Abby exceeded all my expectations. This was my first time using Rover or any type of service similar so I was a little hesitant, especially since Blue can be a hand full sometimes. She checked in, sent pictures and videos and I had a cute little note when I got home. Blue has been having accidents lately and she even cleaned it up when she didn’t have to. Much appreciated. Blue and I are very pleased to say we’d 10000% book Abby again!

We are so relieved to have found JoVonna. She is officially a member of our family now. Our 4 cats do not socialize with other family members but they took to JoVonna immediately. She administered medicine, kept food and clean water available, and the cats said I have to step up my litter boxes duties to match her. JoVonna exceeded all expectations on timeliness and communication. So grateful and will book her for all future trips.

I can't reccomend Taylor enough! She took such good care of my cats and lizard while we were on vacation for a week. We have a very shy and standoffish cat and it was clear to me that Taylor made them all feel so safe and comfortable based on how willing the cats were to let her snap pics of them every day - shes a great photographer too! Great communication, punctual, flexible (thank you again for feeding and keeping an eye on our bearded dragon!), and just all around a wonderful sitter who we will absolutely be booking with again. I would trust her in my home and with my pets any day. Thank you Taylor!

Rachel was absolutely wonderful with my 3 month old puppy, Olive! She came to our home twice on Tuesday for an hour long visit each time, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Rachel was incredibly attentive—she took Olive outside, spent lots of time playing with her, and even worked on teaching her new commands. It was clear that Rachel truly loves animals and took amazing care of my sweet girl. Olive had a great time and got both the exercise and mental stimulation she needed. I would absolutely recommend Rachel to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, kind, and great with dogs!

Isabel is kind, smart, and a true animal lover. She took excellent care of my cat, who requires both force-feeding and oral medication. She was always punctual, sent plenty of pictures and videos, and consistently went above and beyond. I felt completely at ease knowing my cat was in her care. I will definitely book her again!

I am really sad that I can only give Chase five stars. She was wonderful. Polite, prompt and very reliable. She treated my dog, Cooper, like he was her own. I loved receiving updates while I was gone knowing he was getting the attention, care and love he deserves. Chase was quick to ask questions and responds to text and email in a very timely fashion. If you hadn't booked with Chase yet - you need to!

Rachel has watched my active, social cat twice now. I think both bookings were rather last minute and I appreciate how flexible and communicative she is. But more importantly, my cat loves her! He is more relaxed and less anxious when I return than when I've have other sitters watch him in the past. Highly reccommend!

Savannah took excellent care of my dogs! Both are rescues and one has some behavioral issues due to his past; Savannah was great and made a lot of progress with him in only two short visits. My dogs are not the most trusting and both were friendly and at ease with her right away.I would highly recommend her!

Taco, my cat definitely appreciated the timely meals 😆, churu treats ☺️ and play time. Definitely will continue with her for future bookings.
