Darius was wonderfuł! Our dog is an 11 year old German Shepherd with medical problems and he requires medication. We had never left him with a pet sitter before and I was very nervous. Darius came over a few days before we left to meet Rex and all went well; I was pleasantly surprised at how well Rex responded to Darius. Darius was very gentle and patient and sweet with him. While we were gone I knew that Rex was being well-cared from the many pictures Darius sent after each visit. Rex looked not only relaxed but actually happy! I was soooo relieved. I would HIGHLY recommend Darius and will definitely request him again if we have to leave Rex with a sitter in the future. I would give more than 5 stars if I could!

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.

Julissa was wonderful and left us stress free on our trip! It was so relieving to come back to happy cats and an even cleaner home than we left it. We never had to worry about our fur babies leaving them in her care. 1000% recommend Julissa if you’re looking for a reliable, caring, and kind sitter!

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!

About: I’m a pure animal lover! I love dogs and cats of all sizes. I currently have one 3 year old pug and foster another pug. I understand the amount of time and attention it requires to take care of our babies which is why you can trust me with yours! Whether it’s a senior animal that requires medication or a young puppy that requires an extra amount of time, I am your girl! I look forward to the opportunity. I work from home 4 days out of week so you can trust I am available for potty breaks and attention for your fur baby. I have a fully fenced yard and easy access to a dog park across the street so they will get plenty of potty breaks with me.

Raquel does a great job with the drop in visits for our two pups. She sends great pics of them enjoying some outside time and scratches. She's also been flexible when we've had to reschedule and responsive to anything that you need to communicate. We've been using her visits once a week! Thanks for helping curb our pups boredom behaviors! ?

Gari, where have you been lo these many years? We needed your dependability, efficiency, groundedness and genuine caring for our pets a long time ago! But you came along at just the right moment and set our minds at ease while we were away for almost 2 weeks. Gari collected mail and sent daily personal texts and updates through Rover. They won over our shy indoor cats with gentle attentiveness and vibed with our outdoor cats to gain their trust. We hope Gari will be available for our next extended vacation. We think they and our kitties will take up right where they left off. Thank you again, Gari!
