Kirsta was super attentive with Binx and provided photos that gave us reassurance that he was well and above all else, happy. Keeping him in his own home whilst we were away was a good choice and we'd certainly look to Kirsta to look after him again. Thank you Kirsta!

Sarah was wonderful with my cat, Kira and was everything I would want in a pet-sitter. She was responsive to any messages and sent photos of har visits. There are a number of pictures of Kira cuddled on her lap which is not something Kira does with many people. I will happily book Sarah again!

Carla is an extremely caring and overall positive person who loves dogs and devotes several hours every Friday to walking them at the SF SPCA. I recently spent some time volunteering with her and immediately noticed firsthand how she displayed huge amounts of understanding and patience and also provided extra special attention to the unique and varied personality traits of each individual dog. This seems especially crucial given the unpredictable and sensitive nature of rescue dogs and she seems to fully understand and sympathize this point. She was also happy to provide me with a thorough explanation on the importance of not letting dogs interact, despite how tempting it was, due to the possibility of transmitting diseases such as kennel cough and to avoid unexpected reactions/ interactions. She also diligently provided detailed descriptions post walk for each dog and what she experienced with them. I myself am hoping to adopt a rescue dog in the near future and Carla has been such a great source of information; from simply forwarding local pet rescue websites and pointing out specific dogs that she feels would be a great fit, to assessing the characteristics of certain breeds and providing insight into natural, species specific diets. Lastly, Carla leads an active, healthy, on-the-go lifestyle which I feel is conducive to keeping our furry friends happy, comfortable and entertained, and would make her a great dog sitter. I wouldn’t hesitate to have her sit my (future) dog for me and would definitely recommend her!

Lydia did a stellar job! She is reliable, on time and a she understands how to take of a cat, which is rare. I can tell she was here and actually paid attention to our cat because of the cat’s behavior when I got home. I would recommend her to another cat owner

Genna is the friendliest person and one of the biggest animal lovers I know! She has a cat named fifi who she takes loving care of and spoils like the little queen she is. She’s had both dogs and cats who she’s loved and cared for and I wouldn’t want anyone else looking after my pet! She’s the best.

Alaina took care of my pup and before that of my senior dog multiple times. She absolutely loved them both and created the most adorable, heartwarming rover cards for each visits that made my time away so peaceful whether it was at work or a trip. My animal had the best time with her, she gave them lots of pets, lots of pee breaks and play for the dog and love and warmth for the cat. Followed all the instructions flawlessly, communicated amazingly. Best experience on rover so far and we had some great ones! We’ll be a repeat client for sure!!

Jane was fantastic! She gave me so much peace of mind leaving my overly-social kitten at home. He loved her visits and I really appreciated how Jane went above and beyond to keep both he and I comfortable. You can tell she has a real passion for animals.

Leonard dropped in to check in our cat while we were away for the weekend. He was very communicative, provide photos and made sure to spend time playing with our girl :) he also helped out while we were away by bringing in packages and taking care of garbage day. We plan to use Leonard again for help with our pets!

Meghan has been caring for our 2 Labradors for two years, and I can’t say enough kind things about her. Meghan truly loves our dogs - she throws our training bumpers for them so they get plenty of exercise, she feeds them, gives them treats, supplements, meds, and follows diet restrictions when they are feeling ill. Meghan gives our girls lots of pets, and texts us when she notices a change in their health or has a question. Meghan is very responsible and would recommend her to anyone!

If you have any doubts about leaving your furry friend in the care of a home sitter, Marisa will put your anxieties to rest. She took great care of my good buddy Gus the Cat, hanging out with him, giving him treats, and sending daily images of the little guy. I simply could not be more pleased, or grateful.

Madaline was an absolute delight! I would highly recommend her anybody that needs a dog cat or sitter. She sent me updates and pictures and went above and beyond what I asked her to do. My dog took a liking to her immediately. My cat also took a liking to her as well which is amazing because she doesn’t like many people. I will definitely be hiring her again. Thank you so much Madaline! A++++

Rick is great with animals, having his own lab at 10, big lovable chocolate. Not only did he teach him to sit, stay, walk on a lead, but to fetch, catch things, wait when he walked away and to never jump on people. All done with kindness and consistency. His current dog he adopted as an adult. Rick rehabbed him into being wonderful and playful with all the needed obedience that are needed for a successful dog. His dog comes first and someone else' would have the same loving care.

Nick has been a great cat sitter and loving companion to my cat Marvin. He is someone you can feel comfortable leaving your pet with and rely on him for good communication. I've seen first hand how he treats the cats and dogs he cares for-giving them constant attention and love as well as sending cute picture updates. Nick is thoughtful and will care for your pet as if it were his own. I definitely recommend him!
