Phoenix was incredible! Absolutely the best cat sitter that we've ever had! He was very attentive to our cat's needs, and he provided such detailed and thoughtful updates every day. Our cat bonded with him so easily. He fed her well, played with her, and kept her litter box very clean. More so, he's a really kind, considerate, honest, and communicative person. So grateful that we found him, and would 1000% recommend him to anyone looking for a pet sitter.

This was the second time we’ve had Phoenix cat sit for us, and he was amazing as last time. Our cats cuddled up to him so quickly - I could tell they were very comfortable and feeling loved!! So grateful.

Phoenix was hands down the best pet sitter we have had through rover (or otherwise). He was on time, attentive to all our cats needs, provided thorough updates, and made sure our cats got love while we were out of town! We will definitely be booking him in the future and you’ll be lucky if he is available to care for your pets.

Phoenix went absolutely above and beyond for this job. I hired him to care for three stray cats living outdoors during cold weather, and he was incredibly reliable & professional. If you are looking for a sitter who is communicative, tough, and truly cares about the animals' well-being, hire Phoenix. He is a lifesaver!

We could not have asked for a better sitter. Phoenix went above and beyond in every possible way. He stayed with our cats for a full week over the holidays, even trudging through snow to make sure they were cared for and loved. Although we booked 30-minute visits, he often stayed for a full hour just to give our cats extra attention, playtime, and comfort. On top of that, Phoenix handled everything with total grace, including cleaning up cat vomit without hesitation. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing our cats were in such kind, reliable, and genuinely caring hands. Phoenix treated our cats like his own, and it truly showed. We feel incredibly lucky to have found him and would book again in a heartbeat. Highly, highly recommend!

Phoenix was absolutely fantastic. Our pups loved him and so did we. Communicated promptly, very kind, and just a warm presence. Highly recommend!
