Wonderful with my Colby! Highly recommended. Heather is reliable and was available in a pinch when my sitter was unavailable. She bonded with him quickly and I feel secure with him in her care.

Casey is the best! Any time Casey drops by the check on the cats while we are away, we come home to very happy kitties. Casey also always takes time to play with them and send pictures! 🐈🐈‍⬛

Wow. Sarah was exceptional! I was out of town for 10+ days. Sara consistently sent pictures along with a status of each visit. Cats were very well taken care of. Sara is the sitter you hope to find while taking a chance on an app. I am fortunate to have found her. Thank you Sara! P.S. cat food ran low so Sara volunteered to pick up a bag. That is service with a smile!

Jose did an amazing job with Marley! I was able to leave an entire week without having to worry once. Was always on time and walked my dog to the park every time. Marley loved Jose, so much so Marley was playing fetch with sticks which I’ve never seen him do! Jose also took amazing pictures at every check in

Clyanna was fantastic with our cat!! He's notoriously grumpy but was playing with her after just a day or two or getting to know her, which is high praise from our orange boy! Clyanna was communicative, friendly, and so kind with Roo, especially during the holidays when we couldn't be with him. We will definitely work with her again!

Nailah's my sister. Animals always loved her. Our dog especially is always by her side and looks to her for care and attention when my dad isn't in the house. She’s usually the one who takes care of most of his needs, from feeding him to taking him out for walks and showing him plenty of love. You can tell our dog feels happiest and safest when he's with her. She’s incredibly responsible, especially when it comes to taking care of our dog. She makes sure he’s well-fed, healthy, and is the first to notice when his behavior changes. She takes her role very seriously and always puts Achilles's needs first, which makes her someone you can rely on when it comes to looking after your animals.

Laney has been doing drop-in visits for our new puppy for the last two weeks while we're at work and we are so delighted to have her help! Our puppy absolutely adores her and enjoys the time to play and have some company midday. Laney is super responsive and great to work with :) Highly recommend!

Eleanor is terrific! She was very conscientious about knowing how to administer my cats’ medicines. When I returned from my trip, my house was as orderly as when I left it. Most importantly, she has a real affinity for animals. My cats loved her. One of them is very reserved but I could tell from the notes and pictures she posted on Rover that he warmed up to her very quickly. I felt very comfortable having left my cats in her capable hands.

Rachel was great and made me comfortable leaving my cats for a week. She sent me pictures and videos like I asked for and seemed to genuinely enjoy spending time with my cats :) Rachel kept an eye on heat warnings in the area and adjusted my AC and fan accordingly & recognized when the cats would enjoy some open-window fresh air which I really appreciated. I would definitely ask Rachel to cat sit again in the future!

Elena did a wonderful job with our 2 dogs. She was timely and sent great photos while she did her visits. We’ve used Elena two separate times and both times worked very well for us. We could do what we needed to do knowing that are pups were well taken care of. Plan to have Elena care for them again.

Jennifer has one of the most caring and gentle hearts I know! Aside from this innate quality of hers, on a professional level, she is reliable and extremely hardworking. Her love for animals also runs deep, as she has cared with patience and love for her own pets. This love and attention would carry over to any pet she is able to care for! I could not recommend Jennifer more!
