5. Tessa F.
“Tessa was amazing with our two hyper dogs! She was patient, kind, and communicative from start to finish. She definitely made us feel comfortable leaving our fur babies for a few days-sending pictures at least once a day! She even washed the bedding and towels before leaving which was so over and above what we ever expected of her. I highly recommend using her for any and all pet needs. We greatly appreciate all she did for us!”
6. Christian A.
“Christian was great to work with. I was using an in-home sitter for the first time for a two week trip. They spent extra time getting my nervous dog comfortable after a rocky first night! Lots of updates each day, brought in mail, took out trash, in addition to walking, feeding and hanging out with my dog. Would definitely recommend them for future needs!”

“Mackenzie was a great sitter. She accepted the booking with minimal notice and was extremely communicative throughout the entire booking. She provided regular updates and was very punctual with her visits. Strongly recommend!”

“Highly recommend Johanna for your pet sitting needs. She watched my pup in my home for a couple of days and provided excellent care! Communication was prompt and Johanna provided lots of pictures.

15. Rachael K.
“Rachael was absolutely incredible. She was so patient and kind to my hyperactive pup! She gave me updates and pictures every night which put me at complete ease. She was so kind as to clean the sheets and towels before she left! I would highly recommend and will use her again to watch my dog when I’m out of town!”
16. Brielle E.
“Brielle did a wonderful job taking care of my dog when I had to go out of town for a day. She sent updates throughout the day and I came home to a happy and well-exercised pup. I’d definitely recommend her for house sitting and dog walks!”
17. Jonathan S.
“This was our first time working with Jonathan as our pet/house sitter and it was a great experience. We were grateful that he was willing to stop by a second time before our trip so we could have the peace of mind that our dog would recognize him and be comfortable. He also sent us updates and pics every couple days and the house was just as clean as we left it. Couldn’t ask for more!”
18. Hallie B.
“Hallie is a responsible and loving pet parent of her own who loves to get her pup out on walks and has completed extensive training with her own pup that will come in handy with other dogs, too. You can trust Hallie will put her all into any task you ask her to do with your fur baby! :)”
19. Amanda W.
“Amanda has been our dog sitter for quite some time and our Maggie just loves her. She is caring, extremely dependable and wonderful with our Westie. I recommend her without hesitation. I never have any worries when I’m out of town. You can be sure your pets will be in the best hands possible with Amanda.”
20. Diego P.
“I would 100% recommend Diego. He did two overnights with my pit bull rescue without a lot of notice after another dog sitter (not from Rover) backed out. Diego was very responsive in all of our interactions. Ori is not a starter dog - so an experienced dog handler was needed. Diego managed every challenge including administering anti-seizure meds, and taking care to not have face to face encounters with other neighborhood dogs during her daily walks. Our house was also in tip top shape when we returned. I am very pleased with our experience.”
