Jackiellen took great care of our kitty, Pepper for our first time leaving her since we adopted her. She was right on time with every drop in visit and gave us reassuring updates and photos. We could tell Pepper was well looked after. Will definitely book Jackie again!

Katey provided great care for our cat while we were away for the holidays. She cuddled and played with him to his heart’s content. She was on time every day and sent many pictures and updates to ease our minds. Definitely recommend!

Julia was great at caring for our pups. She did an hour long drop in and made sure they had some time outside and our pup was not in his kennel while my wife was working. Thank you for taking care of them and helping us out.

The kitties had a great time with Haley. She provided us with excellent, detailed daily updates, photos, and kept an eye on some health issues we’ve been tracking. She made sure our lady got her medication twice daily and cleaned up and notified me of some vomit from our older boy with kidney disease. Haley came by for a meet and greet before our booking and we were very impressed by her; she’s very personable, professional, and we could tell she loved kitties and animals and would give them great care while we were gone. She was super flexible when I had to push our trip forward a week due to a personal health reason and I’m glad we made the decision to book with her !

We love Jackie! We have two crazy active pups and Jackie is so great interacting with them. They loved her immediately, Dapper even whined for 15 minutes after she left because he wanted his friend to come back! I have always been hesitant to rely on a sitter for them, but since meeting Jackie I feel very confident and secure leaving my dogs care to her! Thank you!!!

Justine was great! She took care of our two fur babes for two days and didn’t miss a breakfast dinner and midday. Would 10/10 recommend to others.

I definitely recommend Catey, particularly if your quadrupedal babes tend toward anxiety or need confident medication administration. This is the first sitter I've ever hired who wasn't already familiar with my cats and our home. I was nervous because of my boys needs medicated eye drops every 12 hours, which isn't his favorite thing by far, and he also generally takes a while to get comfortable with new people. Catey's super calm and solid demeanor was evident from the get-go, and this helped my boy a lot. Meds went off without a problem. Everything that needed doing for both cats was done, and my boys were chill as can be when I returned home. Catey was also super communicative and seemed like a solid, kind person in general. I couldn't ask for more from a sitter!

Brandon is a great pet parent and pet sitter. He is very responsible and reliable, he will be there when he says he will be. He has cared for many of his friends' pets and has pets of his own, so he knows how important it is to pet parents that their precious fur buddies are well taken care of.

As a guide dog user I am extremely picky about who I allow to take care of my dog. I felt entirely comfortable leaving my guide dog with Hedda for a week this past August. She was attentive to the instructions I provided around care and behavior management and the specific commands that he responds to. After a week I picked up a happy healthy dog and would not hesitate to utilizer her again for dog care.

I have always relied on Brendan to care for my pets while I’m away, and he has consistently proven himself to be a trustworthy and dependable friend. He is now available on Rover, offering his expertise as a pet sitter. With extensive knowledge of various animals, including both dogs and cats, Brendan provides compassionate and reliable care. I highly recommend him to anyone in need of a skilled and friendly pet sitter – your pets will be in excellent hands.
