Madeline did a great job watching our 1 year old Zuko. She was very communicative and sent plenty of pictures! Even dealt with getting into our apartment after we had accidentally locked the door. Would recommend!

Really happy with our first set of visits for a longer-term weekend arrangement! She was attentive to my cat’s needs and pays attention to the little things. When I returned from my trip, my cat was calm & happy and I can tell he was taken care of well. Updates were always timely and she has been very easy to contact when needed/planning etc. which is a something I really needed in a pet sitter and value so so much. She also went the extra mile helping out with monitoring some extra things after a recent health issue he had and am so appreciative of that! We are so happy and relieved to have this great arrangement with a great person, thanks Kaitlyn!

Grace is amazing! The cats were well loved and taken care of. I got daily reports on how things were going. Even Georgiana who is scared of strangers felt comfortable enough to get some cuddles with her. I’ll definitely use Grace next time I need someone to watch them.

This was our first time using Rover and we couldn't hope for a better experience. Shelly was professional, communicative, and easy to work with. She provided us with daily updates and pictures of our cats, When we returned home we saw our cat's food corner cleaner and more organized then we left it. This community could use more people like Shelly.

Joshua and I have been friends for several years. Since my fiancé and I gotten my mini poodle Olive, Joshua has dogsat Olive multiple times on various occasions. Joshua has been a wonderful caretaker of Olive. Joshua is very active and takes Olive out on walks and hikes every time Olive stays over. I can tell Olive had an exciting time just based on how tired he is every time he comes back from Uncle Joshua's. Joshua is also very responsible. He brushes Olive's fur daily, regularly sends us picture and text updates, and checks in with us with anytime there's a slight change in Olive's behavior. Finally, Joshua is very loving with Olive. When Olive is with Uncle Joshua, he sits on Joshua's lap during work, goes with Joshua everywhere, and sleeps in his bed at night. Olive in return has formed a strong bond with him. He is always happy to see Joshua, and when it's time to go home with us, he quietly whines about leaving his Uncle Joshua. All in all, I can't recommend Joshua as a dogsitter enough. Any doggo would be lucky to spend a few days with Uncle Joshua!

Hans is an excellent, trustworthy caregiver! We volunteered together at an animal shelter walking dogs and he was always patient, calm, and happy to see the dogs. He handled leash reactivity well. He's also one of the best cat-dads I know and will take just as great care of your fur babies as he does his own!

I'm so glad I booked with Ondrehya to check in on Cosmo while I was out of town this weekend. My girl Cosmo is not used to being alone for long periods of time so it was important to me that I hired someone with warm, compassionate energy. I think Cosmo really enjoyed Ondrehya's company. They played, snuggled and had some snacks. She also ensured the basics were covered ( clean litter box + top off water fountain). I really appreciate Ondrehya taking an hour out of her Saturday to spend it with Cosmo!!
