“As always Amy was very attentive, communicative, and helpful watching our precious senior cat while we were away. We are so grateful and would recommend her to anyone who needs a great pet sitter :)”
“Jordan did a fantastic job caring for our two cats! She administered several daily oral medications to one of our cats with such ease!! Our other cat is shy with new people and Jordan was extremely caring and allowed her to have her space while making sure her daily needs were taken care of! Jordan is very responsive and responsible and I would trust her with any pet including ones with medical and behavioral needs!!”
“I had a great experience with Kathleen! She took wonderful care of my two kittens while I was away—both were happy, healthy, and clearly well looked after. Communication was excellent throughout, and I really appreciated the updates and reliability!”
“Chuck was really great. He was very organized and professional. He was friendly and sent pictures as requested. He is definitely trustworthy and I would book him as my cat sitter again for sure!”
“Did a fantastic job with my boys! She made sure to ask me about my preferred way of taking care of my cats and sent photos during her visits so I knew they were in good hands”
“Sandra is calm, caring, and kept our house clean, and our cat was comfortable with her. We really appreciate her reliability and attention to feeding and playtime. For longer trips, it would be wonderful to have more detailed updates and to follow the agreed schedule as closely as possible, since that gives us extra peace of mind while away. Overall, we are grateful for her help and trust her with our cat.”
“Seiko did a wonderful job with our two cats. One has some extra dietary needs which she handled beautifully. And she left really great notes after each visit to update us on how they were doing.”
“Julia is a fantastic pet sitter! She is extremely reliable and we can tell that she truly loves animals — it is apparent in the playtime, snuggles, and beautiful photos she sends. She made us feel so comfortable while we were away. She went above and beyond for us - we had forgotten to cancel a meal delivery kit and she brought it in and unpacked it into fridge for us. 10/10 would recommend and will definitely be booking again!”
“Great cat sitter. Nadine was highly reliable and was able to care for our elderly cat. She made it a breeze to train her on the cat's med schedule and quirky nature. Highly recommend.”
“Megan took care of our cautious kitten while we were away and we couldn’t have been happier. Megan provided daily, detailed, updates with plenty of pictures. We’re so glad she took the time to help our fur baby warm up to her at the start of each visit. Thank you Megan!”
“Another great experience with Mackenzie taking care of my cat, Slushy, while I was away! She’s so thoughtful in updating me with how he’s doing and making sure he gets the chance to play if he’d like.”
“Sarah is seriously the best pet sitter I have experienced after multiple pets of my own, both cats & dogs. She cares for my two kitties like they’re her own. She medicated my cat twice daily without any issue, was attentive and responsive, and sends lots of pictures! I would recommend Sarah to anyone.”
“Zhao was an incredible sitter!! She sent us many many pictures of our kitties during her drop-ins, and played with them for the entire time we booked her for. We would feel very comfortable having her sit out cats again. Thanks so much!”
“Riley wrote comprehensive and in-depth reports every day, played with Greta quite a bit, took several pictures, and was always on time to spend time with Greta. I would absolutely recommend Rilee to anyone within the area who needed pet sitting services!”
“Brian is very communicative and has a very welcoming energy! It was my puppies first time with any care taker and he had a blast and came home excited, energized and with a full hour of play!”

Lucy was very receptive to what my cat needed. She came for 1 visit while I was out of state. She provided a meal, checked water, checked my cats litter, and sent a few photos. I also got a few screen shots from my apartments camera and saw that Lucy even brushed Zelish and played with her which was really nice. I felt happy knowing my cat was well taken care of.
Julia was awesome!! She checked on our 4 kitties over a week and a half and they loved her so much! She was great with giving one of our cats his insulin shot on time daily and dealing with their complicated feeding system. She always sent the best pictures and let us know how each cat was doing every day. It was such a relief to know that they were getting such good care, and me and my husband were really able to relax and enjoy our trip.
Yick-hong was wonderful with my two cats. He sent pics every day, paid attention to food running low or the cats seeming extra hungry, and even updated me via text when the Rover report card wasn't working. I felt at ease leaving my cats under his care for a week, and will definitely book him again.
Shelby was amazing with my cat Garbanzo!! She shared consistent updates with me, and I could tell from the photos that Bean felt truly comfortable with her. I appreciated her attention to detail and was very happy with how she left my home and Bean. I would highly recommend her to any pet parent!
