“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Annie B. did an exceptional job caring for my cats, Emperor and Empress. From the very beginning, she was attentive, reliable, and clearly committed to their well-being. What stood out the most was her flexibility and professionalism—she adjusted her schedule to accommodate additional days without hesitation and honored every commitment she made. That level of dependability is rare and truly appreciated. It gave me peace of mind knowing my cats were in good hands, and it’s clear she treated them with care and respect. I highly recommend Annie to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and dedicated. She absolutely deserves five stars.”

“Natalie was kind, compassionate, and reliable as a pet sitter. She cared for our senior cat for 12 days and took great care of him. We got updates at every visit and she took care of special requests. It was easy to communicate with Natalie, and we would trust her to care for our family pets again in the future! Thank you so much Natalie. ♥️”


“Justin is fantastic, took really good care of my cat while I was away. She warmed up to him quickly and it was so great to know she was getting some love and attention each day.”


“Highly highly recommend! I hired Minhhan to do some drop-in visits while I was out of town for a few days, specifically because she listed in her bio experience with administering shots and medication. My cat is diabetic and needs insulin injections every morning and evening, and she was able to take care of that no problem. The meet and greet went really well and made me feel a lot better about having a stranger in my home; Minhhan was comfortable around my pet and I wasn't worried. She sent me photo updates, and was very helpful with the whole process as it was my first time using Rover. 10/10!!”


“Alanna was wonderful! She spent time to actually interact with my cat instead of just filling his food bowl and leaving. She also noticed a hazard on one of his toys that had been broken and made sure it was kept out of his reach so that he wouldn't hurt himself. She was also good about updating me on his behavior as well as notifying me of packages arriving at our home. I am so grateful I found Alanna to watch my cat! Knowing she was watching him definitely made my trip away from home more worry free!”
“Samantha was a joy to work with. She was so kind and took such great care with Boo. We are so sad that she is moving out of the area and wish her the best of luck in all her endeavors! Thank you, Sam!”

“Natalie was great! She was friendly and came to meet my two cats in advance. She made sure they had their food, scooped the litter boxes, and gave one cat the medicine he needed. She stayed and played with them a bit and cleaned up an accident they had on one of our carpets. Natalie was always on time and sent videos and thorough updates. Will definitely book her again for our next trip.”

“Lance did a great job with out dog Poet! She can get a bit anxious when we are not around but he did wonderful with keeping her calm and happy. He also does great at updating us throughout the time he watched her. We highly recommend him!”
“Amanda was amazing! I felt so relieved knowing that Max was in great hands with her, she was also very knowledgeable about the French Bulldog breed which helped me feel so comfortable in her care. Aside from her care, her vibe is immaculate! Would absolutely book again!”

“Tea was absolutely amazing as our dog walker and caretaker for Diego while we were away in LA for the weekend. From the very beginning, she stood out for her responsiveness and genuine care. She took the extra step to meet us and Diego beforehand, which really put us at ease. Throughout the weekend, she kept us updated with photos and messages, and it was clear Diego was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. We could tell she treated him like her own, and that level of attention and thoughtfulness means so much to us. It’s rare to find someone so reliable, communicative, and compassionate. We’d trust Tea with Diego any time and can’t recommend her highly enough!”

“Very kind and communicative! Stayed with our pups in a hotel while we went to a family wedding. Felt very confident leaving our semi anxious dogs in her care. Highly recommend!”

Delaney has been our go to pet sitter for a while now. She is always very responsive in all messaging and takes great photos and notes with updates on how our kitties are doing while she is there. Definitely puts my family at ease knowing that they are so well cared for when we are away.
I had such a great experience with Annie while I was away on vacation. She took such amazing care of Ripley and paid close attention to every little detail, making sure she was comfortable, happy, and well cared for the entire time. You can truly tell how much she genuinely cares for animals through the love and attention she gives them. I felt completely at ease knowing my dog was in such good hands, and I’m so thankful for all the playtime, care, and updates she provided. Highly recommend! Will book again!
It's clear the amount of care and undertanding Jandy has of animals with the way she interracted with my cat. Not only does she spend significant time getting to know them and ensuring the human that their fur baby is in good hands, she also built my cat a blanket fort for enrichment while I was gone. It was very sweet and I know my cat was in good hands.

Natalie did such a great job. She went above and beyond to record and document her visits so well. I was quite impressed at her professionalism and quality of care,communication and attention to detail. 10/10 would recommend her services. Thank you Natalie and I look forward to more coverage in the future.
