The only bad part about highly recommending Ana is that her schedule might get too full 😂 now for real, Ana is a saint. My dog is very picky and an old man and somehow she just gets him. She's incredibly reliable and quick to respond. I had a two week trip planned and Ana continuously gave updates and pictures, moreso than my own sister who was actually house sitting with him! She's so caring and loving, your pup will be so happy with Ana as a new friend

Tina was very lovely!! She’s was so attentive to our cats and our space! She caught the beginnings of an ant problem and remedied it! She noticed our shyer cat was losing her food and allocated her more space to eat. She, also, was able to give our diabetic cat her insulin injection. Tina was the best!! Couldn’t recommend her more 🧡

Our pups loved Phillip the moment they met him. He stopped by and did a meet and greet, which was very comforting. One could tell he also enjoys being around dogs. He kept us updated daily and even collected our mail and packages. We left him a letter regarding caring for the pups and he followed every step. On the last day he spent a few minutes with us and the dogs and you could tell they were happy to see him. Will definitely use him again.

Latisha is awesome! First time using Rover and I found the best catsitter! She was timely, communicated well, brought my packages in while I was gone, made sure my 2 cats were fed, had water and she gave them lots of treats and spent time brushing and playing with them. She went above and beyond. She is a delight and I will be hiring her again soon!

Kayla kept our little man company while we were out of town for a couple days. He is a senior dog with special needs, and she took care of him wonderfully! She also sent updates and lots of pics. He took to her right away - seemed very comfortable with her - and we came home to a happy little dog. We will definitely book with her again in the future.

Marcie did a fantastic job looking after our cats and went far above and beyond taking care of them when one of them got sick after we'd left the country. She took Huey to the vet twice, administered medication, isolated him as needed while keeping him company, while making sure Slinky was well looked after as well. The boys love her as do we, and we hope to work with her again soon!

Sarah did an amazing job with my 1.5 year old lab puppy while I was gone on a work trip. Sent thorough updates, pictures, videos, and strong comms on both days after every drop-in. She even practiced the commands my dog knows to keep her mind occupied on top of playing with her. Will def be re-booking Sarah in the future.
