6. Kayla W.
“I am so grateful that I found Kayla on Rover. We had a meet and greet and my animals really took to her. She has a very calming and gentle energy that really connected with my two dogs and 2 cats. She agreed to do a drop in visit for me while I was out of town for an extended day. She tidied up after my stubborn Frenchie, took care of their food needs, got them some sunshine and exercise and sent some adorable photos. I am so happy and have already set up another sitting with Kayla.”

8. Shaelyn R.
“Shaelyn was very personable and I felt that I could trust my diabetic pet with her. She took great photos and gave updates on how things were going. When I got back, my cat seemed well taken care of and not as stressed as she usually is after I’ve been away on vacation.”
9. Shelbi P.
“I have used Shelbi for nearly a year, and I’ll never use another sitter (if it’s up to me). She’s so caring and good to my furbabies and she goes ABOVE and beyond to make sure they’re safe and happy when I’m away. 100/100, DO RECOMMEND!”
10. Tatum L.
“I couldn’t be happier with the care Tatum provided for my cats, Jerry, Riley, and Joey! From our first meet and greet visit, Tatum impressed me by taking detailed notes to ensure Jerry, who is diabetic, received his correct insulin dose. Her attentiveness and precision made me feel confident that Jerry would get his shots on time, twice a day. Throughout my time away, she kept me updated with adorable photos and notes, which really put my mind at ease. When I returned, all three cats were relaxed, happy, and well-cared for. I wholeheartedly recommend Tatum to anyone looking for a caring, trustworthy, and attentive cat sitter-she truly treats pets like family! I will definitely book her again.”
11. Alice D.
“Alice was absolutely wonderful one of the few people who our shyest cat has warmed up too!”
12. Yolena M.
“Yolena was incredibly helpful and left robust notes at the end of her visit that left me feeling sure that my baby was well-taken care of. She communicated well and even helped with mail without being asked. Would highly recommend Yolena to any pet parent!”
13. Maggie M.
“Maggie is awesome! Super friendly and sweet. I scheduled her for drop ins while I was away for the weekend. She had great communication, sent lots of pics, and my dogs loved her. I felt super comfortable having her in my home while I was gone. Definitely will be booking with her again!”
14. Alanis R.
“Alanis did wonderfully with my elderly cats while I was gone for a few days. One of my cats even has some medical needs. I recommend her and would book again!”
