Michael was amazing! He is super kind, professional and clearly an animal lover. He took such great care of our pup, and I felt comfortable knowing she was in great hands with him. He sent multiple updates throughout the day & always kept me in the loop. I plan to definitely hire Michael again!

Meric was an excellent petsitter for our dog, Luci. He was very polite and kept our home clean. I was very anxious about leaving my dog, but Meric did a great job of putting my mind at ease with his friendly, knowledgeable demeanor and twice daily photos of them having fun. I would recommend Meric as a dog sitter for anyone!

Monica was so incredible with my mini dachshund Leo who suffers from separation anxiety. First, she was so quick to reach out on Rover and offered to do a video meet and greet and asked all the important questions to make sure that she had all of Leo's information so he could receive the best care. She arrived early and was so amazing with him. She took him on a long walk and then calmed him down when he was having separation anxiety! She sent me so many updates, with pictures and videos (all time-stamped) which was amazing to have throughout the night. I will be booking her again! She is so reliable, professional, and caring which is so important! Thank you, Monica!

Shanique is absolutely fabulous and the newest member of our family! She goes above and beyond to communicate with our family and help make sure our puppy is perfectly taken care of. She cared for our puppy while I was away on business and her attentiveness allowed me to focus on my work trip and not worry about our buddy at home. Peace of mind is priceless!

I booked Mary for 6 nights to stay with my 8 month old kitten. Mary exceeds the other reviews of her. She’s very trustworthy and will take care of your beloved pet maybe better than you do! :) She recommended I get a different toy for my cat that was safer for her and got her eating wet food while I was away. It’s obvious she genuinely loves animals. Mary is very organized and self-sufficient and a very lovely person. Will be rebooking if we can get her again!

Alia was fantastic. You can tell she is a natural with dogs and “gets” them. Tokki immediately jumped up in her lap when she came and was more interested in playing her than focusing on me leaving which is great for a dog with separation anxiety.

Alexis is such a stellar sitter. I’m grateful that someone as empathetic as her is about to take care of my old cat boy. Despite needing ridiculous amounts of medication, Alexis is always excited to see him and I know he’s in great hands when he’s with her. She’s the best pet sitter I’ve ever had!

I can't recommend Ciera enough for anyone in need of a fantastic pet sitter and dog walker! She's been taking care of my cat and bunny whenever I'm away, and I couldn't be happier with the love and attention she showers on them. Ciera isn't just your average pet sitter; she's a true animal lover with a genuine passion for what she does. Every time she comes over, my pets are greeted with smiles, belly rubs, and the kind of care that puts their well-being front and center. It's evident that she not only understands the responsibilities of the job but also genuinely enjoys spending time with furry friends. Her attention to detail is remarkable – from making sure my cat's favorite toys are nearby to following specific feeding instructions for my bunny. It's clear that she takes the time to understand each pet's unique personality and needs. What sets Ciera apart is her reliability and trustworthiness. I can leave for a trip with complete peace of mind, knowing that my pets are in capable and caring hands. She takes the time to create a bond with animals and that care goes beyond the basics. If you're looking for someone who will treat your pets like family, Ciera is the perfect choice. I'm grateful to have her as my go-to pet sitter, and I'm sure you'll be just as thrilled with her services as I am!

Ann Marie watched our two lab mixed rescues...1 and 2 years old..for a week while we traveled to my daughter's graduation. She was great! Lots of walks everyday, she sent pictures daily and wasn't afraid to text with questions. She looked after the house for us..everything we needed to enjoy the in-person graduation we thought would never happen! I would highly recommend!!
