Rita W.
“I’m writing to highly recommend Rita as a responsible and caring pet sitter. Rita has watched our two cats, Trixie and Carol Channing, on multiple occasions, and we’ve always felt completely confident leaving them in her care. Trixie can be quite shy, but Rita has a gentle and patient nature that quickly earned her trust. She always took the time to make Trixie feel comfortable, often staying a bit longer than expected just to ensure both cats were happy and relaxed. Her dedication and genuine love for animals really shone through. Rita was consistently reliable and communicative. She kept us updated with messages and photos during each visit, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. It was clear from the pictures that both Trixie and Carol Channing were calm and content under her care. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Rita to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter. She’s been a wonderful presence in our cats’ lives and a huge help to us.”

“Sarah is a wonderfully caring and kind person who is super conscientious and responsible! I completely trust her with any of our pets because I know she will give them the very best care. She has a lot of experience with caring for pets and also a lot of work experience that proves how responsible and dependable she is. She worked with us at our cat cafe and was absolutely terrific at customer service, caring for the cats, cleaning up after them, advertising for us, and doing any task with very little direction. She was a lifesaver and huge support to our small business. The cats loved her too! She was a key holding manager and we would have her come back without hesitation. She has always been very easy to communicate with, and has such a great work ethic and so much positivity! Sarah is a remarkably trustworthy and hardworking person. I highly recommend her!”

Valley Place pet parents share their Rover experiences
Wes has done a fantastic job with drop-in visits for my goldendoodle. She's still in her puppy phase, and he makes time for walks and playing in the backyard. He has always been on-time and communicates well after each visit. Highly recommend him to anyone looking for dog care!
Hannah was very good with my dog Lucy and cat Toby. She was prompt and spent the time we expected with them. She followed my instructions very well. She sent pictures and gave report cards. It was great. I didn’t worry at all as I knew they were in good hands! I will definitely call on Hannah again!
Lilli is simply the best! She has watched my fur babies a number of times now. I travel a lot for work and sometimes I don’t get a lot of notice. Her flexible schedule makes my stressful trips away as stress free as possible and knowing my boys are in good hands while I am gone is everything!
