“Jennifer was great! I would definitely recommend! My pug and cat were well looked after and Jennifer was communicative daily with great pics. Appreciated Jennifer’s flexibility at short notice too.”

“Naomi is so wonderful with our puppy Rani. She’s flexible, kind, understanding on time and patient. She has a lot of fun with Rani. We are very lucky to have found Naomi and I highly recommend Naomi to anyone looking for pet care. Rani can’t wait to see Naomi again! Thank you!”

“Chloe watched my 2 kitty babies while I was out of town and she was absolutely incredible! They’re usually really shy and hide but they warmed up to her right away. She always fed them on time and took the time to give them extra pets and treats. She’s super communicative and very friendly and professional. Highly recommend and will definitely be hiring her again!!”
“Daphne was fantastic and kept us up to date on our dog while we were gone! We even had a vase of flowers that somehow got spilt while we were gone and she cleaned all the water up without even saying anything to us. Thank you so much!!!”

“Summer took wonderful care of our kitties while we were away on a holiday weekend. We were able to relax knowing they were in good hands. Highly recommend Summer for your pet sitting needs.”

The best service I have ever experienced with my dog and a sitter. I will for sure be reaching out to Holly again for service.”

“Zoe was wonderful! She gave both of my cats lots of love and attended to all of their needs while I was gone. She left great detailed notes about each visit so I knew exactly how everything was going and included lots of photos.”

“Ben was easy to communicate and coordinate with on a last-minute trip out of state. My newly adopted cat was not used to a visitor in the home and hid under the bed, but Ben talked with him about his day and brought him favorite treats to the edge of the bed, helping to familiarize himself and gain trust over the week.”

Oakford Park pet parents share their Rover experiences
Our pets always have a great time with Emrick! She truly loves them and gives them the best care when we’re away. And, our house is always so clean when we return, which is not necessary but is a nice bonus. We couldn’t ask for a better pet sitter and are so grateful that we found Emrick. Thanks for another great stay, Emrick!

This was my first time using Rover and Sahily was amazing. My cat is definitely my fur child so I was worried about her being by herself while I was on vacation, but Sahily helped me feel much more comfortable about it. She sent me pictures and updates everyday, and took time to play with Maui and give her treats. I’m so thankful for her!
