1. Murat Y.


“Murat was absolutely wonderful with my cat Mochi! He sent videos and photos to me and spent a lot of time playing with him and cuddling him. I felt very reassured that Mochi was well looked after the entire time I was gone. I am absolutely delighted that Mochi felt comfortable enough not only to come out but even to purr and show his "happy fangs" on video! Murat really has a special touch with cats :)”


2. Katherine C.

“Katie was great! She was very friendly and sent a ton of pictures while I was away. I came home to happy and healthy kitties—would have her sit for me again :)”


3. Elise F.

“Elise did a wonderful job cat sitting for us! On the meet and greet we did before the visits, she asked great questions and already got along wonderfully with the cat—she seemed to have a lot of experience taking care of cats and had a keen sense for how cats acted and what they liked. She was very responsive in all our communications with her. When cat sitting, Elise came promptly at the agreed upon times, and after each visit, she gave a very helpful report of how she spent the time with our cat, how his demeanor was, and what he did while she visited. She sent us a lot of photos as well so we could see what the cat was up to, which we appreciated. In sum, Elise was very friendly and responsible and we would definitely recommend her!”


4. Ashley C.

“Ashley was a conscientious and caring pet sitter to our cat, Penny. She took the time to play and cuddle with our cat and sent pictures. Would definitely request Ashley pet sit for us again. Thanks, Ashley!”


5. Audrey C.

“Audrey was amazing with our kitty! We were away for two weeks and Audrey was a reliable and trustworthy sitter. It was clear through the photos we received daily that our kitty was a fan of her and he was in good hands. First time using Rover was a great experience all thanks to Audrey. We would recommend her to anyone and would use her again.”


6. Elise L.

“Elise was super flexible and so easy to work with, this is my first time using her for Pet care and I will definitely be asking her back in the future!”




7. Daniela Z.

“Daniela took great care of our cat, Rocco. She was sweet and communicative, and I was happy to see that our shy boy warmed up to her. Even on vacation, our daily Rocco updates became a highlight of our days. Daniela went above and beyond with the pictures and rover card notes. Highly recommend, I feel confident we will be requesting Daniela for cat-sitting in the future. Thank you, Daniela!”


8. Olivia M.

“Olivia did an amazing job taking care of our cat while we were away. She left detailed updates and was very communicative. I felt very comfortable leaving our cat in her care, and our cat (who can be a bit persnickety with new folks) clearly enjoyed her company. 100% recommend Olivia!”


9. Alyson F.

“Alyson is fantastic! She was so communicative and thoughtful throughout. I got lots of pictures and details about how my cat was doing while away. I could tell from the pictures that he was so happy and comfortable with her. I’ll will definitely be planning to reach out to her again the next time Frank needs someone to check in on him.”


10. Isabel P.

“Isabel always makes me feel like my cat is well taken care of while I am away! My favorite part is the pet report card that is sent at the end of a visit - she takes the funniest photos during play time”


11. sean l.

“Sean was friendly and professional and responded quickly to my messages. He showed up for check-ins when he was supposed to, provided detailed reports, and plenty of photos.”


12. Allison A.

“She did great service for my cat, Tsuki. I will ask her to work for me again, for sure!!”


13. Caroline B.

“Caroline was extremely responsive both while I was finalizing my timing and pet sitting, and when I was away. She made it very easy to make sure everything was set. I got home last night, and Eclipse begged for food before love (I was later than I planned and it was absolutely food time), and hasn’t been mad at me at all today. All of which tells me she felt very well cared for while I was gone.”


14. Molly B.


“Molly took excellent care of my cat. She wrote informative summaries of her drop in visits and took great photos to document them. She was also very flexible and very friendly!”


15. Sharon W.

“Sharon was great in communicating and taking care of my cats! I’d strongly recommend her pet services. We will definitely book her in the future too.”


16. Junhan Z.

“This is the second time Junhan has taken care of my pet and she has been fantastic! She even stayed a bit longer to keep company to my cat rari and that really helps a lot”


17. Nicole F.


“Nicole did a wonderful job taking care of our cats. They quickly warmed up to her. The whole process was very smooth. She promptly clarified any ambiguity in my instructions, and was proactive throughout the process. I loved her status updates as well. Very detailed. I wouldn't hesitate to leave them in her care again.”


18. Emily D.

“Outstanding Pet Sitter - A True Animal Lover Emily was the perfect choice as a cat sitter over the Christmas and New Year holiday period. From the moment she took on the responsibility, her genuine love for animals and professional approach were evident. She went above and beyond by sending daily updates, complete with delightful details about my cat's activities and mood, which gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. What truly sets Emily apart is her attentive and caring nature. She didn't just handle the basics - she took the time to understand my cat's routine and preferences, ensuring everything stayed consistent and comfortable. Her communication was exceptional, always prompt and thorough, which made the entire experience stress-free. Emily's accountability and reliability were impeccable. It was clear that she treats pet sitting not just as a job, but as a responsibility she takes to heart. I returned to find my happy, loved, and well-cared-for cat safe and sound. If you're looking for a trustworthy, compassionate, and professional pet sitter, Emily is absolutely the person to call. I will definitely be booking her services again and highly recommend her care!”


19. Lily M.

“We love Lily!!! We continue to leave our little Peanut with her when we’re away—And are always so confident she is in the very best of hands! Lily gives her lots of love and attention and we’re so lucky to have her in the neighborhood!”


20. Aldila Y.
