7. Alyssa C.

“Alyssa was great! She was really quick to respond and did a great job with our cats. She did everything I asked her to and even got our scared cats to come out and see her for a bit! She’s super nice! I will definitely use her again and definitely recommend her!”


8. Rebecca & Justin K.


“Our regular sitter was unable to watch our kitties the entire time we were away. I have used Rover before so I went on the app for a sitter to cover the weekend. Rebecca & Justin’s photo caught my eye. When I read their bio description I knew they were the ones for our kitties. My husband and I met them and I knew we made the right decision. The checkins with the photos and specific going ons with our kitties was reassuring. We knew they were in good hands. We will def call on them again in the future for our kitties. Wishing all the best to them in the meantime!😉”


9. Veronica A.

“Ronnie isamazing, and it's clear my sun conure Lou is happy and in great hands while I'm on vacation! I couldn't ask for better care and peace of mind! Thanks again”


10. Dan G.

“I always say dogs know when they meet a good person and Dan is just that! Our dog Shade instantly went to Dan and definitely enjoys her time with him. He's attentive and plays great with all her puppy energy. He provides pictures and detailed notes of each of his visits which we really appreciate. It is so nice to know she is taken care while we are at work. We appreciate his punctuality for visits and prompt communication. We highly recommend Dan and we look forward to his continued help with Shade.”


11. Caroline P.

“Thank you Caroline for taking care of our bunnies! Caroline was communicative and great with the bunnies while we were gone for a long weekend.”


12. Marie A.

“Marie did a very nice job taking care of my cat Abi. She provided me with daily updates and pictures. Knowing that Abi was in good hands while I was away gave me great peace of mind.”


13. Jess S.

“Jess was wonderful with our cat. She made sure our girl had enough food and fresh water, cleaned the litter box, and made sure she was ok (even though our cat is skittish and hid). She was super nice and kept us updated via text. We will definitely hire her again when we go out of town.”


14. Paige B.

“Paige is our go to! Our pup loves hanging out with her and she’s always trustworthy. She is so reliable especially with last minute drop ins!”


15. Nicole F.

“Nikki was super helpful and responsive. She did a meet and greet with us and our pup before the stop in visit. Unfortunately, our dog is very nervous and did not cooperate with Nikki - but she did everything possible to make it work. Not a reflection on her whatsoever. She even offered to try again and perhaps do a few "walk" visits before an upcoming weekend away. I would recommend Nikki highly.”


16. Dominic T.

“Dominic came right at the scheduled times and took lots of pictures of taking good care of our handsome prince! It was a great peace of mind to know that our pup had reliable care!”


17. Karen C.


“Karen and her husband are amazing! I felt so comfortable leaving my cat knowing she wasn't alone for too long and was being played with and fed. She sent me tons of photos and let me know when she was coming and going and was super reassuring and kind. Would definitely recommend!!”


18. Cassidy H.

“Charlie continues to love his visits with Cassidy, this was the 3rd time that we booked with her and it was no different. The communication is great and the going above and beyond every time and just knowing that Charlie is in good hands is very assuring.”


19. Wei C.
“Karen is a great pet owner, she’s had two pets, one dog that’s currently very old and a more recent kitten that they’ve started to care for. She is really wonderful, always making sure that they are properly cared for, buying toys that better suit their needs, ensuring that they have been given their medicine and food on time, playing with and petting them. She really loves them and makes sure that they know that. She would be a wonderful caregiver to any pet.”




20. Natalie A.
“Natalie is my daughter and I couldn’t be more proud of her. But obviously anyone reading this might think that I am slightly biased and I am. Who wouldn’t be about their daughter. But sticking with the facts Natalie has been very very passionate about animals and kindness to animals for as long as I can remember. She’s been very active with PETA giving money even at times when she couldn’t really afford it. She is responsible, kind,and loving. Just the kind of person you’d probably like caring for your pet.”
