“Kayla was kind and patient with our pets -- She was reliable, communicative and kept us up to date on our boys! Very easy to work with, and she would be a great sitter for anyone!”
2. Cassandra B.
“This was the first time we used Rover. Cassie was excellent and made us feel that she was the right person to take care of our babies. Although they are sweet, they are a handful sometimes when they have to be taken out for walks. The spaniel in them tends to dominate the walks. She was so sweet and sent pictures and videos and made us feel at ease.”
3. Kristen W.
“As soon as Kristen heard my cat was alone for 5 days, she went right over to feed him and calm him. She has been sending me pictures to assure me that he is ok. She also has a little helper so Dolci is getting double the loving and I can finally enjoy my vacation. She actually went over 3 times the first day which is amazing 🤩”
4. Avery R.
“Avery was awesome! He was very communicative and kept us updated with pictures and text messages about our pup. Our dog Chico was very happy with Avery and so were we! I would definitely recommend!”
5. Vanessa M.
“Vanessa is the only person I trust to watch my cat when I go away on vacation. I love my cat more than anything and wouldn’t trust her with just anyone. Last October, I went away for a week and Vanessa stayed with my cat. I was able to enjoy my vacation without any stress knowing that my cat was well taken care of. My cat also doesn’t really get along with just anyone but she truly gets so excited anytime Vanessa comes over. She’s so great with my cat and I would highly recommend her. Her veterinary background is also very convenient just in case of any emergency.”
6. Ashley C.
“Extremely happy with how our dog was taken care of. Ashley was awesome, responsive and sent updates with how Mila was doing. Would book again!”

“Thank you for a good visit with Sadie , know she enjoys it a lot because she always wakes up the next morning looking at the door waiting for you to come in.”
9. Rachel S.
“Rachel was terrific in keeping my dog and two cats happy and healthy. Since it was the first time I have ever left them with a sitter, I kinda expected them to be a little "off"...but thanks to Rachel's help, no attitude when I came home. I will certainly call on Rachel when the need arises again. Happy ending for all :-)”
10. Andrew E.
“We were very apprehensive about leaving our dog with just anyone. However, we were blessed to have found Andrew. He assured us he would take good care of our girl and he definitely did. We received updates through texts, photos, and videos, which were a great comfort. We recommend you give him a try, we’re very happy that we did!”
11. Jessika A.
“Jessika was great! She communicated a lot, sent pictures, looked after my home and treated my family just like they were her own! She was also attentive and super helpful, asking if there was anything she could help with around the house awhile I was away. If I could give her 10 stars I would ☺️”
12. Kayla S.
“Kayla is a true animal person with several pets of her own. She’s always been so kind and attentive with my own dogs! She also shows great care for our furry friends with plenty of exercise!”
13. Joshua N.
“I'm writing this testimonial on the behalf of Joshua Negron. He is very loyal and caring caregiver towards animals. Joshua is an animal lover, he has such a large place in his heart for them and very protective, for he never wants to see any animal hurt or be destroyed. Joshua owned a Lab, Golden Retriever mix dog for over 6yrs. Before he passed. I believe that Joshua would be a great candidate for the position and This is why I'm recommending Joshua N. to be part of your company as a dog caregiver. ”
14. Wesley S.
“Wes has watched my dogs in the past whenever I go out of town for work. He shows them love and extra care while I’ve been away and has even done last minute drop ins when requested. His attention to detail is one of a kind.”
15. Lisa D.
“Lisa is absolutely wonderful to work with and my dog Chester adores her!! Lisa kept me informed about my dogs overnight visit with her and sent lots of photos. She is punctual and reliable. She is very knowledgeable about dogs and I felt so comfortable trusting my dogs' care to her. Chester greeted her with a puppy bow immediately upon meeting her and I knew she was a keeper. Lisa also does home visits during workdays now for us. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for exceptional care for their pets while they are away.”
16. Kayley R.
“She goes above and beyond! One time spent an hour just helping him to be comfortable while he was barking. He is a shelter dog and she is very understanding of his quirks.”
17. Kristin R.
“Kristin stayed at my home to watch my 2 pups while I was out of town. She came over to meet the dogs beforehand and asked all the right questions to make sure she knew what my dogs needed. I didn’t have to worry at all while I was gone. Kristin did a great job taking care of my dogs and my house!”
18. Madison M.
About: Hello! My name is Madison, and I love all types of animals. I've grown up in a very animal friendly home, and have had many types of animals growing up. I love all animals like dogs, cats, small rodents, fish, and birds. When I was young I helped my oldest sister take care of her hedgehogs, cleaning the cages, feeding and letting them have floor time. I would also help with our two family dogs, a shih tzu and a mastive mix. Taking them out to go to the bathroom and giving them water. As I got older I would help give them their food at dinner and bathe them. Around the age 11 I got 2 guniea pigs as my very first pets, I would do everything for them like cleaning their cages, feeding, giving them fresh water, floor time. As these animals got older I would help massage their joints, give them extra love, and make sure they got the proper amount of exercise. Once I was able to drive I would be asked to take care of other family animals like cats, dogs, and bird. I would walk the dogs, and clean cats litter, feed and give all of the animals water, play with them, and make sure they got lots of cuddles.Along with giving medications or food supplements if needed. Currently I have 2 dogs Dutch Shepherd, and Belgian Malinois, and 13 fish. When the dogs were younger I would help potty train and teach them small tricks like spin. Currently I am in school part time, and have a part time job. Due to the times I have school and work, your pets care will be worked around those times. Allowing you pet to be completely cared for and loved while you are away. I strive to give pets the same routine they have with their parents. This is becuase keeping the same routine will help animals adjust with someone new taking care of them. Playing with pets and giving them lots of love is top priority to help them adjust to their parent not being around. HOUSE SITTING I do ask that I meet your pet before you leave so im not a stranger comming in that they dont know at all. Due to my work and school schedule, pets that need to go outside will be let out at least 4 times a day depending on age, and if there are any bowle problems. I will also spend all my free time with your pets to make sure they get love and are able to get their energy out. Staying the night will need to be discussed based on what your pets may need, as long as it is communacated I have no problem spending the night. DOG WALKS Dog walks will be at about 30 to 40 minutes.
19. Samantha A.
About: I've had pets since I was 10, from medium-sized mutts to lil' mini-poodles to German Shepherd puppies to feral cat angels. Similarly to many dogs, I am over-enthusiastic and eager, I enjoy long walks and chaotic good. I have lots of energy and will absolutely treat your pet like an anthropomorphic deity. It's your job to keep them humble. I live in Queen Village near many parks and lovely, walkable areas. I like to run (if that’s your dog’s thing) and equally so, I like to couch potato it (if that’s your dog’s thing). I work from home at present, so I’m very flexible in my availability and the amount of time I’m able to spend with your pet throughout the day. I keep my place tediously tidy so there are no worries about your pet getting into anything toxic. All of my houseplants are out of pets' reach, I primarily use organic cleaning products. I feel safe unleashing a small infant here. At your place, I'll just be hyper vigilant and respectful of your space.
20. Katrina A.
“This was our dog’s first time being left on his own with a sitter. We were a bit worried, but Katrina was fantastic! She made an instant connection with him and we could tell that he felt comfortable right away. We were even happier the next day when we returned home and our dog was relaxed and doing great. We highly recommend Katrina. 5⭐️’s!!”
