Thank you Monica for taking care of my kitties while we were out of town. We could tell in the pictures that they really like you and looked calm and happy.

Jeremy was fantastic! He went above and beyond to take care of small housekeeping tasks for our kitties, and he captured photos of our babies having fun and playing despite their shy personalities. He was incredibly understanding and accommodating with communication while my husband and I were busy trying to plan our trip, and Jeremy is clearly a natural with animals and a kind, patient soul! We would hire him again in a heartbeat.

Kassy has been helping taking care of our animals for years. She has bathed and walked my pitbull. Her help with our foster animals has been invaluable. She has also watched our two cats. We will definitely be booking her through Rover!

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!

Kayla is very easy to work with. She is very patient and plays with our young puppy when she comes over. She sends a cute picture every time, and is helping us teach basic commands to our rescue dog. I would definitely recommend booking Kayla to watch your animals.

Katie is THE BEST with my senior kitty! I always feel comfortable leaving my cat with her when I’m gone. She’s very responsible and gives my cat lots of attention and makes sure she’s well taken care of. She’s my go-to when I need a pet sitter.

Molly did an amazing job looking after my 2 cats. She went above and beyond dealing with my difficult diabetic kitty. I can't thank her enough for all the tricks and tactics she did to get my cat a shot when he was being resistant.

Great drop-in sitter. Our two dogs were well cared for and we got several pictures every day. It's a relief to feel like you don't have to worry about your pets back at home while you're on a trip.
