1. Chelsea V.

“Chelsea was communicative, sweet, and playful with my 1yo mini dachshund Peanut! She came for the rescue on a last minute drop-in visit which was such a relief. We’re so grateful!”


2. Nat S.

“I’ve been really nervous about how someone in my home let alone taking care of jess. But Nat did such an amazing job with Jess and went above and beyond to help me when things occurred. Will definitely book again for my next vacation”


3. Briana R.


“Briana was awesome! Luna is a nervous girl, and can sometimes take time to warm up to new people, but she took very little time to warm up to Briana! It was clear right away that Briana is a "dog person" - and Luna could tell too. And Luna, who is often a super picky eater even with us, ate her whole dinner for Briana with no troubles, which is testimony beyond any 5 star rating! We wouldn't hesitate to use Briana again or recommend her - if Luna is relaxed enough to eat dinner, she clearly trusts her and is happy, so that's what counts! She was friendly and super helpful so we couldn't be more pleased.”


4. Danya E.

“Thanks so much! I didn’t worry about Jack at all! I knew he was in good hands. Again I apologize for the disarray of my apartment. I am sick (nothing contagious) and some days are better than others. Thanks for all you did! Jack’s not even yelling at me like he does when I first get home.😎😂”


5. Xuni L.

“Xuni was wonderful with my dog. She was diligent and attentive, and on time to all of the visits. She successfully gave her her morning pills and provided a lot of care! She was great with communication. My dog is large and can’t be around other dogs, and Xuni was able to navigate that well on the walks, along with her anxiety. I would definitely have her care for my dog again in the future!”


6. Brittany R.

“Brittany took great care of my 2 cats. I felt relaxed traveling as she updated me with photos and any news. Friendly, responsible, and responsive:)”


7. Lori H.


“Lori was the best. This is my second time asking Lori to take care of my cat. She is always on schedule and also will send you tons of photos of your pets. I wasn’t worried one bit while I was out of country.”


8. Caitlyn G.

“Caitlyn took such good care of my elderly cat for a week while I was away. Her daily detailed updates made me feel so much better being away from my little guy. I will definitely call Caitlyn again in the future, and highly recommend her!”




9. Nancy M.


“Nancy was an absolute pleasure. I’ll definitely be asking her to take care of my dog and cat again moving forward and will recommend her to anyone who is in need of her services. She sent me daily updates and pictures of my guys. It was really nice knowing that they were in good hands while I was away. Thanks again, Nancy!”


10. Amy M.

“Amy has been helping me walk dog and play with my cat for the last six weeks at noon times. She always arrives on time, and uploads photos/description of my dog and cat during each of her visit. Reading Rover cards with those cute photos has become a highlight of my day while I’m not home. My cat is shy to new people, but I can see her getting closer and starting to get used to Amy’s visit! My dog definitely loves Amy. Overall, I’m very happy to have Amy as my pet sitter and also recommend for others!”


11. Kristin H.

“Kristin did an amazing job taking care of our dog Benson while we were out of town. He can be a bit of a handful and she was so loving and patient in her approach with him. She was super responsive and sent lots of great pics and updates. Kristin was awesome and I would absolutely have her watch Benson again!”


12. Maanya L.

“Maanya was great! We have an older dog that take a good bit of care and she was so patient and communicative while we were away. Would recommend her to anyone!”


13. Sarah D.

“Great service! Sarah arrived a few days before to meet and greet the cats and get directions. She did the job on time and provided great reports. Would recommend!”


14. Nicole M.


“I can’t say enough positive things to describe how wonderful Nicole(Nikki) is with cats. She is THE cat whisperer. In her profile, she describes how she is able to work with shy kitties. She is 100% correct with that statement. One of my two cats tends to hide when there is a new person that comes into the home. Not with Nicole. My shy kitty greeted her at the front door as soon as she walked in. That is a first for her. It was immediately apparent that both my kitties were in love with her like she had been caring for them for years. It was such a beautiful thing to see. If you are looking for someone to take care of your kitty or kitties, you absolutely must hire Nicole. Moving forward, she is my new permanent choice for taking care of the girls while I am away.”


15. Joiee S.

“Joiee was so sweet with Gemma..highly recommend”


16. Lana P.

“Thank you so much!”


17. Matthew L.
“Matt is absolutely wonderful with animals & humans alike! My dog Piper gets excited to see Matt when I’m heading out the door for business trips or much needed vacations away from home. He sends me pictures of Piper living the good life on her walks with him and cuddled up content watching tv together. He’s clean, respectful, and a smart caring person. Piper chose him, and therefore I gladly do too! I never have to worry and having stress free travels is wonderful. Highly recommend and will be using his services as often as he’ll have us.”


18. Camilla F.

“Camila was the absolute best. She is the first pet sitter we had for our kitten, she visited three times a day and I never worried she wasn’t going to show up. She was communicative and caring.”


19. Emily E.


“Emily does a great job with Alfie! This is her second time watching him and she is always prompt in sending updates on how he is doing and making sure he is fed and his litter box is clean. He needs some extra vitamins added to his food as he is older and prone to getting nasal congestion and she has always added them in. It is great to come home to a happy healthy pet and it gives me a lot of peace of mind knowing someone is checking in on him.”


20. Leah F.

“Leah was great & she managed our furry doodle well. She maintained consistent communication and kept us updated how he was doing. Our dog enjoyed her company and became friends her. She was on time for all visits and followed the schedule provided. Recommend her for your pet sitting needs!!”
