1. Kaitlyn M.
“Kaitlyn had great communication ahead of her visit and helped both pups avoid any accidents in the apartment. I appreciate that she spent time playing with them and sent cute pictures.”
2. Kathleen H.
“Kathleen was great. We needed a short-notice stop in so we could attend to a family emergency and she was quick to reply and take the weight of cat care off our minds. She came right on time and sent plenty of pictures of the cats, plus one of their food bowls so we knew they were well fed.”
3. Molissa S.
“Molissa is absolutely lovely and always takes such good care of Diana, who adores her! She's also been incredibly flexible and generous, we really appreciate her. Highly recommend!”
4. Kaysie Y.
“Kaysie was great! She was able to accommodate my dog on a last minute notice, and she made me feel comfortable as she is the first time I used Rover.”
5. Chelsea R.
“Chelsea does a great job with Champies. She takes great care of her and Champies is really starting to come around which takes time with her!”
6. Jennifer S.
“Jennifer takes excellent care of our puppy. She is reliable, kind and knowledgeable about animals. I am so grateful for the peace of mind she brings knowing that my pet will receive the best care possible while I’m at work.”
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. Kaitlin K.
“Kaitlin was amazing! She came to our house to check on our puppy twice a day. She took him outside to play and sent us great pictures. I felt completely comfortable with her coming to our house and leaving our dog with her. Highly recommend.”
9. Kirsten E.
“Kirsten was amazing with my permanent and foster cats, arriving punctually every day and communicating to me a day ahead of time about any possible delays. She sent daily detailed updates and very patiently and skillfully navigated my fosters’ many nervous and scared quirks. I rescue cats and caring for them is a 24/7/365 commitment and rarely get time off to myself; I also tend to foster cats with special physical or psychological needs so I can’t just have any random catsitter. I’m grateful that I can leave them in Kirsten’s capable hands, take a breather, know they’ll be fine, and come home to happy kitties. I very much recommend her.”
10. Genessa K.
“Genessa cat- (and house-) sat for 10 days. Due to the sickliness of our fur-baby, Genessa had to closely monitor our cat to ensure she ate enough each day and successfully took her (three different) medications. We also gave her contact details of our vet to allow her to make appointments to have fluids intravenously and additional medication. Genessa seemed totally unphased and made appointments for every other morning, fitting her schedule around our cat to ensure she remained healthy in our absence. We returned to a super happy kitty and an incredibly clean home. Genessa had cleaned and changed the towels and sheets and completely blitzed the entire flat. (Genuinely, it was cleaner than how we'd left it …!)”
11. Adventures with C.
“Cici took such great care of my clan, and took so many photos and always let me know when she was on her way. Super friendly and communicative on top of taking great care of the babies, all last minute! We love Cici and can’t wait to have her watch the babies again (:”
12. 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.”
13. Natalie D.
“Natalie took excellent care of our cat Milo while we were away. She was very detailed in her updates and even brought in a package that was delivered in our absence. I will definitely use Natalie again!”
14. Keilah V.
“Keilah is a great pet sitter! I have an extremely shy and anxious cat and somehow she got him to come out and play a little and even got a photo of him giving her a kiss! I was shocked! I recommend her for any pet needs and will absolutely be going back to her.”
15. Jack C.
“Jack has been phenomenal! He has cared for our multiple pets consistently over the last year and he is the only one I would trust with our beloved labradoodle. He’s been reliable and prompt and has even made himself available on short notice. Whats been very helpful is that Jack will take her on extended walks which we need because our dog is high energy. He takes her to her favorite dog park and gives her the lovings that she needs when we’re away. Highly recommend Jack for daily walks and overnight care.”
16. Lillian V.
“Amazing animal lover. Easy to work with when I had difficult instructions. Was so positive and nice. Followed the action plan for the animals to the tee. Very caring and you can tell is a natural animal person. Highly recommend if you don’t book you are the one losing out !!!!”
17. 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!!”
18. Jordan D.
“Thank you Jordan! You took fantastic care of Helen Rose at the last minute! She loves you!!”
19. Brittany D.
“Brittany is one of the most caring people I know, especially when it comes to pets and other animals. I don't think she could hurt a fly. My family's dogs love when she is around and can't wait for all the love she gives them, she brings joy everywhere she goes.”
