“I couldn't be happier with the care my cat, Sparks, received while I was out of town. Everything was in perfect order when I returned, and I had zero problems. My cat sitter was reliable, attentive, and clearly took great care of Sparks. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter!”
“Kristen was my first experience with a pet sitter, and I was very satisfied. You can tell that she is truly a pet-person - she raved about my kitty in the check-in notes. She also went above and beyond, and tidied up the litter box, even though I told her it wouldn’t probably need attention. Very satisfied with her and my first Rover experience.”
“Erica was very professional and took great care of our cat for a week while we were out of town. I would recommend her to anyone looking for prompt and professional pet care. Thank you again, Erica!”
“Briana did a great job in watching my four cats for a nine day trip! She followed the directions perfectly, which weren’t the easiest since one cat has different food from the other’s and another has urinary issues so he can’t eat that food. She sent me pictures of them all every day, and gave them attention! They really liked her visits!”
