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!

Christina was great. We came up for a weekend and stayed at a hotel and she was able to help take care of our dog from the hotel. She communicated very well and was very punctual. We would definitely use her again on another trip to the city.

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

Bernadette is amazing!!! It was my first time using Rover and first time having a stranger watch my pet rabbit. I was very worried about having someone in my apartment when I was away and very worried about my rabbit. Bunnies are very sensitive animals, and I can confidently say that she knows how to care for a rabbit!! I also find her very trustworthy! She did drop-ins to care for him. I left long, detailed instructions. Bernadette took the time to read and follow them all, which is super kind and amazing. She sent lots of photos and was very communicative throughout my time being away. I am so thankful I found her and am thankful for how she treated my bunny. It was a very easy smooth process. I will definitely use her for all my rabbit needs, and would highly recommend her for anyone!!!!

Mackenzie recently looked after my two year old Golden, Seamus, for a weekend. I could not speak higher of her professionalism and care for Seamus. Although this was the first time I have left my pup for any period of time, Mackenzie settled my nerves by providing plenty of updates to keep me in the loop and ensure he was happy and well cared for! I can't recommend her enough!

Julia is a dog owner herself, and has repeatedly bent over backwards to ensure her dog has the care it needs. Whether that’s making inconvenient trips home during breaks on long work days, or understanding that she won’t be able to provide her dog with the care and stimulation it needs on that day and taking him to doggy day care. She is very realistic about her schedule and the care it takes to raise a healthy and happy pup, and is willing to make sacrifices to ensure her dog remains healthy and happy.

About: I own a chocolate lab i’ve raised him since he was a puppy he’s now 2 years old and is a very good boy but at the end of the day he’s still a silly lab. I’m a student so I have a lot of free time in between classes and on the weekends to walk/ care for your dog 🐕 I’m very gentle and will take your dog on long walks, play with them all day nap with them and do anything you want me to do with them!

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.

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!!

Jess took care of Soda, my Pekingese dog, on a last minute notice. I had to fly out that night and needed a sitter for the next few days while I was on an emergency trip. She asks all the right questions on how to best take care of my dog, as well as provided updates frequently. You can tell that she genuinely cares which is reassuring. She also responds very quickly. She’s a reliable sitter and will be reaching out to her for dog sitting in the future. Thanks Jess!
