Brad was top notch, we’re so happy we found him! Our dogs were happy and healthy when we got back home from vacation. Brad was punctual and we didn’t have to worry at all with our dogs in his hands. In fact, we immediately booked again with Brad and look forward to having him back. Thank you so much, Brad!

Austin does a great job with our kitties and made them his priority while we were away. Even with some tough winter weather he always made sure the kitties had some play time and food. Will definitely use him again!

We just returned from a 2 week trip, and Cory provided care for our 5 cats. He did a fabulous job! 3 of the cats were elusive, but the other 2 warmed up to him. He saw to all of their needs, and also fed the birds and squirrels for us. He did all we asked of him, and I was confident that they were in good hands. I highly recommend Cory, and will reach out to him for future needs. Thank you, Cory for the great job.

I couldn’t have asked for a better drop-in sitter for my cats. She truly went above and beyond, especially for my oldest cat who had matted fur. After asking for permission, she removed the matted areas and educated me on maintenance. I can tell how much she loves cats and how knowledgeable she is about them. I am so glad I found Rover and Sara.

We used Austin again for the 2nd time for about 7 days while we were away. Austin is super communicative and reliable and always shows up on time and send lots of pictures of our babies!

Rachel is amazing! Maybe a "cat whisperer?!" First time leaving my dog for more than 1 night. I loved the pics I got more than I expected! It eased my mind, so I could concentrate on my work trip duties. She gave great care & love to my 2 cats and 1 dog. Highly recommend! Good job, I will use again!
