Kimberly has stayed with Paws on numerous occasions and things always go smoothly. Kimberly provides frequent updates and lots of photos - which I appreciate. Paws is a senior dog with special needs and Kimberly never misses a beat in taking care of him. Will book again.

Charlii was the best house sitter and pet sitter we’ve encountered. She was incredibly communicative and feeling about all the animals in our little zoo. She was able to do things we know were unpleasant for her. We’d hire her back in a second (if she’ll have us!)

Melina was an incredible dog sitter for my pup! She is highly responsive, thoughtful, and followed all of my instructions. It was my first time leaving my dog over the weekend using Rover and it was a great experience! My dog became quickly comfortable and relaxed with her and she made sure to send tons of text and photo updates throughout the weekend. Thank you again, Melina!

Christine has sat for Disco twice and has always been super communicative and caring for my little guy! She sends tons of photos and I know he's in good hands when I'm away. I was on a camping trip with no cell phone service and I didn't worry at all leaving him with Christine.

There aren’t enough words to express just how attentive and amazing Quishu is: Positive, dynamic personality with an ability to get zen when needed. She’s the kind of personality our beagles need. She followed all our doggie care and home instructions, it was such peace of mind. She sent frequent photos and videos which showed us that our adopted and often timid beagles trusted her, felt safe with her and were actually being their true goof ball selves. Most sitters think they’ll try to “fix” their issues which never works and creates a tense dynamic, but Qishu didn’t appear to judge us for all our instructions and expectations. She respected our requested level of care and the beagles and her bonded. Thank you Qishu!!

Cate stayed with our big, reactive dog for a week, and looked after our cat too. She was very responsive and responsible, and both our pets took an instant liking to her. Likewise, both looked happy and well cared for upon our return. Cate understands pets and is a very good communicator.

Spirit took incredible care of my dog Honey. Honey is a new rescue who has had some adjustments since I got her. Honey was excited for Spirit immediately, and they did amazing together. Spirit kept me up to date on what was happening, and they were responsive to my texts. I have already booked again with Spirit for next month. As someone who sits for dogs as well, I trust Spirit with my fur babe! Can't write enough positive things about them!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Kyle provided exceptional care for our cat, Peach, a once-feral yellow tabby rescue. His attentiveness and genuine affection for Peach were evident throughout his stay. We felt completely at ease knowing our furry friend was in such capable hands. Kyle's service went above and beyond our expectations. Not only did he ensure Peach was well-cared for and loved, but he also took the initiative to water our plants - a thoughtful gesture we greatly appreciated. His ability to connect with Peach, understanding the unique needs of a rescue cat, was truly impressive. Kyle's patience and gentle approach undoubtedly made Peach feel safe and comfortable. ​We highly, highly recommend Kyle to anyone seeking a reliable, compassionate, and skilled cat sitter.​ His exceptional service provided us with invaluable peace of mind. We will definitely be booking Kyle again for future cat-sitting needs.

Emma was so great! Leo was happy to see her again. She also went above and beyond this round as we used her as our rover during our wedding weekend and she brought Leo to the venue for photos and ceremony. She was a great handler for him and so patient with our timeline. Highly recommend
