“Abby was wonderful in staying in touch and updating me on my pets. I loved seeing the pictures of them from each visit. She was great at communicating and put the well being of the kitties at the forefront of the visit. Overall am very pleased with her service and would use her again in the future.”
“Communicates well, warmed to my cats easily, sent great photos, managed mail and packages without any hitches. Would definitely have her back!”
“I sent Ioana the request on short notice, and she was very happy to help. She sent photos for every visit, and even took extra time to play with the cats.”
“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.”
“Rachel was so great with my kitten and I know he was happy to see her. She helped me out with a last minute request after I had a cancellation and followed everything I asked for perfectly.”
“Super responsive, follows all instructions, does meet and greets, addresses any concerns and tailors care to dog’s needs. Super flexible as well. Thank you for taking care of Doug!”
“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!”
“Maggie took wonderful care of my girl Samantha. She spend a lot of extra time with her and gave her lots of cuddles ! Also took time to go above and beyond and clean the litter box. Would highly recommend her to care for any of your furry loved ones !”

“Dylan was great. Came the day before to meet the dogs to make sure everything went smooth the following day. This was big because our one dog is a bit timid when meeting new people. The visit itself also went very smooth and he had a great attention to detail which was a relief because our other dog is a 4 month old puppy. Would book again!”
“It was so nice to be able to enjoy a day out and know that my dog was taken care of just how I would! He got a nice walk, dinner, play time, and I received plenty of pictures. I really appreciate how kind and great at communicating Taylor is and would definitely have her look after my dog again!”
“Thea is absolutely amazing!! This was my first time using Rover, and Thea made it a great experience! Thea is communicative, thorough, and goes above and beyond to make sure both Frankenstein is well taken care of and happy (plays music, gives treats, snuggles, etc.) Thea also eases my anxiety by sending photos and videos after each visit and leaving detailed messages. I’ve already booked Thea again for my next trip!”
“Erica was amazing! I have a high needs cat and Erica took the time to meet and learn how to take care of him ahead of time. Highly recommend and I’ll certainly be a repeat client.”
“Danielle was great - I felt confident my cats were in good care. Danielle is really easy going and goes above and beyond. We also had to make last minute changes to our schedule and Danielle helped with that!”
“Allie was great! She sent us pictures and short videos after every visit and messages to let us know how is our bunny boy doing. We we’re leaving our bunny with sitter for the first time and we’re little nervous, but Allie took great care of him. I would definitely recommend Allie.”
“Heather is amazing !!! our dog Carlos was a happy boy when we got home we got updates throughout the whole process. We will definitely be using Heather again.”

I highly recommend Kelly. She took great care of my cat, feeding him with clean dishes everyday and scooping his litter box. Because he is a hider and required no play time, she did not mind watering the plants on my small patio. She reported signs he was okay on every visit. I will definitely be using her again.
Ioana not only accepted my booking very last minute, but took the BEST care of my babies! Some scheduling issues with evening care resulted in lack of litter clean up, which Ioana promptly addressed and took care of without being a part of original care plan. Great communication, highly attentive, would recommend to anyone!!
Heather is so sweet! She offered a repeat meet and greet when we got our second pup so he could get to know her as well. She was also able to help with drop ins last minute this visit which was so appreciated. She is thorough, asks great questions to ensure good care, and sends photos with her visits! Highly recommend :)
Elizabeth is amazing! She took the best care of my two little kitties, Louie & Quiggy 🐱 She indulged all of their favorite things…playing in the backyard, treats on treats, and all the pets. She was very communicative and sent me so many pictures. I loved all the updates. They made me feel like my kitties were in good hands while I was away. I cannot recommend her enough.
