“Julissa is such an angel. We realized the day before our trip that we hadn’t booked a pet sitter, and she was able to help us out last minute no problem. She is so communicative and responsible, and has taken amazing care of our cats! This was our second time booking her through Rover and we plan to be reaching back out again. 10/10 recommend!”
“Christina was amazing with our babies. Two of our kitties are very shy, but they came to visit her right off the bat. She was very communicative and respectful and even went above and beyond with some light chores. We will definitely book Christina again.”
“Katherine came to my house on time every day. Although our pet Misty went into hiding, she kept us updated at every visit and even told us to let her know if we need anything else. It was a pleasure having her take care of Misty.”
“Anastasia did a great job dropping in to check on my cat Bojangles while I was out of town. Good with communication and sent photos. Would book her to watch him again!”
“Jose was very professional and took great care of my elderly cat while I had to leave town for a few days. He always was prompt with visits, and sent pics of the visit. He spent some time with her each day. I'd happily have him come and take care of my cat again!”
“Jay did an amazing job with drop-in visits for our very shy cat. He immediately runs from almost everyone, but he not only came out of hiding for Jay, he allowed himself to be petted and held! She also was kind enough to do a home visit ahead of time. I felt very glad knowing he was in her safe and kind hands during our trip. Thanks, Jay!”
“Bailee was wonderful! She dropped in every other day to check on my cat Remi. She sent pictures and notes every day. Bailee even watered my outside plants for me. Bailee is dependable and punctual and Remi was comfortable with her. Highly recommended!”

“Ynes was fantastic! She completed three drop-ins per day over three days and was consistently on time for every visit. She handled my senior dog, Dutchess, with great care and attention, which gave me real peace of mind. What I appreciated most was her communication… she sent multiple pictures daily and kept me updated every step of the way, making me feel completely comfortable while I was away. It’s clear she genuinely cares about the pets she looks after. I would absolutely use Ynes’s services again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!”

Jacquelyn was timely and professional throughout. At the beginning there were some issues getting into my unit and she was very patient and did all that was needed to work through the issue. She would send thoughtful updates about my cats daily, which I appreciated. I would recommend Jackie any time and will absolutely work with her again!
Dara is an incredibly loving, kind, and wonderful person! She treats cats with the utmost care, showing amazing attention to detail and responding perfectly to their needs. She is truly a dedicated professional with a warm heart. I cannot recommend her highly enough to anyone looking for the best care for their fur babies!
Ashley is the absolutely best! She takes such great care of our 2 cats and senior dog while we are on vacation! She helps with the litter, feedings, and administering morning meds for our dog. We now pretty much exclusively reach out to Ashley any time we have an upcoming trip! Our pets LOVE her. Thank you for everything, Ashley!
It’s such a relief to have a pet sitter we fully trust! Beth has taken care of our two cats for our honeymoon and several other trips, and she provided such a peace of mind with how she treats our girls! Beth is extremely detailed and kind; we’re so thankful for her!!
Jose was very professional and took great care of my elderly cat while I had to leave town for a few days. He always was prompt with visits, and sent pics of the visit. He spent some time with her each day. I'd happily have him come and take care of my cat again!
