“We're so grateful that Linda took care of our kitties again! We were vacationing locally and she was able to work us in at the last minute when we weren't as flexible with our schedule as we thought we'd be. Our cats appreciate her so much - and so do we!”
4. Clare S.
“I'm a repeat customer and again very pleased with Clare's loving care of my two kitties when I needed to go out of town for a day (and on pretty short notice too!). She is very precise about following instructions and has such a great way with my kitties. Thank you Clare!”
5. Janis C.
“Janis took such great care of our kitty - she was calm and gorgeous on our return. Janis understands cats and how to get them to come around and let themselves be taken care of by someone they don’t know. She also took excellent care of our leopard gecko. We highly recommend Janis and we will be hoping she is available again next time to care for our pets.”
6. Katherine K.
“Katherine took phenomenal care of my cat Pandora. I usually get nervous when I leave my cat for a long period of time alone. Katherine provided updates daily and really made sure Pandora had everything she needed.”
7. Brandi K.
“We hired Brandi for a drop-in visit for our cat while we were on vacation. She was very friendly and communicative and left us lots of information and photos. I would definitely recommend her to anyone who needs a cat sitter!”

11. Joshgun A.
“Josh did a fantastic job taking care of my cat Rigel. He especially handled Rigel's special needs - daily pilling, frequent vomiting, different dietary needs, etc. - with total professionalism. I would definitely want to use his service again if I have to travel. Thank you!”
12. Karrah D.
“Karrah was GREAT! She went above and beyond with my kitty. I’ve never left her home alone for this long (2 weeks), but Karrah reassured me and let me know my fur-baby was doing ok and quickly became kitty’s spare human. I’ve always said “choose your people by how quickly your animals accept them.” Kitty took to her right away. Thank you Karrah! You will be my first go-to in the future!”
13. Brianna R.
“Brianna took great care of my kitty Asher for a weekend trip. I came back to a happy and healthy cat. I would highly recommend her.”
14. Mikayla C.
“Mikayla took such amazing care of our cat, Louis during our recent trip. It was a relatively long trip (over 16 days) and was our first time leaving him ever but Mikayla gave us such peace of mind that he was being well taken care of at home! She gave great, detailed updates every visit with lots of pictures so we never had to wonder how he was doing. In addition to his basic needs, Louis was also well-brushed, played with every day, and kept in plenty of his favorite treats! Louis definitely has a new friend in Mikayla and we look forward to having her back to take care of him for future times we’re out of town.”
15. Linda A.
“Linda was very attentive and caring, gave us a real peace of mind being away from our pets. She asked important questions and made sure our pets were taken care of with as much normalcy as was allowed. Would definitely book again!”
16. Brendan K.
“Thanks again”
17. Emily A.
“Emily was an absolutely amazing sitter. It was my first time leaving my cat alone and Emily went above and beyond to make sure he was never lonely, she did a great job of following all the instructions I left and she made sure I was up to date with my cats comings and goings throughout the weekend. Thanks so much for making my first time leaving him alone so easy. Goose will see you again soon!”
18. Khadija K.
“Khadija was WONDERFUL. This was the longest we'd ever left the kitties and we were worried about how they'd react. She was so good with them. We returned to happy, healthy, lovingly cared-for kitty-cats thanks to her.”
19. Channing D.
“Channing was great at watching our cat! Usually our cat has a pretty solid stomach, but not this time and Channing had no problems cleaning it up off the carpet. I wouldn't have even known it happened if she hadn't said something. 11/10 would ask to cat sit again.”
20. Alexandra V.
“I have been so impressed with Alexandra. She is prompt and professional in her communication. It's clear she's very comfortable and adept with animals - our pup looks forward to seeing her. When we boarded him at her residence, our pup and her dogs got along well. Even though she was the first person I had ever worked with through Rover, she put me at ease with her confidence and warmth. She's the best, and we will continue to work with her!”
