“Madeline took great care of our cat. She kept us updated, played with her, and gave her lots of attention. The litter boxes and house were clean; she brought in our mail, packages, and trash can. We will definitely be calling her again!”
“Last minute call! Kaitlyn was available and cheerful about it she also called to make sure she had the right food and she had to go into hiding place in the garage for the key because I was not prepared to be away.”
“Tiffany always does a great job for us.”
“Courtney was amazing with my beasts! Super responsive - super responsible! My scaredy cat who’s terrified if everyone took to her immediately! So glad I’ve found someone I feel so comfortable trusting my babies with!”
“Amanda was such a sweet caregiver for our fur baby. She was punctual for visits, attentive to our cat’s needs, and thorough with following any instructions provided. We felt completely comfortable with her watching our cat while we were out of town & would absolutely reach out to her for rebooking in the future!”
“Marc did a great job caring for our two cats. He stopped by daily while we were away and was reliable and helpful. He went above and beyond to spend time with them and clean up after them and got along very well with the cats. Definitely would recommend Marc’s services to a friend and would not hesitate to have him cat sit for us again.”
“Completely reliable, excellent communication. Hope to use her again.”
“My cats are indoor-outdoor cats and can be shy with strangers, so they can be challenging for a new sitter, but Lauren did a fine job of keeping track of them and making sure they were safe and fed. She even managed to snatch a few photos to send to their worried mom! 🙂”
“Sarah took great care of our lil Theo while we were away. Really appreciate the updates each visit- provided peace of mind while we were on vacation! Thanks Sarah!”
“Kate was my first cat sitter since adopting a cat and was so great. She wanted to know all about my cat, his schedule, initiated a meet and greet and came right on time, read the care instructions, and sent me cute updates when I was away. It was a relief to have peace of mind and know my cat was in good hands. He was content when I came back, so I know he was well taken care of when I was out. Thank you!!”
“Yana was amazing! She took care of my cat very well and even went the extra mile to sweep up the litter box area. Would definitely book again 😊”
“Frida was great! She watched our cats for over a week, they tend to be shy but warmed up to her and let her pet and play with them by the end. We appreciated the updates and photos she shared as well :)”
“Took terrific care of my cat over the weekend while I was away! Very caring and understanding. Was available for work the night before which was wonderful. Sent cute pics of the cat so I could see he was doing well :). Would strongly recommend her services!!”
“Always love working with Jennifer, she is thorough and the cats really like her. I highly recommend using Jennifer for any of your pet sitting needs!”
“I was very hesitant to use rover for the first time but Michael was very kind and answered all of my questions. He really took the time to learn about my pups and make sure they were happy while I was away. They warmed up to him quickly and let out their crazy side. I felt like we were in constant contact so I knew my dogs were being well taken care of which really took a weight off my shoulders. He even went above and beyond by sweeping up the dog hair which with a Great Pyrenees at home really builds up fast. I am so happy with how everything went and will definitely be using Michael again in the future. It was truly a great experience and I can’t thank Michael enough he really did and amazing job!!!”
“Thanks for your help with our kitties”
“Joselyn was an excellent pet sitter and provided Rhythm with her medicine daily. She gave great updates and we returned to a very happy kitty! Would definitely recommend!”
“Jess was very responsive and did a great job with our cats!”

Erin H.
“Erin is one of the most responsible people I know. She's balancing college, a job, and volunteering with various clubs and organizations on campus. She's had multiple dogs and cats her whole life and they're so well cared for and loved. All of her pets receive fantastic care and are exercised according to their needs: her young dog goes on longer walks while her older dogs and cats get less intense play. Any animal placed into her care is going to be well-loved and cared for as if they are her own.”
Lauren C.
“I have two cats and two dogs and I think they love Lauren even more than us sometimes! She is always on time, gives everyone so much love and attention. They are always over the moon to see her and there is literally no one I would trust more with my fur babies. She’s just the best!”
