1. Brooke D.

“We used Brooke to check on our kitties while we were on vacation for a week. We’ve got two unintegrated cats so we needed them to stay separated and cared for individually and Brooke was awesome for that! We only booked 30 min drop in visits, but Brooke went beyond to make sure each kitty got some attention and love.”


2. Jen D.

“Jen was phenomenal! She cared for Dexter like he was her own, she was punctual, sent lots of pictures and followed care instructions well. Should I need care in the future, she is someone I have come to trust both in my home and with my best friend.”


3. Shannon H.

“We couldn't be more pleased with the exceptional care our dogs received from Shannon. She went above and beyond, providing detailed updates during her visits that put our minds at ease. It was evident that she genuinely cared for our dogs, treating them like her own. We highly recommend Shannon.”




4. Eileen M.

“Eileen walked Toby and checked in on him. She also did a meet and greet prior to the day she was going to walk Toby so he was comfortable with her. That was comforting. She was great!”


5. Tara N.

“Tara was so kind and caring towards my golden retriever pup. She’s super knowledgeable about puppy training and I cant wait to work with her again! Thank you so much, Tara!”

7. Safeeyah Q.

“Safeeyah was absolutely amazing for our first time ever using Rover! She made us feel so safe and confident in having our cats looked after. She gave great and thorough updates and asked if there was anything she needed help with. Highly highly recommend!”


8. Laura S.
“Laura truly cared for my two dogs like they were her own. She was very attentive to their individual needs and quirks and went out of her way to make them feel comfortable with her. My one dog, Freddie, is fearful of new people and was initially skeptical of Laura. By the end of the week, she was easily his favorite human! It is a huge relief knowing your critters are well taken care of and well loved when you're away. She sent us regular photos and updates and was wonderful all around. Highly recommend!”


9. Maggie P.

“Maggie went above and beyond - including braving a winter snowstorm - to make sure our cat was well cared for while we were out of town. Couldn’t recommend more highly!”


10. Kali B.


“Kali checked in on our cat Addy for 10 days - she was extremely reliable, communicative, and Addy seemed to really enjoy her visits. I would gladly book again!”


11. Wing C.


“Wing did a great job taking care of our cats! She took good care of them with feeding and watering, and sent us an absolutely amazing crop of photos with all of her check-ins. We will reach out again next time we need a sitter. Thanks again, Wing!”

15. Tina K.
“Tina was such a wonderful pet sitter! She asked very thoughtful questions about our pup and our routines with her. She made sure Rosie got all of her special things at all the right times! She kept us updated on how Rosie was doing while we were away, including sending some very cute photos! We completely trusted her with Rosie, and with our house. We will definitely be in touch with Tina in the future!”


16. Brittany S.
“Brittany is so great with our three dogs! They are excited to spend time with her and I love knowing they are safe and well cared for. Brittany is a great communicator; I always receive updates and pictures. Highly recommend!”




17. Leah B.

“leah did a great job with my kitties. They did not seem needy when I got home like they usually do. My house was neat and tidy just as I had left it and Leah brought in packages that had arrived while I was gone. She also sent some pictures through Rover which my girls enjoyed lots.”


18. Madalyn L.

“Madelyn did a ln absolutely amazing job taking care of my cats. She was compassionate towards them and was trustworthy on her work. Highly recommended!!”


19. Annmarie S.
“Annmarie is one of the best pet-moms I know! She has taken care of my cat, Goose, many times while I have been on trips and he adores his time with her. I always return to a happy cat! She is a wonderful owner to her dog, Nina, and two cats, Rhu and Simba. Every time I visit Annmarie her pets are happy, energetic, and clearly taken care of very well. She loves going on long walks with Nina, and will be an excellent walker or babysitter for any pet! She is flexible with her schedule, kind, and accommodating––all around the best person! I can't recommend her enough.”


20. Andrea S.
“Andrea is an exceptionally reliable, kind, and energetic person who has experience caring for a wide range of animals. The only real risk is that your pet will like her too much. Very highly recommended!”
