“Hayden was awesome, and I highly recommend her. She was very good with my cat and her daily reports of Birdie were hilarious and very detailed. She is honest and trustworthy. Thank you Hayden!”
“Monique is wonderful. Communicated frequently throughout our trip, asked questions about anything that came up with our cats, and helped us relax without worrying about our cats. She is friendly enough that our very shy cats felt comfortable coming out to spend time with her. I would highly recommend her for taking care of your fur babies, she is wonderful.”
“Sonia did a great job making sure my cat had food and water at her usual times! My cat is very shy and likes to hide. Sonia made sure Phyllis was OK by taking pictures of Phyllis in her favorite spot. Gave me peace of mind that my cat was healthy and doing fine while I was away.”
“Caitlin does an outstanding job watching my three kitties. She demonstrates excellent communication and provides wonderful updates. This was the fourth time I booked with her and I highly recommend her services!”
“Jessica was great! Very responsive, very friendly, sent updates, and took good care of Cheddar! Cheddar seemed very happy when we got home, and Jessica left the apartment very clean! 10/10 would recommend.”
“Thank you Laura! When I got home I found my kitties calm and snuggly. Your work was neatly provided and I’d instructed. Also, you sent pics that warmed my heart. I would happily have you come again for my next trip. Hugs”
“Maja was so sweet to come meet the pups on her own time and they immediately loved her. She learned their quirks easily and corrected unwanted behaviors like excited jumping well! I came home to some very happy pups! Thank you!”
“Julia is an absolutely wonderful pet sitter and communicator. When we needed a booking with just 4 days notice, she arrived ready to help. Every day she was perfectly timely and her check-in notes made me feel like my cat was well cared for. Her effort made my traveling easier and we'll definitely reach out to her whenever we may need this again.”
“Alex was so amazing with our two bunnies and extremely respectful of our home. Everything was tidy and the buns were happy when we got home. We’ll definitely rebook in the future!”
“Gabriela was such a blessing! She took such great care of our kitty Bill. She sent daily photo updates and detailed messages describing how Bill was doing. 11/10 we appreciate her so much! Goes above and beyond.”
“This was my first time ever using the Rover app and getting a pet sitter for my 3 cats. I was very nervous about leaving the cats at home during our 4 day trip since it would’ve been their first time being alone for a long period of time. However, Kristine was very good with the cats and very reassuring! She followed the instructions I had left, made sure the cats had what they needed, played with them and snuggled them! Of course, she sent photos of the cats during her daily visits and a detailed description of what was done that day. Which was amazing for easing my anxiety about leaving my pets at home. I definitely recommend Kristine for watching your fur babies and I will totally reach out to her when needed in the future! Thanks Again!”
“Ashley did a wonderful job watching my two kitties while we were gone for 10 days. She went above and beyond caring for them. On a super hot day she left extra water bowls out for them, and also thoughtfully took my garbage out that was starting to smell from too many kitty wet food cans. I looked forward to her picture updates each day and she always communicated when something was needed to be shared. Her care and attention to detail was top notch. I highly recommend Ashley and would book again. Thank you Ashley!”
