“Melissa was really great and communicative. This was my first time getting a sitter, and she was extremely patient, answering any concerns I had. She went above and beyond for my cat, helping her feel less lonely, cleaning her area, and refilling necessities. I will definitely book again when I go out of town!”

“Stacie went above and beyond with taking care of our older and slightly grumpy cat Dutch! She cleaned and cared for our home and pet like it was her own and honestly, she is just a wonderful person with the best energy! We felt completely at ease and comfortable with Stacie taking care of our baby while we were away. She also sent amazing photos and was very detailed in her updates and messages throughout her visits. Thank you Stacie!”

“Cabby was absolutely amazing! From the very beginning, she communicated effectively and consistently, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. My dog loved her, and it was clear from every update that he felt comfortable, cared for, and happy in her presence. Her visit notes were thoughtful and detailed, and the pictures she sent were truly the highlight of my day. I looked forward to every update because I could see how well my dog was doing and how much care she put into each visit. Cabby is truly a dog whisperer. She was attentive, reliable, kind, and so easy to work with. I am incredibly grateful for the care she provided and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and loving to care for their pet.”

“Vivian was excellent with our pets. She came by before the first visit to meet the dogs and cat and get a feel for the house and the animals. She was very kind and gentle with our shy pets. She was also very attentive and had excellent communication with us throughout the time we were away.”

“This is my second booking with Melanie and each time she’s been fantastic to work with…she made sure my kitty was given all of his medication and always took lots of pics during each visit. I highly recommend her!”

“Julianne was great! I had to find a drop in last minute because my usual dog sitter couldn’t board my dogs. She was so responsive and followed all the directions I gave her. I get super anxious about my dogs, but she definitely helped ease my mind. I would gladly book her again!”

“It’s always such a pleasure booking Maria to come and house sit for my cat. She is so loving and thoughtful. She is very responsive and trustworthy. I recommend her as a dependable sitter for your kitties while you’re away!”

“My Kitty absolutely loves Shanese, and I do too! She’s so responsive and reliable, even on short notice! She makes sure to give my fur baby all the love and attention she needs while I’m away. Highly recommended for anyone in the area looking for a sitter!”

“Yvonne has done a couple drop ins for my puppy and she is great. She was happy to meet before our first visit which gave me peace of mind. Yvonne is very prompt with visits and sends lots of photos. Highly recommend!”

“Joey responded like literally within seconds of me requesting his services. He was able to do a same day visit and he did not disappoint. My puppy was fed and Joey got him to poop and pee outside at first meeting (my puppy doesn't do it for me). I would recommend anyone in the area to not only pay for his services, but to believe he will do just what your baby needs.”

“I appreciate Edward’s professionalism and compassionate care. He was able to accommodated a last minute request and did so cheerfully. Excellent communication and very kind. my dog loved him. Great job!”

“Morgan has become the go to sitter for my dogs! She takes excellent care of them and sends tons of photos throughout each visit. The girls are always excited to see her!”

“Desiree was so helpful in watching our dogs! We haven’t had anyone dog sit at home before and she made us feel completely comfortable and constantly updated us on how the dogs were doing and sent pictures!”

“Danelle did a great job taking care of Luna, our 4 month old Cavapoo pup! Danelle is very reliable and communicated well, would highly recommend!”

“Sergio did such a great job checking in on Holly this weekend! She’s an anxious cat, but she warmed up to him quickly. He kept me updated and made sure she was well cared for. I’d definitely book him again!”

“Rachel took great care of our 2 cats. We were able to book last minute since we forgot about holiday arrangements for our cats and she was very quick to respond. She was communicative, took great pictures, and went above and beyond in cleaning up my one cat's throw up which was greatly appreciated. Highly recommend!”

“Amanda was great! She was very punctual and followed all the feeding instructions for our cats perfectly. She responded quickly and sent cutest pictures of them. We would definitely book with her again! 😊”
Downtown pet parents share their Rover experiences
We had an amazing experience Kayla during the week she spent with our dogs, Cookie and Bella. From the moment we left, we felt completely at ease knowing our pups were in such caring and capable hands. She kept us updated with photos and messages, gave Cookie and Bella plenty of attention, exercise, and affection, and treated them like family. When we returned home, both dogs were happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. We couldn't have asked for a better experience and would highly recommend Kayla to anyone looking for a trustworthy, loving dog sitter. Thank you for taking such wonderful care of Cookie and Bella!

Julianne was great! I had to find a drop in last minute because my usual dog sitter couldn’t board my dogs. She was so responsive and followed all the directions I gave her. I get super anxious about my dogs, but she definitely helped ease my mind. I would gladly book her again!

Rachel did an amazing job with my cat Charlie! She communicated really well during all days and provided amazing pictures and details of her visits. I really enjoyed working with her and would recommend her for anyone looking for a loving and responsible person!

Robert has spent two days with my 10 week old puppy and she is already smitten. We were so lucky on day two for his girlfriend Alex to join in on the fun! I was very nervous the first day of Salsa being left home alone but Robert was so timely and took ample photos! He put me at such ease and for the first time in days Salsa slept all afternoon! I know it’s thanks to Robert playing hard with her that I was able to get some chores around the house done. I’m so happy we connected. Salsa is completely smitten! He works with my schedule and is super flexible and quick to respond to messages. I wouldn’t trust Salsa with anyone else!

Natali was so thoughtful and caring with my cat. She also made sure to coordinate meeting with me prior to the scheduled visits to ensure she fully understood the process of the particular medicine my cat needed. I really appreciated that and the consistent updates. Thank you Natali!!
