When I arrived home he was resting comfortably in his crate. He was overjoyed to see me and everything was perfect! Thank you for taking such excellent care of Frankie. I look forward to using Leyla for future dog walking services. This was very FIRST experience leaving him for such a long period of time; Rover has made my ability to travel and engage in social activities possible.

Emily has great energy, learned the ropes easily, and was a pleasure to communicate with. It was clear from the initial meeting and the photos she sent that my two cats enjoyed their time with her. A sitter who can administer fluids is a big plus. Highly recommend!

Leila was a communicative and reliable cat sitter for our two energetic, playful kitties. She followed all instructions diligently and made sure they had their food, clean litter boxes, and play time. She also helped keep the place tidy and put away fragile things that the cats could’ve knocked over. Overall, Leila provided solid care for our cats and gave us peace of mind while we were away!

It’s never easy leaving your pets at home when you go away on travel, but Carol truly gave me peace of mind the entire time I was gone. She had great communication and sent updates / pictures while I was away. Can’t recommend her enough and I will certainly book her again in the future!

Caris is fantastic! We have two cats, one has special needs because she’s an older girl on medication. Caris had great communication, and we feel really confident that our girls are in great hands when she’s watching them. I would highly recommend her with zero hesitation

Could not recommend Erin more! I was a bit nervous to travel without my dog for the first time but Erin provided so much peace of mind during my trip with her detailed updates and photos. I could tell she spent time getting to know my pup and all her quirks during her visits. Will definitely be rebooking in the future.

Yulia was extremely professional. She was available for a meet and greet, asked important questions, and followed instructions. Goldie, my sweet adult cat, is fighting a bad infection, gastrointestinal insensitivities, and must take four different medications. Yulia did everything perfectly. She took great care of Goldie and gave her all the pets and attention she needed. I would employ Yulia again without hesitation and highly recommend her.

Kim was so attentive to our kitty Maggie! She is an only cat, who LOVES attention and human interaction, so we were hopeful for the playtime and attention she needs and we got that with Kim!! Kim sent photos every visit and left notes oh how often Maggie was eating which was a worry of ours as well. She also brushed her without us even mentioning it! We definitely recommend Kim to take care of your fur babies and will be rebooking<3

Salah is fantastic - he looked after my anxious rescue dog multiple times and did so well with him (my dog absolutely loved him and would be so happy every time he would come over). He is very responsible, communicative, and thoughtful!
