“Sarah is the best. Her approach to caring for our kitty while we were away was professional and timely with great communication. She knows and loves cats and our Olivia warmed up to her immediately. We highly recommend Sarah and we will not hesitate to reach out to her again when we need care and assistance for her.”

“This was my second time reaching out to Bruce to watch my cats while away on vacation. He did a great job taking care of them, and was flexible when I asked for additional drop-ins when one of my cats was having stomach troubles. He sent lots of photos and updates, which was greatly appreciated and nice to see. Thanks Bruce!”
“Molly was great. One of our cats, Maggie, absolutely adored her. She is a very finicky cat & has not liked any of our other sitters at all! When we came home she went through Molly withdrawals 😁. That alone showed us Molly is perfect for us. Molly was very conscientious & professional. Knowing she’s a vet tech gave us extra piece of mind in case something happened. She connected with our cats perfectly. She contacted us daily with updates & pictures. She answered immediately if we had any questions or concerns. We will definitely rebook with her!”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Southbury
Sarah was great! We were gone for quite some time, and our biggest concern was that our kitty would not have enough human interaction and become too isolated. But Sarah made real efforts to reach out to her. And it paid off, because our cat greeted her each time with purrs and meows. The proof was in all the photos and videos. Thank you, Sarah!
Bradley is the real deal. If you're lucky enough to book him, he's the best. Attentive, reliable, flexible and cares for your pets and home. I'm a tough one but I'd recommend him any day of the week. I trust him with my home and more importantly my furry family member. He's 5 star all the way.
