Carolyn was great! She loved Oppy, sent pictures of her playing with him daily, and he was happy as could be when I came back! She was also very flexible and understanding with the timing of when to come see Oppy and some confusion due to me having old kitten food still out. I really appreciate her communicativeness and understanding as I guided her to the correct food to use. Would definitely recommend as a cat sitter!

Annie is the best person I could ever ask for to watch my cat when I’m gone. She’s super experienced with cats and particularly FIV+ cats which reassured me. Not only would she go above and beyond with food, water, and litter maintenance, but she spent time cuddling and playing with my cat as if he were her own. 100000% recommend her for your cat

Mackenzie is great. She has watched my dog multiple times and always does an outstanding job. Between checking in, taking my dog Tara on many walks, and even going the extra mile to tidy up my home when Tara made a mess, she is just overall great- you can not go wrong booking her!

Julia is my roommate and has a 6 year old dog who she’s raised since he was a puppy. She loves all animals and is extremely responsible. She is very reliable and you never have to worry about communicating with her and trusting that your pet is safe with her. I am a long time Rover sitter myself and would absolutely recommend Julia to others if I ever couldn’t take a booking.

Tetiana is always there for me when I need help with my dog. With my crazy, unpredictable schedule it’s hard to plan everything ahead of time. Even if it’s last minute, I can count on her! By booking her for the entire week ahead of time makes sure that my baby will be taken care of!

I couldn’t rant and rave about Victoria more. Not only is she personally the sweetest person ever. But he love for my car Fred was above and beyond. She was very communicative during all visits and even went above and beyond and cleaned and kept Fred’s area nice and tidy! I even have referred her to other people already and they all have said raving things as well. I’m so blessed I found her!

Alexandra is one of the most kind and respectful people I know - she would be an excellent caretaker for a furry friend who needs a walk, temporary home, or companion. Alex is so incredibly diligent and approaches all her responsibilities with such grace. She has extensive history taking care of our adorable furry friends, and she would be an excellent choice to take care of yours too! I am happy to be a reference for anyone who has questions about Alex's ability to care for your pup - 5164914144.

Kaitlyn was so amazing with my kitties!! I would consider myself a fairly concerned pet parent and I always worry about my babies when I’m away, but Kaitlyn made me feel soo much better. She is extremely kind and conscientious and gives very detailed notes and photos! It is clear that she is very thoughtful in her visits and a true animal lover! Thank you!!

Tonks remembered Maria from her last visit and felt so comfortable around her (he’s very shy around new people) and was well looked after! Having Maria as a cat sitter always puts my mind at ease.

Yimiao took great care of my cats while I was away! This was my first time having a car sitter and she put all my anxiety to rest by sending pictures and updates about how they were doing. She even came by before the appointment and I walked through their routine and favorite toys, hiding places, etc. while she was picking up keys.
