“Niki is super sweet and smart and obviously loves animals. She communicated well and was easy to work with. We had a small billing issue and she worked with me to get it resolved quickly. I would definitely recommend her and will use her again.”


“Becca was great, she came to visit Kitty everyday, sent us pictures and by the end of the week I think Kitty was warming up to her! We will definitely use her again for our next trip.”


“Danielle did a wonderful job of watching or cat over the Christmas holiday. She was reliable and needed very little information. She sent great pictures of our Alfie clearly happy with her company.”


“Alyssa took great care of our cat, and the check-in photos of her were better than any pictures we ever get ourselves. With our cat's history of separation anxiety, we could tell when we got home that she was well cared for and comfortable. Alyssa's fantastic and absolutely someone you can trust your pets with.”


“Ashley is amazing! She is communicative and attentive and she truly cared about the happiness and safety of my cat. When I came home, Maggie was happy, healthy and safe. Ashley noticed the house was getting stuffy while I was gone and turned on the fans so my kitty would be comfy. She pampered Maggie with attention. Ashley also sent detailed updates and sent Lots of cute pics and videos! It put my mind at ease knowing Ashley was taking such great care of her. . I definitely recommend her!! I will be booking her again for sure! 10/10 stars ⭐️”


“Andrea was great watching my cat!”


“Haley did a wonderful job looking after our cat. She gave us peace of mind and was very flexible working with our schedule. It can be challenging going away with a pet a home, but Haley made the experience simple and easy for us. It’s good to have someone you can trust when you are away.”


“Ansley was so attentive to our cat and sent such amazing pictures while we were away!! She also left detailed notes about each visit which was comforting while being away from the kitty. Thank you so much, Ansley!”


“Cat loves her to the point where he is "the only cat that doesn't randomly attack [her]". Very communicative and my cat loves it when she comes over. Eases his stress a ton when I'm on the road for work”


“OMG, I don’t think we could have had a better sitter! We have not left town since we bought our house in 2021. Over the last year we have had a really rough time and we needed a couple days away from the city, just a break from normal life and reconnecting with my fiancé. I was very nervous about leaving, and then my fiancé's parents told us that they couldn’t watch the dogs, and we didn’t have a backup plan. But I am so glad we found Josie! She saved our little vacation and put me so at ease that I felt I could leave and not have to worry about the babies at home. It has been amazing to relax with my fiancé for a few days and I owe that to Josie! Our dogs are a lot to take in for a new person, but her love for animals shined through and our girls loved her! Bless her heart, Luna is still full of puppy energy and she isn’t small, half Irish wolfhound, and Josie was great with her. Even when I thought Luna was going to knock her over, she was still as calm and happy as she could be. She was able to take on the job short notice, and she was punctual for every meeting and visit. She had such positive energy from the moment I met her. Our girls are kind of picky about who they like and who they accept into our home, and they absolutely loved her. I was so worried she was gonna run screaming lol. She also went out of her way to help with our roosters which were not part of the job, but had flipped over their waterer the first 3 hours we were gone. So she’s attentive and if she sees something that needs to be done, whether it’s part of her job or not, she did it. That type of work ethic is very hard to come by these days! She was also more respectful of our home than we are! I appreciate the care she gave our babies and our home. She is a very hard worker and she stayed longer just to make sure that everyone was safe and happy! This was our first experience with a professional pet sitter and Josie was great! We hope our girls didn’t scare her away from coming back for us in September. If you are looking for a caring, attentive and hard working sitter, then you definitely need to book Josie. She will take care of your home and all of your animals like they were her own. You can rest easy with her, your fur babies and feathered babies are in the best hands!”


“Carina was available last minute to help out with my pup! She provided a detailed update and ensured he was comfortable while I was away.”


“Rachel was excellent with providing me updates on my cats as well as their food/water/litterboxes. My cats seemed to open up to her an enjoy her company as well, which is a big thing for them! :)”



“Bill is consistent, friendly, and overall excellent to work with”


“Hire Alyssa! She’s amazing. She cares for your babies like her own. I love her communication and updates! It’s really helpful to know your fur babies are safe with her and your space is cared for!”


“Chrystina was available for a drop in visit the next day. She kept in communication and sent lots of pictures to keep us updated! Very friendly and would recommend!”



“Laura exceeded all expectations while watching our very grumpy cat Hercules. She read his body language and respected his boundaries. He is not an easy cat to be around and by day 3 he was rolling on his back and meowing instead of hissing and growling. As a cat mom, that made my heart so happy to know he sensed how kind she is and that she wasn’t there to hurt him. On top of watching our cat, the electricity in our neighborhood went out during her visit. She called us as soon as she saw it was out and went above and beyond to help us see if it was a home issue or a widespread outage, and made sure Hercules was all set with food and water since he has an electric fountain and food dispenser. On top of ALL THAT, she ran around my house checking breakers and unplugging things to keep my mind at ease because of the outage. I felt like I was having a trusted long time friend in my home the way that she cared. We are so excited to have found her! She is amazing, and now all our friends that were camping with us want to try Rover because we had such a wonderful experience!”


“Danielle was awesome walking me through the process of a drop-in visit and me being new to in home visits. She also did great with my super scared cat and was able to coax him into pets.”


“Alexis did a great job caring for our four cats while we were away. We have a senior cat that requires daily medication, and knowing she was continuing to receive excellent care brought us peace of mind while we were away. We also have three foster kittens and they received plenty of playtime while Alexis was housesitting. We would love to have Alexis back to care for our cats!”


About: I am a lover of all animals big and small! I care for two dogs and a fancy rat myself currently. Growing up, I always had pets, from cats and dogs to ducks and rabbits, even iguanas! Please rest assured, I care for your fur babies as if they were my own while they are in my care. I do light training currently, basic commands and sitting at crosswalks before crossing the road. If there are specific commands that your dog is alredy trained on please let me know! I am glad to learn them myself to ensure their training is maintained! I've cared for both puppies and senior dogs and cats. I have an affinity for animals and connect with them genuinely. I am an active person and enjoy going for walks and jogs. I carry water with me for hot and longer walks and a towel to dry dogs off with if it rains. I'd love to meet your fur baby! 💚🐕🦺🐈⬛🐾 I currently work part time, early morning shifts, leaving the days and evenings wide open to walk, play with and care for your fur babies!! I have a small fenced in yard, and take regular walks to ensure proper exercise is maintained for pets. I care for a sweet senior chihuahua, a little terrier mix and a fancy rat.

“Nicole was great! My request was last minute but she was quick to respond to me and I was so grateful for her help. She sends lots of pictures, which is so awesome, especially when you're missing your pets! I felt like my three cats were well taken care of and I would definitely ask for her to check in on them again!”
