Philip was excellent with our dog! He had separation anxiety and needs someone with him almost 24/7. Philip took excellent care of him and left us reassured about how he was doing. His updates were great, and we couldn’t have been more at ease. We will definitely use him again!

Clement is a great dog and house sitter, he is very caring and did an excellent job with my pups while I was away for several days. He has also been available for walks in short notice when I was in a pinch. I will be happy to request his help again soon.

Ari was super polite and communicative! She sent me pictures of my cat everyday and went above and beyond for him. She also helped make sure everything was tidy which I really appreciated! I will definitely come back to her in the future if I need a cat sitter.

Our second stay with Tiffany and once again she provided outstanding care for our girl, Molly. Tiffany is so engaging and so loving in her time with Molly. We got regular updates and photos showing how much she loves her time with Tiffany. We can go away and know that Molly is in great hands!

I cannot say enough lovely things about Rachel and how much our three critters (Rufus, Boudie and Inky the cat) absolutely adored Rachel sitting for them over the holiday weekend. Rachel kept us up-to-date with an abundance of pictures every day of the fur babies and took extra special care of Rufus due his upset tummy the night before her arrival. She fed him the extra chicken and rice and made sure he was hydrated and got some extra TLC during her stay. She put up with Rufus's ungodly early wake up time (Rufus likes to wake up the birds and the house at 5:30AM at the moment) and she left the house SPOTLESS after having a long weekend stay at our home. What more can I say? Rachel is extremely detail oriented, compassionate and dedicated - not to mention an all around lovely person to connect with. We cannot wait to see if Rachel is free to come stay for another weekend in the future. Thank you so much Rachel for an amazing weekend away from our critters! Rufus, Boudie and Inky miss you already!

I started to write this review a day and a half into my vacation while sitting at the pool because I didn't want to forget how I felt. First, I have to say that in the 4 years Daisy Fuentes has been with my wife and I, we have never gone on a trip without her. I almost decided not to go. Initially, we were looking to board her in a kennel, but the idea of her staying in a familiar place at home seemed better, so we decided to check out Rover. I decided to check out several different people and Patricia was top 5 on the list. I looked at all the top 5 and read the reviews. Although they all had good reviews, the reviews I read for Patricia seemed so real in the way they talked about her, plus she was Latina like me. When we did the meet and greet my dog fell in love with them automatically and I could tell the love they were showing her was also sincere. They showered her with affection unlike anyone else we've brought her around. It was joyful. Throughout our stay in Vegas, we got daily reports and photos of her and all the animals (we also have two cats). We saw pictures of Daisy on walks, eating food, relaxing, getting hugs & kisses and even pooping. We felt instantly comfortable and happy with our choice. I honestly love Patricia and her husband's vibes. I felt so comfortable from the moment we met. I prefer to take Daisy with us. Why shouldn't she get to go on an adventure too? We always say she has traveled more than most humans. From Oregon to Cali, to Vegas, Arizona, and most recently she did a cross-country trip when we moved to Ventnor City, NJ. Today we are in Philadelphia. Unfortunately airlines aren't as accommodating as they should be with larger dogs, but Daisy got the best care possible while we were away and we are thrilled with the outcome. The cats were very well taken care of as well. They are independent like most cats, but it was nice to see pictures of them too. My wife and I feel extremely blessed to have found them. They took away the worry of leaving our dogs with strangers.

Julie took care of my dog Newton for two days and was wonderful! She took photos each time she stopped by, and did everything as we asked. She spent time with Newton, made sure he went to the bathroom, and got him to eat food which is a struggle when we’re away. Highly recommend having Julie watch your pup!

Jessica was the most amazing overnight pet sitter I’ve had the pleasure to work with! Instead of being a straightforward case, I had to throw her a number of curveballs, which Jessica was an absolute pro in handling, with a level of kindness, patience and understanding that is rare to come across. She is just a great person and I am grateful I entrusted my fur babies with her! Thank you again and again, Jessica!!

Amira was the definition of “above and beyond” while watching Archie. She kept him company, took him on adventures and made sure he was fed/walked. Amira also kept in touch with us throughout our time away with photos and videos of Archie. We knew that Archie was in good hands and was having a great time. We look forward to booking her services again in the future.

Rebecca is amazing! We have a moderately chaotic situation with our pets as it is, and it only got more chaotic when we were out of the country! Rebecca went above and beyond to care for our sick dog, bring her to the vet, and clean up after her when she made a mess in the house. She not only took great care of everyone in all the regular ways, but her communication throughout everything that was going on and her willingness to do whatever was necessary to take care of the unexpected situations was amazing. We are extremely grateful for all that Rebecca did and we hope to be able to use her services again (minus the illness and visits!) very soon!!

Thank you, Hope, for taking great care of my little girl. Hope gave me lots of updates throughout the week and Penny obviously was disappointed she had to leave. She was looking for her in the guest room after I got home. I wouldn’t hesitate to use Hope again in the future.

Leaf took excellent care of Ernie, and we cannot thank her enough. She provided great updates, and we were left reassured that he was in good hands. He was even so excited to see her when she came back another time to care for him.

10/10 all around. I booked Breanna to stay in my house and watch my two dogs; a large bullmastiff mix, and a small/medium whippet terrier mix. Breanna came over for a meet and greet, and it was evident right away that she was incredible with dogs. My dogs usually take a little bit to warm up to new people, but they seemed to instantly bond with Breanna, which allowed me to go on vacation feeling way less guilty about leaving the pups behind. While I was away, Breanna was sure to keep me up-to-date with the cutest pics and recaps of their days. And when my return flight was delayed, Breanna was incredibly kind and flexible enough to stay another night with my dogs. She’s a true lifesaver. Whether you’re looking for someone to walk your dogs, or to watch them while you’re away, Breanna is your person!

I can't praise him enough. He helped us with our 3 1/2 years old Labrador, full of energy, many times, both in taking him on "loooong" walks and also stayed at our home to take care of him when we had to go on a short out of town trip. Our baby was really happy when Mattia came, and you know what that means.. It made us feel good and not guilty, because we knew he was going to take care of our baby really well.
