“She came to the rescue at the very last min. We ended up staying an extra day of our vacation and the originally scheduled sitter wasn't available. Not the best animal photographer 😂 but that's not the service. I was happy to come home to happy n healthy Babies”

“I’m so glad I chose to book with Devinder! I’ve been blown away by his responsiveness, flexibility, communication, and clear love for pets :) He’s very professional, but also comes across like a friend who’s always down to help you out and care for your pets like they’re his own. I trust him with my pets for the long haul!”

“Violet loves Jora!!! I think she may even like her more than me. 😂 It’s apparent that Jora is an animal lover through and though, she immediately bonded with Violet and was super communicative through the whole process. I won’t be leaving my dog with anyone else from now on, Jora is the best of the best and I’m sure your fur children will love her just as much as Violet did 😍”

I really appreciate you Sophie for checking in on my pup while i was gone and showing her love! I would highly recommend you to anyone. Once again thank you☺️”

19. Emmalee G.
“Emmalee was so easy to work with! She was communicative and kind all the way from my initial request through her final visit. After our first meet & greet I felt assured that Justin (my cat) and my home would be safe with her. He was adopted just a month ago and I was really nervous to leave him. He’d only come out to see one of my visitors before Emmalee came to catsit. By her second visit he was on her lap. I am very happy with our experience and hopefully a new long-standing relationship with our awesome catsitter, Emmalee. ☺️”
20. Alisandra M.
“This was my first time using rover so I was a little apprehensive, but Alisandra met me before the booking which gave me so much peace of mind. She was super patient with my cat and very communicative and flexible. I would definitely rebook with her in the future and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter!”
