Oli helped us out on really short notice and took fantastic care of our pup. It was such a relief to know our girl was getting love and attention while we were away. Thank you, Oli!

Ileandra was so great during our meet and great, interacting with Chico and asking questions about his personality, routine, and exercise. She immediately put me at ease and made me feel he was in great hands. While I was away she did send updates and pictures and Chico seemed to have a great time getting to stay home and hang with her. Thank you!

Rose was fantastic, we couldn’t ask for a better pet sitting experience. All of our pets adored her and seemed more than happy in her care. She sent lovely updates/photos of them and wasn’t afraid to reach out with questions. It was the most worry-free pet sitting experience and we look forward to travelling again knowing our pets will be safe and loved in her care.

We recently had Jessica to look after our two dogs. She was wonderful and so attentive. We received quite a few photos which included updates and we knew our dogs were in great hands. We highly recommend Jessica to anyone who is looking for someone to take care of their fur babies!!!

Nancy’s incredibly communicative and caring when dogsitting for our 2 small pups and my mom’s small Havanese. We felt our pups were in great hands and she was easy to work with when we had some last minute changes. One of our dogs is anxious and reactive - Nancy was thoughtful and patient in meeting him which we greatly appreciative. Will definitely hire her in the future.

I had an out of state house buying trip planned and my boxer randomly got kennel cough and was on medication. So, no kennel for him! I found Kiara on Rover and took a chance. Although I was a little nervous about the idea of someone I don’t know in my house, Kiara worked out perfectly! She kept in regular contact with pictures of Roscoe and what they were doing. She took great care of him, gave his meds as requested, and was a great companion for him during my absence for 5 nights. Oh, and she was a great house sitter as well (she spent the nights here too) I’d recommend Kiara! 5 ⭐️

Kim was exceptional. I planned a vacation the week of July 4th, and my normal kennel was booked. I decided I would try Rover, but the first sitter unfortunately had to cancel. I was already super nervous about a stranger watching my babies, and with the cancelation I was even more nervous. I messaged Kim and she said she likes to have a meet and greet first to make sure we were all a good fit. I really liked this. When she came over, at no charge, my Butters was originally super territorial, even growling. Kim handled it very well though, and within minutes he was giving her kisses. Originally, I was only going to have her watch Butters, and have my mom watch my puppy Izzy as sometimes Butters gets too rough her. I myself get nervous when they play sometimes. She mentioned a few times she didn't mind watching and said she had experience with dogs that get aggressive with other dogs, so I decided to have her keep both dogs. While I was gone I got pictures everyday, and when I returned my usually anxious Butters seemed less anxious than normal. I couldn't have been happier. An added bonus was the house was much cleaner than it would have been had I been here myself all week! I will definately use Kim the next time I go away and can't bring the fur babies.

Kiera has cared for my cats for several years both as an in-home overnight caregiver when I am gone for more than a couple days, and also as a drop-in visitor to feed and play with them when I'm away for the weekend. She is very reliable, loves the animals and they love her. She took care of my elderly tabby, who needed medication and frequent saline injections and was very gentle with her. She's also taken care of a 8-month old kitten rescued from the streets who was very antisocial. Kiera was very patient and made sure he was calm and comfortable, even though he was hard to keep track of! She even recommended some toys that would hold his attention and bring him out into the open more. I would enthusiastically recommend her as a petsitter.

Margot was AMAZING! My dog Gibbes loved her immediately. She was so sweet, kind and loving with him, and kept in touch the entire time she was here with pictures. She was extremely responsible and left the house spotless for when I got back after a 3 night stay. I am an anxious pet parent and had no anxiety leaving Gibbes with Margot - I can tell how much she cared for him and how safe and happy he felt with her! Will definitely be contacting her in the future and so grateful we found her.

Liesel is a true dog person, which is so important to me when leaving my rambunctious kiddos in someone's care. She snuggled them, appreciated and met their individual needs and personalities, and sent great pictures. I am confident that they were not only cared for physically, but were also loved on. They got walks every day, they house was super clean when we got home, and Liesel is super communicative. Her questions really indicate someone who understands and appreciate dogs. We will happily have Liesel sit for us again!

Bree was an attentive caring overnight sitter for my cat Jarvis. She was in daily contact and sent great photos and behavioral updates. On top of that she happily checked on my studio (separate building) and watered my large yard! I highly recommend Bree for all of your pet care and house sitting needs!
