“There wasn't a moment I worried about my pet was being well cared for while I took a 10 day trip to Panama. Christa sent many photos of each visit. I was delighted to see she brought some new toys and even a brush for my girl. My mail was on the counter and my plants were watered too (which I hadn't even asked for her to do). I think Frankie is actually missing her haha! I will have to hire her again to come back! Thanks Christa you're the best :)”

She made our cat crew feel safe and respected around her and even coaxed our shy cat out from her hidey hole.

Alex provided excellent care for Nova really going above and beyond our expectations. He spent time playing with her, taking her on nice walks, and keeping us apprised of his activities with our “fur baby”. A great experience all the way around. We will definitely be requesting his services again.
Christin did an amazing job taking care of my kitties! This was my first time using Rover and I was extremely nervous. I wasn’t sure what to expect and was worried about having a stranger come into my home. But Christin was so responsive, thoughtful, and took such good care of my cats. She even cleaned my water fountain, even though I didn’t specifically ask her to. She went above and beyond and I am very pleased.
Lizzie took great care of our two cats! She was great about staying in touch with us and is a delightful person to communicate with in general. She was able to make sure our more skittish cat came out to eat - vital, obviously, but not always easy! Just a super reliable person who made it possible for us to be away with our minds at ease. We’re grateful for her help!
Sage was such a great sitter for my two cat's and made it a great experience. Leaving my boys always gives me anxiety since my one has a lot of health issues and is on an inhaler with liquid medication. They made the process so easy and comfortable. While checking in with my cats they would send me the cutest pictures of them. Overall a great experience would definitely book them for my next vacation!
Alison is fantastic!! She was so lovely during our meet and greet, and was so sweet with my little Harry which made me feel confident about the visit. She kept me updated during the check-in and was wonderful with my little guy. She is kind, reliable, and very capable. I highly recommend her and will definitely book with Alison again!
