3. Xan N.
“Xan was amazing !!! My cat is extremely shy with new people but warmed up to her so quickly. That’s always a good sign. She updated me on everything and sent multiple pictures. I felt very relaxed leaving my cat in her care. If I need to rebook, I will definitely rebook with her!!”
4. Kkay H.
“Absolutely amazing!!! My fiance's special needs boxer does not like anyone and he went straight up to her and wanted lovins. If you're hesitating don't. She gave us daily updates along with photos from each visit. She went above and beyond. We will definitely be hiring her again.”
5. Hannah G.
“Hannah did great. I agreed to watch my friends cat while he was away. I ended up with a knee injury and found myself unable to get to his second story apartment. Hannah stepped in for me and was very reliable. As an added bonus the cat, Ducky, was far more social with her than I anticipated. I'm glad I hired someone Ducky was happy to see.”
6. Kyle E.
“Kyle was wonderful with our two dogs! He was very professional and great at communicating. We knew the dogs were in good hands with him while we were gone! Thank you Kyle!”
7. Taylor B.
“Taylor has been great for drop in visits with our puppy! Attends to all of her needs, takes her for a walk, keeps us updated at needed, and makes sure we have a happy pup. Will definitely use Taylor again in the future and refer her to others!”
8. Tash B.
“Tash was wonderful with my cat, Patsy. Patsy has some ‘special needs’ such as going out on a leash and has separation anxiety, and Tash handled her so well. She provided plenty of pictures, got Patsy playing with her toys and did everything I had asked of her. I will definitely book her again if I ever go out of town. 5 star sitter for sure!”
9. Danielle R.
“Absolutely heaven sent! Had an emergency come up, texted the night before we had to leave, & she was available for us and the sweetest to my dogs! Went above and beyond to make sure they were taken care of while we were gone, & even sent us pics! Thank you so much! Definitely recommend her for all your pet needs!”
10. Michelle P.
“Michelle was great with our dogs! We will likely rebook with her! One of our dogs can be more reactive, but she did great with her!”
11. Heidi F.
“Heidi has been so helpful and loving to our sweet older dog, Piper. When we are away from home, Heidi always gives her lots of pets, treats, and is so patient with Piper on their walks around the neighborhood.... even when she insists on smelling everything and barking at everyone since her eyesight is declining.”
12. Kora D.
About: I have been fortunate enough to grow up surrounded by animals. The dog I have now I trained myself as a puppy and she is very well behaved! I am constantly taking care of animals in my daily life. I am on the Tech Ranch Horse team and have the responsibility of taking care of my horse, along with taking care of my dog and checking up on my roommates pets! I will make sure all pets are fed, watered, and taken out to use the bathroom while being respectful of the space I am in.
13. Bev M.
“Bev’s first visit Louie went very well! I look forward to booking more visits with her as Louie is a special behavioral needs pup. I am hopeful he will bond with Bev.”
14. Madison P.
“Madison is a very trustworthy and dependable person. When I go out of town she watches over my cat and sends me pictures of him throughout the day. She’s very nice and a great communicator. She was the one who told me that my cat was having tummy issues because he was not looking like himself.”
15. Emily P.
“Emily was excellent! We could not have asked for a better dogsitter - she met with us to go over everything before we went out of town, was extremely responsive, and sent us tons of updates throughout the week. She treated both our dog and cat like they were her own. This was our first time using Rover, and I was hesitant at first to have someone from the internet watch our pets, but Emily provided the best service and completely eliminated that feeling! The best part was getting to travel with peace of mind knowing our pets were in good hands. I highly recommend Emily!”
16. Donya M.
“Great job!”
17. Daphni T.
“Great attention to detail and amazing pictures! One of my cats was very clearly alarmed by how she managed to find him behind the couch.”
18. Sindy V.
“Sindy took a good care of our German Shepherd dog while we were out for 3 day. She walked her, played with her and feed her. In additions she took care of our 2 cats who also required food and toilet cleanup. We're happy and recommend Sindy, she's responsible.”
19. Mckinzee O.
“McKenzee is great with my puppy. She has been on time every day. And if anything pops up she let me know. Great communication. I’ve had a great experience with her. I highly recommend her for any of your dog City needs.”
20. Savanah B.
“Savanah did great with my cats! Kept their area clean while I was away and was able to befriend them as they would normally stay hidden otherwise. Absolutely would recommend to other cat owners!”
