Ashley is the best and leaves me the funniest report cards for my cat Violet. I look forward to them every day and it makes me feel so much better leaving my cat when I know someone as caring as her is watching her. She is so patient and kind to my timid kitten and I will continue to rebook her every time I need a sitter. Thanks again Ashley!

Nick is always available, professional and courteous. He’s been looking after my cat for a couple of years, not very frequently given COVID but this visit isn’t any different from the first. He’s always communicative, responds quickly and my cat is happy to see him. Highly recommend.

Erin has sat for my dog several times the past few months and has always been excellent. It's clear she cares a lot for the pets she watches and has even brought mine some treats of her own to make her more comfortable when I'm away. Communication has always been great during all of her visits. I'll continue to book with Erin in the future!

Anna has been taking care of my new rescue dog since the second day I took him home, and he immediately took to her. She takes him on long walks that give him lots of fresh air and exercise, and always checks in to let me know how Ziggy did on his walks and drop ins. I also felt instantly comfortable with her and was easily able to put my trust in her.

Emma was incredible! From the moment she met my cats, they adored her. She kept me updated with frequent messages, photos, and videos, which gave me so much peace of mind. Emma handled everything perfectly — from administering my cat’s medication to making sure they had both their wet and dry food. Honestly, I think my cats were a little disappointed when I walked through the door instead of Emma! As someone who’s also been a Rover sitter, I can confidently say Emma is outstanding, and I highly recommend her to care for your fur babies.
