Emily did an amazing job. She checked in multiple times everyday with updates and photos. After having a terrible experience with Rover a couple years ago, Emily has reassured me that this app can be trusted and utilized.

Emily was absolutely stellar. She was extremely easy to communicate with and my pets took to her so quickly! (my border collie, Murphy instantly and my super shy kitty Stevie came around much faster than she normally does 😊) Emily is very knowledgeable about animals and she kept me updated on their activity during the whole weekend. Beyond her excellence in the primary role of pet sitter she is a dream house guest. The house felt cleaner than when I left and it was like no one had even been here! I will try to book Emily for my next trip and I highly recommend Emily for anyone who prefers a house sitter over kenneling their fur babies.

Emily is absolutely wonderful!! She has done overnight stays in my home multiple times over the last year. During the year, I have acquired quite a few more pets then her first time sitting last summer. This visit Emily stayed in my home for two and a half weeks. She got thrown a few curve balls this visit and took them all in stride. First, my travel mates decided to leave a day early, I contacted her and on very short notice she was able to come a day early. Then right before I left, I found 2 abandoned kittens, I knew I wasn't going to be able to get them in anywhere on such short notice, so decided to keep them until I got back and then explore options for placement/adoption. Then one of my pets (a guinea pig) developed an abscess which warranted a trip to the ER vet, medication twice daily and a follow-up with his primary (exotic) vet. When she noticed a change in the guinea pig, she immediately contacted me and she was able to get him treatment. Without her close eye and swift intervention, things may not have turned out so well as a guinea pigs health can be quite fragile. She has been my pet sitter for a year, and during that time she has built bonds and relationships with my pets and knows their personalities, behaviors and preferences. She is able to quickly identify any changes. She is always very professional and communicates daily via texts and frequently sends pictures/videos. She takes great care of my pets and she always leaves my home neat and tidy. It is so nice to come home to happy, healthy pets and a clean house after being away. I can not speak highly enough about her! She is wonderful! I would recommend her for any and all of your pet sitting needs.

Had Emily come for a quick two night stay. Great visit as always. Emily is prompt and professional. Takes great care of all of my pets. Communicates throughout her stay and sends frequent pictures. Leaves everything neat and tidy. She is wonderful. My pets & l love having her come stay. She knows all their personalities and routines and easily adapts when l have added additional pets to the herd. We already have her booked for an extended stay in the next couple weeks. It has been wonderful to have found Emily through Rover. I highly recommend her for any and all of your pet sitting needs!
