Angie was our ideal cat sitter taking care of Biscuit and Bagel for 3 days. She sent great updates and did exactly what was asked of her. We came home to two very happy and well taken care of kittens. Would certainly love to book her again for future trips!!

I was always very happy when Vicky was available to watch my pets (2 cats and 1 bearded dragon). I have since moved out of the area and miss her pet care services. I knew my animals would be well taken care of and my instructions followed. Vicky would communicate by text with any questions and also send pictures of what my pets were up to in my absence. These communications prevented any worries I may have had about their care while I was away. Vicky loves animals, all types. I highly recommend Vicky to anyone looking for an attentive and reliable pet sitter.

Mayra was great! She met with me before the engagement to meet my dogs and make sure she knew what they needed, and communicated after each walk. Best of all, both of my guys were relaxed and happy to see me without being frantic when I got back. That's the real sign of a great sitter. Will definitely use again.

Lucia and David are wonderful dog sitters! They have been incredibly flexible and helpful watching my dog during the day and they always go above and beyond. During a heatwave they offered to bring over ice cubes for my dogs water. Overall theyre excellent and I will be continuing to book with them!

Ellie took great care of my purebred Pekingese, Koda. She's a natural talent with animals, but I saw that most especially when she watched him for the first time with minimal introduction and little preparation. Despite the impromptu nature of the arrangement, she was able to attend to Koda's needs and took him on various outdoor excursions with no trouble. Very happy to have left my precious puppy with her!!

Jenny has been a dog lover all of her life. She grew up with at least 2 dogs at a time. No one could care about dogs more than her. She is disciplined and organized. She would be an amazing Rover sitter. I know she would take excellent care of any animal she was with. I hope that you’ll consider her for this job as I know her heart of love for these precious animals.

Leilani was very responsive to our request for a last minute cat sitter and communicative throughout the process and visits through the app. She provided our cat food (including mixing in medication) and litter maintenance and petting. The cat had no complaints when we got home. Highly recommend Leilani for your cats.

Donna was absolutely amazing. Her and Bruno got along so well and she did everything that I asked for him. She took him to parks and played with him for the whole duration of the check in and left him so happy and tired when she left. Definitely would trust her with Bruno again, and with any other dogs or cats out there in this world!

Yevgeniya and Sasha have done an excellent job taking care of our puppy. Penny is a handful at times, still being house trained and generally learning the ropes. Yevgeniya and Sasha are patient and help with the training process during their drop-in visits. Penny gets the midday playtime, feeding, and potty break that she needs on a consistent basis. They help keep track of her progress and update us during the visit. We would highly recommend these two.

Allison was very attentive to Fenway's needs while I was on vacation. She has a dog of her own, Bode, and sent pictures throughout the weekend of the two playing as well as updates on how Fenway was doing. Allison was especially accommodating when I was late to pick Fenway up at the end of a long weekend. We'll definitely use her again in the future!
