“Ray was an absolutely phenomenal cat sitter. Super communicative, genuinely loves animals and she got along so well with all three of our cats (each with very different personalities). She was very reliable and we had full confidence that she had everything under control the entire time. We would absolutely work with her again and would recommend her to anyone.”
“Israa was a pleasure to deal with, she took great care of my cat and even went as far to vacuum up some extra litter on the floor as he likes to make a bit of a mess sometimes. Would definitely rebook!”
“Mikhail and his partner Ozzie took amazing care of my two furballs. Both very kind and confident with young cats, I got regular updates and cute photos. Their cat got along with our kittens well. Would definitely recommend!”
“Julie was amazing. Such a big help on short notice. Always communicating with me while i was gone and provided great photos. Will definitely be looking to rebook with her.”
“Paisley has looked after my cat Ru twice now and has done a great job making sure he gets his food, love, and play time. She is great at communicating and is very friendly. I would definitely recommend her.”
“Exactly what we needed for our week long trip away! Consistent with updates and a very happy cat awaiting our return. Clearly experienced with looking after pets and felt if anything did go wrong we had the right person in place to fix it.”
“I have booked 3 or 4 different people from Rover and Sinead is by far the best pet sitter I've come across. She went above and beyond to make my kitties feel comfortable while I was away on vacation. She took adorable photos of my kitties, played with them, cuddled them, and even brought them new treats and new toys. She is very friendly, caring, and compassionate about animals and I highly recommend her!”
“Thank you, Shayla! Shayla did an amazing job with our sensitive kitty. Shayla was able to understand Penelope’s needs, and give the space she needed while still proving the care, love, and attention that P deserves! Medication is no problem for Shayla. The notes and pics were super informative- I never wondered how P was doing. Will book Shayla again!”
“Maya was great with our two cats Jaeger and Ozzy . She gave us daily photos and updates while we were away for a week on vacation and we felt great knowing she was there with them and well taken care of. We highly recommend Maya :)”
“Miranda is super reliable and leaves you confident that’s your furr babies are being taken care of! My go to for whenever I need to book a pet sitter now that she has gotten to know my two cats!”
“Stéphanie’s company was really beneficial and helpful to my lovely Kramer while I was gone. She was very happy when I came home and so was I to see she was played with and well fed. Stephanie provided lovely pictures of my little beauty to consume while I was away and left a toy as well, which I really appreciate. Her calm and welcoming energy would be received well by any pet, I really recommend her service.”
“I felt comfortable with Sydney cat-sitting for a week and administering medication to one of my cats. I particularly appreciated her communicating with me when she ran into a problem in the house. I would recommend her and would use her services again.”
“Michaela was awesome with my extremely shy kitties! Even though they aren't likely to greet new strangers, she made an effort every day to coax them out to meet her and provided me with detailed updates on her visits. I would definitely book again!”
“Allyson took care of my cat while I was away for 3 weeks. She is very patient and does more than just the basic requirements to make your pet feel comfortable. My cat hates everyone but Allyson managed to befriend her! She is kind and understanding when accidents happen and takes effort to keep you updated about everything. I recommend her to those looking for a sitter and she will be the first I reach out to next time.”
“Bohdana was amazing with my cat while I was away! She was reliable, caring, and made sure everything was taken care of. She also sent me updates and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind. My cat is usually very shy and with Bohdana she was happy, relaxed, and clearly comfortable with her. I’d definitely recommend Bohdana to anyone looking for a trustworthy cat sitter and will be booking her again in the future!”
