“Happy kitties and dogs. They need Sandi to take care of them as they are high maintenance and demanding. They look forward to her arrival each sitting. Another 5 star sitting.”

“Karissa was a good kitty, chicken and house sitter. She updated me with how everyone was doing, and sent pictures. She let me know when she couldn’t find one of the cats, and together we figured out where he was. I would recommend Karissa to other folks looking for a pet sitter.”

“Betty was great with our house and our boys! She was attentive to the extra needs of our 2 dogs and kept in contact with us. Our house was left in the same condition we left it! Betty is a gem!”

“Hayley was super-attentive and it was always very obvious that she loves taking care of the kitties and chickens. I would definitely recommend her and would ask her for her services again in the future.”

“Madison was awesome! She stayed with Maggie at my house and did a great job. She left my house in better shape than before I left, provided me routine photos of my dog, gave Maggie proper exercise everyday, and loved my dog like I do. Maggie was a huge fan and so am I! I highly recommend her!!”

“Andi was amazing! Took such good care of our two pups and our home. Kept in touch with us and sent pics and even called to make sure it was OK to give one a benadryl when she was stung by a bee. We will definitely use Andi in the future!”

Vernal pet parents share their Rover experiences
Caitlin is a rockstar! She communicates promptly and follows directions closely. She had no problems handling / exercising our two energetic mini Aussies! Was also patient and kind with a couple of my miscommunications and adjusted. Came home to a tidy house and happy dogs! (But not TOO happy, which told me they had a good time! ☺️) So relieved to have finally found a house sitter that’s attentive, trustworthy, and clean! We’re grateful we found her, and you will be too. Don’t hesitate to book Caitlin if she’s available, you won’t regret it!!
