Kassy did a great job with my Labrador. My furry friend has a fenced yard and is rarely on a leash. Kassy took the time to get her used to her harness before walking her.

Jenevieve is a literal angel. She was just supposed to do a drop-in to see Deku and let him out. My A/C went out the night before the scheduled visit and it’s was 100 degrees outside. Jenevieve took him to her home to watch him for the day while I was at work. If it wasn’t for her, Deku would definitely not be okay! She saved the day and saved me from so much stress during my first day at my new job! A literal lifesaver!

Cory is the most pet friendly human I’ve ever met! From having his own pets that he loves unconditionally, to meeting my dog and immediately bonding with her, Cory would make an excellent pet sitter. I trust Cory with my own dog, that I consider my child, so I know he is a trustworthy person for the job!

I haven’t used a service like this before and was kind of hesitant about it. Andrea did a fantastic job and took excellent care of my Yoda. I will definitely be using this service again. Thank you Andrea!

My dogs and cat were in such good hands. Highly recommend him. Will use again and again. Was in another country and he was so patient with my payment issue. I didn’t have to worry even at 3700 miles away.

Tarah is such a great cat sitter! Our kitties warmed up to her so quickly. Very flexible scheduling, always responsive via text or Rover message, kept us in the loop with lots of cute pics of our babies. Will definitely be rebooking in the future!

Our cats are still warming up to the idea of people and tend to hide (even from us on some days), but Nichole did her best to win them over anyway. It gave me great peace of mind to know the person checking on them was so attentive, even if the cats themselves weren't enthusiastic about a new friend. Thanks so much!

Kayla provided excellent cat care for my two kitties over the holidays. I have one cat with anxiety who takes medication and Kayla was able to keep her calm and administer the medication with no issues. My cats warmed up to Kayla immediately and they were totally calm when I returned home. My home was in great condition, including the litter box, when I returned. Communication & photos were consistently great while I was away. I would be thrilled to rebook Kayla for pet sitting again in the future.

Stephanie did a great job with our cats! She sent picture updates and kept us informed the whole time. She did a great job making sure our cats had all they needed, and even offered to come over during the 4th of July to make sure they weren’t too stressed. She was great!

Lacey has taken excellent care of my two Boston terriers on a regular basis for years now! One is a senior who needs carried up and down stairs with assorted health issues that come with age including needing eyedrops and different meds. The other is a high energy little guy who needs constant cuddles, playing & attention. Both absolutely adore her and I know they get the best possible care with her! I travel often for work & she’s the only person I feel comfortable leaving them with. She’s also incredible with cats of any age & temperament. Your fur kid will thank you for having her come hang out with them. Couldn’t reccomend higher.

Priscilla loves dogs and happy helped us raise our litter of Great Pyrenees/Red Bone Coon Hound puppies. She was helpful in setting up our puppy area and keeping it clean. She came and helped me keep the puppies and Mom on their feeding schedule and did all our other chores as well. She lives her own animals and is very positive person.
