My dog loved Erica! After she watched him for a weekend, he whimpered when she left. She was very easy to communicate with, sent pictures of my pup, and left the house clean and tidy. I would definitely recommend her!

Laurinda puppy-sat for our two cockapoos in our home while we were away for 7 days. During that time, we felt so at ease. Poppy and Daisy adored Laurinda at our meet-and-greet, and she connected with them immediately. Laurinda contacted us each day with a mini-update and photo and at the end, she provided a general summary. Our house was well cared for, too! She went above and beyond what was expected. The morning after we returned, Poppy and Daisy scratched at our bedroom door to be let out, and they ran immediately to the guest room looking for Laurinda. They had forgotten she had already said ‘goodbye’, but we promise we’ll invite her back!!

Morgan was my first experience using Rover and took all the stress away! She provided frequent and thorough updates. I could tell in the pictures she shared my pup was having a great time. Can’t wait to book her again!

I think Kristin was great overall. She did exactly as I had asked in terms of feeding/litter cleanup and it seems she made a good effort to try and engage my cat despite his shyness. I think her communication/updates were generally good and I appreciated that she came to visit and talk before her scheduled visits. I can’t necessarily speak to her ability to care for multiple pets/dogs, but I think she did a good job with my cat!

A lifesaver! Alexis is punctual, professional, communicates regularly, and sends pics of the pups frequently! She took great care of our home and dogs while we were away- and even went the extra mile when our travel plans went haywire. I couldn’t give a stronger recommendation!

Heather's dog-sitting services were an absolute lifesaver for us and our dog, Boone. Throughout Boone's stay, Heather provided consistent updates and photos, which helped alleviate any worries I had about leaving him in someone else's care. Her attention to detail and genuine love for Boone truly shone through in every interaction. She took Boone on 3-4 walks per day and did an excellent job making sure he was exercised even though he has so much energy. I couldn't be more grateful for Heather's reliability and dedication to ensuring Boone's comfort and happiness while I was away. If you're in need of a trustworthy and compassionate dog sitter, Heather comes highly recommended.

Maura was absolutely amazing!!! Flexible and responsive. We moved and we’re leaving town 3 days later. Our dog has some anxiety and we were nervous about leaving him after moving because he wouldn’t go into any rooms except the living and bedroom. By time we got home he was comfortable exploring the whole house and seemed very confident. While we were gone our electric was out for 2 whole days and Maura worked with us on how and what to do with Sammy while she was at work during the day. She never once left him in the hot house. She transported him all over and made sure he was happy and comfortable. Maura went above and beyond to make sure Sampson was taken care of AND that coming home for us was stress free. She sent pictures and updates and we could tell right away that Samson loved her and was having a good time. I would recommend Maura to EVERYONE.

Rebecca did an amazing job with our very reactive pup! Our dog is very sweet with humans but is very reactive towards other dogs, making walking her understandably challenging. Rebecca watched her for a week and had no issues during this time. Would definitely recommend!

Leah is a kind and caring pet caregiver, and I would recommend her to anyone who needs help with their dogs, whether for a quick walk or an extended stay. Her sweet dog, Nellie, loves other dogs and doesn't have a aggressive bone in her little mini-golden doodle body!

Jacoby watched my Pomeranian puppy the very first time I had to leave him when I went on vacation last year. I like to bring Ace along with me as much as I can, so I was nervous about leaving him with someone else, but Jacoby proved to be worthy of my trust & took great care of my boy! He stayed in my home per my request to make sure Ace was as comfortable as possible & sent me daily updates with pictures to ease my separation anxiety. Since then, he has also taken Ace on walks when I'm stuck at work or busy in the evenings at events. I'm very thankful to have Jacoby around to help take care of my pup & Ace has grown to really love him as well.

Olivia stayed at our home a week with our sweet pup Juno. Juno is a rescue who has a hard time with new people. It says so much that Juno loved being with Olivia. The walks are one of Juno's most favorite things and Olivia gave her a ton of walks to love. Will definitely have Olivia care for Juno again.
