3. Dominique S.
“Absolutely AMAZING sitter. I thought about leaving a bad review so no one else will snatch her up but she’s just too good not to brag about!! I have already asked her about watching our human baby, as well as our fur baby. 10/10 understands the assignment & does the extra credit 👏🏼”
4. Brett & Jessica C.
“My Binxy Buttons absolutely loved his visits from Jessica and Brett. They made sure that Binx was highly entertained each day with activities and play time. I received numerous photos each day and had no worries that my baby was well taken care of.”
5. Olivia E.
“We had a rocky start with the dog but Olivia stuck it out. She was always on time and left very detailed notes and pictures of Rocco. I would refer her to anyone. Next time we need a sitter Olivia is the one.”
6. Lori G.
“I was so pleased with Lori’s drop-in visit with Abby! It was her first time with Abby and it took some coaxing and patience on Lori’s part to convince Abby to trust her, but she got the job done! Lori was so kind to take Abby at the last minute too, which I really appreciated! Will absolutely use Lori’s services again, highly recommend!!”

She sent us great updates every time she visited and assured us our Howard was doing great. Definitely will ask her to watch our boy again! Thank you so much Audrey!”
10. Jessica T.
“Jessica was an excellent choice to catsit while we were away for Christmas. She was very communicative and sent tons of pictures each visit. She was also kind enough to take out our trash, bring in the mail, and she kept the litterbox spotless. I would hire her again in a heartbeat!”
11. Candace D.
“I have known Candace for over 10 years now and she has always had a deep love for animals. Not only her own pets but all living creatures. She always makes sure they are in a safe environment, they are comfy, and most of all feel loved just like a human.”
12. Marc T.
“First time using Rover AND a pet sitter and it was so easy and care free. Will definitely rebook with Marc. Loved seeing all the photos of my fur babies :)”
13. Clare F.
“Clare is truly the most caring person I have ever known, to both humans and animals! She is my dog's preferred sitter and gets excited at the mention of her name. She loves him as her own - walking him, allowing him to sleep near her, and never interrupts a good sniff session! She has been known to include him in her birthday celebrations (they share one) as well as her March Madness basketball bracket picks (he won last year)! My dog is my baby, and I trust Clare to keep him when I can't!”
14. Sarah Beth C.
“Sarah was great and even did a preliminary meet and greet as I have one dog that can have anxiety and gets jumpy. Shared all updates of my two boys and pictures. They looked very happy. Would use Sarah again for our dogs needs.”
15. Kloey & Logan R.
“Kloey and Logan went above and beyond while we were away! They sent detailed updates and awesome pictures that helped the sad feelings of separation from our cats. Will for sure be rebooking with them in the future!!”
16. Abby S.
“Abby was awesome! It made me feel so good to know my cat was well taken care of. My cat liked her immediately. She sent multiple pictures and my place was in great shape upon getting back! Thank you Abby, I hope to use you in the future!!!”
17. Elliana C.
“Elliana was an absolute superstar! She captured the most adorable photos of our pup that we can’t stop showing off. Super responsive, she made sure to check in with us for any special instructions, going above and beyond to give Bella the best care. If you’re looking for someone to treat your furry friend like royalty, Elliana’s your girl! Highly recommend her for drop-ins!”
18. Mariah F.
“Mariah was wonderful! I asked for her to drop in because I needed to be out of town last minute. She responded promptly, did everything I asked, and sent me an update of my pup while I was away. Will be using her again when I need someone to watch Wrigley.”
