1. Victoria F.
“Victoria was awesome checking in on our cat while we were away! She was consistent in her visit timing and provided great Rover cards. We know Tilly appreciated all of the attention :)”
2. Masie D.
“Masie was extremely helpful for the entire month I was gone. She accepted my booking with 2 days before my month long trip and kept me updated the entire time. In top of that, part way through the month, she accepted a change to the request to add additional days per week due to concerns. She was extremely helpful for peace of mind and the photos she sent every visit helped more than I would’ve thought!”
3. Suliel S.
“Suliel was lovely! She accepted all of our kitties weird quirks and habits with grace and took excellent care of her while we were away. Will definitely be requesting her again!”
4. Jaden M.
“Jaden was meticulous, diligent, and offered my cats so much patience and affection. I was very impressed with their understanding of Jack and Poppy’s nuances, and the way they offered my kitties both space, respect, or affection on their terms. Thank you so much Jade for taking such good care of Poppy and Jack.”
5. Jacqueline A.
“Jacqueline was great, very thorough, super kind, and easy to work with. She provided an update with every visit and was very understanding of my somewhat reclusive kitty. More than happy to vouch for her!”
6. Aidan C.
“So happy with how Aiden cared for my cat! He is normally so shy but I can tell he loved being around her. Aiden will definitely be my go to for animal sitting! Thank you Aiden!!”
7. Krista D.
“Krista came over to meet HiShawn before our trip. It took a minute but he did warm up to her. When she started to leave he started whining. He’s never done that before. Krista and HiShawn got along splendidly! Thank you, Keista”
8. Savannah S.
“What a great sitter! Savannah is smart and compassionate. She spent a good amount of time at our house with each visit for our three cats. I never worried once. Plus, she provided extra care which was a little bit needed. When we got home, everything was clean and cats were happy. Like we were never gone. I recommend her highly.”
9. Ashley B.
“Ashley is trustworthy and conscientious while also giving my kitties pets and brushes. I can have confidence that they are being well taken care of and that gives me peace of mind when I’m away.”
10. Amanda K.
“Amanda is great. Usually when we leave our cat for vacations she is pretty weird when we come back but this time she was pretty okay. Amanda fed her exactly like we discussed (which we know because of the lack of cat barf). Also Amanda’s pictures were fantastic.”
11. Courtney & Dawson B.
“I can't thank her enough. She is the best. This is the 1st time using this app and leaving my kitties alone. She made this so easy and calmed my nerves. I would definitely recommend her. I can't say enough about her love and care for my fur babies. Thank you so much.”
12. Ash H.
“Ash was incredible with our tuxedo kitten! We decided a bit late in the game to have a sitter drop in our home rather than take him on vacation with us. During the initial communication and meet n greet with Ash my mind was put at ease that Ash could take care of our cat and that she enjoyed being around him. During Ash’s time with our cat, she provided many photos and cute little updates! Ash was very communicative during her time with our cat and I felt like Ash went the extra mile each and every visit - even warning us when she saw something out of the norm for our cat. We came back to a happy and healthy cat after the longest time we’ve been away from him. We’ll definitely be booking again with Ash in the future.”
13. Marissa G.
“Marissa Greer has been a (nearly) lifelong friend of mine. She is very trustworthy, nurturing, and honest while emanating kindness. I would trust her with my own dogs.”
14. Katharine B.
“I highly recommend Katharine! I was away for an extended time over the holidays and I can tell my cat was well cared for while I was away. She updated me with details every day and made sure my cat got her needed daily medication. I will be re-booking for future needs. Thank you!”
15. Kailey W.
“Kailey was amazing to work with! She was thorough and accommodating for our specific requests for each cat. She gave daily detailed updates and sent photos. Her communication was exceptional and gave us peace of mind. Her service was above and beyond any expectations we had. 100% recommend Kailey!”
16. Breeana "August" H.
“Second time booking August and it went so well! Our kitties are comfortable and happy to see her. Very timely, great communication, and so sweet. Highly recommend!”
17. Jiaru H.
“Sharon is a fantastic pet caregiver. She is on top of the pets needs, including when to feed it, when and how to clean it, and when to give it medicine. Sharon knows a lot about cats and dogs, having explained many tips on how to best care for them to me.”
18. Isabel W.
“Absolutely phenomenal - genuinely cared after my doggo and provided consistent updates the entire time. Can't recommend Isabel enough!”
19. Amber A.
“Dependable and always takes great care of all my critters!”
20. Ashley R.
