Anais was a great sitter! I always feel more comfortable leaving my cats when I know that they are in the hands of a true animal lover, and Anais is definitely that. She was a great communicator and able to follow instructions on giving our special needs cat an inhaler dose every day. She event went above and beyond by trimming my cats’ nails! I would definitely book with her again.

We needed a cat sitter at the last minute and Mary came to the rescue. She even came on Christmas day for our first meet and greet. I would highly recommend Mary.

Cassandra went beyond expectations and really took care of my little ones. She on time and asked me if there was anything else she could do to help. She was able to wipe down my Persians water eyes (despite his tantrums) and asked questions to clarify the cats needs. I would definitely rebooks and recommend!

Becky went above and beyond in taking care of our cats. She was incredibly communicative, quickly responded to our cats' many antics, and was attentive to every detail of their care. Because of her great sense of humor, we were excited every time a new Rover card was posted, where her love and care for our cats was apparent. It can be hard to leave your pets with a stranger, but we felt completely at ease knowing that Becky was taking care of them. We would recommend her to all pet parents looking for a reliable and conscientious sitter.

Rest easy knowing your furry friends are in good hands! Ruby is by far the most competent and kind pet care professional I have had the honor to work with! I wouldn’t trust anyone else with my high needs pets - they require someone detail oriented, intuitive, compassionate and FUN - that is Ruby! Ruby was communicative, thorough, and easy to work with all around, what a joy! I didn’t have to explain much, Ruby took care of everything, thank you, Ruby!

Lauren is fantastic and took such good care of my dogs when I went out of town the last 3 times. One of my dogs has pretty big separation anxiety when I leave, and I was extremely grateful to Lauren for being so reliable, for playing with them, for hiding treats in their treat mats, and overall making them feel safe and happy. I highly recommend Lauren for all the above reasons. They are great!

Irina has taken care of my pupper Lomax multiple times and she has done an amazing job. He loves her! She sends pictures and makes sure that he eats all his meals — he can be a little finicky. She also makes sure that he gets lots of play time and love. She takes care of him like one of her own. 10/10 recommend!

Ben has cared for my dog Banjo more times than I can count, and he does an amazing job every time. I've left Banjo in his care for 10+ days at a time and he's great with regular updates and photos. Banjo is a big boy (100+ lbs) so needs someone who is confident at keeping him & others safe. Ben always follows all of my instructions carefully and I know my dog is in great hands, and having a great time. He even helped care for Banjo after intensive knee surgery and did a fabulous job. Ben often does house-sitting in my apartment and he is incredibly neat and tidy. My place is always in great shape when I come home.

I’ve known Yeva for more than a decade. She is very kind to animals and she’s an awesome dog mom. She adopted her dog Willow after her previous parents surrendered her to the shelter. Willow had behavioral issues and she would bark on people and other dogs. Yeva insisted on keeping her and she devoted herself to training her and finishing her socialization. She had a lot of progress and is much more well behaved and friendly know thanks to the work Yeva put into her. If I were a dog person, I’d trust my dog to Yeva without a doubt.
