Irisdelie was amazing, great communication and so so wonderful with my cats. Provided great updates with adorable pictures after each visit. I felt very comfortable and happy knowing my babes were being well cared for and loved while I was away.

Lilian was amazing! She was incredibly professional, kind, and accommodating and my boys absolutely loved her! She made sure to check every detail every day (water fountain levels, whether litter box was clean, what foods they liked more, etc) and was very communicative. She also sent the cutest pics of my cats, which became one of my phone backgrounds 😂 Will definitely book her again!!

Kriti was awesome with our cat! She was prompt and kind when responding to messages, and took great care to follow all of our requests. Stevie, our cat, was happy and so well cared for when we had to leave town at the last minute. It was such a relief not to worry about him while we were gone as Kriti was great about sending updates, photos and videos. Would not hesitate to use her again!

About: $20 off your 1st rover service! https://www.rover.com/sit/chrisy67308 I have a German shepherd malinois which is also my first pet. I love him to death and take his health (mentally, physically, etc) seriously. I would do the same for yours! I have dog sat 3 dogs at once (including mine) for a few weeks before. My dog can acclimate to new dogs after a meet and greet. I can handle dogs with raw food diets and have baby gates in some rooms to separate dogs if they're not getting along! I have a back yard to run around in (not grass). I have time on the weekends and wfh. I have gated fences and rooms. I can watch dogs while I work. I can take them on walks in the afternoon. I can crate if needed (need to assemble - fits gsd). I can handle walking dogs up and down stairs (weight dependent). I will ask for permission before giving any "new" treats or meal items.

Kayla was absolutely WONDERFUL with our two cats. Our cats are still acclimating to one another, and not only did she spend time with each of them but she did an amazing job at having them play together, listening to them if they had enough, and overall giving them many positive bonding experiences with each other. I also have a much more involved feeding routine/schedule for them than most people, and she followed everything perfectly. I always looked forward to her reports and pictures, and she was very thorough on her stay and how the cats were acting/feeling. I'm 100% sure they will miss her (especially Filo) and I will definitely call on Kayla again in the future!

Nicolle was great! Easy to communicate with and very reassuring. She really helped put my worries at ease about my cat being comfortable when the heat went out. My cat took to her right away and was clearly comfortable with her.

Jane did an excellent job with drop-in visits for our two cats. She was reliable, showing up twice daily as scheduled, and clearly took great care of them. She played with the cats during her visits and kept their litter consistently clean. We appreciated that she went beyond the basics, keeping our kitchen spotless where the cats are fed. The photos from each visit showed our cats looking comfortable and content. It was so nice to come home tired and jet-lagged to happy, well-cared-for cats without having to tackle any cat-related housework.
