Ren is super responsive and responsible. Great at communication. Even when my cat didn't come out, Ren made sure he was looked after and safe. Will definitely use Ren again if/when I go out of town in the future!

Kellie was great! She was quick to respond, on time, and very understanding/patient with our rescued shelter pup and our older dog. She was sure to update with pictures and details for every visit. Our pets loved her. We hope to use her services in the future. :)

Jennifer was amazing with my dog. She is so sweet and gave him plenty of attention during her drop in visits. She was even kind enough to leave him a goody bag on her last visit. Will definitely be booking again.

I had a weird situation in which the person caring for my animals abandoned them. Michelle was amazing and accommodating, went to my home after maintenence unlocked my place, cleaned up the mess my stressed out old man kitty made in a tub because he was alone for 4 days. Took care of him and the other 3 at the last minute for a week so I didn't have to leave my job (loose my job) and fly home. I was the most stressed out I'd been in years! But seeing the pics she took of my babies eating fresh wet food and playing every day helped me so much. 10000% recommend her and appreciate her and Rover for being here!! This is great app. Being able to see them check in and out, they can post photos and communicate like texting. Really great and will use again instead of depending on family!!

About: I’ve taken care of many different animals over the years from fish to chickens and horses. I’ve worked with all sorts of dogs from Chihuahuas to Cane Corsos and I love them all. I have taken a job where the dog was very protective of their home and have made multiple visits before the sitting began to allow them to be comfortable around me. I’ve worked with elderly dogs that need to be given medication and I have experience giving animals shots as well if needed! I am happy to provide references as well if that would make you feel safer about trusting me with your furry loved ones! I am currently a first year student at NMSU in Las Cruces and my schedule for this semester is consistent throughout the week so I am able to make morning and evening check ins for your pets and make adjustments as needed! My usual routine when going to check on pets varys according to the owners but every visit I make it a point to play with all of the animals and take them on walks when needed and ensuring all of their needs are met!

Anna is a fantastic and reliable house sitter and pet drop in sitter. She is always on time and gives my pets their meds and potty breaks with play time. She took excellent care of my home and pets for a week, and does drop in visits for me as well. My pets all love her so much - even my extremely shy Siamese comes out to play when she comes over.

This was the second time Maria has watched our dogs, & I couldn’t be any happier with how well she took care of my 2 dogs. She arrived promptly, gave me updates especially important updates about my dogs, & most importantly, my dogs still remembered her & were so happy to see her. Definitely will book her again in the future. Thank you Maria!

This was our first time using a pet sitter and I was anxious. However, Ren did such a great job that I felt better after the first visit. He always kept us informed and sent great pics. Ren would be our first choice next time we need a sitterr for our cats.

Savannah took care of our 4 dogs while we were gone on vacation. She kept us informed and sent many pictures. Savannah displays a love for animals and our dogs really like her. Our scared yorkie even warmed up to her and that is a real accomplishment. We will definitely book her in the future.

My little kitty loved Kellie, which is a win! Kellie was great. She watched my cat for two weeks and made sure her water and food were filled. She also made sure the litter was cleaned every other day, which is more than what I usually do. She also watered my plants and took the trash out for me! My little fur baby definitely got some loving while I was away.
