1. Christa B.
“This is my 6th or 7th time using Krista for our cats. One who needs medicine injected orally twice a day. She is the only one we trust besides ourselves to get the job done and take care of our cats. We were just away for 17 days and we came back to happy and healthy cats. Don’t hesitate on booking her :)”
2. Kayla T.
“My monsters loved her, they were happy and amazingly taken care of. Kayla is the Mary Poppins of all dog sitters out there, not a faint of heart for sure when it comes to a velociraptor in training ? we will be definitely using her services in the near future!”
3. Jacquelyn V.
“Jacequelyn checked in on my cat the week of Christmas kind of last minute and we are so grateful for her! She gave Snowball his wet food and some attention every morning. Great job!”
4. Sam L.
“Sam was a wonderful cat sitter! She was quick to communicate and shared lots of photos. After we returned home, I'm pretty sure one of our cats went to the door at Sam's typical arrival time to wait for her! Sam also thoughtfully took the stinky litter garbage to the outside trash, even though I had said it wasn't necessary. We'd love to have her back next time we're out of town.”
5. Bri B.
“Bri took such good care of my anxious lil guy. He can be A LOT and she was very understanding and nice about everything. I can’t thank her enough! She was patient with my building’s entrance system, respectful, professional and sweet! Also, she took the best pictures of my doggie. Will definitely ask her to sit again, if possible!”
6. Karen H.
“Karen was amazing and filled in for a last minute drop in! She is super responsive, caring, asks thoughtful questions, and trustworthy. My shy dog warmed up to her so fast ☺️ I would highly recommend Karen.”
7. Liana H.
“Liana was fantastic! She was responsive, prompt for our meet and greet, and kept in touch with messages and photos while taking care of our senior kitty. Will definitely use her again!”

10. Annemarie B.
“We felt extremely comfortable with Annemarie after we initially met her and knew our pups were going to be in safe hands. We received detailed updates and photos with each drop in! She did a great job and will definitely use her services in the future.”

“Rebecca was great with my cat Motek! She was very communicative. Motek is normally very shy with most people but loved Rebecca. Highly recommend.”
12. Davis M.
“Davis was a great choice for our senior dog and two cats. She met all our pets beforehand, fell in love we out sweet old dog Hannah. We left a note with all the pertinent information about the pets, routines and idiosyncrasies. Davis was very conscientious, punctual, genuinely caring for our pets and their welfare in our absence. Hannah can get nervous and Davis took the time to be with her and put her at ease. We received daily reports for each visit and photos to go along. We knew that our pets were well cared for and we were able to enjoy our time away because of it. I truly recommend Davis for her mature and responsible work ethic, for her genuine love of pets, her friendly, professional attitude.”
13. Renee S.
“Renee saved us when our planned pet sitter had a last minute emergency and could no longer come to our home to let out & feed our senior dog. Renee had no issue with such a last minute appointment and was absolutely wonderful. She asked great questions, kept us updated with her visit and took amazing care of our senior who has mobility issues.”
14. Aidan F.

19. Kayla D.
“Kayla was really great checking in on our two pups. We also have a cat and some fish that she kept an eye on and fed for the weekend while she was checking in on our dogs. Kayla met with me a couple weeks ahead of time to meet the dogs and go over their routine. She also stopped by the day we left to pick up the spare keys, go over our apartment security system settings, review the care instructions for the whole gang and make sure everything any final questions were answered. She stopped in at the times requested, fed and walked the dogs as asked, and provided photos in the Rover Cards.”
20. Katherine L.
“Katherine took great care of my two cats while I was on a business trip and kept me updated on their shenanigans. She didn’t just feed them and clean litter boxes; she also interacted with them and even got my shy guy to come out of his shell. I would absolutely trust her with my pets again.”
