“Sunshine met me on video for a chat then came over to get the key and cat care info then dropped in to care for my cats for 3 days. I felt like everything was in good hands because she was so responsive and reliable and a nice person 😀 She took good care of their needs and sent some pics that were adorable. Appreciated it all!”
“We knew our cat was in great hands with Desirée! She was caring and communicative, and our baby girl warmed up to her right away. Thank you, Desirée!!”
“Maya is amazing!!! She is super responsive, kind, and very easy to get along with. She took amazing care of my cat and was able to watch my cat last minute which I really appreciated. Maya is just the kind of person that I’d want to watch my cat or any dog, couldn’t recommend more!!!”

“Johnny was such an awesome help for my babies when I was out of town for the holidays. He gave them lots of love and attention as if they were his own.”
“Evita was fantastic! My regular sitter of 4 years was out of town, and Evita took care of my cats, plants and home as if she had been doing it forever. I wanted a little different communication than her first visit and she immediately provided what I requested with enthusiasm.”
“Christopher is consistent, communicative, and caring toward my cat Yukiko. I would recommend him as a sitter to anyone looking for a great and stress-free experience!”
“Caitlyn was great! Excellent updates and great pictures! 10/10!”
“This is the second time I used Trace and she did a great job again. Her communications about my cats were thorough and helpful (and the pictures were sweet). She clearly has developed rapport with them. I feel she went above and beyond in cleaning up a couple of upset stomach messes. Will be booking her again in the future.”
“Vanessa was incredible! She went above and beyond to ensure our sweet girls were fed, clean, and happy! She was very punctual and communicated with us well including updates, pictures, and videos!”
“Ivory came to check in on my cat daily giving me much peace of mind while I was on a trip. She is very reliable and came around the same time every day. She also is super responsive to texts/rover messages so I never had to worry! She fed my cat lots of treats and sent me pictures from her visits daily :)”
“He did great with my diabetic cat! Took time to meet with me before the visits so I could show him how to use the glucometer and when to give him insulin, and picked it up really quick!”
“Kinsey was awesome! She was super communicative and shared lots of photos. It was really nice knowing that my kitties had loving care while I was away. I will definitely be booking Kinsey for my next trip!”
“Kate took wonderful care of my elderly cat, Nacho, while I was away. She was attentive and ensured Nacho was comfortable and well-fed. Kate provided regular updates, and I could tell Nacho was in good hands. I highly recommend Kate for anyone looking for a caring and reliable cat sitter.”
“Yana is fantastic!! I was nervous about leaving my 14-year-old cats in the care of a new catsitter after their sitter of a decade moved away, but she made me and (most importantly) my cats feel comfortable in all our interactions. She’s also super responsive and flexible and added another day when we had flight delay issues. All in all, I will definitely be seeking Yana out again next time my cats need sitting! Thank you Yana!!”
