1. Mary Kay G.


“We loved having Mary Kay take care of our cat, Kajol! We were gone two weekends for weddings and Mary Kay dropped by and spent some time with Kajol. And I know Kajol appreciated it because she needs attention each day! Mary Kay did a great job with Kajol’s needs, which include keeping her cone clean since she’s in one for anxiety issues! Would definitely recommend to anyone to take care of their pets!”


2. Heather J.

“Heather is great! She kept the kitty happy and healthy while I was out of town, and I appreciated the photos and great communication. I am literally about to send her another booking request right after I post this review. Thank you!”


3. Maheen A.

“Maheen was amazing! She came over a day before to meet Nebula and get to know her routine. She took notes and was very prepared and respectful of our space. Will 1000% be rebooking with her!”


4. Randi K.

“Randi was so personable and trustworthy. She seemed happy to help us. We had no worries while we were gone and received plenty of pictures. She even gave our cat the eye drops that he needed. Was so grateful to find somebody who genuinely cares for all animals!”


5. Erica T.

“Erica was very communicative, flexible, and helpful. This was my first time using Rover and she made me feel so comfortable leaving my cat in her care.”


6. Kathleen C.

“Kathleen was friendly and very attentive to the care instructions that I had left for my cat. She took great care of my Maya while I was away!”


7. Jj W.

“Jj is such a fantastic catsitter! She is incredibly caring and thorough, making sure both you and your pets feel comfortable and well taken care of. She's able to navigate any difficult situations that may arise and will always treat your pets as if they were her own. I always feel at ease knowing Jj is caring for my furry crew while I'm away. Highly recommend!”


8. Katherine S.
“Katherine is amazing! So good with our pups, so communicative, and so accommodating to last-minute changes in our schedule. We'd highly recommend her!”


9. Ariel C.

“Ariel was great as always! She’s a great communicator and timely with her visits. I appreciate she always makes time to cuddle and play with our cats.”


10. Ashton B.

“Ashton was amazing with my cat! I was a little nervous leaving, but she made the whole experience completely stress-free. She sent regular updates, and I could tell my cat was happy and well cared for. My cat is usually scared and shy with strangers but with Ashton, he was playful and looked very comfortable. It’s obvious Ashton genuinely loves animals and takes the time to make them feel comfortable. I’ll definitely be reaching out to Ashton again next time I need a sitter”


11. Stefania V.
“Stefania is my childhood friend and I cannot emphasize enough the strong connection she has with animals, specially with dogs. She was raised in a household where dogs are an important part of the family so she has a lot of experience taking care of them. She’s very empathetic and loves making friends with any dog she sees so dogs on the streets follow her, and those of friends and family love hanging out with her the most. She treats all the dogs as if they were her own and she’s the favorite of all the dogs she gets to meet!!”




12. Joseph O.


“Joe was fabulous! He was very caring of my two small dogs while I was away. Kept me informed with photos on how they were doing. Thank you Joe!”


13. Carli S.

“Carli is fantastic with our puppy. She started watching her when she was 11 weeks old. Carli writes detailed updates with pictures so we always feel informed.”


14. Erik M.
“Erik is a very caring and responsible pet owner who I’ve seen take so much extra care for animals. Whether it be his own pet or one of his friends or even a stranger’s, Erik takes great care to make sure the animals around him are comfortable and taken care of. I’ve seen him researching best tactics for cat caregiving many times as he thoughtfully implements good practices into his routines with his best friend and kitty Bumi. Bumi was a starving street cat when they met and Erik and him slowly courted each other until a trusting bond was made and Bumi moved in. I hear many stories about training and caring for his past animals who he holds dear to his heart.”


15. Naomi W.

“Naomi helped us out immensely by taking care of our senior kitty while we were out of town. She distributed meds with no problems and took care of our girl with love and care. I would recommend Naomi to anyone who needs reliable and earnest pet care and will book her again in the future. Thank you Naomi!”


16. Sylvie D.
“Sylvie has a fantastic way with animals and people. She has a very thoughtful, kind, and methodical approach, and it translates to a very welcoming presence to all pets she encounters. I rescued two greyhounds recently with very high anxiety and fear, they are very frightened of new people and experiences, but from the first meeting with Sylvie they warmed up immediately and her thoughtful and patient approach won them over. Whether it's just a quick stop by or full walk or dog park the dogs feel comfortable and enjoy meeting up with her and her dog Pinto. 10 out of 10, I strongly recommend Sylvie for you and your pets needs.”




17. Alex R.


“Alex was great. On time, good communication, and my dog seemed to get along great with them. I'll definitely book again!”


18. Natasha R.
“Natasha is an attentive and affectionate pet caregiver. When I was away on a trip and my senior cat was sick, Natasha took my cat to the vet and maintained constant communication with me, until I was able to get home. It was quite a distressing time, improved by the fact that Natasha was comforting and providing care to my dear Yami.”


19. Chloee P.

“This is the second time I’ve booked with Chloee and she is sensational and trustworthy. She sends photos and updates each day and is so attentive to my old buddy! He clearly has a great time with her — 100% will book with Chloee again!”


20. Ju M.
“Ju cared for my large Doberman puppy while I was on vacation and was fantastic! She sent consistent updates and was very patient with him since he was still in training at the time. Highly recommend!”
