1. Patrick C.
“We are very happy with the service Patrick provided. He responded quickly to our request and met us the same week. A few days before our vacation he came to my house for the keys. During our time away he took excellent care of our cat and rabbits. He sent pictures and funny updates. He didn’t feel comfortable leaving our house keys so he met us again, after we returned, to give us back the keys. We appreciate how concerned he was with our house safety. We will definitely use his services again.”
2. Felix O.
“Felix was thoughtful and very easy to work with. I appreciated his flexibility in coming last minute to sit for us, and our cat Sky loved him!”
3. Senny M.
“Senny is wonderful! This is the second time she took care of my cats while I was away. She gives the best daily updates with pictures. I knew my cats were being loved on, played with and cared for!”
4. Meagan W.
“Meagan has watched my pup Bode many times over the years. He is an 80 pound husky mix that can be a handful at times, and she is incredibly patient with him! She's taken him on hikes and other adventures and he always comes back a very tired, happy, loved pup.”
5. Ruby P.
“Rest easy knowing your furry friends are in good hands! Ruby is by far the most competent and kind pet care professional I have had the honor to work with! I wouldn’t trust anyone else with my high needs pets - they require someone detail oriented, intuitive, compassionate and FUN - that is Ruby! Ruby was communicative, thorough, and easy to work with all around, what a joy! I didn’t have to explain much, Ruby took care of everything, thank you, Ruby!”
6. Debra I.
“Debra did an amazing job watching over my small, senior, angel dog. She was very communicative, thoughtful, and kind. I was able to go on vacation without worrying about my dog at all knowing he was under her care. I would absolutely book again.”
7. Simone A.
“I needed someone to help us with caring for our adult dog and puppy while I recovered from surgery. Our adult dog Winter doesn’t warm up to everyone but Simone is one of the few exceptions! Simone cared for our dogs just as we would have, and was great about communicating the details of her visits with them back to us. Highly recommend!”
8. Becky H.
“Becky went above and beyond in taking care of our cats. She was incredibly communicative, quickly responded to our cats' many antics, and was attentive to every detail of their care. Because of her great sense of humor, we were excited every time a new Rover card was posted, where her love and care for our cats was apparent. It can be hard to leave your pets with a stranger, but we felt completely at ease knowing that Becky was taking care of them. We would recommend her to all pet parents looking for a reliable and conscientious sitter.”
9. Heather W.
“I have known and trusted Heather for a decade. Ever since we met in college, she has remained one of my dearest friends--largely due to her compassionate, empathetic, and mindful nature. These characteristics--in addition to her love and passion for animals--make her an excellent caretaker for pets. She is trustworthy, responsible, and very intentional with her care. As someone who follows directions extremely well, she will certainly stay connected with you while providing love and reliable support for your beloved pet. I strongly recommend her as a dog walker or pet sitter of any kind.”
10. Robin B.
“Robin always leaves great notes and pictures each day to keep me connected with Oliver while I’m gone. Makes me feel less guilty for being away!”
11. Malia K.
“Malia was an absolute rockstar. Our kitties are usually pretty wary of new sitters but they warmed up to her right away. She was prompt and sent the cutest pics!”
12. Laura H.
“Laura is an amazing communicator. She was super understanding when our cat threw up and sent pictures which sounds gross but was super nice so we could see what was potentially wrong (he was eating his toy feathers). Sent lots of photos in general too, which we love 😸”
13. Danielle M.
“Danielle was fantastic! We are so grateful for her thoughtful care of our cat PomPom. This was our first trip since she's been on timed medication and Danielle did a phenomenal job with everything. Caring, considerate, timely and got it all done. Thanks and would recommend!”
14. Shelly M.
“Shelly is a fantastic pet sitter and all around lovely human. My fur family was well taken care of and Shelly went above and beyond when the cat puke struck. Highly recommended!!”
15. Hanna M.
“Hanna has watched my dog Lenny many times while I was traveling. She always takes great care of him and follows instructions. Lenny is a big eater and I had multiple experiences with other dog sitters where he was overeating, but this was never an issue with Hanna. She sends me plenty of photo updates and I can tell he has a great time. He is always excited when we show up at her house.”
16. Lauren W.
“This is the third time Lauren has helped take care of our creatures!! We would ask her again in a heartbeat, she is always communicative, delightful, and our weirdo creatures love her! Thanks Lauren!”
17. Lisa P.
“Lisa grew up around dogs and loves them dearly. She was prompt, gave good feedback, and showed patience in getting to know my dog. She will be a great sitter for your puppy or Marmaduke.”
18. Laura B.
“Laura did a fantastic job of taking care of our two cats while we were on vacation. It’s clear that Laura really cares about animals, and she treated our pets like they were part of her family while we were away. Laura sent updates and pictures of the cats every day, which really helped put our mind at ease and allowed us to fully enjoy our vacation. We definitely plan to contact Laura next time we need somebody to take care of our pets!”
19. Ananda S.
“Quick responses and very patient with my nervous pup! Thank you for your help Ananda!”
