“I wish I could leave 6/5 stars. Thank you so much Gabrielle!!! You saved us when we needed last minute help! We will probably never find someone more trustworthy and caring as you!❤️”
“Jacquelyn took great care of the dogs. I received pupdates every day, and they always seemed like they were having a good time. Will definitely book again in the future!”
“Kelly has been an absolute blessing. She has helped me give injections to my cat over the past six weeks. She is incredibly kind, often brining a treat for Ciri, and helping me to keep my sanity by calming a very anxious kitty.”
“Brennen was an excellent sitter for my kitten, Biscuit, while I was out of town for two weeks. She was incredibly reliable, communicative, and clearly has a genuine love for animals. Biscuit is a playful and social little guy, and it was clear he had a great time with her. I received regular updates and adorable photos, which made being away much easier. I came home to a happy, well cared for kitten. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with Brennen again-highly recommend!”
“Lindsey was available kind of last minute and worked with our schedule to be able to do a pre-meeting. She sent pictures and communicated with each visit to check on our sweet cats. We felt confident that our loved ones were in good hands so we could relax and enjoy our vacation!”
“I was told of Rover.com from a co-worker who had used your service, but I was a little apprehensive going on to the Rover.com website because I did not know what to expect but quickly realized there were folks (sitters) I knew, and that eased my mind. I like how you set it up the meet-and-greet to see if the sitter and dog(s) match. While I was on vacation, I had peace of mind that my babies were in good hands. I do greatly appreciate Stacy and her calm demeanor with my Ammo, who is a little protective of me, but she took to Stacy, and all was well. Thank you all for the service you provide and for Stacy who did an outstanding job ensuring my little ones were good each day. A believer of Rover.com Josué”
“Highly recommend Yentl for any of your pet care needs! This was my first time using Rover and I really lucked out finding Yentl. Since it was my first time leaving my cat with someone new I was really nervous and she took amazing care of my baby. Thanks again Yen!!!”
“Ariel cat and house sat for us while we were on a short trip. Despite having to deal with several unexpected challenges, she was always professional, had excellent communication, and made lemonade out of lemons! She had car trouble on her way to our home, yet she still found a way to arrive on time. Our alarm system malfunctioned while we were gone with the fire alarm going off several times in a row for no apparent reason, and she dealt with the whole ordeal--even meeting with the firemen--very calmly and made sure our cat was safe and sound once it was all over. She left the house in perfect condition. In fact, she even stripped the bedsheets so it would be easier for us to just throw them in the wash. We felt comfortable with her in charge.”
