“Jahzara is amazing. We used Rover for the first time and I trusted my intuition to go with her based on her profile and I am so happy to say it went perfectly. Our cats were happy when we came back from our vacation as they got a lot of love and attention. Jahzara made sure to send us the photos from every visit and seeing them getting love and treats was a joy. I will definitely be trusting her with taking care of animals.”
“I contacted Farah pretty much last minute to look after my cat for 5 days. She responded promptly and quickly accepted my request! She did everything I requested and more! She kept Luna's area clean and tidy. She even left catnip for my cat on the last day. She was attentive and I think she did a fabulous job. Although my cat is on the shy side, she still tried to get her comfortable with her. She even stayed an extra 40 minutes! She was always on time and messaged me with photos and updates, which I really appreciated. If I ever need someone to look after Luna in the future, it will definitely be Farah!”
“First time using the app. I couldn’t be happier with the experience with Alexandra! She was very responsive and took great care of my cat! Would definitely recommend her to anyone I know that would use this service!! 10/10!”

“So glad we chose Miryam as our first ever pet sitter! She has a genuine love for animals and our cat Koi naturally bonded with her during their time together. Miryam followed Koi’s feeding instructions and provided us daily updates and a ton of photos of Koi that made us smile everyday during our trip. Miryam living nearby was also a bonus and we will absolutely re-book Miryam in the future if she is available! Thank you!”
