10. Shauna Y.
“Shauna was fantastic! She really set my mind at ease when taking care of Stella while I was away. She was always very prompt and caring. She even took the time to wash out her food bowls so I appreciated that also. I will definitely be asking her if she can pet sit again in the future!”
11. Allison A.
“Allison is fantastic, my dog absolutely loves her!”
12. Sara R.
“Sara is a loving, caring pet owner and sitter. She is a retired nurse who has cared for all kinds of animals since she was a child, even a couple of geese! Our cats and dog feel very loved by her and well taken care of, even our sick cats that need meds. I have known Sara for 7 years and I know she has had animals all her life, at one time having 6 at once, mostly rescues. I would recommend her to anyone who needs a loving, compassionate and competent sitter.”
13. Samantha H.
“Samantha is trustworthy, safe, and kind. We have never let a sitter into our home, let alone, take care of our 14 year old senior doggie, but she made the time to meet us and our pets before hand. Our senior doggie took to her so well upon her introduction and Samantha asked ALL the right questions in preparing to care for her and our bunny. She was willing to be flexible with the schedule and our requests, and provided SO many updates. Endless pictures and messages to let us know how her stay was going. I honestly do not want to ask any one else to watch our pets. She even went above and beyond and fed my sourdough starter! Samantha is a true angel and we will ask her to sit again without a doubt.”
14. Jambaar S.
“Jambaar was great with my cats and would highly recommend him. I came home to happy and mellow kitties. He gave great updates and pictures, so I knew exactly what was going on.”
15. Edward K.
“Feeling nervous as first time users of Rover, we were very lucky to have found Ed. Our cat (T) is 15 years old and requires special attention for feeding and medicine. Not only that, but he’s a fairly anxious pet and has never gone a week without us. Ed went above and beyond to make sure that our cat received all the love and care in the world. He played with T and followed the feeding and medicine schedule. Also, for us as owners, it was reassuring to get several pictures each session so that we could see how T was doing. We trust Ed and will absolutely book him again should we need a pet caregiver.”
16. Daniel A.
“Daniel is reliable and responsible. He arrived on time, sent photos, and followed the directions I left. I would use his services again, if/when needed.”
17. Melissa F.
“Melissa visited our cat for an hour a day while we were away. She always sent detailed reports that showed she was conscientious of his well being and lots of pics. She always stayed past the hour too.”
18. Eve N.
“Eve was excellent- and very fast friends with our cat and dog. They loved her. She’s a great communicator and kept us updated and sent us pictures! We look forward to the next time, and I’m sure our pets do, too!”
19. Kelly M.
“Kelly took incredible care of our cats. She’s very communicative and shares lots of photos. Gave us peace of mind while we were away. Will work with Kelly again!”
20. Lauren H.
“Lauren was a fantastic pet sitter with my 2 cats, she gave me the most adorable daily photos and pampered my boys with playtime and brushings. I will definitely request her when I need a sitter again. 5 stars would highly recommend!”
