1. Susan R.


“She was so great with my 2 kitties! One was super bashful the first couple days and she really went out of her way to find him and help him warm up to her. I also really appreciated how she constantly checked in and asked questions instead of just making assumptions!”


2. Jennah M.

“Amazing with the pups. We have one who is a little finicky and she was able to get him to corporate. She took her time with him and I was so appreciative of her efforts! Send lots of photos and cares for the dogs like her own!”


3. Kilie A.

“Kilie was awesome! She showed up on time for every feeding, gave our kitties some love and attention and made sure they were well taken care of. We’ve never left our cats in the care of anyone other than family so we were a little nervous about how it would go, but Kilie was so good that we now feel free to travel as long as we can book her.”


4. Margaret P.

“Margaret did a wonderful job with our cat Ghost! It was our first time using Rover and we were nervous but she was so thorough. She came to meet us and Ghost for a meet and greet to start. She administered our cat’s oral medication and fed her twice a day. She is very kind, considerate and timely! Easy to communicate and we liked getting updates and photos twice a day. We can tell our cat really appreciated her attention and care. Will be happy to work with Margaret again!”


5. Jamie E.

“Jamie was super nice. Met with us a few days before the drop in date, spent some time with my dog who loved her right away. We will definitely be asking her to check on him again in the future.”


6. Gabrielle C.

“Gabrielle is fantastic and very dependable! She came ahead of time just to meet my dog and they hit it off and have already had two extended times together that went great!”




7. Georgianne C.

“Georgianne was so great with our pups and she communicated with us so well! We knew each time she was stopping by and she provided us pictures to help reassure the pups were doing well! Highly recommend Georgianne to anyone!”


8. Hayley R.

“Hayley was awesome with my dog! 😁 She is caring, responsible and sent the best pictures. She played with all of my dog's favorite toys! I highly recommend her 😊”


9. Darian H.
“Darian has been nothing but amazing with my pets! I have a 7 year old golden retriever, who is highly active. And I also have a 1 year old cat. She goes above and beyond with both, but especially my dog because she’s so energetic and needy. She takes her for walks, brings her to the park and plays fetch. It’s comforting that she provides photos and updates while they’re together. She also feeds my dog and makes sure to give her the supplements she needs at the right feeding times. It makes me feel at ease when she’s taking care of my animals because I know they’re in the best hands! Highly recommend Darian to everyone!”




10. Rachel Z.
“Rachel Z is one of the most compassionate animal lovers I know. With every pet I have ever seen her with, she has really gotten to know the animal, it's behaviors, likes, dislikes, and temperment. She then works with it.. Every animal she has been with loved her as much as she has loved it. She is,excuse the pun, the "animal's best friend".”


11. Jimmy S.
“My dog, Bailey loves it when Jimmy Shah comes to feed and walk her! Bailey can be a challenge for non-family members because she is a blind older dog (15 years old) but Jimmy handles her with care and respect.”


12. Hannah M.

“Hannah was great! Communicated with me well. The dogs seemed very happy in the photos she sent and when I got home from work. Will definitely rebook”


13. August S.

“August has been great with our dogs and cats. We have one dog that is a little nervous around new people but August handled it perfectly and put Pippa right at ease. Excellent communication and dependable.”


14. Kaleigh J.

“Kal took excellent care of our cat Oliver while we were out of town. They were extremely prompt with visits and communications, sent us lots of pictures and updates, and even accommodated an extra visit when our flight home was cancelled. They went above and beyond in caring for Oliver, and he was completely comfortable with them. We highly recommend Kal and will be requesting their cat sitting help again!”


15. Meghan R.

“Meghan handled the visits and my cats excellently. I came home to two contented cats and knowing I was coming back at the end of the evening, Meghan cleaned up so I wouldn't have to. What a wonderful surprise. I was so grateful. I will ask her again to visit my cats.”


16. Kristin L.
“Fast response, and professional setting up the drop-in visits! My dog took to her right away, and was clearly having a great time in the photos she shared. Highly recommend, and hope to have her take care of Bentley again!”


17. Luis W.

“Luis was a great help for us during the holiday season. His notes showed a lot of dedication and care for our dog. He took care of our dog during a recovery period after a stomach issue. Luis was careful to take care of correct time for the medicine and took our dog to long walks. Super recommended!”


18. Shelby S.

“This was our first time using Shelby. She came out to our home for a meet/greet. She was very friendly and her love for animals was very apparent. She did an awesome job with two scheduled drop- ins with our 2 cats! She updated us daily and sent pictures to us!! We felt very comfortable with her in our house and are looking forward to hiring her again! thank you Shelby”


19. Kenny I.
“My wife and I went away for a few days and entrusted Kenny to watch our dog, Otto. He provided updates throughout and we felt the dog was in safe hands the entire time. We will be choosing Kenny the next time we go away! Recommend very highly!”


20. Dana O.

“Dana did an excellent job caring for our cat while we were traveling. It was great to receive updates and pictures each day so we know that he was doing okay. Dana was easy to communicate with and kept us updated on anything going on and what our cat was up to on each of her visits. We will definitely be booking with Dana again!”
