“Pearl was amazing with the kitties. She went above and beyond to make sure they were happy. Took many pictures and communicated daily. She even watered the plants ! Thank you so much! Ollie and Robbie have a new friend!”
“Regina was such a thoughtful, caring, and attentive sitter for our two cats. She sent pictures and video clips every day, and let us video call them when she could sense they missed us. She was considerate and kind, and I loved that she created a genuine connection with our babies, so much so that she will miss them. I highly recommend working with Regina. Thank you for making our week-long vacation worry-free!”

“I have to say, this is my first experience with Rover. I was leary at first leaving my Cat with anyone, but Robin made me feel so comfortable. Robin answers quickly and provides pics and updates all along. When I contacted Robin, she came over for a meet and greet and Callie was paying no mind to her. It was nice to see in the pic that Callie allowed her to get close. Callie is very shy and doesn't like to come out of hiding. Seeing pics of Callie checking out the premises gave me such a sigh of relief. I definitely recommend Robin for your fur babies.”
“Ariel was wonderful! We are really happy with the way that she took care of our pets like they were her own. We love her joyful nature and sense of humor. She also was very responsible and dedicated to her job and went above and beyond even our high standards. To come back home and see your animals having been well cared for and as happy as if you’d never left provides such peace of mind. My sister and I could not be happier with work, so we highly recommend her services.”

“Chuck was very communicative and sent lots of videos to show how my cat was doing, her food and water supply, and to also just show how apartment was while we were gone. He was very accommodating to all our requests and cleaned up after my cat’s accidents. Would book with Chuck again!”
“Shanna did an amazing job caring for my cats while I was away on a much-needed vacation. From our initial meeting, my cats took to her right away, which was such a relief! She was very responsive and shared thoughtful, detailed updates in each Rover card. I genuinely looked forward to reading them after every visit. It was clear she cared for Skylar & Jackson as if they were her own. I was able to feel at ease during my trip because I knew they were in good hands. Highly recommend!”
About: I love looking after pets and getting to know each of their unique personalities. I think animals make the world a better place by being here. They teach us about patience, love, loss, and growth. The great thing about all pets is they're all different in their own way and they all offer love. I have two cats at home, who are pretty low maintenance, they need plenty of love and play time. I dedicate every day more than an hour to each cat to make sure they feel loved and entertained. It obviously entertains me as well! Patience and looking for warning signs are very important. Taking time to communicate to the pet owners of any concerns is also a priority if that is the case. I think a good line of communication is super helpful. Getting to know the pets is helpful too.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs whether its my own or family and friends,i love dogs very much and i am responsible with them,i have one of my own and i love her dearly. I know all the responsibilities and necessities of caring for them and being patient.

Arianna did a phenomenal job while providing drop-in visits with my fur babies. She was quite attentive to their needs and showered them with lots of affection. One of my babies craved excessive affection and Arianna was patient enough to provide extra petting. In addition, she pays attention to details. and understood when one of my babies wasn't in the mood to be friendly. But because she didn't neglect him, but instead found ways to work with him, he eventually came around on her side. Arianna is a wonderful cat sitter. hence the reason why I gave her 5 stars. Therefore. without any hesitation, I highly recommend her as she proves that she loves what she does. Thank you Arianna. I appreciate you.
I can’t thank Avalyn enough for the incredible care she provided to my beloved cat, Thomasina. Thomasina is very shy and not quick to trust, and for the first 7 days of my trip, she hid in the closet—nervous, withdrawn, and clearly missing her routine. But Avalyn never once rushed her. She made sure Thomasina had food, fresh water, and a clean litter box nearby, gently checking in on her while giving her the space she needed. Avalyn’s calm, compassionate attitude and genuine love for animals make her a standout cat sitter.
I recently had the pleasure of hiring Regina K. as a pet sitter for my cat, Layla, while I was on vacation, and I couldn’t be happier with the care she provided. Regina followed all of the instructions I left for her perfectly and took great care of Layla during each home visit. She was very nice and pleasant to communicate with, which made me feel at ease while I was away. Regina made sure Layla had her treats, wet food, and fresh water, cleaned the litter box thoroughly, and even spent time playing with her—something that meant a lot to me. It was clear that she genuinely cared about Layla’s well-being and comfort. I really appreciate Regina’s help and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, kind, and attentive pet sitter. Thank you, Regina!
