My partner and I went out of town for 5 days and we wouldn’t have trusted anyone else with our “kids”! She sent photos everyday and my doggo was so well taken care of. She communicated every step of the way! Will definitely be booking again

We love Shelly and Avery! They treat our dogs like family, are so flexible, and go over and beyond to keep us updated on the dogs when we are out of town. I highly recommend Dhelly and Avery!

It seemed scary having someone we don’t know come into our home to take care of our kitty, but Lisa put those worries to rest! She was very sweet and gentle with our little Dexter who is always wary of new people. He grew a liking to her almost immediately and animals usually know when someone is kind and trustworthy. Couldn’t be happier with the experience. We will definitely be asking her to look after him again. 😺

Monica was great! Such a relief to get detailed updates on my cat each day as I was away on vacation. She took excellent care of him and made sure our place was clean when she left (litter box + carpet spot cleanings, plus she watered our plants). She's very sweet and you can tell a natural animal lover. I would definitely book her again!

Jeremy has been a great drop-by person for my cat who is elderly with people issues. Jeremy is super patient and Sophie seems to be pretty relaxed with him! Would suggest Jeremy if anyone is looking for a new sitter.

Chelsea is so great to work with and I know my puppy loves when she comes by. She’s understanding of my puppy’s energy and needs and it gives me peace of mind knowing she’s cared for.

Justin is the best! He has taken care of our puppy, Cash, several times and we are always comforted by the love he shows as soon as Cash walks in the door! As a puppy, he has a lot of energy and Justin takes time to play with Cash while he cares for his every need.

Heidi was so wonderful to work with! She was great at communicating and while we were gone, our heater breaker flipped off and she quickly helped identify it and fix it. Our cat Pearl was well cared for while we were away and we would gladly book Heidi again!

Sarah was wonderful looking after our two kitties! It was their first time being without us, and we loved getting photos and updates each time she stopped by to feed them. She even took time to hunt down our extra shy kitty to make sure she was okay. We can’t wait to have Sarah look after the girls again!

Troy has been nothing but amazing, not only with our dog but with everything he does! Our pup is a bit people selective and moose was comfortable in no time due to Troy being patient and knowledgeable about how to handle a more reactive dog. My husband and I would 100% recommend him to take care of your furry friend too! He is always on time and makes sure he leaves the house cleaner then when he got there!

Hi my name is Luna and I’m a Maine Coon cat. My mom found Mr. Scott on Rover and asked if he would look after me while my family went on a 10-day vacation (without me!). Even though he normally takes care of doggies (?), he agreed to help us out after coming over to meet me. I really like Mr. Scott! He came over twice a day to check my food, let me on the porch and even played toys with me! Being a Maine Coon, I like to be social - so seeing Mr. Scott come over really helped me not miss my family so much while they were away. I hope if mom and dad have to leave without me again, that Mr. Scott comes back to see me! Thank you!!???

I have known Tierney for almost 13 years and she has always been an animal lover. She helps me take care of my dog when I am away and she does an excellent job of taking care of my dog. My dog has to follow a special diet due to allergies and Tierney has always been very accepting and accommodating when it comes to making sure that my dog only has the foods that she can have when she's taking care of her. Tierney also has a large house with a very large back yard that is great for all animals. I know that Tierney would take care of anyone's dog as if they were her own.

Charity is a very nice lady. It’s obvious she’s an animal lover. She took very good care of Ladybug and made sure she was exercised twice a day. I highly recommend you consider her for your pet care needs.
