1. Tess W.


“Tess was phenomenal with our cat Melina! Melina doesn't cuddle with just anyone, and in almost all the pictures Tess sent, Melina was on her lap making biscuits! Even during the meet and greet, Tess was so good with her and Melina felt very comfortable. Tess kept us updated regularly during our trip and was very easily accessible. She left us a very sweet note on the last day and even cleaned out Melina's food bowl. We will definitely be using her services again! We are thrilled to have found such an exceptional sitter!”


2. Shannon W.

“Shannon has been great, dropping in and walking our elderly dog almost every day. She is always timely and does a good job updating us on how is doing. So grateful to her!”


3. Olivia H.

“Olivia went above and beyond for my 2 cats. They are both shy with strangers but they are very social and get desperately lonely when I leave. I asked Olivia to be patient with them and just sit on the floor the entire half hour even if they’re too shy to come out of hiding for a few days. Not only did she do that, but she even stayed extra long one day in order to win my cats’ trust. By the last couple days, she had my cats asking for scratches and playing fetch with her! It was a huge relief to know that my girls were able to connect with her. I would definitely hire her again.”


4. Taylor A.

“I am so happy with Taylor! She was so kind to all of my animals and treated them like her own. She sent me the most thorough and detailed summary of her time at my house. I know she enjoyed them and I could tell by her many pictures that they loved her. I have two dogs and a recovering feral cat and they were in wonderful hands! Very much appreciated.”


5. Darya U.

“Darya was INCREDIBLE! Very responsive and accommodating! She takes lots of pictures and sends great recap messages. She is now my go to Rover person.”




6. Mark W.


“Mark took great care of my cat! Loved getting the pictures and updates of their visits and appreciated the easy communication. Would definitely recommend!”


7. Katherine K.
“Kathy has a kind heart and loves animals. She cares deeply for her own pets and extends this compassion to other pets too. She responsibly cares for their needs and gives them lots of attention. Your time away from your pet will be worry free with Kathy!”


8. Alison F.

“I am beyond grateful for Alison’s exceptional care of my dog. Not only did they provide all the basics—feeding, walks, and playtime—but they went the extra mile to make sure my dog was safe during a snowstorm. She was incredibly. It was evident that Alison thought about my dog and when above and beyond and truly cares about animals, and I felt completely at ease knowing my dog was in such capable hands. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter, thank you for your kindness and dedication!”


9. Brooke P.

“Brooke was fantastic! She took such great care of our kitty, sent lots of photos, and provided a little summary on each visit. Highly recommend!!!”




10. Saul B.

“Saul was great with our dogs! He asks a lot of questions and makes sure to do exactly what you want. He clearly cares about the dogs. Highly recommend”


11. Maddie M.

“Maddie was great with my dog & super accommodating. I highly recommend her. I will definitely be booking with her again the next time I have to go out of town.”


12. Maria F.

“Maria has been fantastic and reliable in caring for our two dogs regularly over the past year. We are usually nervous introducing our dogs to new caretakers as they have behavioral struggles, but Maria put us at ease. She was very adaptable and intuitive to their needs. For our dogs with anxiety, she has always provided a calm and reassuring presence. For our dog with overprotective instincts, she was persistent and respectful to establish trust. We have relied on her walking, day care and overnight sitting services regularly during our busy work schedules. She is very reliable, available and a great communicator. There is no one we trust more with our dogs. We cannot recommend her enough!”


13. Alexandru F.

“Lots of great updates, looked like they had great quality time together! Brought peace of mind to see pics of my kitty having such a fun time when I had to find someone to take care of her at the last minute”


14. Nathan T.
“Nathan kept my dog, Nellie for a week while I went on vacation. He did great with her! He was obviously trustworthy, was reliable and sent me lots of updates on how she was doing! I would recommend him for anyone that needs a sitter for their fur baby.”




15. Cosette R.


“AMAZING!!! Cosette came through for us on an emergency visit when our prior appointment cancelled. She sent pictures and even video! We truly appreciate her!!”


16. Letizia Z.

“If I could give Letizia 100 stars, I would!!!! Our cats are a little high maintenance and she followed all of my insane instructions to the letter. We left for 10 days and I had zero worries the entire time with her sweet updates. She charmed my shy guy and spicy queen, and even vacuumed around the boxes. I hope she’s ready for more business because I’m a loyal client for life now!!”


17. Ashley T.


“Ashley was outstanding! She sent us pictures of the cats on each visit and gave us updates on how they were doing. We will definitely call her to take care of the cats again!”


18. Bethany M.

“Bethany stopped in a couple times to take care of our cat Chip while we were out of town for a long weekend. She was extremely friendly and professional during our meet and greet and very detail oriented with all of the instructions. She sent pictures while visiting with him over the weekend. We would definitely book her again!”


19. Fallynn H.
“Fallynn had watched my two dogs multiple times. She is very good with dogs and also helped train my one dog. She is very gentle, patient, and caring for all animals! I think she would be great for your pets!”


20. Megan S.

“Megan was fantastic! She even watered our little garden while we were away. Sent messages and pictures to let us know Oscar was doing well. Highly recommend!”
