“I don't go out of town much and am always concerned about leaving my kitties. But I am going on a cruise and needed to evaluate pet sitters. So I went on a quick trip so I could find out. Cassie was outstanding! I know how particular I am so I was a little stressed. I even left a sheet with instructions. lol But she did a great job. And I was surprised to see that all my kitties like her. Will definitely see if she is available for any of my future trips.”

“Liz did an AMAZING job of dropping in to care for my two cats. She really took interest in their personalities and needs, and I could really tell that she loves furry friends. Whether it was playing, cuddles, or to be left alone, Liz was able to read each cat and act accordingly. Even my scared-y cat became more comfortable with her by the end of the trip! Plus the notes and photos she sent after each visit were really something that I was looking forward to. I absolutely recommend Liz and I’m sure my cats are looking forward to having her back!”

East Jacksonville pet parents share their Rover experiences
I am thrilled to have found Shira! She is a lovely person and my cats warmed up to her immediately. Even my elderly, former feral cat loved her. She was quick to communicate about a potential issue with one of the kitties on the first day and it was solved almost immediately. I came home to relaxed and happy cats with immaculate dishes and litter-boxes. It is clear that Shira loves animals and I feel so at peace knowing that I have someone trustworthy to watch my babies in the future.
