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!

Elizabeth was amazing!! She was prompt and responsive, and sent me pictures of my babies everyday. She was kind to me and I can tell that my dogs also really enjoyed her. I came back to a tidy house and happy dogs! I will absolutely use her again in the future.

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.

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.

So glad to have found Keaton shortly after moving to town! He stayed in our home with our dog and cats for a couple nights and took wonderful care of them and the house. Our dog is usually a nervous wreck after we've been gone a couple days, but it seems that Keaton's company was enough to keep him happy and relaxed. Thanks so much, Keaton! Will definitely be booking again!

Maddie is the best! Our dogs get pumped when they see her come around. When Maddie is coming over, it’s like our dog’s fun, hip aunt is in town for the week, or weekend. We truly appreciate that Maddie keeps us updated on anything we need to know about, and also provides us with pictures of our dogs out on walks. Whenever we get back from a trip, our dogs sleep for days from all the fun they had. In summary, I cannot recommend Maddie highly enough. If you want a bad dog sitter, then go find someone else. If you want the best in the biz, go with Maddie

Amanda was fantastic. I feel secure in leaving her with my dogs. She followed their schedule and gave them a lot of love and attention. My home was just as I left it when I returned. She is intelligent, personable, and dependable. I plan to use her for my trip in September. I can now go on my cruise knowing everything will be okay at home. I highly recommend her.

Lee jumped in and helped housesitting my dog and cat while I was out of town. He was great! I got daily updates with photos (always appreciated). My cat and dog were both well loved and well taken care of. He was quick to respond and always asked questions. Would definitely have him watch my fur babies again when I'm out of town!

Amy was amazing with our 2 kiddos, one cat and one dog. She provided regular updates and it was clear she formed a special bond with our pets. We leveraged Amy for a long housesitting stay and we were truly able to relax given how great she was. We will definitely use Amy for our next trip!

Emily was wonderful with my two large dogs, who have a lot of energy and have some dog reactivity to be managed, so they are not the easiest dogs to look after. I was very nervous about leaving them with a new person (first time using Rover!) but Emily had come recommended and I felt much more comfortable after speaking with her and doing a meet-and-greet. She kept me updated with photos and video throughout the stay and I returned to two very happy content pups. Can confidently recommend Emily as a conscientious and attentive sitter.

David has been a lifesaver when it comes to us needing someone to watch our pups. He’s always persistent with knowing if our dogs are on any kind of medication or if they have a schedule when it comes to feeding and letting them out. He’s very quick to respond if you’re just wanting to check in on your pups to see how they are doing with David. Overall, I would always pick David to watch our pups and he’s always so sweet and gentle with them!

Marinie did a phenomenal job watching Quasar. She kept in touch while I was away, with perfect balance of information and requesting information back from me. I had no concerns about my boy, so could enjoy myself completely.
