1. Kalyn & Jorge S.
“Thank You Kalyn❣️ Both cats are looking well fed and cared for and happy to see our return. Thank you for the play, petting and brushing. Especially, 15 yr old Farley, he expressed his normal behavior minus any repeated aggression from young George, who pounces from behind. This proves you kept George exercising. ❣️❣️ So, I shared with you a notice that George had headed next door to hang out in neighbor’s garage for attention We discussed increasing food. Well, he has a weight belly now. Evidently, my theory that cats just don’t over eat by nature is untrue. George came inside last night sometime after midnight, upped next to my sleeping hand where he placed his purring belly until late morning wake up. I am a very satisfied customer, friend, Kalyn. You collected our mail. Collected newspapers, watered porch and house plants And wore down an active cat-kitten. Respectfully, Shari”

“Lora was very responsive and communicative from the beginning. The cats took to her right away, and were not hiding, which is always a great sign. She sent photo updates and was punctual and accommodative. Would have her cat sit again in the future!”
3. Christine C.
“Christine was awesome! Last week was the first time she worked for us as our cat sitter. Our cat is old, on twice-a-day medication, and also just came out of surgery a few days before and was wearing a onesie which prevents him from licking the suture. I only had time to leave Christine written instructions on post surgery care, which requires checking on the suture twice a day, and grooming without messing the surgery area. Christine took on this rather complicated challenge without complaint. During my trip, I received her timely and detailed visit summary. She also went above and beyond - our cat peed on the onesie one day and Christine spent extra time to wash and dry the onesie before putting it back on. She also made sure that our cat was not licking the suture while the onesie was getting dried. She is patient, caring, and considerate. We came back home yesterday and our cat is healthy, happy, and recovering well. Thank you Christine!”
4. Mingyue C.
“I've known Mingyue for five years and I know she is a dog lover (actually, also a cat lover ;p). When she was in graduate school, she started to take care of dogs for her roommates during the spring break or when owners need to travel and do onsite interviews so that they have to leave their pets temporarily. I think she is reliable, trustworthy, and patient. It is apparent from the moment you see her interact with those little guys that it is not just a task to her, it is her love. I think those experiences help her to accumulate her knowledge on how to deal with dogs.”
5. allison d.
“Knowing that Allison was checking in on our pets and giving them some loving attention was very reassuring! I appreciated the updates and photos!”
6. Sheila O.
“I returned to a very happy and relaxed dog - thank you for taking such good care of Sadie.”
7. Teresa L.
“Teresa is certainly the cat wisperer and quite the photographer :) I could not believe when she sent me photos of my super shy cat getting belly rubs after only her first visit meeting her. I am so happy to have finally found a wonderful sitter.”
8. Elise B.
“Our timid-around-new-people dog Ralph really took to Elise almost immediately - he was sitting by her almost instantly. She was very responsible and kind, had a clear list of questions she asked, and has a ton of experience with animals. We feel really confident about leaving our elderly (very hard of hearing) dog with her. Thank you Elise!”

About: I have taken care of all kinds of animals over the years, wanted to be a veterinarian until I realized that as part of this it would mean putting them down, just could not fathom that… So just focused on taking the best care of them I could and learning all I could about them. Worked in pet stores, a zoo and have had just about any kind of housepet you could image: 20 or so dogs, cats, birds, fish, reptiles, ferrets, mice, rats and the like. Have a week Dec 25 – Jan 2 where we have nothing scheduled, no work, no travel so thought I would reach out and see if I could help you take care of your pets while you are away or otherwise busy. Ideally I’d like to find one dog that needs a LOT of exercise and be able to take them for at least one LONG walk a day (I walk 8-10 miles daily) and others that just need someone to come feed, let them out and play with them. Am in my 50’s, with a wife and 3 adult kids (1 on Rover) and work from home so my schedule is very flexible I work from home so my schedule is very flexible, we lost one of our dogs recently and the other is 15 and likes to sleep all day, Up until recently I would take my daughters Shepard mix for long walks but she moved further away so that sadly is no longer possible =( I will treat your home and pet as my own, my wife was up until recently a Real Estate broker and I was a part time agent, we have a ton of property management experience and know how to interact with people, their pets and all kinds of situations

“Thanks Ryan!”
11. Lourdes R.
About: Ive had every animal under the sun growing up in a home that were animal lovers. There were dogs in my family before I was born and I have never not had two dogs or more in my life. My friends always know if they need a sitter and I’m not traveling they can rely on me. Anyone I ever dated I always stated they Must Love Dogs. Ive been lucky that to find my person who is that as well. Im working from home so can give them constant attention, regular walks in between meetings, playtime with our pups and an endless toy chest full of all kinds of great bark box toys since we have 3 subscriptions I have a large secluded complex with lots of running room and two dogs who are dogs best friend as well as man’s. We treat your dogs like our fur babies and we treat them like kids :)
12. Jonathan S.
“Perfect! Communication is superb, his professionalism is top notch, and he is so loving to our fur babies... Jonathan is the best, so attentive and kind. We are so greatful for him accommodating us into his busy schedule. The dogs love him and I was able to fully relax while on vacation. Thank you so much!”

“Great communication. Thanks so much Jennifer.”
14. Katie L.
“Katie was great with our dog! She’s very reliable and we didn’t worry at all leaving our Hazel in her care! Loved getting pictures . We will definitely ask her again.”
15. Pam S.
“Pam was very professional and takes her job seriously. I felt my pup was well cared for. Pam came prepared with games, treats and a true love of dogs. Highly recommend he!”
16. Sydney N.
“Sydney was great. Was super flexible despite a change in time. It was clear she cared for our cat Huchu deeply. She provided many photos and daily updates. Even went above and beyond asking to help take out trash! Would recommend her highly. And she will be our first choice again.”
17. Nora F.
“We just got on Rover and Nora was our first sitter! She came for a meet & greet prior to the booking and sent us updates while with Champ! Highly recommend her!”
18. Brittany M.
“Brittany was AMAZING. So thoughtful, reliable, communicative, and helpful. She really took the time to build comfort and rapport with my pup and my roommates who she interacted with while I was away. I can’t thank Brittany enough for setting my mind at ease as I was out of the country. My pup needs a life saving medication daily and Brittany kept me informed on how he was doing and if he was showing any signs of distress. Thank you so much for your support Brittany!”
19. Morgan F.
“Morgan was wonderful! I have a very shy kitty and she was so patient and kind with her. She wrote awesome updates and provided adorable pictures. I felt so much more comfortable leaving my baby knowing Morgan was checking in! 100% would book her again!”
20. Shahnaz J.
“Shahnaz is a caring mother to her own dog as well as a the dogs she minds. She is very attuned to their needs and always wants them to live their best lives making nutritional homemade meals and giving them beautiful haircuts and taking them on long walks. She has a huge heart and donates to dog shelters for those dogs in need.”
