“Grateful to Terez for her cat sitting services! We have a shy cat that likes to hide from sitters. It was no biggie for Terez, she's a pro. She feed Bandit and cleaned the litter box, brought in mail and communicated each day. Will book again, thanks!”

“Julie is one of my favorite dog walkers I’ve ever had. She’s confident and competent which was relief since I have a dog reactive German shepherd. I really appreciate the notes she makes after each visit and feel so much better knowing she’s taking care of my dog.”

“Shane is always our go to cat sitter. Our cat loves him and he is always responsible to come at the same time each day and also communicates easily With us.”

“She took great care of our hammy girl, Im glad we found Cait! She gave ham some much needed pets while we were away. Cait also left very detailed notes when checking in on our ham. Very happy!”

“Erin has been absolutely amazing with my puppy, Sienna! She genuinely loves and cares for her as if she were her own, and that gives me so much peace of mind while I’m at work. She always provides thoughtful updates with photos and pays close attention to the little things. That level of attentiveness means so much to me. Erin also goes above and beyond by reinforcing Sienna’s training and routines during her visits, which has been incredibly helpful as we’re working on potty training and building good habits. She is reliable, compassionate, and truly invested in my puppy’s wellbeing. I couldn’t ask for a better sitter, and I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will treat their pet like family.”

“Abbey was great with our two kitties! She's very responsive, handled oral medication, and dealt with a few logistical hurdles with lots of grace. Would highly recommend!”


“Caroline is great! She was able to work with my dates for a holiday booking which was amazing. Very easy to talk to and provided great care when dropping in. She sent me very cute pictures and provided descriptive report cards. I will definitely book again for my next vacation. Thank you Caroline!”

“Laura took a very last minute booking to drop in on my cats when I was snowed in and unable to find anyone else to look after them. She did an amazing job and took such great care of my boys. So grateful for her and would highly recommend her for your furry friends!”

“Sophia was great to work with! She was willing to accommodate my request with short notice and was flexible when I needed to modify plans. She was very communicative and sent photo updates. She gave great attention and care to my two pets. They were immediately comfortable with her. I will definitely book her again!”

“It has been so great having Allison to drop in on our dogs during the day! She is consistent and communicative. It definitely is a weight off our shoulders knowing the dogs get some play time while we are at work.”

“Tex is a super anxious dog and Nicollette was absolutely wonderful with him. Sent the best updates. Will definitely be asking her to take care of Tex again in the future.”

“We felt stress-free knowing our cat was in Alexandra’s hands. Our cat is very skittish and doesn’t trust new people, but was letting Alexandra pet her only a few days into watching her! Every night, I looked forward to the photos and updates Alexandra would send. I would recommend her to absolutely anyone!”

Daisy has been a wonderful sitter for Mushu on multiple occasions. She is flexible and a great communicator. She is adaptable in handling my cat even when he gets himself into trouble. She is trustworthy and I can't recommend her enough. Thank you for all your help, Daisy!

This is probably my 4th or 5th time booking with Caroline and she has been consistently wonderful. I booked her for drops ins for nearly a 2 week period this time and she provided descriptive updates on everything as well as the cutest pictures. When he had an accident she let me know and cleaned it up as well as monitored him after that which gave me peace of mind. Will always recommend Caroline!

Erin is absolutely amazing! Her experience shows and it’s very clear she has a special touch when it comes to pups! I recently adopted a German Shepherd who is a rescue and during her drop in visits, Erin has worked with him greatly to get more comfortable in his new home! She provided me with detail notes about his behaviors and has gotten some great pictures! Would recommend highly! Thank you Erin!

Annie was amazing and we're so happy she was our first experience with Rover! She followed instructions to a T and more, messaging us when our directions lacked sufficient detail. She made sure our cat got the full treatment, including playtime and continuing our training. We were worried our cat would like her more than his newly-adopted family ;) We'd definitely use her again.
