3. Ri C.
“I can’t say enough good things about Ri! My cats are very shy with new people, but Ri was able to win them over almost immediately. Ri took excellent care of them (as well as my plants) and sent the best pictures/updates after each visit. I’ve never felt better about leaving them with anyone and I have already rebooked for my next trip.”

6. Melissa B.
“This was my first time using Rover, and Melissa. Rover was good. Melissa was excellent. She did everything asked of her, cleaned up after feeding the dog and cat, and gave extremely thorough documentation of the visit - a detailed write-up plus 26 photos -- all for a 1-hour drop-in.”

9. Alaina R.
“Alaina took care of my Jack Russell mix, Sprinkles, for a week while I was away. Sprinkles is a special needs dog, as she has IVDD and has dealt with paralysis in her hind legs in the past. Alaina took my concerns about Sprinkles' needs very seriously, and Sprinkles was as happy and healthy as ever upon my return. I would trust Alaina to take care of Sprinkles anytime!”

14. Tsaitami D.
“Tsaitami went above and beyond to make our grumpy ol’ lady feel comfortable and safe while we were on vacation, even administering our cat’s daily medicine despite how difficult she can be! Normally our cat gets anxious when we are away for long periods and will over groom her back, but when we came home she seemed much better than after other trips and showed no evidence of over grooming. We are super grateful for Tsaitami’s hard work and detailed daily updates!”

19. Kitty S.
“Kitty is such a wonderful sitter. Her dependability and caring nature are so reassuring when I need to be away from my four-legged family members. Thank you, Kitty!”
20. Lucy W.
About: I've taken care and loved taking care of dogs and cats of all ages since I was 9 or 10 years old. I love making bonds with all animals. Having a cuddly furry friend and seeing them happy and healthy makes my day 10 times better I tend to have free availability a lot nowadays so I'm open to pet care all days and everyday. It's what I love to do. I have a cat that is 13+ years old and she is my own from college and suffers from dementia. She's my best friend and I love her so much
