I am so happy to have found Amber! She took great care of my 3 cats and was great with communication and updates while I was away. She was even able to get my shy kitty to come out for brushing. I will definitely be rebooking in the future!

Meridith is a treasure! She was a last minute booking for a holiday and we were so fortunate to find her. She was dependable, friendly and spent quality time with my boy. Thank you so much Meridith!

Kenneth gave my pup plenty of love, cleaned up after an unfortunate accident (Puppyhood! Gotta love it), and sent lots of cute photos to make us feel comfortable. He took great care of her during his multiple visits today and he shows great care and love for other’s animals!

First time. I have no complaints. She cleaned up what was unexpected. It was also very short notice but was great at responding back. I really appreciate it!

Erika is calm, trustworthy, and knowledgeable. She has been coming to my house to do midday drop ins for my two sighthounds. They are usually reserved around new people, but Erika won them over right away. Highly recommend!

About: I’ve grown up with dogs most of my life and have lived with multiple cat owners as well. I feel like pets like my calm and loving demeanor 😊 I enjoy the flexibility this profession allows and I love the outdoors. If your pet wants a long walk in the sun or just needs to stretch its legs in the backyard I’m down for either! 😁 I feel as though my laid back demeanor is great for working with animals and even the pickiest cats have fallen for me. I’m great at reading the body language of animals and know when they want a belly rub or when they want me to sit six feet away.

Liz was wonderful! She took great care of our elderly cat, Lily, while we were away. Liz noticed her water drinking & eating habits, listened to Lily’s complaints and demands, and did such a great job keeping us updated. We’ll be reaching out to Liz again next time we need a pet sitter!

Amanda was absolutely amazing! This was my first time using Rover, and I felt so safe and comfortable with her watching my kitties. My apartment unfortunately had a leak while I was away, and she went above and beyond to make sure that it was taken care of. She provided photos every day of my boys and spent time getting to know them and building trust by giving them treats and hanging out with them. 10/10! Thank you, Amanda!

Lindsey and Jose were amazing! I can't thank them enough for the way they took extra special care of our dogs. Their patience, communication, attention to detail, and willingness to go above and beyond were impressive. We are so grateful and appreciative of them. Being away from my dogs caused me anxiety; Lindsey absolutely took the time to make me feel at ease and provided a ton of updates and pictures. We are excited to have people we can trust with our dogs moving forward and look forward to booking them again....thanks Lindsey and Jose!!!

I loved Kiah! Very professional. She sent me a detailed update of how my cat was doing during each of her visits with many pictures to go along with it while I was on my out-of-state vacation. I asked her to bring in mail while I was gone and she gladly did that for me as well! My Nola seemed so happy when she was around and I would definitely rebook with her when I’m not in town again.

This turned out to be the best service ever. Erika was amazing and I hope she'll become a regular for Scout. I unintentionally became the sole responsible human to a neighbors cat. I believe she's now needing a permanent home. I hadn't planned for this as we are retired and plan to travel. Finally true empty nesters. We kept Scout inside for our first trip with no clue how she'd do, but daily visits were perfect. We have decided to keep Scout. ☺️

So glad I found Katie to watch my girl for a last minute sitter. After an initial meet and greet, I felt confident that my dog would be in good hands. I received lots of feedback and cute pictures/video of my dog during Katie’s visit, which I loved. I would definitely book again; thanks Katie!

Miss Mandy is by far amazing. She goes above and beyond in everything she does for the dogs. She truly does treat them like they are her own pups. My three babies absolutely love her, especially my big boy! I work long hours and because of her I finally have a peace of mind. Thank you for all you do.💙

I had a great experience with this dog sitter and would highly recommend her. She paid close attention to every detail and made sure all of my dogs’ routines and needs were followed perfectly. It was clear that she genuinely cared about them and took the time to make them feel comfortable. My dogs absolutely loved her and were excited to see her each day.
