“We feel so lucky to have found Shannon! She is so kind and truly an animal lover. She took such amazing care of our needy boy and was incredibly considerate throughout the entire visit. Will definitely seek out her support in the future!”
“Our cats love Giada and we love working with her. She’s very responsive which is very important to me especially we are out of the country. Looking forward to more checkins”
“Carl did a wonderful job caring for our two cats! We think they were starting to prefer Carl to us! Even though he is a normally a "dog guy" he might just be a "cat guy" now too! Our cats are certainly in his fan club! It's so nice to know that we can travel knowing that this kind and careful man can care for our two cats Cappy and Dunky in our absence. Galen and Mary Crull”
“Evelyn is a god send! She was FABULOUS with our pets. We have a sassy cat and two buns who absolutely loved her! She was prompt on timing and followed all of the directions we had. She met with us before our vacation to meet our furry friends and pick up keys. She sent hilarious updates and pictures. We never had a worry with Evelyn watching our pets. 10 out 10 would book her again.”
“Rebeckah is the sweetest pet sitter I have ever met! She made my first time using Rover so wonderful, and I look forward to the next time my kitties can have a play date with her. She was very attentive towards any special needs/care that our pets need. One of my boys is usually very afraid towards humans, but it seemed otherwise with the photos I got from Rebeckah :)”
“Jennifer was a wonderful caregiver and companion to our kitty. Detailed updates each day with fantastic pictures made our time away that much less stressful, knowing our kitty was in the right hands. We will absolutely look for Jennifer as our #1 choice next time we are out of town. Thank you to amazing Jennifer!!”
“Mia was amazing and so helpful. Amazing communication she really went above and beyond with her care and took the extra step anyway she could. Would recommend her to anyone.”
“Sarah was great with our cat while we were out of town. He has separation anxiety and it made a big difference to have Sarah visit him. He warmed right up to her and loved sitting on her lap or accepting pets. Our cat has notoriously been terrible at taking his oral medication for anyone other than me but Sarah was patient and flexible in trying different methods and was able to successfully give it every day! I would definitely book Sarah again. Highly recommend her to anyone in need of a pet sitter!”
“Anna was amazing! My kitty had dental surgery recently and had some dietary restrictions. Anna was super accommodating and asked me if she had any questions. She went above and beyond what I asked her to do for my kitty. She also sends tons of pictures and a detailed report. Will definitely use her again!”
“Laura is an amazing cat sitter! She took such good care of Chili and really paid attention to her habits and personality. She was super thoughtful and gentle, and it was clear she genuinely cared. She sent lots of cute photos and videos that showed how comfortable and happy Chili was with her. Her visit notes were detailed, warm, and full of love. Laura really knew how to interact with Chili and made her feel safe and loved. She’s truly a wonderful and caring sitter.”
“HIRE THIS PETSITTER!!! Brittany was everything we wanted in a pet sitter and more. She was exceptionally professional, dependable, and gave our pets the best care possible. My girlfriend and I had not hired a pet sitter before and were a bit anxious leaving our pets in someone else’s care. As soon as we met Brittany as well as throughout our vacation, our anxieties were relieved. Our cats are usually nervous of strangers, but immediately our cats were comfortable with her presence. Every day, she took treasured photos of our pets and sent us a detailed update of how our keeps seemed to be doing. Our pets looked carefree and relaxed and really seemed to love Brittany’s visits. Knowing our pets were in Brittany’s care made our vacation that much better. She is a very passionate pet sitter; she loves her job and caring for animals and it shows. If you hire Brittany, you won’t be disappointed!!”
“Lauren was great!! She sent a lot of cute pictures and adjusted the temperature in our house when it got really hot outside. She goes above and beyond which we appreciated so much! We had no worries while we were away. We will definitely use her again!!”
“We love Jessica! I hired Jessica to come over and help me clean the litter boxes and refill dry cat food after I had surgery and couldn't lift anything more than 8 lbs. She was always on time and provided clear and prompt communication. I couldn't have survived the first-week post-surgery without her! But she also exceeded the expectations of my six kitties, five of whom are very skittish because they were a stray cat family (momma + 4 kittens) that chose my home to be theirs about 13 years ago. My cats usually hide when someone unknown comes over, but not Jessica. They came out and greeted her, rubbing her legs (sorry about the cat fur, Jessica) and purring and meowing at her. I will definitely hire Jessica again to care for my kitties - she's a kind soul and my kitties gave their stamp of approval which means everything to me. Thank you, Jessica!!”
