1. Heather S.

“Heather took care of my cat Jasper for several days while I traveled to California. She went above and beyond by bringing over additional cat toys for play time and provided Jasper some anxiety relief drops when he was getting anxious about me being gone for so long. I would definitely recommend Heather to anyone looking for a reliable cat sitter!”


2. Rachel G.

“Rachel is so great! She is attentive, friendly, and so good with the cats! She followed our instructions perfectly and she is communicative throughout the entire process. We felt safe leaving our cats with her and we will be booking with her in the future. We would give her 6 stars if we could!”


3. Dayna C.


“Dana was so wonderful with our kitty! It was our first time leaving him alone while we went out of town and we were a little nervous because he’s very shy around new people. By her second visit with him it was clear he was perfectly comfortable and so happy to see her. Dana sends many pictures and gives you thorough updates with each visit, so you know your baby is safe and happy. She cares very much about each animal she takes on, and you can tell! Highly recommend her!”


4. Mariela S.

“Mariela did a fantastic job for the week I was gone. She would notify me when she arrived and provided me with updates. Would definitely recommend her to anyone and would re-use her again in the future.”


5. Ashley B.

“Ashley was attentive and followed all of my instructions. She went above and beyond trying to befriend my shy guy cat lol. I'm definitely using her in the future for Gary!”


6. Rachel S.

“Rachel took amazing care of our cat for 19 days, and we couldn’t be happier with her service! She was punctual every day, spent quality time with our cat, and made sure he felt safe and comfortable. Our cat is usually very shy, but he warmed up to her within just a couple of days, which speaks volumes about her patience and kindness. She played with him daily, ensured he was well-fed, and kept his litter box clean. We also really appreciated the daily notes and pictures she sent through Rover, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. Rachel is a fantastic pet sitter, and we would absolutely work with her again. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable pet sitter!”


7. Kaitlin P.


“Kaitlin was great! The dogs loved her and she took great care of them! She’s very responsive and gives great feedback. Would definitely hire again! Thanks Kaitlin!”


8. Beth R.


“Beth was absolutely AMAZING. This was our first time meeting her and using her. She met us for a “meet & greet” before the scheduled days we needed her for, and it was very helpful. She does this as a full time job and can tell she is so passionate about it. She was great with my pups. She followed all our instructions, took tremendous care of them, was always on time, offered yummy treats and captures great photos. I will definitely use her again!”


9. Maricela P.

“Maricela, did an absolute great job checking in on my two dogs. She sent photos, updates and really gave me peace of mind. We will definitely be using her again in the future.”


10. Victoria J.

“Victoria has been a reliable cat sitter, they obviously love her which is very reassuring when we have to leave town. She’s flexible with changes in plan which we really appreciate too”


11. Jennifer M.

“Jennifer is an incredible sitter! We have had her watch our cat Charlie a few times and she goes above and beyond for him while we are away! She brings extra toys and sends the best photos of him and treats him like a pet or her own. We would recommend Jennifer over and over again”


12. Terri M.
“Terri is a wonderful pet sitter and one of the few people I trust with my pets! She has lots of experience with taking care of all different breeds of dogs, hamsters, guinea pigs, and even hedgehogs! I love that she is super active and loves taking dogs for long walks, and always gives them her undivided attention! I could tell she genuinely loves and really cares for all animals. Highly recommend booking with Terri!!”


13. Wendy K.
“Wendy is a great person who is dependable, warm and funny. She is careful and responsible, and puts responsibility and commitment before her own personal convenience. If she says she will care for your pets, she will do it and do it well! I have known her dear dog (passed away) who was gentle, well behaved, and an important part of Wendy's life. I have since seen her adopt two crazy kittens who she has gently raised while laughing along. These animals have felt security and love from her, and have loved her back. Wendy has taken care of my two greyhounds at my home, and I trust her completely to do so. I can't count on everyone to make sure they are walked properly and don't escape, but I can trust Wendy. She also plays with them and genuinely loves them as she does all animals. I can't say how highly I recommend Wendy!”


14. Janet T.


“Janet was awesome. My dogs loved her. This is the first time leaving them with someone other than myself and my adult daughter. She was so patient with them as they had many accidents and were very out of sorts. She was dependable and kind. Highly recommended!”


15. Kristen C.

“We were so thankful to Kristen for scheduling a drop-in visit on very short notice. She checked in with us and sent great photos letting us know our doggies were well cared for. We will definitely reach out to Kristen in the future for pet sitting needs.”


16. Renee N.

“Renee was great! Loved that she took the time beforehand to do a meet n greet. She even did an extra meet n greet because we booked so far in advance and it had been awhile. Attentive, kind, and her passion for animals is clear! Thank you 😊”


17. Raquel M.

“Raquel did a wonderful job! My cat looked content and happy in the pictures. I felt very safe leaving Buttons in her care.”


18. Mary D.

“Mary was great with our dog! She visited prompt, on schedule, took photos for us and even left a little homemade card! Will definitely book again!”


19. CLAIRA M.

“Great communication. Very attentive.”


20. Caleigh B.
“Caleigh is someone that is not only trustworthy but such a joy to be around. Her love and respect for pets can brighten up any mood. She’s heavily involved with fostering and always one of the first to respond in helping however she can. She is someone you trust around your family and pets. You will thank yourself later that she was the person to take care of your furry loved ones when you’re in need. She’s the perfect match. Your pets will be asking to book her in advance :)”
