5. Jennifer S.
“Jennifer is the best!!!! My cats were treated so well that I didn't see any difference in their behavior after our extended departure. They were relaxed when we arrived and I could see right away that they really liked the care Jennifer gave them. Jennifer was very helpful and available. She helped us out when our trip out of the country was extended by 2 weeks. I had peace of mind knowing my cats were in good hands. Everything was clean when I arrived and my cats had missed us, but I could see that they were relaxed and well fed. seraphin, my most shy cat, was super comfortable with her, and that's a great proof of the quality of the bond Jennifer knows how to build with animals. Thank you :-)”

Jon is a bright, warm, and caring young man who consistently displays the qualities necessary for being an excellent pet caregiver. He has two dogs of his own and is completely involved in their care from exercising them to fulfilling their health care needs. Jon would be the perfect person to fulfill the responsibilities of a pet care service provider.”

9. Madison F.
“Madison is a fantastic sitter! These are the things that stood out to me: - Madison was very punctual. We asked her for daily visits for our young cat Chidi and she was there at the same time every day. - The photos that Madison posted were amazing and I will cherish them forever. She also sent videos. - The Rover cards were detailed and I looked forward to them every day - I can tell Chidi loved her! We adopted him during the pandemic so he only knows us and a couple other people and I was worried he wouldn’t want to interact but he looked to be happy in the photos and videos. Will definitely book Madison again if she’s available.”
