Absolutely fantastic! I had circumstances change and last minute needed a drop in visit. Rachel went above and beyond to not only be available, but to make sure my baby was fully taken care of and happy! She also communicated promptly and sent pictures along the way. Would 100% recommend and will keep her in mind for future.

Charlie is a gem! He’s super responsive and always communicates quickly. Our pup is on the lower energy side, but I really appreciate that he stays the entire time and makes sure he feels comfortable and at ease. It’s clear he cares about the pets he’s looking after. Highly recommend!

Julia is an ANGEL! She was able to work me in last minute for a drop-in visit with my sweet dog, Fritz, and I’m so grateful. Fritz doesn’t usually do well meeting new people for the first time, but Julia and her sweet pup have such a calm and caring presence that Fritz felt comfortable right away. Fritz looked so happy and content in the photos Julia had shared, and I could tell she had been well cared for. Knowing that Julia took such great care of my pup gave me so much peace of mind. Thank you, Julia, for going above and beyond – we will definitely be booking with you again!

We could not have asked for a better person to watch our two little ones when we went away for an extended period of time. Not only did she send amazing pictures and made sure they were getting enough love, but she was invaluable during a particularly stressful period of time when both of our cats automatic feeders went off-line, and we couldn’t figure it out remotely. Out of the kindness of her heart, she went back to our apartment multiple times to ensure that the cats were fed, she truly went above and beyond for them, and I can’t imagine asking anyone else to watch over our cats.

Pedro was the most perfect pet sitter for our cats! He is very caring, has extreme attention to detail and followed my instructions very carefully. One of my cats is overweight and I expressed my concern with her getting proper exercise, and Pedro made sure to send videos of her chasing the laser pointer, without me having to ask! I will definitely rebook with him in the future. Thank you so much for being a trusted sitter!

She made sure he got his exercise too and lots of love. I’m so grateful! Chester would love to see her again soon!

Melanie was wonderful with our Georgia. They bonded immediately, which was unusual for my fur baby. We exchanged information in case of any pressing questions or emergencies. She remember all of our instructions regarding, “The Duchesse” and texted to clarify about a medication. I couldn’t have been any more pleased with her work, and I highly recommend her services.

Lilly has taken care of our cats 3 times now, and she's consistently fantastic! 10/10 would recommend. She's taken great care of our cats, and it's clear from the pictures she shares that our cats really look forward to her visits. Lilly also brought some packages inside that were delivered while we were out of town, which is above and beyond the responsibilities of a Rover sitter. We look forward to booking her services again!
