Aimee was amazing. We were a bit hesitant, as we've never used Rover before, but she was so welcoming and helpful. She came on-time, every time, and cared for our dog. We will definitely use her again!

Anthony did a terrific job taking care of my cat while I was away. He made sure she had plenty of water and food and stayed one full hour each visit (even though she was hiding under the couch the whole time)! Anthony was extremely patient and understanding of my cat and I so appreciate it. He also left very thorough reviews after each visit which allowed me to be at ease, knowing my cat was being well-taken care of. I would recommend Anthony 100%!

During my two-week trip, I entrusted Lucy to care for my two cats, and I couldn't have asked for a better experience. Lucy was incredibly attentive, consistently arriving at my apartment right on time to feed, clean up, and play with my furry companions. She even made sure to turn on the air conditioning as per my request, ensuring a cozy environment for them. Communication was seamless, with Lucy regularly sending me updates and plenty of photos, which kept me reassured and connected to my pets. It was truly a delightful experience, and I'm immensely grateful for her dedication and care!

I loved her attention to each cat's individual personality. She sent lots of detailed updates with pictures, and the time and care she gave to my boys was very clear. She followed the instructions I left but was also flexible to make good judgments that kept everyone safe and happy. I will absolutely be looking to book with her again and I know my cats will be glad!

Payton really helped us out very last minute with our girls. Maisie was just spayed and had some complications so has been on strict no movement. Payton was so sweet with them and was really attentive to everything they needed. Can’t recommend her enough!
