“Very reliable and provides updates on pets and any signs of changes in their behavior. My cats come right to her when she shows up and love to see her.”
2. Lisa M.
“We love LIsa! We do not know what we would do without her! She helps make us so much more comfortable knowing our senior boxer has company throughout the work day!”
3. Claire M.
“Claire wrote wonderful, descriptive accounts and provided cute, distinctive photos of her 5 1/2 days with our one-year-old cat Dori. Even through the pictures we could tell that Dori was comfortable and relaxed. We just got home and see that she is calm and happy. We'll definitely use Claire again -- and soon!”
4. Linda A.
“This is the third time Linda has cared for my cat. She clearly cares very much for his happiness and well-being. I appreciate her reports and photos. Thank you for allowing me to relax while I am away from home!”
5. Joanna Z.
“The best! Can trust completely to care for my pups when we are away and always so responsive and detailed with pictures and notes each visit :)”
6. Lindsey S.
“Lindsey is the BEST! She watched our cat and dog when we went away for a long weekend on such short notice. And she is very fairly priced and super responsive. She was able to come the day before so I could show her around. And she listened to everything I said, asked questions, and the pets loved her! She did a great job and went absolutely above and beyond! The amazing pics she took of our animals every visit was an added bonus to make us feel confident that we were in great hands. Do not hesitate to hire Lindsey to watch your pets! It’s always nerve wrecking to have someone watch your pets while you’re away. But you are in the best hands with Lindsey!! We will definitely use her again!”
7. Richard M.
“Richard is a good person and is very good with pets. I appreciate the fact that he was available in short notice to assist us in a pinch with our pet. I would recommend Richard for those in his service area.”
8. Clarissa M.
“Thank you so much! We will definitely be using Clarissa again. She was great and helped clean up a mess our cats made. She’s very responsive and made our first experience with a sitter a good one!”
9. Nikki A.
“We hired Nikki kind of last minute because another arrangement we had fell through. She responded to my inquiry quickly and came right over and met our two dogs and I showed her around the house and explained the general routine our dogs have. She seemed great with the dogs and I felt comfortable letting her come to the house while we were gone (about 2.5 days). Nikki came for all 10 of the scheduled visits right on time and she sent us a lot of great pics of the dogs enjoying themselves. We're super pleased with Nikki and would hire her again.”
10. Angela C.
“Angela is a great dog sitter, she was friendly and patient with our dogs, and spent time playing with them when we were away! She listen to our instructions and took really good care of our buys. We highly recommend her!”
11. Brady R.
“Brady did an excellent job caring for our pets while we were away. I was a little nervous leaving them since we recently moved and our German Shepherd Dog recently tore her CCL and this was their first visits with Brady. We had nothing to be concerned about though as Brady was so attentive and careful. She kept us in the loop with detailed reports, lots of photos and spent extra time giving love and attention to both our dog and our cat. We will definitely use her again in the future!”
12. Ivelisse V.
“I can't thank Ivelisse enough for the excellent care she gave my dog, Alex. From the first moment, her love and dedication were evident: she treated him as if he were her own, making sure he was happy and well-fed. She sent me photos of Alex playing and lying next to her, which gave me so much peace of mind. She earned Alex's trust, and mine too. I will definitely hire her again; I recommend her to anyone looking for someone responsible, committed, and loving. Thank you, Ivelisse, for your excellent service.”
13. Jen S.
“Jen took excellent care of our babies! We had both a cat and a bearded dragon that needed tending to. She took great photos of them and kept them healthy and happy.”
14. Ajanay D.
“Ajanay, you have been nothing but a wonderful blessing to us. Thank you for saying yes to us on a last minute notice when we urgently need someone to check on Keira, Luna, Moon and Kitchy. Words are not enough to say how grateful we are to you for taking great care of our fur babies and for going above and beyond with your service. They will definitely miss you after you spoiled them with love, care, attention, treats and toys. Your rover card reports and photo updates was such a treat to us. We are at peace and happy knowing our babies are well cared of, are safe and happy. I hope more people get to see and experience the kind of care you gave to our babies and for being simply awesome. Definitely, you will be our top choice next time we need someone to watch over them. If only I can give you more than 5 stars I will absolutely give you a perfect 10. Thank you once again, and I’m looking forward to meeting you next time. Happy Thanksgiving, Ajanay!”
15. Kendall C.
“Kendall was very responsive when I needed a dogsitter last minute. She arrived on time, took good care of the dogs, which allowed me to focus on doing my work and priorities. She is friendly and keeps me informed about arrival, gives an update about what she did with the dogs (I.e., let them out in yard, feed them, walk them). Great sitter!!”
16. Norman G.
“What can I say. Norman is very reliable.. Our dogs loved him right away.. He keeps on schedule unlike other sitters.. You can't go wrong with Norman. Will definitely have him again if he is free. I can understand why he is booked a lot.”
17. Sarah C.
“Sarah was always on time and gave us the piece of mind that our dog was being checked on and given plenty of attention. We will definitely hire her again!”
18. Danielle G.
“She was a great sitter, took care of both of my babies while I was away to my one week trip, very happy with her service!”
19. Arassely C.
“If you are looking for a dog sitter that truly cares about your loving family member then look no further Arassely is the person for the job! Our dog is nervous and Arassely help to make her feel comfortable and safe while we were gone. I would highly recommend her to all the animal lovers out there that are looking for peace of mind.”
