Hillcrest cat parents share their Rover experiences
Alyssa did an amazing job taking care of my two kitties! She was incredibly sweet, friendly, and easy to communicate with the entire time which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter
I booked Aleksandra for two drop ins. Arranging key drop off was easy. She followed directions well and made sure my auto cat feeders and fountain were working. She also gave my clingy elderly cat a cuddle! She even got an action shot of my skittish young cat, I didn’t expect her to even see him lol. Would book again.
Adrianna was great to work with! She was prompt with her check ins, and kept us informed throughout the way. It gave us peace and comfort knowing Mochi had someone to come in and check on and play with her. I would definitely recommend booking Adrianna as your petsitter 🙂
This is the second time Brooke has looked after our babies and done such an amazing job! I can truly relax when I'm out of town knowing that she is watching after them. She sends tons of amazing pictures and gives the best updates, she just goes above and beyond!
Ivy was amazing with Sophie again. We got updates throughout or vacation and it made me feel happy and relieved that Sophie was in great hands. Sophie and Ivy’s connection is genuine and you can tell Ivy is an animal, and in our case a cat, person. Would recommend to anyone with a kitty.
