First time using Rover and jenevieve made everything so easy for us! She watched our boy milo for the week and went above and beyond for us! Milo looked as if he was missing us and so she took Milo over to her own home so Milo could play it with her pups and even got to stay the night! We appreciate everything she has done. Highly recommend this lady here!

Absolutely wonderful. Never had to worry about what my girls were up to to or how they were doing. Rachael kept me well informed while I was out of town. Definitely, I will schedule again.

Robbie has watched my grouchy old lady cat for me multiple times and goes above and beyond each time. She brought lunch over to sit with her while she checked on food and water levels to give her some cuddles and social time. She takes care of all animals as if they were her own and is the best of the best! Fully recommend - 5 stars !! 🙃

Vivian took exceptional care of our fur babies while we were gone for a long vacation! She took the time to bond and play with our cats and sent us detailed updates with pictures. We had great peace of mind knowing they were in her care! She was super accommodating as well and even watered our flowers and filled plant humidifiers daily! Definitely recommend her services!

Sherri is an animal lover and frequently pet sits for her friends. She's the kind of person who keeps pet snacks in her car just in case she runs into a random cat or dog somewhere.

My little brother Jaden is a very patient, compassionate and understanding individual. I personally have 3 degrees in science and have worked intimately with a wide variety of animals in a number of geographic locations and have a deep respect for animals and wildlife of all shapes and sizes. I see much of these same attributes in my little brother. He recently put down his dog of 14 years due to failing health in his old age. He was a very dedicated and empathetic dog owner. I feel this would be a great opportunity for him to keep dogs in his life without having to jump back into a long term commitment right away.

Stephanie was super easy to coordinate with and very responsible, trustworthy, and friendly! She came to meet our cats ahead of time and was very attentive to the instructions we provided. She showed up when she said she would and provided text updates every time she visited for the duration of our trip. We will definitely be booking her again if she’s available for any future trips we take; very pleased with our experience with her!

Brad was top notch, we’re so happy we found him! Our dogs were happy and healthy when we got back home from vacation. Brad was punctual and we didn’t have to worry at all with our dogs in his hands. In fact, we immediately booked again with Brad and look forward to having him back. Thank you so much, Brad!

Shannon was awesome. When we first met her, she asked a lot of questions and really paid attention to Noslo. Since she was scheduled a few weeks in advance, as we got closer to the time scheduled, she reached out and was very easy to communicate with about our needs and Noslo's needs. Since we were going to be gone for long periods of time during the day, we set up times that she would come each day to give Noslo a break. She followed the plan and was able to play ball with Noslo and give him some attention to keep his mind off of us being gone for most of the day. She always kept us updated (even when we weren't responding to her messages) on what was going on and what Noslo was doing and feeling. She was very attentive to his needs and she really cared about how he felt. Although Noslo did miss us, we know that with Shannon stopping by and taking care of our baby during the day, he was able to expend some energy and I'm sure it eased some of his anxiety. We will be definitely requesting Shannon's services again!

Dachshunds approved. I booked Morgan for drop in visits while we were out of town. I was kind of nervous on how my 2 judgy wienerdogs would do, but somehow she won them over, and the pictures she sent proved it. So happy it all worked out.

Lisa, was great with my three cats. I have a almost 15 yr old male cat that has been very skittish all his life. Most pet sitters have never even gotten him out to eat his can food but Lisa not only got him out to eat but also got his medicine on his ears that he has to have twice a day every day for hypothyroidism. Knowing that he was taken care while my husband and I were out of town attending our daughters wedding was a hugh blessing. Thanks again Lisa.
