“We are so thankful for Brian!! We had a bad experience with a local pet sitting company so we went looking on Rover when we were going away for Thanksgiving. Brian immediately put two anxious cat parents at ease and we left without a worry. Brian was communicative, prompt, kind, and got the cutest pictures of our cats. We will definitely be using his services again and confidently recommend him to any pet parents!!! Thank you, Brian!”

“I cannot speak more highly of Marilyn!!!!!! She is THE BEST dog sitter I could ever, EVER ask for!!!!! No others compare!!!! Not only is she so gentle and responsible with my dog, but she goes above and beyond what is asked for; taking him to the nearby playground for fun times, relaxing in the sun, cuddling and loving on him in my home, sweetly playing with his favorite toys, even taking selfies to show me how much she cares for him. It literally brings tears to my eyes seeing these pictures because of how safe I feel Mickey is and how wonderful she is!!! She follows instructions to the tee and she’s perfect!! I adore her!!! Please use her!!!! Your puppy will have another mommy 🤗🐶❤️”

“Meghan is a true dog-lover! She cares for her 2 labs, Sadie and Jade, as her children. Meghan has taken care of my pup, Ozzy, plenty of times over the past 2 years and has always exceeded my expectations of her responsibility. Even through doggy injuries, aggression, and feeding issues, she has always been a super reliable dog sitter. Most importantly, she loves Ozzy as her own! With her experience and love for dogs, I don't think twice about having her care for my pup, leaving me at ease that Ozzy is in good hands with Meghan!”
