“Norma was wonderful and did a great jobs with my two cats. Kept me posted how they are doing and made feel good knowing they were in good hands. I will definitely use her again in the future to help with my 2 cats. I highly recommend her.”
“Brittany came in as my savior yet again, my sweet kitty got sick right before I left for a short vacation and she was able to squeeze in a very last minute, extra visit to check on him and administer his medication. Normally I would have been a wreck under the circumstances but with Brittany I was confident he was getting the best care. The peace of mind that comes from knowing my babies are in good hands is priceless. Thank you as always Brittany!”
“Barbara did a great job! She took extra care in communications, and even checked on our cats extra when she had a concern. We'll definitely be booking her again!”
“Hope was my first Rover booking and I was a little nervous. She helped allay my fears and worked to make. My cats fell at ease. They were well taken care of and miss seeing her already.”
“I read reviews for Haley before we booked our visit and they all seemed to be sparkling, as were her Visits with our two cats. She represents your company very well and is well-spoken, professional and w we’ll be very happy to ask for Haley in the future. 👍💕”
“Tommy and Julie were fantastic this past week. They came over in advance to meet our cats and see what their routine was like. They asked lots of questions to make sure the booking was a good fit for us and them. They were very friendly and responsive while we were gone, they arrived on time every day, brought in packages and mail for us when they were here. They took time and care to feed the cats, clean their dishes and played with them every day. We received daily pictures and video from them as well. Would definitely recommend them and will be using them again as well!”
“Alyssa is dependable, reliable and knowledgeable. We know we can trust her to take the best care of our cats while we are away from home which gives us great peace of mind.”
About: I have been a Petco certified dog trainer since I was 18 and have dog/house sat many times since! I treat your dog like family and your home with respect! I am flexible! I am available Mondays and Thursdays all day. Saturdays I get off work at 2:00pm I work 9-5 during the rest of the days of the week. But I always need an excuse to use PTO so watching your fur baby won’t be problem! I just need a two week notice Quality time will be spent with your fur baby to make sure they keep busy. Plenty of playtime and mental stimulation. I love using puzzle toys, snuffles and other things to get a dogs mind working!
About: I’ve grown up with pets my whole life and have done sitting on the side for family and friends. I have raised my dogs from puppies to now they are 15 and 10 I also got a kitten about a year ago and she’s been enjoying the ride ever since! I am currently in college. I am planning on getting another part time job so I will be sure to communicate with my clients the schedule for that. I take care of my own pets everyday and would love to add yours too. I have grown up with animals my whole life so their routine is my routine. I believe that we owe it to our pets to make sure their needs are met and that they are happy.
“Amazing!!! They both did a wonderful job of taking care of my fur babies. They picked up pillows that my bad fur kids knocked down and straightened a few other things. They managed to find their hiding spots and take photos of them during their check-ins. Had a few packages arrive earlier than anticipated and they were gracious enough to bring them indoors. I definitely recommend them and hope they are available when needed in the future.”
About: Hi there! I have been watching animals for the past 20 years (both my own and friends'). I currently have a cat named Kona and a dog named Indy. Kona is full of spunk and has a great personality. She has experience living with dogs and is well socialized. Indy is still a playful puppy and a bit of a goofball. He’s well socialized and loves to play with other dogs (both large and small). In terms of care experience, I have experience with training and building social confidence. I also have significant experience working with senior cats and dogs: mobility issues, medications, blindness/deafness, seizures, and incontinence. As a recent puppy adopter, I also have experience with younger animals and can help with socialization, training, etc. I’m currently working hybrid, so have flexibility for walks and drop in visits. I have a preference for walks in the early morning and late afternoon / evening. I have a fenced in yard and live near the 606 trail. We often take walks around the neighborhood and play a bit in the backyard.
“Kimberly was great. Was going to be out of town for a week and could only get a friend to come by a couple days so wanted to make sure my four cats water was topped off and food dispensers kept working properly. Booked Kimberly for three day to drop in and just check on them, their litter and water. Even though they’re wary of new people I think it made a world of difference and she was able to see three of them and confirm they were fine, sending along pictures and a brief update. This gave me a chance to relax on my trip and not stress out. Will definitely use the service and if Kimberly is available, book her again!”
“Christy gave special care and attention to my senior dog. She was this little dog's, who had gone through many changes in a short time, first pet sitter and it went well. I will welcome Christy back and recommend her as a reliable, caring pet sitter.”

Hannah J.
“Hannah has grown up caring for her pets. Early on she spoke of becoming a vet and never hesitated accompanying her pets to their vet appointments/surgeries. Her childhood books would featured dogs or horses. Losing her first SCWT at 3 yrs old, she begged to have another SCWT in our family. By her 8th Christmas, a puppy was promised and delivered that following June. In transitioning between home and college, she rescued a SCWT and they have become close travel companions. Hannah is mindful of the care and energy pet companions require and is an advocate for their well-being. She is nurturing, responsible, anticipates, plans, and sees tasks to completion.”
