for a family funeral. Nick accepted the drop-in sitting job on short notice, came when he said he would, followed all our cat care instructions and gave our boys some quality time consistent with their individual needs. It took away some of the stress associated with that unplanned trip, and now I'm not so anxious about our future travel plans! Thank you, Nick!!
As usual, Leo has taken outstanding care of my kitty while I was away for almost two weeks. The visits were on time and I got lots of photos and candid comments about how my kitty was doing - and he was doing so well! I could tell he was entertained playing with Leo and even became quite affectionate, which is rare for his skittish character. Leo also watered the cat grass and left the apartment tidy and clean. Over the years I have come to know Leo as very reliable, easy to communicate with and genuinely attentive to my cat's needs.
Suzete is the best! She cares for our cats like they’re her own. Even our shy girl loves playing with Suzete! She is patient and is able to administer insulin (a tall task!) to our boy. She always leaves our apartment cleaner than she found it and sends thorough updates. We are lucky to have found her!
Zhao was so incredible with my cat. She followed her routine to a tee and provided excellent daily updates and pictures. My cat has some medical needs that I felt Zhao was abundantly capable of handling and I was able to relax while she was in Zhao’s care. I absolutely recommend her as a cat sitter.
I’m lucky my 17 yr old cat has Grace to look in on him. She’s very responsive to his needs, whether it is to play or sit and be scratched under the ears. She’s sends reports so I don’t worry about him. Grace is his favorite. He tells me by how calm and content he is when I get home.
My kitties seem so happy and energetic even after I returned from a long trip. I've relied on her service for more than a year and she's been consistently thoughtful and transparent. I'm always super impressed with her, I would highly recommend her service!!
