1. Kathleen H.
“Katie did a great job looking after our two cats. She left us thorough notes on what she did during each visit and sent lots of photos. She even volunteered to vacuum litter on the floor, which was above and beyond what we expected. One of our cats is very shy, and we were impressed that he felt comfortable with Katie after just a few days. This was our first time leaving our cats with a sitter, and Katie made the experience stress-free for us. We will definitely rebook with her next time we go away!”
2. Chelsea R.
“Chelsea has done drop-in visits with my mini labradoodle for a number of months now and has done a wonderful job! She’s great with communication, my dog loves her SO much, and she lets me know when something seems off with my dog. AND she takes the cutest pictures on every walk with my dog! Chelsea is the first sitter I’ve dealt with on Rover and because of her good nature with my dog, the only one I’ve needed to reach out to!”
3. Regan M.
“I can’t talk her up enough!! She even helped care for my puppy after her spay. She takes care of my dog 3x a week and is dependable and very flexible.”
4. Kaysie Y.
“One of my dogs is hesitant to other people but they both warmed up to Kaysie right away. Kaysie was super flexible and accommodating and sent the cutest photo updates from her visit. I really appreciated everything she did and highly recommend her!”
5. Jennifer S.
“Jennifer is fantastic. She is so kind, communicative, responsible, and is amazing with our kitty cat. I had a full week of working and events and meetings after work and my husband was traveling. Jennifer came everyday 3 times a day to play with Helen, make sure her food and water were good, clean her litter, and she even brought in packages and signed for them. Just so incredibly helpful. We love Jennifer and cannot recommend her enough!!”
6. Molissa S.
“Molly was awesome with my pup Leo! She was easy to communicate with, came over on short notice, and sent photos and updates during the visit. I certainly feel better leaving the house when I have her booked! Thank you Molly!”
7. Linnea M.
“Linnea was very responsive and helpful when things did not go exactly to plan. One of my dogs is prone to accidents and she did a good job cleaning those up as they occurred. She also helped when one of my dogs was digging a hole under the fence. She was kind, responsive, and clearly enjoyed spending time with our dogs. She followed instructions well for their care and I can wholeheartedly recommend her for drop in appointments!”
8. Rachel M.
“Rachel was very communicative and sent us lots of nice pics of our cat on her visits! She helped us out last minute and we couldn’t have been happier having her check on our cat while we were away.”
9. Stephanie & Benjamin L.
“Stephanie was a life saver when we took a trip to Pittsburgh and needed someone to hang out with our dog while we went to a show. Micah was relaxed and calm when we got back!”
10. Meghan M.
“I have a Great Dane and Meghan has always been so wonderful with walking her. She is not always a easy walker and she always does great with her. Opal (my great dane) gets so excited to see her and spend time with her! I can recommend Meghan enough to love on your pets when you can't!”
11. Annie B.
“Annie was INCREDIBLE!! My kitty, Helen, absolutely loved her. Annie thought of everything and she was so great to work with. HIGHLY recommend!!”
12. Natalie D.
“Natalie is wonderful! Have to use her often for business travel which is random and sometimes very last minute due to projects. She is very reliable! Don’t steal her time please, I need her! Lol”
13. Jack C.
“Jack has been an incredible caregiver for our dog, Lucy. He takes her on long runs, ensuring she gets the exercise she needs while enjoying the outdoors. His playful spirit shines through as he throws the ball for her, engaging her in endless games that keep her tail wagging and her spirits high. Beyond just playtime, Jack showers Lucy with the attention she craves, making her feel loved and cherished every day. It’s evident that their bond is special, and Lucy absolutely adores him. But Jack's care doesn't stop with Lucy; he has also formed a wonderful relationship with our cat, Milo. Though she can be more aloof, Jack's patience and kindness have truly made a difference. He approaches her on her terms, allowing her to warm up to him at her own pace. Over time, he has earned her trust, and now Milo adores him just as much as Lucy does. It’s heartwarming to see how Jack’s gentle nature fosters harmony in our home, making him an invaluable part of our family.”
14. Jordan D.
“I'm happy with the care my cat received from Jordan. The daily photos and status updates regarding how my cat was doing really helped to put my mind at ease while I was away.”
15. Lauren H.
“Lauren was great with my pups! Appreciated the communication and updates she shared. Will book again!”
16. Sydney M.
“Our golden retriever, Remy, receives exceptional care from Sydney. Her attention to detail, energetic nature, and playful demeanor make her an outstanding caregiver. I highly recommend Sydney for your pet-sitting needs. She is dependable, trustworthy, and demonstrates a genuine passion for animals. Remy absolutely adores her!”
17. Tiffany M.
“We were very pleased with Tiffany once again during the 5 days that she cared for our orange cat Nuggy! She was punctual on her daily drop-ins, provided quality playtime and cared for all the necessities. We highly recommend her.”
18. Emma B.
“I'm writing to wholeheartedly recommend Emma as a pet sitter. I've had the pleasure of using her services for several years, and she's been absolutely fantastic in caring for our two rescue dogs, a Pitbull Mix and our psychotic Frenchie. Emma has gone above and beyond in providing top-notch care for both our dogs. Whether it's a day trip or just a walk. I have complete confidence in her ability to keep them safe and happy. Her reliability and trustworthiness are unmatched – I never have to worry when she's with our dogs. One of the things that sets Emma apart is her willingness to accommodate the special needs of both our rescues. Our Pitty craves attention like no other and Emma is happy to provide her with jaw massages to relax her. She's also been wonderful with our Frenchie, who has quite the Napoleon complex which causes him much anxiety. Emma takes the time to understand each pet's unique needs and goes out of her way to ensure their comfort and well-being. Her communication skills are also excellent. Emma keeps us updated with regular photos and messages, so we always know how our dogs are doing while we're away. I highly recommend Emma to anyone looking for a competent, trustworthy, and compassionate pet sitter. She's a true animal lover, and it shows in the exceptional care she provides.”
19. Lillian V.
