Straightforward and on time - I came into my house smelling the same way I left it and even a little cleaner. I really appreciate her communication and clear understanding of my cats.

Isaac is amazing!! I had a wonderful experience working with him. He excels in communication, always providing updates in a very detailed way that puts me at ease. Even though I wasn't home with Jake (my Bernedoodle), Isaac was able to make me follow the whole situation due to his articulation - and this is very helpful knowing how nervous Jake's personality is. With Isaac's patience and experience, he was able to earn Jake's trust even though Jake is particularly very nervous toward males. Isaac followed all the instructions I provided and he was very responsive the whole time. I highly recommend Isaac to help with your pups. Thank you so much, Isaac. Jake and I are very pleased with your help!!

Denise was able to accommodate me with a dog walk at the last minute when I was in a bind. My dogs and I liked her immediately upon meeting, and I feel very comfortable knowing she will be with them on my next trip out of town.

Can’t recommend Francesca highly enough. We have 2 super shy cats who she’s been able to coax out for treats and play time, giving us much-needed peace of mind when we’re away. Francesca is super communicative, follows all directions with care, and sends plenty of photos. A+ cat sitter!

Lin is a very thorough and compassionate catsitter and I’m extremely happy that I booked her for my first Rover appointment. She spent lots of time at the meet and greet to get to learn our preferences and my cat’s personality. My kitty has a big personality and has also been acting out a bit because this was the first time he was taken care of by someone he didn’t know, but Lin consistently offered tons of patience and attention to make sure he felt happy and comfortable with her care. I would highly recommend Lin to anyone!

She walked my dog with such care and thoughtfully adjusted the routine based on the weather. Thank you, Rebecca, for treating my baby like your own—Pillow adores you!

Wow, talk about going above and beyond! We are so grateful for Isaac caring for our two pups while we were out of town. He provided thorough updates in each check-in, amazing photos, and is just an overall responsive and caring person. We can’t wait to have him watch our pups again. He is trusted, kind, and will treat your fur babies like one of his own. Thank you, Isaac!!!
